Mathematics Private Lessons and Workshops for all levels, from middle school to postgraduate education.

Van 105.85 $ /h

I am a passionate teacher and I care for all my students. Learning mathematics is an emotional exercise. I always considered that being a good teacher is not only a mix of professional knowledge and skills, but also an ability to empathise and build relationships with the students. I do believe that the emotional and the affective dimensions of teaching are fundamental to being an effective teacher. When asked to complete the sentence “A good teacher should...”, a French pupil responded “listen to us, support us, teach us”.

In all my teaching experience, whether at sixth grade or at college and graduate levels, I have found that instead of getting frustrated with my students’ knowledge gaps and misconceptions, I could make my teaching more satisfying and more effective, by recognizing that all the students have learning potential and intellectual curiosity and by encouraging them to get a deeper understanding of the mathematical concepts.

The fluid nature of the Internet creates a learning environment that could be highly motivating for students raised within the digital era. I believe that, since the real purpose of education is to prepare and equip students for what happens beyond the classroom, the online collaborative learning communities can be also very efficient.

Over

My private practice is based on more than 25 years of teaching, tutoring, counselling, and research in Europe and Asia. I promote positive education in mathematics, encouraging students to use their strengths and to love mathematics. I have taught mathematics at all levels, from middle school (e.g., The French International School of Hong Kong) to high school (e.g., National Colleges in Romania) and to University level both undergraduate and postgraduate (e.g., City University of Hong Kong).

While teaching in multi-cultural environments, I aimed for a culturally sensitive pedagogy. In International Schools, students have different biographical or cultural background and consequently, individual ways of thinking and posing the various mathematics operations. When different approaches are explicitly confronted in mathematics private lessons, learners can relativize their personal views, widen their learning perspectives, and acquire deeper chances for real mathematics learning.

Education is not an island, but part of the continent of culture. Twelve years ago I noticed that my students had mathematical anxiety and thus, aiming to become a better teacher, I decided to study more about emotions, neurosciences and psychological counselling. Adding positive psychology methods to mathematics education have proved to be a success formula and my students had benefited: “We love mathematics because you let us express ourselves and we are not afraid to make mistakes”.

When students are given opportunities to ask their own questions and to formulate problems, they know mathematics is still alive, not something that has been already decided and just needs to be memorized. Posing and sharing with my students problem-based investigations, I see that they enjoy mathematics more and that they feel as the owners of their work.

It is with pleasure that I offer courses in all scientific fields until the last year of maturity (business school and general culture included). I move willingly in the inhabitant. We can also see each other in a cafe. I travel regularly between Geneva, Coppet and Zurich.

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects.

Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”
