When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

👉Click the blue "Contact Oliver" button above and let's discuss how we can unlock your child's mathematical talents! 😊

You find math difficult that the teacher goes too fast or you don't have time to ask questions. My course, the result of 10+ years of experience in various support and training, is made for you.
We will take up together the exercises and concepts on which you are currently working in class. A question crosses your mind, ask it. You feel like this is a stupid question, ask it, it doesn't exist. We will also look together at the errors made during the last tests in class and if necessary we will re-explain the associated concepts.

A class where there are no bad maths students just students who need a little more time than others.

See you soon, I hope.

Kindly

✏ I support students from A to Z in all stages of their learning, using a simple, new generation and effective methodology: explanation of lessons, summary of lessons, application and deepening exercises, etc.

✏ I also prepare students for exams and competitions.

✏ I also support students with their homework (homework help).

✏ All my students have made extraordinary progress and achieved their goals, with grades of 16, 17, 18 or 19 out of 20.

Sessions usually take place as follows:

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly intended to assess the level of the student in order to determine the shortcomings noted.

2️⃣ Then we make a plan to fill those gaps: number of hours of work required, parts of the lessons to focus on, lots of training and development exercises, etc.

3️⃣ We make sure to stay up to date with the student's class teacher to track their progress and align our work with what is being taught in class.

4️⃣ Then I provide exams similar to what may be offered in class.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a monthly report to keep parents informed of their child's level throughout the course.

I also adapt my methodology according to the needs of each student, which means that everyone has a personalized working method adapted to their needs!

I also offer crash courses for those preparing for the start of the school year, so that they start the year well prepared 💪 and with a head start on the program.🧠
