Àpd 96 € /h

Make Mathematics your Second Language.

In high school and college I suffered from test anxiety.

But later I taught myself to get 99th percentile scores on the GMAT and SAT.

Now with more than 100 happy wizards trained in Amsterdam alone, since 2015.

No scams. Lots of patience. I came from the humanities. My math was hmm and meh in high school. Now a Wizard, with test scores to prove it.

Graduate of French Business School, I am currently financial controller in a large logistics group.

I have a lot of experience in math tutoring (+1000 hours dispensed). Upon request, I can justify this experience by providing the certificates issued by Acadomia.

I am very pedagogue, the goal is often to ensure that the student can return to the math class without the ball in the stomach.

I remain available for any additional request.

Yours,
Nicolas

Science is an incredible discipline, without limits, to the point where it is possible to get lost in it. This course therefore proposes to work on the bases and knowledge of Maths - Physics - Chemistry and to make the link with the use of these in the real world. Understanding where and how science is used is essential to be able to learn and move forward. Being an engineering student of Arts et Métiers, I worked with sciences since small and I always had a certain facility which allowed me very quickly to explain how to advance to other people.
This course also offers a rise in competence in the use of Excel which is essential for a lot of work in analysis and it is a real added value to know how to handle a minimum of Excel.

Chers parents,

J'ai été enseignante pour des élèves de 10 à 12 ans ces trois dernière années en Suisse romande. J'ai quitté mon poste pour suivre mon conjoint à Amsterdam et fais actuellement un master en ligne (avec OpenUniversity) afin de me spécialiser pour les enfants qui n'ont pas la chance d'avoir un environnement très propice aux apprentissages.

Je propose des cours de soutien/aide aux devoirs et peux m'adapter aux besoins de votre enfant. Etant moi même enseignante, je connais bien les attentes de l'école et pourrai aider votre enfant à s'améliorer et être fier de lui.
Ayant enseigné le FLE pour les élèves allophones qui arrivaient en Suisse, je peux également proposer des cours de français à vos enfants qui ne seraient par exemple pas scolarisé dans une école française mais qui voudraient apprendre le français.

Je suis persuadée que tous les enfants peuvent réussir, et je pratique une pédagogie positive. La base de la réussite vient de la confiance en soit et je saurai motiver vos enfants.

J'ai inscrit que je pouvais m'occuper des élèves de 4 à 17 ans mais souhaite faire du soutien pour les élèves de primaire et collège uniquement. J'ai mis cours de maths et de français, ce sont les cours où souvent, les enfants ont besoin d'appui et j'ai des ressources et du matériel s'il s'agit de soutient. Mais je peux évidemment travailler l'anglais, l'histoire, les sciences ... si votre enfant a besoin de reprendre ses cours.

J'espère pouvoir aider vos enfants aussi vite que possible et me réjouis de vous rencontrer.

Learning Italian is not just about learning a language, it’s understanding a world, a culture, a way of doing but most of all, we will make a travel thru literature, cinema, fine arts.

I have been teaching for 5 years, I have been working in a big library for children, I studied philosophy and I am truly passionated by languages and education.

I can offer a very straight lesson made of lexicon and grammars or a very joyful time with poetry and music.

After two years in the MPSI then PSI* preparatory class, I am now a student at the Centrale Lille engineering school. Basically, I've been doing a lot more math and physics than I've slept in the past few years.
I have been teaching at all levels for a little over 3 years! But this is the first time I've tried this platform, can't wait to meet you!
In order for the course to be as constructive as possible, I will base myself on your expectations, the chapters that cause you problems, by reworking the basics so as to navigate thereafter between the different themes of the program. My classes are aimed at all students from college to terminale but also to first and second year students in physics and maths.

En tant qu'enseignant passionné, j'adore partager mes connaissances avec mes élèves. Mon but est de fournir un enseignement de qualité, car je sais que certains sujets peuvent sembler un peu compliqués. Souvent, cela vient simplement d'une explication qui n'est pas assez claire. Avec moi, vous découvrirez un véritable intérêt pour la matière !

Nous allons travailler ensemble pour atteindre l'excellence académique, en surmontant les obstacles et les difficultés que votre enfant pourrait rencontrer. Les études deviendront une expérience agréable pour lui. En plus des cours, je peux aussi aider à l'orientation scolaire, en identifiant ses préférences et en soulignant les avantages d'une ambition éducative épanouissante.

Voici comment se déroulent généralement nos séances :

1️⃣ Lors des premières séances, nous évaluons le niveau de l'élève pour repérer les lacunes.

2️⃣ Ensuite, nous élaborons un plan personnalisé pour combler ces lacunes, en précisant le nombre d'heures nécessaires, les domaines à travailler, ainsi que des exercices d'entraînement adaptés.

3️⃣ Nous restons en contact régulier avec le professeur de l'élève pour être au courant des exigences actuelles et garantir une approche cohérente.

4️⃣ Je fournis également des examens similaires à ceux qui pourraient être posés en classe, afin de préparer l'élève de manière efficace.

5️⃣ Si besoin, je rédige un rapport régulier, généralement mensuel, pour tenir les parents informés des progrès de leur enfant tout au long de son parcours.

J'adapte ma méthode en fonction des besoins spécifiques de chaque élève, leur offrant ainsi une approche de travail sur mesure.

I always motivate my students to do their best and to speak in French during class. I always give homework to practice writing skills.
From B1 level we talk about news and culture, my lessons are always concrete and goal oriented. Repetition is also part of my lessons, so that students can learn new material with confidence.
Finally I also offer Delft exam training from A1 to B2 levels - a diploma that is required for many Hotel Schools and also to be able to work and study in French-speaking countries.
