Science project / career guidance for motivated elementary & high school students

From 15.81 $ /h

Are you making decisions about your further career and are you thinking of becoming a scientist? Do you want to know how academia works and whether it would be a good fit for you? Or do you just want to work on science projects for fun and attend science competitions? Have you possibly already prepared a science project, but you wonder what to do with it and how to present your work in form of posters or research papers at science events?

If you are a motivated student, I am willing to provide consultations and advice in these areas. I have attended many various science competitions and olympiads during my high school, I have studied science & technology at the university level (Aerospace Engineering) and now I am doing a Ph.D. in mathematics.

Extra information

It is preferable if you send me a motivation letter why you are interested in these lessons and what your particular goals are.

I am currently a graduate student studying Educational Science. Before moving to Belgium I was the head of the science department at an international school in Shanghai, China. I have taught AP, MYP, and DP chemistry. I also have experience tutoring AP, MYP, DP, and IGCSE chemistry. I have taught students from over 20 different nationalities with various science backgrounds. Chemistry is a beautiful and universal language! My course will be tailored to the needs of the student, I will provide additional resources and progress reports as needed.

I am a university researcher and instructor with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. I am able to provide one-on-one guidance for a range of topics in mathematics (algebra, geometry, calculus, discrete math, functions and modeling), natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology), and engineering (fluid dynamics, applied programming, signal analysis, optimization).

My typical teaching strategy follows three steps:
1) developing an understanding of the subject theory
2) introducing real-world applications of the theory
3) repeating exercises related fundamental concepts and applications

I am also able to help students prepare for a range of (pre) university exams.

I myself studied Economics Mathematics for 6 hours in secondary school and I am now studying Commercial Engineering at the KULeuven.
My Mathematics and Physics are excellent. I passed both.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions!

Welcome to my tutoring classes, where learning knows no boundaries and knowledge is nurtured with passion and care! I offer tutoring in English, French, Dutch, Mathematics, and Sciences, delivered by me an accomplished tutor with a strong academic background in engineering and a love for music.

My teaching philosophy revolves around a step-by-step approach, ensuring every concept is thoroughly understood before progressing. I encourage critical thinking and creativity, empowering students to trust their abilities and develop independent thought.

My personal success story exemplifies my belief that everyone can excel with the right mindset and determination. Literally anyone. From struggling with math to becoming the top student in my class, my experience proves that ambitious goals and effective study strategies yield remarkable results.

During my tutoring classes, I create a nurturing and supportive environment, tailoring my teaching methods to meet each student's needs. Our commitment goes beyond improving academic performance; I aim to instill a lifelong love for learning and self-improvement.

Join on this enriching learning journey, where ambition and dedication merge to achieve great heights. Whether you're a young student eager to grasp new concepts or a teenager aiming for academic excellence, we're here to guide and support you every step of the way. Unleash your potential and make learning a fulfilling experience with our tutoring business!

I studied Latin Sciences at the Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege in Brussels and I am currently in my 1st Master in Business Economics at the KUL.

Mathematics, science subjects, and languages can be challenging. I therefore offer my services to provide additional support to students in secondary school. Together with my students, I go over the course material, do sufficient exercises and discuss with them what the right study approach is. My goal is for them to master their learning material well and ultimately achieve a good end result.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions!

Mathematics and Physics tutoring for secondary and primary education (also at home). Master Commercial Engineer KUL with a Science-Mathematics-8 and Civil Engineering background.

ABOUT THIS LESSON:
I offer tutoring in Python programming and mathematics for university and college students. I also support secondary school and primary school students in all scientific subjects.

I start by (if available) using your old tests to determine together with you (and possibly your parents) what specific difficulties you have. In addition, we will have a short conversation in which you can explain to me which issues you have experienced as the most difficult and would like to focus more on.

My focus is on ensuring that the student is able to find the solution independently, step by step, and I help where necessary by providing mini-tips to get to the next step together. This makes my method much more personalized than standard classroom teaching. When I notice that a student has difficulty independently coming up with the correct editing steps, I create a concise step-by-step plan tailored to that specific subject so that the student begins to see more structure in the learning material. At the same time, I ensure that the underlying theory is thoroughly understood by linking it to self-invented exercises and practical examples from the student's personal environment, which makes learning easier and more lasting.

ABOUT NICK:
I am a 22-year-old master's student in Commercial Engineering at KU Leuven. I started tutoring my sister, nephews, nieces and friends and I get a lot of satisfaction from improving and helping others when they come to me for help.

Because I have been tutoring consistently for 4 years, I have the right resources to present learning material in an understandable way and to strengthen the motivation, concentration and independent study of my students. In addition, I have a lot of experience with children and didactic teaching techniques from my tennis initiator diploma. Ranging from first to sixth secondary school, from 2 hours to 6 hours of mathematics per week and everything in between, I have guided students of all directions and levels, with a successful outcome every time.

I don't give up until I'm sure a student understands the material well enough and I see them making progress. By always appearing enthusiastic, I ensure that together we do not let the drudgery of difficult subjects get any further than the school desks.

I am flexible in making appointments and am open to every student. This can be done at a fixed time every week or lesson by lesson. I provide tutoring at your home (I can travel by car), at my home (Kampenhout), in my student room (Leuven) or online.

If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss the practicalities in more depth. Together we can both make a schedule and work lesson by lesson to achieve your personal academic goals or those of your child.

I believe that knowledge is built from basics and deep understanding of concepts with practicality.
Any concept learnt with practical application is more important than theoretical knowledge and worth in the long term. With this in mind you can expect me to deliver information in a simple and effective manner for better understanding.

I specialize in teaching chemistry, biology for school as well as preparation for IB, SAT, GCSE and GMAT exams. I believe each student is unique and my role as a teacher is to provide the student-specific environment for each learner to attain full potential. I employ a combination of guided instruction and problem-based teaching methods to help students understand otherwise abstract concepts. I assign homework after each class and provide feedback on class assignments.
