    Advanced Tutoring in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics

    Having conducted international-level experimental and theoretical scientific research for many years (PhD University of Cambridge, National Physical Laboratory, Max-Planck Institute, KUL, and UCL) I offer tailored and adaptive tutoring in mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

    My main focus is in helping those pupils in their final two years of school who are preparing for university. I also specialize in preparing students for the Belgian medical entrance exam by actually solving the problems of all the past entrance exams and providing tips and insight for rapidly homing in on the correct answers.

    My philosophy is that science and mathematics can be related to each person's everyday experience. I try to provide insight and solid foundations so that students will not have to rely heavily on blindly memorizing large sections of their courses.

    About Me

    I'm passionately curious about the world and how it works; I can find interest in just about any subject. My current academic pursuits are in the areas of the philosophy of ideas, zeroth-order logic, molecular genetics, and computer programming; including artificial intelligence.
    Besides academic interests, I enjoy sports of all kinds. I currently play ice hockey in the Belgian national league. I'm also a keen photographer. I only use film and I develop and print my images purely by the 'traditional' method of using a cocktail of chemicals in a darkroom.

    Math, physics, and test prep in English and Spanish.
    I specialize in finding and teaching the students the basic concepts that are not well understood. In my experience, I realize that once we find and solve those deficits, the student learning rate increases greatly. My method is to use tailored exercises for the particular situation of the students, challenging them in a positive and realistic way. I have good knowledge about international baccalaureate programs as well as university entry level exams.

    Private lessons in maths and physics. Secondary and university level.
    University professor for 18 years and doctor of applied sciences, I also give private lessons to higher education students and secondary school students. I adapt to the request and level of each student. I can follow the school/university program or push beyond. I favor classical education: 1) understanding of the subject and its importance in the field of study or in everyday life 2) illustration by examples 3) exercises allowing to assimilate well and finally to master the subject I attach great importance to understanding and logical reasoning. I progress with the student by also having him work outside contact hours if he wishes.

    Private lessons in Maths, Physics, Chemistry (in Brussels) - Great experience.
    Hello, A bioengineer by training, I teach mathematics, physics and chemistry in two schools in the Brussels region (upper secondary). I also taught chemistry in exercise sessions at the Free University of Brussels as an assistant (Faculty of Sciences and Solvay Brussels School). Passionate about science and mathematics, it is with pleasure that I give private lessons (maths, physics, chemistry) at home for catching up, strengthening, surpassing or even to prepare for a central jury. Level: primary, lower secondary and upper secondary. My strengths: pedagogy, kindness, search for results and extensive experience in different French-speaking public education schools. My goal: to help my students progress with the aim of seeing them gain (or even regain) self-confidence. I live 3 minutes walk from Beaulieu metro, in Auderghem. Interested ?

    English and Math for Prep Tests (TOEFL/GRE), Academic English, Portuguese (native speaker)
    I offer classes for two different groups: - Young adults preparing for TOEFL/GRE with sessions focused in solving exercises from the exams and improving the student's skills - Academic English for researchers and people in academia, where we focus on methods, format and language of academic texts. Sessions could be focused on review the student paper A little about myself. I am Ph.D. student in Electronic Engineering at Imec, Leuven. I lived in the USA twice, as an exchange Student at MIT for a year and as a J1 worker at McDonald's for 3 months. I have scored 103 and 112 in the two times I did the TOEFL exam, and I scored at the 99% math percentile in my GRE score. I was born in Brazil, thus Portuguese native speaker, and I have lived in Leuven for two years, so we can communicate in basic Dutch.

    Gauthier
    Mathematics, French, Dutch, Scientific subjects, Economics and guidance during studies
    I studied Latin Sciences at Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege in Brussels and I am currently in my 3rd bachelor's degree in Applied Economics (TEW) 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!

    Maths, physics and other numbers or calculations - by a civil engineer - been there!
    Maths, physics and other sciences - all too often - instill fear. Why ? We are asked to learn quickly, to go straight into the details, and above all, we do not know why we are learning this or that. Math is like drawing. Physics is like observing. And often, success is simply letting yourself breathe. During my lessons, we will start from what you already understand. And it's never negligible :)

    Maria
    Mathematics Tutoring for Elementary and Highschool Students/ Help with Homework
    I am a Mathematician with a specialization in Mathematics Education and I provide private tutoring in Mathematics for students in Primary and Secondary Education. I have graduated from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece and I am currently a Master's student in Educational Studies at KU Leuven. My goal is to adapt the teaching of Mathematics to the individual needs of the student. Every child thinks, creates, and learns differently and this is something I encourage my students to discover. I build students' self-confidence by encouraging them to take initiative and not be afraid to dare even if they are wrong. In this way, they gain confidence and stop seeing Mathematics as something unattainable.

    Mustapha
    Private course in chemistry and biology For college, high school and higher education students.
    Chemistry and biology course dedicated to primary, middle and high school students (+ Entrance exam in medicine and dentistry). I approach the subject according to the level of the student. The first class will be devoted to see the level of the student (test, oral questions) and the difficulties he encounters. Then we proceed with a system of session of two parts: a theoretical part then a session of exercises. The student will have tests from time to time to make sure he understands the materials.

    Arina
    (Private) Mathematics tutoring for secondary school students
    - As for the lessons. The lessons are about mathematics of secondary education. More specifically, I will assist in the theoretical processing of mathematics as its application (the exercises). In addition, I will provide additional study material (aids, schedules, ...) if necessary. - Way of handling. I would like to have an overview in advance of the study material, the tests or tasks in which certain problems are visible, .... This way I can prepare the lessons in advance and focus on the problem. In addition, I can estimate / determine his / her level in this way. I try, in a simple way and for the student in an understandable way, to explain the course in a different way so that this is clear to the student. Afterwards I like to enjoy the results. - Why am I doing this? Math is a passion of mine and for me there is nothing more fun than sharing my passion. Unfortunately, my love for mathematics is not part of my studies and that is why I like to do this as a hobby and as an extra income. Of course I work professionally. - Experiences? I love nothing more than tutoring my fellow students about the subject matter. This is appreciated by them. Of course I also have experience in tutoring mathematics of both primary and secondary education. - Who am I? My name is Arina and I am a legal practice student. I am 22 years old and I live in a student flat in Leuven. In high school itself, I had a traumatic experience in first and second high school for mathematics. I thought it was a very interesting and cool subject, but I just couldn't understand it. During these years I had the same teacher, who did not teach me the subject matter in a, for me, the right way. After (compulsory by my parents) tutoring, my interest in mathematics increased to such an extent that I started studying economics mathematics in the following years. My love for math just won't go away...

    Ward

    Mira
    Tutoring in mechanics, physics, technical drawing or electricity
    My name is Mira, I am 23 years old and I will graduate as an industrial engineer in 2022. I am currently a PhD student in the Mechanical Department of KU Leuven. Here I teach industrial engineering students every week. I have also been active at Chiro for 17 years. Who are my tutoring sessions intended for: - Secondary education students (12-18 years) -Higher education students (college or university) Subjects: - physics - dynamics - statics - technical drawing - electricity I am a person with a lot of patience and attach great importance to good communication. Through an initial conversation we discover together where exactly the bottlenecks lie. We can then tackle these together by going through step-by-step theory and exercises. You will then be given some assignments to complete at home that we can then look at together. I'm sure you are capable of much more than you think! Together we become real experts!
