I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

I’m a Mechanical Engineering student studying in the United States with strong experience in algebra and problem-solving. I help students understand concepts clearly instead of memorizing formulas. My lessons are structured, patient, and adapted to each student’s level. Online lessons available with flexible scheduling.

Math is very much so like a pyramid, if your base is weak, your whole structure will be weak. The purpose of the course is to make sure the base is strong so that later in life you don't struggle with other required math courses. Especially if you hope to have a successful career. Almost all careers you can think of require some level of math, and that's why this course is designed to make sure you understand the fundemental concepts of algebra that you will need in your future.

Exams are fast approaching, and the final stretch is crucial for making a difference. Faced with the stress of revision, targeted and intensive support can transform doubts into valuable points on exam day.

I offer intensive coaching and revision sessions in mathematics, specifically designed for candidates for the Brevet and Baccalaureate exams. The objective is clear: to optimize the remaining time to master the key topics and approach the exam with maximum confidence.

On the agenda for this final sprint:

Targeting the essentials: Flash review of chapters with a high probability of appearing (functions, probabilities, sequences, geometry, etc.) and consolidation of essential basics.

Past papers & sample questions: A complete breakdown of past exam questions to understand the exact expectations of the examiners.

Rigorous writing: Learn to structure a demonstration and to perfect your writing in order to cover all the methodological points.

Exam strategy: Time management (how to allocate your 2 or 4 hours of exam), overcoming a difficult question and stress management.

No long, unnecessary theoretical discussions: we'll get straight to the point with a pragmatic and intensive approach. There's still time to boost your grades and aim for honors!

Life Sciences are intertwined with each other- Biology and Chemistry to Physics and Maths. A strong comprehension of atomic principles will allow students to see links between taught disciplines and support their successes not only in Chemistry, but in all related subjects!

One of my principles is integrating taught metrical into the skill of writing exams and approaching in-class assessments! We will go step-by-step through the annual curriculum and identify areas of knowledge based on the amount of attention we would need to dedicate to them.
