Mathematics tutoring (A, B, C) for vmbo, havo and vwo / tutoring in mathematics (A, B, C) for middle and high school students*ENGLISH BELOW*
Hello! My name is Sanne (23) and as a master student in Molecular Life Sciences I have a great passion for biochemistry. I have several years of experience and have helped more than 20 students with various science subjects. I offer tutoring for the subject mathematics (mathematics A, B and C). Whether you need help with a specific chapter, or want to follow a broader exam training.
During the tutoring we will mainly work together on assignments and I will support you in the thinking process. In addition to the lessons, it is of course also the intention that you work independently. You need a calculator yourself.
Tutoring in pairs or small groups (for example with classmates) is possible at a lower rate per person – please contact us for more information!

My name is Sanne (23), and I'm a Master's student in Molecular Life Sciences with a strong passion for biochemistry. I have several years of tutoring experience and have helped over 20 students with various science subjects. I currently offer tutoring sessions in mathematics (A, B, and C) – whether you need help with a specific chapter or are looking for broader exam preparation.
During our sessions, we'll work through exercises together, and I'll guide you through the thought process step by step. Between sessions, it's important for you to work independently on homework assignments too. You'll need your own calculator.
Tutoring in pairs or small groups (eg with a classmate) is possible at a reduced rate per person – feel free to get in touch for more details!

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.

1.3 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

Primary & Middle School Mathematics Individual French System & Brevet PreparationI love math because it's a subject that, while intimidating to some, is also incredibly logical and rewarding. Understanding math is like solving puzzles—every problem has a solution, and every step is a small challenge to overcome.
This mathematics course is designed to support primary and secondary school students (up to grade 9) in the French system. It covers all the essential concepts of the curriculum: numeration, calculation, geometry, problem solving, statistics and probability, algebra, and preparation for the Brevet (Brevet).
The goal is to strengthen the foundations, clarify gray areas, and give the student confidence and autonomy.
Each session is personalized according to the student's level, pace, and needs. Fun methods are used for younger students, while discipline and strategy are used for older students.

Sometimes it happens that our basic concepts are not clear thats why we are not able to solve questions efficiently. I'll be discussing with you where exactly you are, will come to your level, and then take you up with me from there.
I am a teacher with whom you can ask any basic silly concept to any complex one.
COURSE OUTLINE:
* Foundation of Mathematics
* Basic concepts in Mathematics
* Algebra and Trigonometry
* Elementary statistics
* Modern Geometry
* Calculus
* Differential Equations
This is an outline of the course. Apart from this, if you have any doubt on any particular topic, you can obviously clear that concept with me.
Let's start and make it fun.
