via, short for 'Vereniging Informatiewetenschappen Amsterdam' (Dutch), is the study association for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Information Science at the University of Amsterdam.
Do you enjoy explaining difficult concepts in a simple way? Do you like helping your fellow students with their challenging subjects? Then the tutoring programme from via might be just the thing for you!
Via offers you the opportunity to give paid tutoring lessons. The system automatically matches you with a student who needs tutoring for a specific subject. You then agree on an hourly rate, which is usually around €15 per hour.
