Mathematics/Computer Science for Enthusiastic Students at Any Level

During my high school education in Portugal, I found myself unchallenged and unmotivated by the math curriculum. Seven years later, as a mathematician at the beginning of my academic career, I think I'm an ideal tutor for students in a similar position—interested in math but not quite finding what they need at school. I'm also available to help more advanced students (from university or beyond) who need advice and direction on university-level topics. Additionally, I'm happy to help adults who need help restarting their mathematical education or filling in gaps in their understanding.

I'm interested in talking about anything mathematical, from linear inequalities to Hilbert's Nullstellensatz. I'm also familiar with computer science, both in theory and practice. I can easily take the reins and "lecture" on most topics but would prefer to steer towards whatever the student finds interesting. I strongly believe that learning math is an active, creative process.

About Me

Although I attended high school in Portugal and speak Portuguese fluently, I spent my earlier childhood in the United States. I studied at the University of Coimbra from 2016 to 2021, graduating with a degree in pure mathematics. My thesis was on geometric control theory, and I maintain an interest in differential geometry. After a short time working in industry as a computer engineer, I decided that I needed to follow my passion in mathematics and am currently looking to start a doctorate degree. As far as research, I'm broadly interested in stochastic processes, decision theory, and applied category theory.

Education

Master's in Pure Mathematics, University of Coimbra. 19/20 GPA. Received the exclusive ""Prémio Doutor Renato Pereira Coelho."
Received 2 research grants during undergrad.

Experience / Qualifications

Worked as a software engineer for 8 months after leaving university.
Am currently tutoring a gifted 6th-grade student from the US over weekly video lessons.

Mathematics Tutoring in English or Urdu particularly designed to meet your needs.
Mathematics in my opinion is an easy subject to learn as everything is logical and makes sense. Thats why it is important to learn Maths from a person who can help you build solid foundation in Maths and develop your knowledge in a systematic way. And I would be very glad to help you with that. I believe there is no one perfect method to learn/teach something. Everyone has different requirements. We can arrange a lesson to give you an idea about how we can meet your requirements.

Homework help & MATH lessons on COLLE / St PAUL & Surroundings - By PROFESSOR OF TRADE & PROFESSIONAL COACH
By PROFESSOR & PROFESSIONAL COACH Hello, First of all, I wanted to wish you an excellent return to school, as well as a peaceful year in order to achieve your goals, aware that the economic situation can prove to be delicate at certain times. This is why I propose to accompany your child through his school career with more ease and serenity. To date, it is different contexts that lead me to exercise my profession of Graduate Teacher & Graduate Professional Coach as well. Until last year, in front of a whole class as well as in Private Lessons. And since this year, in the face-to-face mode in Private Lessons at Home as well as in videoconference mode, moreover practiced for ten years with our Students at the University. Besides that, my teaching environment has changed greatly, especially since the appearance of Covid. This had the positive consequences of making our young secondary school students evolve in this brand new mode of learning and communication that is videoconferencing for them. What turned out to be a great success even if our less mature young people are still very demanding of attention and psycho-emotional connection in order to build their autonomy in peace. Over the past two decades, I have implemented proven methodological approaches. For some, borrowed from Theater, the Davis method (mind mappings/colors), Professional Coaching (my specialty) in order to boost your child's motivation ... My main goal is to develop a certain agility in your child, in all subjects. For now, as for his future, when I will no longer be present by his side ... In the end, working on a subject in order to gain points does not seem to me to be a sufficiently nurtured objective; convinced by the fact of exercising alongside the profession of Mental Coach with our young Athletes between Nice and Cannes, as well as in Europe (by videoconference), as part of their preparation for the French Tennis Championships ... Finally, Professor in General Education, mainly in scientific subjects, I suggest you support your child, to gain agility in the construction of his school career, in this period so unique but oh so rich in its opportunities and challenges. See you soon Corinne.
