Organic Chemistry prep, tutoring, and learn the fundamentals to succeed

From 84 € /h

Organic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and preparation of carbon-containing compounds. Most organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may also include any number of other elements (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur).

Most students struggle not because they don’t know the reactions, but because the fundamentals are not second nature. Working together we can fill in these gaps so that the student is able to approach the problem.

About Me

I am an engaging instructor who has the student at heart.

When we work together it is my job to determine where the struggle is happening. The path we take to overcome the pain point may seem round about, but the goal is always to make sure the fundamentals are ingrained so that you can solve future problems.

I will use your work to help you understand how to think logically when approaching Organic.

Lastly, I really enjoy working with students to help them reach their goals.

Need help with geography, biology, or chemistry? As a 33-year-old civil engineer, I'm happy to help! I'll learn at your own pace, using plenty of examples to illustrate the material. I have years of experience teaching both simple and complex subjects.

The lessons run as follows. First, we look together for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once practiced from the lesson, I mastered challenging exercises to also test the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his/her exam test.

However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a bond with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this to solve and improve the problems.

Are you interested? Don't hesitate to receive me!
Please come!

I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company.
I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 11 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools.

Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments.

As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am.

Are you curious about how nature works?

Let's explore together!

Mathematics course(especially from the entrance exam perspective) taught by an engineering graduate with over 14 years of teaching experience in mathematics up to the undergraduate level. I also have more than 3 years of experience in teaching and guiding standardized tests such as the GRE and SAT. I can help you learn these standardized courses (GRE, SAT, and even TOEFL) more effectively.

I offer mathematics lessons for various levels of students, including Bachelor students, IB (Math SL and Math HL) students, A-level students, European S6 and S7 level students, GCSE students, and IGCSE students.

I also provide science courses in Physics and Chemistry for students up to the European upper secondary level, as well as IB and A-level students. Additionally, I offer Biology lessons for students up to the European Secondary level, GCSE level, and IGCSE level.

Currently, I am teaching a diverse range of students, including:
- GCSE students
- IGCSE students
- IB students
- European School students
- AS/A-level students
- Lycée Vauban students
- Athénée de Luxembourg students

I also provide homework help for school students, and student progress can be assessed through periodic tests as per the requirements of parents or the students themselves.

Note:
Please note that while some of my students may have courses taught in French, German, or Swedish, my primary teaching language is English. As the subject is mathematics, it is generally easy to understand the task at hand, and I explain the answers in English.

have graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Edinburgh, UK. I am also an Erasmus Mundus scholar with a master's in Analytical Chemistry from Uppsala University. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in physical chemistry.

I have been tutoring since 2012 to fund my education expenses. I formally began tutoring in 2014 as part of my vocational training as a teacher in Ghana, funded by the University of Edinburgh. The formal training has taught me a lot about curriculum development, time management, and fusing my teaching methodology to my students’ needs. I have been tutoring in Physics, Chemistry, and Math, in person and online; the hybrid model has allowed me to reach out and teach students in 8 different countries. I have successful students from these past nine years who have not only commended my work ethic but can also stand testament to my enthusiasm.

My excellent academic career has nurtured in me a natural talent for teaching. My experiences have taught me how to tackle one problem at a time, and I believe that using this approach—paired with my unconventional examples that force students to think outside the box—I can truly provide an excellent understanding and explanation. My teaching methodology is based on two main things: skill development and adaptation. Initially, I create a skeleton of the most suitable methodology tailored to the preferred curriculum, after which, I adapt that lecture to the specific needs of the student based on their knowledge and grasp of the concepts. Second, I like to develop analytical and scientific ability along with knowledge in my students, and for that, I use a combination of resources in the form of worksheets, class tasks, and past papers. Last, I believe in the strong ethic of providing feedback to the parents, so that they are aware of their child’s progress.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach math, mechanics, statistics, chemistry and physics. I also teach biology up to GCSE level.

When are you available? My timetable is quite flexible. I am happy to work weekdays, week evening and weekends.

Which ages and levels do you teach? The majority of my students are between the ages of 10-18, but I also teach college Students. I am also helping foundation and first year university students.

Which qualifications do you prepare your students for? GCSE, o-level, A/S-level, A-level, IB, School entrance exams and SATs

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring? I use Zoom online sessions since it has many tools and features specially designed for interactive and visual learning. I am fully equipped with modern gadgets for e-learning. I use Google drive and docs to share files.

As a child i struggled with particular subjects and found learning to be demoralising.
In middle school, I was fortunate enough to have teachers who through positive encouragement and persistence made those subjects my favourite even to this date.
I aspire to become like them for someone else.I try to make learning fun,eventful and creative which is curated according to the students needs, capacity and circumstances.
As a working candidate,I had the opportunity to tutor students in all subject areas during my post graduation.I have 7+ years of teaching experience.
So rest assured,you will be safe hands.
