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 hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and currently work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Aerospace Engineering Faculty at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology).
Key topics that I teach for this course include:
• Calculus: Differentiation & integration, Multivariable calculus
• Linear Algebra: Matrices, vectors, systems of equations, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
• Differential Equations: First- and second-order ODEs, Laplace transforms
• Complex Numbers: Polar form, Euler’s formula
• Vector Calculus: Gradient, divergence, curl, Line and surface integrals
• Series & Transforms: Taylor series, Fourier series

I understand that not all teachers excel in teaching Engineering and Mathematics courses and explaining their importance to students. Courses with strong mathematical backgrounds may become boring for students who lack a solid mathematical basis. To address this, I take a student-centered approach, starting from the basics to actively engage all students, including those with weaker mathematical backgrounds. I also provide practical examples to demonstrate the real-world significance of what they are learning, inspiring and fostering their interest in the subject matter.

If you have any additional questions before starting a class, please feel free to ask me. I am here to assist! :)

I teach mathematics to students ranging from 1st grade all the way up to A-level high school math.

I genuinely believe that anyone can learn math at a high level, and so far I haven’t encountered a student I couldn’t help improve. In my experience, success in math is often about identifying the specific topics or fundamentals a student may have missed or forgotten — and that’s exactly what I specialize in.

Whether you feel like you’re falling behind in class and want to get ahead early, or your exam is right around the corner and you need focused help strengthening your weak points, I’d be happy to help.

Chemistry is the study of matter and how it changes, starting from the simplest idea that everything around us—air, water, metals, and even living things—is made of tiny particles called atoms. In middle school, students learn the basics like solids, liquids, and gases, how substances mix or change, and the idea that atoms form elements and compounds. In high school, chemistry becomes more detailed and powerful, covering atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, reactions, and calculations like the mole concept that allow you to predict how much of a substance is involved in a reaction. Students also learn about acids and bases, gases, energy changes, and how chemistry applies to real life in things like batteries, medicines, cooking, and materials. Overall, chemistry is about understanding the hidden rules that explain how everything in the physical world is built and how it transforms.

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!
