About Stichting WIJs Bijles

Stichting WIJs Bijles (WIJs Tutoring Foundation) is a non-profit organisation that offers tutoring in Amsterdam. The tutoring is for primary and secondary school pupils, in all subjects and at all levels.

Tutoring options

Both paid and free tutoring are available. In addition to subject-specific tutoring, WIJs offers broader support with planning, doing homework and learning how to learn.

• Tutoring in subjects such as Dutch, English and mathematics

Approach

The programme starts with an intake meeting. WIJs then finds a suitable tutor; a short report from each lesson is sent to the parents or guardians.
