The classes introduce students to the fundamental principles and problem-solving methods used in math, physics, and engineering, with an emphasis on logical reasoning, mathematical modeling, and real-world applications. Through a mix of theory, worked examples, and hands-on exercises, students learn how to translate physical or practical problems into equations, analyze systems using quantitative tools, and interpret results critically. I focus on building a strong analytical foundation that supports advanced study and equips students with skills commonly used in scientific research and engineering design.

About Me
I am a clear, patient, and engaging teacher who explains complex ideas in a way that feels approachable and logical. I emphasize understanding over memorization, guiding students step by step through concepts while encouraging questions and critical thinking. By connecting theory to real-world examples, I help students see the purpose behind what they are learning and build confidence in their problem-solving abilities.

Tutoring for Cambridge International Examinations.

In person or via Zoom, the tutoring can be delivered on a regular basis or as an unique act.

Going through the sylabus, doing exercises proposed in the topic book, answering to paper questions, whatching videos that explain the topic, everything in a relaxed environment that invites students to share their knowledge and also their doubts.

Tutoring process can be very rewarding when students see their self-esteem increasing because they have someone that can help them navigate alongside the studying .


Whith a wide range of teaching experience in tutoring and teaching I can help your child to achieve its greatest dream

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

Math is life, and life is good.
Hello everyone! My name is Rafael. I have been teaching online and locally for over two years and I really enjoy it! I'm currently studying for my Ph.D.

If you are a parent who reads my profile, I do my best to make math enjoyable for students. It is a very difficult subject and sometimes students just need a boost of confidence and learn the basics. On the other hand, I like to encourage students who do well on their own. I like to challenge students and push their limits so that they become really strong mathematicians.

If you are a student reading my profile, know that I can really help you learn your math well and enjoy doing it! There are many different ways to explain any topic; my goal will be to make you comfortable with your skills.

That's all I have for you :) Have a wonderful day!

During my high school education in Portugal, I found myself unchallenged and unmotivated by the math curriculum. Seven years later, as a mathematician at the beginning of my academic career, I think I'm an ideal tutor for students in a similar position—interested in math but not quite finding what they need at school. I'm also available to help more advanced students (from university or beyond) who need advice and direction on university-level topics. Additionally, I'm happy to help adults who need help restarting their mathematical education or filling in gaps in their understanding.

I'm interested in talking about anything mathematical, from linear inequalities to Hilbert's Nullstellensatz. I'm also familiar with computer science, both in theory and practice. I can easily take the reins and "lecture" on most topics but would prefer to steer towards whatever the student finds interesting. I strongly believe that learning math is an active, creative process.
