About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Although I also really enjoy doing translations, I prefer to teach people, to motivate them, to show them what skills they are capable of, to guide them, to prepare them for exams, to explain semantics and grammar to them. Most of the time, I teach one-to-one classes because this type of teaching allows students to speak the most and practice what they have learned. My lessons do not follow any miracle formula, but I know that learning by doing, i.e. speaking and writing the language, is an important means of learning a language and consolidating knowledge.

I am from Germany, a European and convinced Francophile, and in my time I am a translator and professional in the course of the German. German is my mother tongue. But I also have enough knowledge of the language spoken across the Rhine. Know, therefore, that I am very capable of giving you lessons in the idiom of Goethe, Schiller, etc. - and this without the slightest foreign accent. It is also available from the French language course in Germany, and has a longer date. The French language fascinates me – its grammar, its clarity, its logic. But German, the language I learned from my earliest days, also fascinates me. It is a language which – you will undoubtedly see for yourself – is not at all easy to study. However, it is impossible to pretend that it is a language that can never be learned. Whether for professional aspirations or because you want to travel to Germany, German courses will help you get by across the Rhine. I therefore offer you the German course of any Ebenex (A1 to C2). As a professional in teaching foreign languages, I can assure you that you will be admired for your good knowledge of German. You decide on the jacket and you want to continue studying the language. Contact me! Generally, unless you happen to live in Wuppertal in Germany, lessons will be given online (Teams, Signal, etc.).

Private lessons in Math, Physics - Chemistry, Biology
Experienced college graduate teacher. of Science and College. de Médecine de France gives private lessons in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Physics - Chemistry - Biology of French, Quebec CEGEP or International programs (in English) to students of secondary classes, Terminales, Brevet, Concours and classes university preparatory courses for the academic year 2022/2023. So that I can help students who follow CNED and those who prepare for SAT exams. The lessons will take place either at home or online by a very modern specific method of shared interactive whiteboard equipped with writing tools where I can with the student write and correct the homework by exposing them directly more than Zoom or Skype to communicate (Very practical method like at home). Results of my online students since Terminale 2015 were with VERY GOOD, GOOD AND EXCELLENT honors. Contact me for more details.

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.

Limit, Derivative, Integral (or Anti-derivative) and their Applications (High School and University Level)
Hi! Welcome! I am a Ph.D. researcher in Physics at the University of Cologne, Germany. Recently, I graduated from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands with a Master's degree in Nanoscience (w/ cum Laude). I offer private tutoring (for high school and/or university-level students) so you can understand the fundamental concepts and excel in your studies. I have teaching experience of 5+ years in Physics and Mathematics to the high school and university-level students. This class aims to provide an overview of calculus and focuses on the fundamental mathematical tools and concepts such as limits, differentiation, and integration. Building on these basic concepts, we will review methods for solving problems related to their applications. Note that this course will be tailored to your specific needs, and we could mainly focus on the topics you are struggling with. Furthermore, please feel free to contact me and suggest any other topics you would like me to cover and teach. Outline of the course: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.1 Limits of functions 1.2 Evaluate the limits using L'Hospital's rule (for 0/0, ∞/∞) 1.3 Continuity, types of discontinuities, intermediate value theorem ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.4 Introduction to differentiation (or derivative) 1.5 Tangent line to a curve, slope, instantaneous velocity 1.6 Rules and theorems for differentiation: power rule, product rule, chain rule 1.7 Derivatives of exp, log, and trigonometric functions 1.8 Implicit function and implicit differentiation 1.9 Derivative of inverse functions 1.10 Second and higher-order derivatives 1.11 Application of derivatives 1.12 Geometrical interpretation of the derivative of a function 1.13 Rolle's theorem, mean value theorem, critical point, maximum/minimum of a function 1.14 First and second derivative tests, inflection points ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.15 Anti-derivative, indefinite integral 1.16 Techniques of integration: integration by substitution, integration by parts 1.17 Definite integral and its application (area between curves, application in physics) 1.18 Area as a definite integral 1.19 Areas between two curves and many more... *Note that the sessions will be held online (via Discord/Zoom/Microsoft Teams).
