Mathematics Tutoring for Elementary and High School students

Van 43.1 $ /h

Currently I am doing my Masters in Semiconductors and Microelectronics, and I have already obtained a MS in General Physics from Universite Paris-Saclay. During my high-school I was an Olympiad math competitor and I was regularly representing my country in international competitions. I studied at a specialized math school, and I am very used to giving lectures and math classes.

I have taught at an elementary school, and my approach to teaching is giving time to my students to work through problems, discussing with them how to tackle them, and generally instilling courage and confidence in their abilities. Too many times I have seen children which are good at thinking, but feel intimated by math, mainly due to the formal nature in which it is taught in high school. I try to break that by giving analogies when explaining concepts and supporting students while they solve problems, instead of showing them solutions and teaching them rote methods.

I love to work with both advanced students, to whom I give more advanced problems, challenging them but also guiding them, and with students who are struggling, because I believe they are indeed capable, but maybe missing confidence, or have been scared from the subject through experience.

I come from a family of teachers - my grandmother is a Math teacher (still working at the age of 77!), and my mother is an English teacher. Thus, one could say that teaching is part of my family. ;)

Before starting to work with a student, so the student can gauge if they would like to work with me as their teacher ;)

In my spare time, I like to read philosophy and discuss with my friends (currently going through Mediations on First Philosophy by Descartes). I am a big sci-fi fan and enjoy reading books suggested through the Hugo Awards. I am also trying to organize visits for high-school and university students to Semiconductor labs (currently working on a summer school at imec), through my involvement as a student ambassador at the European Chips Skills Academy.

I do calisthenics and Qi-Gong to stay grounded and connected to my body. Through my experience, I have observed that my mind works better when I am physically in shape.

Leservaring

I have given numerous lectures to my peers in high school (usually 2 hours long) in specific topics of Olympiad Mathematics. During my last year of my BSc (which coincided with Covid), I was back in my home country of Bulgaria, and I worked as a part-time elementary school teacher. I worked with students from different age groups, 180 in total, and my work week was 20 teaching hours.

- As for the lessons.
The lessons are about mathematics of secondary education. More specifically, I will assist in the theoretical processing of mathematics as its application (the exercises).
In addition, I will provide additional study material (aids, schedules, ...) if necessary.

- Way of handling.
I would like to have an overview in advance of the study material, the tests or tasks in which certain problems are visible, .... This way I can prepare the lessons in advance and focus on the problem. In addition, I can estimate / determine his / her level in this way.
I try, in a simple way and for the student in an understandable way, to explain the course in a different way so that this is clear to the student. Afterwards I like to enjoy the results.

- Why am I doing this?
Math is a passion of mine and for me there is nothing more fun than sharing my passion. Unfortunately, my love for mathematics is not part of my studies and that is why I like to do this as a hobby and as an extra income. Of course I work professionally.

- Experiences?
I love nothing more than tutoring my fellow students about the subject matter. This is appreciated by them.
Of course I also have experience in tutoring mathematics of both primary and secondary education.

- Who am I?
My name is Arina and I'm a law student. I'm 26 years old and live and rent a room in Leuven.

I'm very approachable, enthusiastic, and open. In my experience, this often helps strengthen my bond with the young person, making them feel comfortable around me. They feel comfortable asking any questions they have. They feel comfortable calling or texting me if they're stuck on an exercise. Even later, when I'm no longer tutoring them, they feel comfortable asking questions if they get stuck.

In secondary school itself, I had a less good experience in the first and second year of secondary school in the subject of mathematics.
I found it a very interesting subject, but I just couldn't grasp it. Throughout those years, I had the same teacher, who didn't teach me the material in a way that was right for me.

After receiving tutoring (forced by my parents), my interest in mathematics grew so much that I studied economics and mathematics for the next few years. My love for mathematics just won't go away...
Because I no longer received any mathematics lessons in my further education, I chose to fill this gap by giving private lessons myself.

I am a university researcher and instructor with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. I am able to provide one-on-one guidance for a range of topics in mathematics (algebra, geometry, calculus, discrete math, functions and modeling), natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology), and engineering (fluid dynamics, applied programming, signal analysis, optimization).

My typical teaching strategy follows three steps:
1) developing an understanding of the subject theory
2) introducing real-world applications of the theory
3) repeating exercises related fundamental concepts and applications

I am also able to help students prepare for a range of (pre) university exams.

Having conducted international-level experimental and theoretical scientific research for many years (PhD University of Cambridge, National Physical Laboratory, Max-Planck Institute, KUL, and UCL) I offer tailored and adaptive tutoring in mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

My main focus is in helping those pupils in their final two years of school who are preparing for university. I also specialize in preparing students for the Belgian medical entrance exam by actually solving the problems of all the past entrance exams and providing tips and insight for rapidly homing in on the correct answers.

My philosophy is that science and mathematics can be related to each person's everyday experience. I try to provide insight and solid foundations so that students will not have to rely heavily on blindly memorizing large sections of their courses.

Ik ben een doctoraatsstudent aan de KULeuven, rond het thema artificial intelligence en deep learning. Ik woon al drie jaar in Belgie en ik wil graag beter nederlands leren. Omdat ik merk dat ik meer nederlands wil spreken, wil ik graag gratis wiskundelessen aanbieden aan middelbare scholieren en studenten van de hogeschool, uiteraard in het nederlands.
Ik heb al 3 jaar ervaring met wiskunde bijles geven vroeger en ik begeleid voor mijn werk ook oefenzittingen aan de universiteit.
Ben je geïnteresseerd? stuur me gerust een pm!

Mathematics and science subjects can weigh heavily on your study career during secondary education. It is therefore important to perform well on this. This can be a challenge for many students, especially in the third grade. In my lesson I try to explain the subject matter to students based on their own course, my old course and extra exercises. The ultimate goal is that the students gain a better understanding of their course.

I studied Latin Sciences at the Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege in Brussels and I am currently in my 1st Master in Business Economics at the KUL.

Mathematics, science subjects, and languages can be challenging. I therefore offer my services to provide additional support to students in secondary school. Together with my students, I go over the course material, do sufficient exercises and discuss with them what the right study approach is. My goal is for them to master their learning material well and ultimately achieve a good end result.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions!

Mathematics and Physics tutoring for secondary and primary education (also at home). Master Commercial Engineer KUL with a Science-Mathematics-8 and Civil Engineering background.

ABOUT THIS LESSON:
I offer tutoring in Python programming and mathematics for university and college students. I also support secondary school and primary school students in all scientific subjects.

I start by (if available) using your old tests to determine together with you (and possibly your parents) what specific difficulties you have. In addition, we will have a short conversation in which you can explain to me which issues you have experienced as the most difficult and would like to focus more on.

My focus is on ensuring that the student is able to find the solution independently, step by step, and I help where necessary by providing mini-tips to get to the next step together. This makes my method much more personalized than standard classroom teaching. When I notice that a student has difficulty independently coming up with the correct editing steps, I create a concise step-by-step plan tailored to that specific subject so that the student begins to see more structure in the learning material. At the same time, I ensure that the underlying theory is thoroughly understood by linking it to self-invented exercises and practical examples from the student's personal environment, which makes learning easier and more lasting.

ABOUT NICK:
I am a 22-year-old master's student in Commercial Engineering at KU Leuven. I started tutoring my sister, nephews, nieces and friends and I get a lot of satisfaction from improving and helping others when they come to me for help.

Because I have been tutoring consistently for 4 years, I have the right resources to present learning material in an understandable way and to strengthen the motivation, concentration and independent study of my students. In addition, I have a lot of experience with children and didactic teaching techniques from my tennis initiator diploma. Ranging from first to sixth secondary school, from 2 hours to 6 hours of mathematics per week and everything in between, I have guided students of all directions and levels, with a successful outcome every time.

I don't give up until I'm sure a student understands the material well enough and I see them making progress. By always appearing enthusiastic, I ensure that together we do not let the drudgery of difficult subjects get any further than the school desks.

I am flexible in making appointments and am open to every student. This can be done at a fixed time every week or lesson by lesson. I provide tutoring at your home (I can travel by car), at my home (Kampenhout), in my student room (Leuven) or online.

If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss the practicalities in more depth. Together we can both make a schedule and work lesson by lesson to achieve your personal academic goals or those of your child.

For complex problems you need mathematics, statistics and computer skills to be able to manage it. Once you can describe a problem in terms of numbers then the solution will follow naturally. Get in touch and I will use real life problems to teach you mathematics, statistics and computer science in a very easy way. These subjects are only difficult if the teacher murders it.

I'm a third-year engineering student at KU Leuven with a strong background in mathematics and physics. I find it rewarding to explain complex topics simply and clearly, so students truly understand the formulas behind them. During class, the focus is on students completing exercises and gaining insight into the material, enabling them to continue to learn independently.

I've tutored several students of various levels and also have experience as a summer camp monitor. I look forward to helping you or your child achieve better results in math and physics.

Math is a difficult subject that usually builds upon previous years and gets harder. It’s important that kids grasp the basics well first. As a person who used to struggle, i would love to help and get kids comfortable with the basics of maths.
