Work experience
tennis coach certification
Part-time • 7 yrs 2 mos
Administrative Assistant Mets Tennisschool
Dec 2023 - Jul 2026 • 2 yrs 7 mos
Alongside coaching, I supported the tennis school with its day-to-day administration. I formed the lesson groups by matching players on level, age, and availability, and built and maintained the lesson schedules, adjusting them when players or coaches changed. I also prepared and sent invoices to students and parents, kept track of what was due, and answered questions about lessons and payments. Working in a busy school with many different clients taught me to stay organised, to keep accurate records, and to communicate clearly and politely.
Tennis coach
Dec 2021 - Jul 2026 • 4 yrs 7 mos
At Mets Tennisschool in The Hague, The Netherlands, I taught tennis to children of all ages and to adults, in both private and group lessons. Also handled the scheduling and organised the lesson groups, balancing player levels, ages, and availability. The role built strong communication, planning, and time-management skills, along with the patience to work with very different people.
Support Worker / Personal Companion
Self Employed • Self-employed
Dec 2019 - Jul 2026 • 6 yrs 7 mos
For over six years, I have supported a young person with autism and an intellectual disability, from childhood into adulthood. I spend regular time with her, take care of her daily needs, and plan activities that suit her. The role required a lot of patience, clear and calm communication, and the ability to adapt quickly when plans or moods changed. I learned to stay reliable and organised, to notice small details, and to build trust over a long period. These skills carry over directly to client work: I stay calm under pressure, follow instructions carefully, and communicate in a clear and respectful way.
