Marijke De Bruin
Inclusive Education Specialist
With a B.Sc., B.Ed., M.Ed., and over 10 years of experience in inclusive education, Marijke is dedicated to helping individuals uncover their distinct cognitive profiles. She administers standardized Level B assessments that provide comprehensive, evidence-based data for medical professionals, schools, and families.
Her specialty lies in translating these complex clinical findings into practical, real-world strategies to intentionally construct effective learning environments. Because learning is deeply personal, her approach is collaborative and compassionate. As an autistic individual with ADHD, Marijke brings lived experience to her practice, allowing her to connect with clients authentically and ensure they feel truly empowered by their unique mind.
Our Approach
Structured, supportive processes tailored to exactly what you need.
For Assessments
Free Consultation
We start with a free, no-obligation conversation to listen to your concerns, understand exactly how we can help, and determine which assessments might be right for your unique situation.
Targeted Evaluation
Utilizing standardized Level-B assessments (formally recognized by schools, educators, and medical professionals), we conduct engaging one-on-one testing sessions to measure cognitive abilities, academic achievement, attention, and executive functioning.
Analysis & Reviewing Results
Scoring and analyzing data to construct an integrated learning profile and comprehensive support strategy.
For Tutoring
Free Get-to-Know-You
The first session is completely free. It's an opportunity to connect with the student, see where they are currently at in their courses, discover how they learn best, and build a collaborative plan together.
Customized Instruction
Subsequent sessions deliver one-on-one, targeted academic support tailored to the student's actual coursework, prioritizing both comprehension and the executive skills required to succeed independently.
Continual Adjustment
Because learning is fluid, our approach shifts as the student grows. We continuously evaluate comprehension and adapt our instructional strategies to ensure long-term retention and confidence.
