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

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.

من أنا؟

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.
