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.

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

My name is Roy Houtkamp. I work with a lot of pleasure for Student+. I studied Applied Psychology. I fulfill various tasks within Student+. My most important task is doing the intakes with students. These are conversations in which I look, together with the student, at the help that best fits the needs of the student. I really enjoy making sure that everyone ends up in the right place so that they can develop properly.

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.
