Very informative
Are you interested in learning a new language? With this course you will learn all the basics regarding the Portuguese language. It is in a conversational style of learning, but if you would like to also learn more about writing and reading in Portuguese, arrangements can be made! Come join me for a very relaxing and fun time, while also learning new things! :)
Bachelor theses are usually the last step needed for a student to graduate. Such task is challenging and requires dedication and focus. Therefore, I offer to give you some guidance and feedback on your thesis. It is important to have a second reader who has never read your thesis before and may not be as knowledgeable in your chosen topic as it provides new insight which you may have overlooked yourself. I have recently graduated myself, with a political science degree and international relations specialization, and have gone through this process. My thesis focused on exploring the relationship between democratic systems and voter turnout. Therefore, if you are writing your thesis on a similar research area, I can also recommend great academic literature and further feedback!

EXPRIENCED TUTOR FOR IB, IGCSE, GCSE, EDEXCEL, A-LEVELS, SCIENCE, CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY AND PHYSICS
I am a specialized and certified AS and A-Levels tutor with extensive experience in teaching Sequences and Series, along with a strong emphasis on Calculus. My tutoring sessions are designed to provide in-depth knowledge and understanding of these crucial mathematical topics, helping students to master the material and excel in their exams. Focus Areas in Sequences and Series Binomial Expansion: I guide students through the principles of binomial expansion, helping them understand how to expand expressions of the form (a+b)n . We explore the Binomial Theorem in detail, ensuring that students can apply it effectively in problem-solving scenarios. By the end of our sessions, students will be able to expand binomials with confidence and accuracy. Arithmetic Progressions (AP): Understanding arithmetic progressions is fundamental in mathematics. I provide comprehensive instruction on identifying and working with sequences where each term is derived by adding a constant. Students learn how to find the nth term, the sum of the first n terms, and how to apply these concepts to solve real-world problems. Geometric Progressions (GP): I also specialize in geometric progressions, where each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant. My approach includes explaining key concepts such as the nth term and the sum of a geometric series, both finite and infinite. We tackle a variety of problems to ensure a deep understanding of the subject. Further Sequences and Series: Beyond the basics, I explore further topics in sequences and series, including convergence and divergence. This advanced understanding prepares students for higher-level mathematics and the challenges they may face in university studies. Mastering Calculus In addition to Sequences and Series, I offer expert guidance in Calculus, which is essential for success in AS and A-Levels. My focus here includes: Differentiation: I help students understand the principles of differentiation, teaching them how to find derivatives and apply them to various functions. We work on techniques, such as the product and quotient rules, and explore applications of derivatives in real-world contexts. Integration: Students learn the fundamentals of integration, including definite and indefinite integrals. I emphasize techniques such as substitution and integration by parts, ensuring that students can tackle a wide range of problems. Application of Calculus: We explore how calculus is used in practical scenarios, including motion problems and areas under curves, to provide a holistic understanding of the subject. Proven Approach to Learning My proven approach focuses on solving past examination questions, which is crucial for familiarizing students with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I emphasize understanding core principles rather than rote memorization. This methodology not only boosts confidence but also ensures that students can apply their knowledge effectively in exams. I believe that personalized feedback is vital for growth. Throughout our sessions, I provide constructive feedback and support, allowing students to identify their strengths and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop fosters a growth mindset, empowering students to embrace challenges and develop resilience.

tutoring in math and science (physics, chemistry, biology); Tutor in Math and Natural Sciences
(for English description see below) Hi there, I offer tutoring for math and science subjects here. Regardless of whether it's school, university or work - having to learn to pass a subject is neither fun nor much point, as you'll soon forget most of it. But how can it be better? I have experienced several times how much of success depends on the emotions associated with learning. That's why I'll try to create an environment in which you feel free to make mistakes - because mistakes are important for learning! I rely on understanding, patience and curiosity to develop a positive relationship with learning rather than applying pressure. Following the neurobiologist Gerald Hüther, I see the art in setting just the right big challenges to be exciting but not frightening, so that you automatically develop joy in discovery. I would be happy to have an introductory meeting in order to take your needs and wishes into account from the outset. Background information about me: I am a qualified engineer (mechanical engineering) with 3 years of work experience, as well as a master's degree in bionics (cross-sectional discipline between biology and engineering) and a PhD in environmental protection of mountain regions. I was active as a youth leader at the Alpine Club. I have been giving tutoring lessons on the side ever since I was at school. I am pleased to meet you.
