Personal Description:
I am passionate about business, and eager to help students find their passion, either by providing additional content specific interactive sessions, or by helping to find a good study method/discipline (or both).
Tutoring Experience:
20 years of experience in teaching as a private tutor (12 years) and as a university college lecturer (8 years). I can teach:
economics, accounting, audit, marketing, statistics, mathematics, French, Dutch, finance, statistics, ICT, business studies,
Tutoring Approach:
Most tutoring is being delivered using remote sessions (Teams Skype, Zoom… ) and that has proven to work fine. My approach to tutoring is that I want to help students become more efficient and effective in learning how to study new material. This approach has proven results from the past, and implies I will give priority to students that purchase a package of 10-hours (5% discount) or 25-hours (10% discount). Best results have been obtained by doing 2 hour sessions at a time.
If you "just need a last minute review of your paper before submitting it", (ie you want me to make your paper in rush mode) I am probably not the best go to, however if you want to learn how to properly prepare (plan) for papers, then I can help you.
Hourly rate does not include travel fee when tutoring onsite at the student's home/office.
Sessions cancelled less than 24 hours in advance will be charged at 100%.

It is a pleasure helping your son
From Sofaia (/5): Rik was awesome to work with! I took accounting in my first year at Uni as an additional course with zero experience and struggled with it. He made accounting less complicated than it appeared to be to someone like myself. He taught the lecture content that I struggled with in a simple way which made it easier to understand. I went from having two D grades in my first few assessments to getting a B in the next! He was also flexible at times when I needed to postpone sessions, which is key for full time university students who also have responsibilities to their families. I encourage anyone looking for an accounting tutor to work with Rik.
Reply from: Rik: Thank you for your kind feedback

From Cushla (/5): My son Michael is 16 years old and is in year 12, Rik has been tutoring him in Economics for the past month. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Rik and I honestly can’t recommend him highly enough. Michael has developed a great working relationship with Rik and he really enjoys his teaching and company. Most importantly Michael has gained confidence in himself and he has started to really enjoy the subject. Rik is very organised with his lessons and reliable, he has never cancelled or let Michael down. I pay for Michael’s tutoring lessons in advance, buying a seven week package. Rik is very honest with his lessons and I can assure any potential parent that you will be getting great value for money.
Reply from: Rik: Thank you!
From Britney (/5): I found Rik to be a great tutor. He was very patient with me and explained things in a simple and easy to understand way. We focused on what needed to be done and he was great at staying on topic. Rik also had prepared the sessions well, so when it was time to start we could jump straight in and get the work done. Our tutoring sessions were done over zoom which was no worries at all and I found these to be just as beneficial as a face to face session would have been. I worked on data analysis and statistics with Rik and would highly recommend him to anyone needing a tutor in this area.
Reply from: Rik: Thanks Britney! Good luck with the research (career) ;-)
From Nadene (/5): Excellent teaching style. Would highly recommend. Thanks Rik.
From Katy (/5): Rik has been brilliant at helping my daughter with her level 2 economics. As she didn't take level 1 he has worked through economic principles and theories and she is now feeling much more confident. Don't hesitate to contact RIk.
