“We are an expat family and we don’t speak Dutch at home. My son has born here and attended to half-daycare for 5 times per week. When he was 3.5 years old still unable to communicate with other kids. Only some words, not complete sentences. I was worried about his first year at elementary school. As a solution I looked for a reliable person who can take good care of my son as well as teach him Dutch. My son has loved Tim at the first moment. He was always attendant to my son’s wishes. They played a lot, read a lot, talked a lot and after only half year he was super fluent in Dutch. My son has learned Dutch totally from Tim. And still they have good contact. Tim comes once a week to help him with his homework. We are so grateful to him for his efforts. I recommend Tim with my full heart!”
Baris Mentes, mother of children from group 5 and secondary school
“Let me start by saying that Tim is a great teacher! He finds a common language with kids and kids really enjoy the classes with him. Even though the class takes 2 hours, our daughter is always looking forward to it. She is never bored and always learns something.
He knows how to explain material to kids in a way that is understandable and is entertaining. I cannot recommend him enough.”
Tetiana Bogolomova, mother of daughter from group 7
“It seems like Emir liked the lesson a lot. Yesterday he asked us if he can meet with you again! I really appreciated how you make studying fun for him! Thank you a lot! “
Idil Bulak, mother of son from group 4
“We’re very happy to meet Tim. He is playing with our son since he was 2 years old. Tim is very good with children. He can play with them like a friend but at the same time he can be like a teacher.
He is flexible and he can answer my sons requests like singing, story telling, puppet shows. He is dedicated to his work and he is doing his best all the time.“
Sevil Atalay, mother of son from group 4
“Tim is a calm and very patient tutor, who has worked wonders with our son – thanks to his expertise and brilliant approach. Our son made a very good progress and showing more confidence within his school and we are appreciating the benefits of the one-to-one support for our son.
Tim is a very impressive tutor and is liaising directly with his school and class teacher. If needed, he can attend to parents meetings with the school teacher and tailors the planning of lessons to child needs according to the feedbacks received from school teachers.
The lessons are motivating and encouraging him a great deal and he always looks forward to the weekly sessions.
We are appreciating the good service, the professionality and encouraging assistance of Tim, not just what he has being doing for our son also for us, as being expat parents within different a county and trying to adapt ourselves with life and new education system.”
Sedef Guzuy, mother of children from group 1, 3 and 7
“Tim is an experienced, creative and patient tutor to our kids and family.
We are expat family and not familiar with the education system here. So it is a big challenge for us to coach our son at home. Tim has been helping us to read books and do exercises with my elder son since group 1. He always finds different ways to develop my son’s language skill and maths skills. My elder son is now at group 6 and he is doing very well at school. Tim has made a great contribution in my son’s development. We really appreciate his work.
Now my little one is also following the reading and exercising course with Tim. And Tim helps my elder one with homework. Both of my sons enjoy studying with Tim. We highly recommend Tim to expat families.”
Fannie Liang, mother of sons from group 6 and secondary school
“Tim has been with us for 4 years. Our son Ege who is group 5 now at school, benefited greatly from their time together regarding social skills, language and school material. Tim’s friendly yet structured approach worked very well for us. We feel constantly informed about the current status and what to expect next. He has been very proactive providing various materials and helping our son improve in the topics they are working on.
Overall, very happy that we have Tim helping out with our son on a weekly basis and look forward to many more years.“
Betül Gümüs, mother of son from group 8
“We’ve been so grateful for your support and always appreciate your friendliness and wisdom youput into it.“
