From an early age I had a hunger for entrepreneurship. When I became co-owner of De Bijlesmeester in 2011 I developed myself further in this. Something that started as a small tutoring company where I gave tutoring lessons myself to Lobke, Siraj and Sid, has grown into an international company where we can help more and more students with our mission: creating happiness-oriented education. We believe in education and products that connect to a student's personal development. We now offer our tutoring services in 3 countries by having grown a network of more than 15.000 “Bijlesmeesters”, develop and publish practice materials for primary and secondary schools in 12 countries, have our own online learning tool (“De Online Leerwereld”), create tutorial videos for elementary school subjects such as math and Dutch grammar, and collaborate with schools to help students achieve their goals. We have experienced organic growth based on a demand for help from the field of education. Because of the roots of the co-owner of De Bijlesmeester, who is also my friend, we are also active in Togo. We provide (school) materials, internet, housing and equipment like computers. In this way we offer them the tools they need to be able to develop themselves further. Everyone should be able to enjoy education and personal growth!I believe that entrepreneurs can help each other with their experience and knowledge to achieve shared opportunities together. That's why I encourage engaging with each other to see what we can do for each other. I am open to collaborations on both a national and international level. Therefore, do not hesitate to contact me, perhaps together we can rise to great heights!
