A Grounding in the Basic Maths that support Software Fundamentals
A good grasp of Maths and IT Fundamentals has become essential in many walks of life, both professional and personal.
In this very specific foundational course, designed to help those interested in a career in the IT Software field, we will learn about mathematical concepts like: Set theory, Numeral Systems (binary, decimal), and Algebra (including Boolean). These lie at the very foundation of Computer Science. Then go on to see how they are applied in Database Design and Programming concepts.

About Me
I was born in a town called Skipton, North Yorkshire. So naturally I've a Northern UK accent. But having taught some twenty years, I typically speak slowly and enunciate clearly.I very much believe in keeping things as simple as possible, so as to aid practical application. Too much detail early on can overwhelm, and damage confidence. Once a skill has been practised a while, more detail can be added in.
In my personal life, I no live in Larne, Northern Ireland - having moved to Ireland with my wife in 2009. My hobbies include gardening and reading.

Very good and helpful
Many topics in the school curriculum have seen huge changes in recent years, none more so than Maths. Maths has seen new topics, and teaching methods. Also while the traditional Maths topics were taught in isolation, modern methods interconnects the topics to solve practical, real-life, problems.
On the course we will discuss topics like: Numeral Systems (binary, decimal), Algebra, Geometry, Probability, Set Theory and Statistics.
English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world with approximately 1.5 billion speakers. It is the mother tongue of more than 350 million people, and the most widely used language in big business and IT.
Improve your ability to comprehend, and communicate, in this increasingly used language.
Both written, and oral, English is covered by a UK native with over twenty years teaching experience.
A practical, ground level, introduction on how to use computers and the basic connected tools within the Microsoft Office suite.
It includes introductory lessons on how to use various operating system tools and then moves onto programs like: Excel, Word and Powerpoint.

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacherI 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.

Tutoring Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics (exact subjects).I am Christian, graduated in chemistry at Utrecht University (Biomolecular Sciences) and have a PhD in developmental biology. For several years now I have been tutoring and exam training in mathematics, chemistry and physics to HAVO and VWO students, but also to HBO students and Cambridge International A-levels. Maybe I can help you too!
The lessons are given online, but I provide a personal and interactive approach. With a marker and whiteboard I create an atmosphere that is comparable to private lessons at your home.
Every student has unique goals and a unique way of learning. That is why I tailor my lessons to your needs. I am always involved in your progress and am optimistic and approachable by nature. During the lessons I often notice that students not only understand the material better, but also their self-confidence grows.
Besides being a tutor, I am a part-time artist (painter and musician). My creative background gives me a fresh and enthusiastic perspective on science subjects. If science subjects feel hard, difficult or boring, or if you had a teacher who couldn't make it fun, I can help you change that. The more you understand, the more fun it becomes, and good grades will follow!
I'd love to meet you!

Math tutoring for high school studentsAs a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material!
We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition.
The sessions generally take place according to the following stages:
1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps.
2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises.
3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach.
4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively.
5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course.
I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach.
In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.

1.1 Limits of functions
1.2 Continuity, types of discontinuities, intermediate value theorem
1.3 Differentiation (or derivative), slope, secant, tangent
1.4 Rules and theorems for differentiation, power rule, product rule, chain rule
1.5 Derivatives of exp, log, and trigonometric functions
1.6 Implicit differentiation and derivative of inverse functions
1.7 Rolle's theorem, mean value theorem, critical point, maximum/minimum of a function
1.8 First and second derivative tests, inflection points
1.9 Anti-derivative, indefinite integral, integration by substitution, integration by parts
1.10 Definite integral and its application (area between curves, application in physics)\
1.11 Optimization and linear differential equations
2. Linear Algebra:
2.1 Vectors and scalars in Euclidean space, vector arithmetic, scalar product, cross product
2.2 Equations for lines and planes, vector spaces, linear independence, span, basis, dimension
2.3 Linear transformations, coordinates, and representation of linear transformations by matrices
2.4 Matrix operations: matrix multiplication, transpose, determinant, inverse, and Hermitian conjugate
2.5 Systems of linear equations, Gaussian elimination
2.6 Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
2.7 Range, kernel, and rank-nullity theorem
and many more...
*Note that the sessions will be held online (via Discord/Zoom/Microsoft Teams).
