Our staff

Hello, my name is Anahid Kirakosian. Within Student+, I focus on coaching and mentoring students, among other things. As a coach, I am warm, empathetic, energetic, goal-oriented and stimulating. My coaching is focused on removing barriers and getting the best out of the student. I like to think in terms of solutions. I also develop trainings and workshops around the theme of Personal Leadership. I know how good it feels when you can take control of your own life and I like to help the student to be able to do that again. Self-knowledge and motivation are converted into action and a clear plan of approach.

Presence: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (online) and Thursday.

My name is Ben, I am an empathetic and enthusiastic coach/trainer at Student+. From my profession I have a lot of passion for psychology and vitality. When helping students, I try to tailor the help to the person as much as possible, so it remains personal and effective. In my spare time I like to be outside or to do sports. But I also like to go inside to play games, watch series and read.

Hello, I am Floor van Hees, coordinator of Student+ in Tilburg. Besides coordinating, I also focus on individual and group coaching of students, and support teachers where needed in the field of coaching students and inclusive education. I think it is important that every student at Fontys ICT is seen from their application to their departure. Whether this is with or without a degree, I am happy to help you on your way to a suitable place. Because of my background as a job coach, I am also very motivated to get students in a suitable and sustainable workplace after graduation. Even during your studies I like the challenge of working with you to find an internship or graduation project that really suits you. I provide job application training, intervision and I have warm contacts with the field. You are not a number with me, we really do it together where you as a student are in charge.

Presence: Monday (online), Tuesday and Thursday.

My name is Hylke Verschuren. I work 5 days a week at student+. Within student+ I have different tasks. For example, you will find me during trainings in R10 and coaching sessions. I studied applied psychology. Students often get stuck on certain things within the study that have little or nothing to do with the content of the study. To be able to help and contribute to the development of students is wonderful. I am involved, empathetic and I like to work with you to find solutions! If you have any questions you can always send me a message, I would be happy to help!

Hi, I'm Lotte. Creating a place together where everyone feels welcome. That's what I'm aiming for. Discovering what every student needs, what support is available and how you as a student can take control of your own process is key. With the aim that you can develop optimally.

Hello, my name is Sander Bakx and I work at student+ as a language coach. I organize workshops to help with writing reports, giving presentations or having conversations. My focus is mainly on language, not so much on fear of presenting, for example (there are other experts for that at student+). So if you have a report whose structure is not clear or you have trouble formulating the right sentences, then you have come to the right place. 

I am usually very enthusiastic and I do not judge your mistakes. Language is very personal and is also close to one's personal feelings. I always try to take that into account. So don't be afraid to make mistakes and come and discuss them with me. Whenever possible I make small groups to offer workshops. If it is not possible we can also look individually to improve your language. Also come by the walk-in clinic on Mondays or Wednesdays! Or ask a quick question through Teams. 

In addition to this guidance, I also work on setting up pathways within FICT to improve the language of different groups of students, such as the large group of international students eager to learn Dutch.

Hello, my name is Naomi de Fijter. I work within the Student+ team as a language expert and Dutch as a Second Language (NT2) teacher. Throughout my workweek, I provide individual guidance to students in writing and structuring portfolios, project plans, and research documents, among other things. One of my most significant responsibilities at Fontys ICT is developing and teaching Dutch language courses to international students. I offer courses at A1 and A2 levels. I am incredibly enthusiastic about the work I get to do through Student+!

It probably won’t surprise you that I have a deep passion for everything related to language, culture, literature, and art. I see my work at Fontys ICT as an extension of my personal passions and educational background. I have an academic background in both Dutch and French language and literature and earned a bilingual master’s degree from the University of Amsterdam.

Would you like to improve your language skills? Do you need help with your documentation? Or are you an international student who wants to learn Dutch? Please feel free to contact me! I would be happy to assist you with all your language-related questions!
