Why Focus Bijlesinstituut
More attention, for less money
Seven things we do differently from most tutoring agencies.
Tutoring at a lower price
We work efficiently and keep our costs low. You see that in your hourly rate.
from €30 / hour private
Tutoring institutes often charge €35 to €50 per hour.
Calculate your priceLots of attention
More explanation and guided practice during the lesson. Independent work only happens if the parent or student wants it.
Tailored lessons
You choose: a guidance lesson with more explanation, or a practice lesson with more application of the theory.
Targeted homework
After the lesson, only practice material that matches how the lesson went. No piles of work, just exactly what is needed.
Tutors who understand you
Our tutors are often only a few years older than the student and know how school works today. You keep the same regular tutor.
Helpline with private lessons
Stuck after the lesson? Ask up to 4 questions via WhatsApp or email, at no extra cost.

Frequently asked questions
Good to know
About paying, cancelling, homework and how you stay informed as a parent.
All questionsDoes my child get a different tutor every week?
No. We work with regular tutors, unless parents or the student ask for a change. This builds trust and lets the tutor follow progress closely.
What if my child is ill?
Cancel the lesson at least 24 hours in advance. Then you pay nothing or we schedule a make-up lesson in consultation. Unfortunately, we do charge for later cancellations.
How can I pay?
Via iDEAL, Wero or Tikkie. Cash payment is only possible for private lessons.
What does my child need for an online lesson?
A laptop, tablet or phone you can video call with via Google Meet or Microsoft Teams. You receive the link well before the lesson via email or WhatsApp.
