About Me

Iwas born in São Paulo, Brasil, where Ilived until 2023. Istudied Chemical Processes in university and got a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP). During my PhD, I developed a research focused on renewable energy sources, more specifically, on the development of Water Electrolyzers, to produce green hydrogen from water. Besides, I have worked with 3D printing technologies, developing and designing low-cost devices for science and teaching applications. I amis passionate about science and teaching it, being able to make it accessible to everyone and show how it is part of every detail of our life.

During classes, I love to make science nicer and more interesting by showing its real applications in life, linked to my personal experience and expertise, aiming to connect the students with scientific matters. Besides teaching, I love cooking, and I'm always looking to learn new recipes and techniques.

Hello 😊

Engineer (BAC + 5) in Process Engineering (Physics-Chemistry), I propose today to give you tutoring lessons in maths-physics and chemistry for college, high school and post BAC up to L3 (or special maths). for the prepas) with help in preparing for competitive examinations (Grandes Ecoles or agro/veto).

Since high school, I like to pass on my passion for science to students. Over the past 10 years, I have been able to discover a good number of profiles that I have been able to accompany (for some for 3 years) up to patents, BAC and competitions.

My teaching method is based on several pillars:

- transmit a methodology, because very often it is not a problem of understanding the course that blocks the student but a lack of methodology in the approach to the exercises,

- listening to the student, adapting to his profile, his way of integrating and working, understanding the sciences,

- show popular science or present exercises using examples from everyday life, in order to deconstruct the negative image of science that many students have. In short, show them that science is easy and that we rub shoulders with it everywhere around us at all times :)

- repetition and practice, the main structure of my course: repetition of the previous course to ensure that the concepts have been well integrated, present the course of the session and the formulas and principles to remember (it is at the beginning course that the student's memory and attention are the best), then practice for 2/3 to 3/4 of the course, and finally recap and lesson note cards.

I hope to be able to pass on my passion for science to you soon :)

Physics and chemistry are the gateway to understanding all sciences, as a science student you will need to be able to sort through the many complex features to become a true student scientist with a critical and curious mind. That's why I designed this course to help students prepare for their exams and the next school year to fill in the gaps they have in math and science.
I would like to inform you that I am a young researcher and I can also help you to acquire basic knowledge of Microsoft Office and other essential software for your career.

I'd like to start by greeting everyone who is reading this and then briefly discuss the teachings I'm providing. Going to medical school is a major step, and while becoming a doctor may have been a big dream of yours, things unfortunately didn't turn out the way you had hoped. You didn't receive what you eagerly want following your bac. I'm here to tell you that earning your bac is just the first step on a longer journey. You have another opportunity to fulfill your lifelong ambitions. What role do I play in this? as someone who has been in your position and ultimately obtained what I want. We will have a customized plan that fulfills your needs, we will correct any unsuccessful methods and build new ones, and I will lead you through the program at every stage.

As a dedicated tutor with extensive experience in preparing students for standardized exams such as the SAT, GMAT, and SSAT, I understand the unique challenges that each of these tests presents. My approach is comprehensive and focuses on building a strong foundation in critical areas such as Mathematics, Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Skills, and Analytical Writing. Each program I develop is tailored to the specific requirements of the exam, ensuring that students are well-prepared and confident on test day.

Having a deep understanding of the test formats and question types allows me to provide personalized strategies that target each student's individual strengths and weaknesses. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and my goal is to enhance their test-taking skills while improving their time management. By fostering a supportive learning environment, I aim to boost students' confidence and empower them to achieve top scores.

My tutoring sessions incorporate a variety of effective methods, including real exam questions and timed practice tests. This hands-on approach allows students to familiarize themselves with the types of questions they will encounter, making the actual exam feel less daunting. I teach proven techniques for tackling even the most challenging problems, ensuring that students feel equipped to handle any question that comes their way.

One of the key components of my tutoring is helping students develop effective study habits. I provide guidance on creating a structured study plan that maximizes their preparation time and aligns with their personal goals. This structured approach not only keeps students on track but also helps them build a sense of accountability, which is crucial for success.

In addition to academic preparation, I also focus on the psychological aspects of test-taking. Many students experience anxiety leading up to exams, which can affect their performance. I teach relaxation techniques and mental strategies to help manage stress, allowing students to approach their exams with a calm and focused mindset. By addressing both the academic and emotional challenges of test preparation, I equip students with a well-rounded toolkit for success.

Feedback is an essential part of the learning process, and I make it a priority to provide constructive and actionable insights during our sessions. After each practice test, I conduct a thorough review of the results, highlighting areas for improvement while also acknowledging progress. This continuous feedback loop helps students understand their growth and keeps them motivated throughout their preparation.

My commitment to student success goes beyond just teaching content. I aim to inspire a love for learning and self-improvement in each of my students. Many of my former students have gone on to achieve their academic goals, securing places at prestigious universities and programs. Their success stories are a testament to the effectiveness of my tailored approach and the dedication I bring to each tutoring session.

If you're looking to master the SAT, GMAT, or SSAT with confidence, I invite you to book a session now. Together, we will develop a customized learning plan that suits your individual needs, ensuring that you are not only prepared to face the test but also equipped to excel and reach your highest potential. With my guidance and your commitment, we can achieve outstanding results. Let’s embark on this journey to success together!

I offer clear, structured tutoring in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics, supporting students with both content mastery and exam success at Advanced Subsidiary and Advanced Level (AS and A-Level), for both Edexcel and Cambridge. My lessons focus on clear explanations and the core ideas behind each topic, so things actually make sense.

For exam preparation, I shift focus to exam technique: you'll learn how mark schemes work, how answers are graded, and how to phrase responses clearly so you don’t lose marks because of wording, even when you know the content.
