Merel needs a guide into teaching - monthly calls
A mentor in teaching could help Merel with a portfolio, interviews and first-job strategy.

I have worked as a taxi driver for 13 years, and I'm 29. After years of wanting more, I decided to move into teaching, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my resume and portfolio, a realistic view of the job market in North Holland, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
hope it all works out, Merel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
You're not alone, Merel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Quezon City.
Stay strong, Merel. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 19 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything
Thinking of you, Merel. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Wishing you peace, Merel. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
thinking of you, Merel. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Bogor so I could bring a meal. Take care
Good luck, Merel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Quezon City donated after I showed her your page. Love from Quezon City.
Hope it all works out. Small businesses are the heart of Haarlem. Hope you're open again soon. Thinking of Haarlem
So sorry you're going through this. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Houston
