Who are you and what do you do in daily life?

I am Noah, 22 years old, living in Maastricht and working in the hospitality industry. I want to make a start in the financial sector for which I am taking several courses.

Why did you seek help? What was your goal of counseling at Studied?

I was looking for effective methods for studying and how best to apply them.

What was the approach to your counseling? Did it help you achieve your goal?

At the first meeting, the methods were discussed and how I could best apply them. Every two weeks, my tutor and I went over the methods again to see what worked for me and what didn't. If necessary, I was given some extra tips.

In what ways did you experience counseling as personal?

It was a nice, loose atmosphere where there was also room to just chat!

What lesson or event has stayed with you most from the counseling?

The effect of the Pomodoro method continues to fascinate me! I now apply it to every moment of study.

How important is the click with your tutoring teacher to you?

I believe that if the atmosphere is loose, you will absorb the theory better. A click with your tutor is certainly important!

Do you find your supervision compatible with other pursuits?

Scheduling always went smoothly and scheduling an hour later or later was never a problem. This made it easy to combine with work and study.

What are your plans for after your counseling with Studied (school year, study, work, other)?

As of September, I have completed WFT Vermogen and am starting Business Economics and after this, several more studies will follow. I aspire to a career as a stockbroker, asset manager and/or investment advisor.

What will you take away from your guidance at Studied in the remainder of your career?

That not only applying the right methods but also making a realistic schedule is important to achieve certain goals. Checking off is more manageable than studying unexpectedly and hoping to finish everything.

Would you recommend Studied and why?

Their plan of approach is customized, personal and realistic. The contact between me and my tutoring teacher was nice and there was also the occasional laugh! I felt like I left every time with enough tools. I definitely recommend Studied!
