Maths for english-speaking students, aimed at the Brevet and Baccalaureate in France, and the GCSE and A-Levels for UK exams.

I taught Maths for ten years in both private preparatory schools, and secondary schools (in Surrey and Somerset.) I also successfully ran, for six years, my own private maths tuition business in Guildford. I have a First-Class Degree in Mathematics/Economics from the University of Surrey.

Maths is a subject that, often, students of any age are simply afraid of. Building confidence in a student that they do have the ability (and everyone does) is absolutely vital. To this end, tailoring what and how I teach to the needs of the individual is really important. It is also a subject that, sometimes, needs to be explained in very different ways to different students. For example, one student will understand algebra in a very theoretical way, others relate better to a "real-life" comparison. You have to be very flexible in your ideas and approaches as a Maths teacher, and that's something that I have always prided myself on being able to do.

Stephen is a wonderful teacher who knew exactly how to help my son who was struggling with maths in the French school system. It was great to hear them both laughing through the whole lesson, which my son described afterwards as "really not bad at all" - high praise indeed from a 15 year old mathsophobe.

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Fritz
Maths through cartoons, interactive lessons from CP to ninth grade
My method is VERY SIMPLE: 1. I design a cartoon that explains a lesson with one or two examples of the practical usefulness of said lesson in everyday life. 2. I discuss with the learner to encourage him to find other examples. 3. We do simple exercises but I leave him some homework, he can contact me 24/7 if he has a problem. With me, students can easily make the connection between what they are taught and everyday life. The courses are reserved for students from preparatory course to third grade.

Mathematics for younger kids who are willing to improve on their maths skills.
To help children succeed in math, I would focus on creating a structured, engaging, and supportive learning environment that builds their confidence and problem-solving skills. Here’s how I would approach it: Assessing the Child’s Current Level: The first step would be to understand each child’s current abilities, strengths, and areas needing improvement. I would assess their understanding of math fundamentals, such as basic operations, number sense, or algebra, depending on their age and level. Building Strong Foundations: I would ensure that students have a solid grasp of the foundational concepts before moving to more complex topics. This may include reinforcing basic arithmetic, number theory, or explaining core concepts in geometry and algebra clearly. Personalized Learning Plans: Every child learns at a different pace, so I would tailor my lessons to each child's needs. For some, this may mean breaking problems down into smaller, manageable steps, while for others, I might introduce more challenging material to keep them engaged. Making Math Fun and Engaging: I would incorporate games, puzzles, and real-life examples to make math relatable and enjoyable. Interactive learning keeps children engaged and reduces the fear often associated with math. Step-by-Step Problem Solving: I would teach students how to approach math problems methodically by breaking them down into smaller, logical steps. This helps develop critical thinking and enables students to solve even complex problems with confidence. Encouraging a Growth Mindset: Mistakes are part of learning. I would encourage a growth mindset by praising effort over results, showing students that challenges and mistakes help them grow and improve. Regular Practice and Reinforcement: I would provide practice exercises, both during tutoring sessions and as homework, ensuring that students get ample opportunity to reinforce what they’ve learned. Gradual increases in difficulty would help keep them challenged but not overwhelmed. Real-Time Feedback: During lessons, I would provide immediate feedback, correcting errors and explaining where things went wrong. This helps to clear misconceptions right away and solidify understanding. Utilizing Visuals and Manipulatives: I would incorporate visual aids, such as diagrams, charts, and physical objects (manipulatives), especially for younger children. These tools help explain abstract concepts and make math more tangible. Building Confidence and Independence: Over time, I would encourage children to try solving problems on their own. I would gradually reduce assistance as they develop more confidence, allowing them to take ownership of their learning and celebrate their progress. By focusing on these key areas, I aim to make math approachable, enjoyable, and successful for children at any level.
