Teacher Story Isabella

The approachability and commitment of colleagues towards each other, but also towards students, create an amazing atmosphere at HAS. Even though I work for different courses at the same time, me and my colleagues know how to find each other quickly. Just walking up or down a floor to coordinate something is no problem. Students also regularly walk into the staff room to ask questions.

The enormous amount of knowledge and expertise among colleagues and the projects we run in close cooperation with the business sector make the HAS an environment in which you continue to learn, even as a lecturer. Essential for lifelong development!

The diversity in my work is what I love most about my job! The combination of coaching and guiding students, imparting in-depth knowledge, teaching different skills, creating a safe learning environment and my work in the education committee make working at HAS never boring. Because I have to deal with students from all different years and also different courses, I have to adjust my guidance and teaching strategy accordingly every time. A challenge, but it makes my day very diverse.

What I enjoy greatly within my work is seeing the development students go through. This can be in the relatively short term, such as during a graduation assignment, but also over the entire HAS period of coaching students. As a teacher, you are supportive in the learning process, but ultimately it is the student who has to do it. I can therefore be enormously proud of what students manage to achieve within HAS.

Dare to depart from the path you initially set out on if it later turns out that it does not suit you after all. During your studies, you will learn a lot about yourself and you may come to new insights. Aiming for what you really like is something that will benefit you for the rest of your life.
