AssistentStudent

What AssistentStudent does

AssistentStudent BV is a Dutch private company founded in 2021 and headquartered in Haarlem, providing staffing and educational support services to schools and childcare organizations in the Netherlands. Its core business is the placement of VOG-verified replacement personnel — including gym teachers (gymdocenten), pedagogical workers (pedagogisch medewerkers), and teaching assistants (onderwijsassistenten) — for short-term and long-term absences, alongside targeted classroom support such as 1-on-1 guidance, shadow supervision, small-group instruction, and playground oversight. The company also recruits part-time student workers from education and childcare-related programs, with a public job portal at jobs.assistentstudent.nl. Its secondary product line is the proprietary 'Bewegend Leren' (Active Learning) online module, an active-learning curriculum offering more than 100 movement activities integrated with academic content, co-developed with three physical education teachers. The module is sold as a €200/year self-serve subscription, with a full-service tier priced on request in which AssistentStudent supplies its own gym teachers to deliver the program. Revenue is generated through professional-services placement fees and recurring subscription licensing. Operations are concentrated in Noord-Holland, with announced plans to expand nationally and partnerships in place with Andersom Amsterdam and Andersom Den Haag. The company is founder-controlled by co-founders Youp Timmermans and Thijmen Tas and is bootstrapped, with no disclosed institutional funding.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Tempo-Team: Major Dutch staffing brand under Adecco with education and childcare placement offerings. Targets the same school and kinderopvang buyers as AssistentStudent but at much larger scale and through generalist rather than PE-curriculum-driven services.
• Randstad: Largest Dutch staffing firm with established substitute-teacher and education/childcare placement lines serving schools nationwide. Overlaps with AssistentStudent on substitute personnel and broader school support, but operates as a broad generalist rather than a PE/active-learning specialist.

Direct peers

• Maandag: Dutch interim-staffing brand with a dedicated education and childcare vertical placing substitute and support staff into schools and kinderopvang. Closest peer to AssistentStudent's replacement-personnel core offering, competing for the same institutional buyers.
• Lyceo: Dutch provider of tutoring, homework support and educational services sold to schools. Directly comparable to AssistentStudent in selling supplementary education services into Dutch primary and secondary schools, including after-school supervision.

Regional players

• Matchpartner: Dutch recruitment firm specialising in education, childcare and social-sector placements. Competes with AssistentStudent for substitute teacher and pedagogical staff contracts in specific Dutch regions rather than nationally.
• Lionarons: Dutch staffing and recruitment firm active in education, childcare and social services. Comparable to AssistentStudent on the substitute and support-personnel side, primarily serving regional Dutch school and childcare buyers.

Emerging players

• Studytube: Dutch B2B learning and development platform selling digital learning content and tools to schools and employers. Comparable to AssistentStudent's Bewegend Leren online module on the recurring-revenue, curriculum-content side of the business.
• TopTaal: Dutch provider of language and homework support services delivered in schools and after-school care settings. Comparable to AssistentStudent's on-site school support and BSO/TSO offerings within the same Dutch primary/secondary buyer base.
