About Me

My name is David and I am a tutor from Boston, Massachusets. I've lived in Belgium for 7 years now. I love teaching students and have a younger brother and sister. So, teaching has been a lifelong passion of mine. I really enjoy seeing students light up when they understand something that used to be intimidating or challenging to them.

I also believe in the importance of connecting with students and the need for a holistic approach to teaching, taking into account that often (especially for teenagers!) other subjects like self-esteem, confidence and general problem solving habits can get in the way of a student's success, beyond purely academic knowledge.

Learning how to learn is probably the most important meta-skill of life and I think it is also the duty of any tutor to take this into account no matter which subject they teach.

Education

I have a master's degree in electrical engineering from KU Leuven. Graduated from American International School of Vilnius. I grew up in the United States and graduated high school in Lithuania.

Experience / Qualifications

Have assisted many students in the past with application essays and IB work. I have close to 8 years of experience tutoring. I’ve worked with numerous preparation, companies like Kaplan and Manhattan Review in the past. Students I have worked with have entered ivy-league universities.

I believe the job of a teacher is to remove obstacles from a student’s path whether they are psychological, resource related or simply a lack of clear explanations.

Currently, I work as a product manager at a financial institution.

Currently studying in Master 2 (automation engineer orientation), I have enjoyed teaching scientific subjects to the less experienced for 4 years now.

I have always had excellent contact with young people (scouting, ADEPS certified holiday center instructor, NGO) and private lessons are now my main activity behind my studies.

Having already ensured a total of about thirty young people, some in private lessons and others in classes (of 4-5 young people), I have acquired substantial experience in the field of private education, and this for all high school levels.

With this extensive experience in my background, I have already explained at least once each subject of the secondary program in any year. Over the years, I have been able to learn, experiment and find the most effective ways to convey each of these subjects.

Finally, my engineering studies allow me to take a more practical approach to the subject, which is greatly appreciated by secondary school students, who all too often find themselves not knowing what the purpose of the maths and sciences they are taught are. .

As an economist with a Ph.D. from KU Leuven, I offer proofreading services for theses in Economics/Econometrics written in English or French

I can offer a complete proofreading of your thesis. I can also help you beforehand with formulating your research question and organizing your thesis, for the empirical parts (data collection, data analysis, econometrics), as well as with the formatting using LaTeX for instance.

My classes are mostly based on problem solving skills and critical thinking. You will understand topics deeply and will be able to think critically and ask questions, describe different aspects of the topic and phenomenon related to it and also solve problems.

Depending what subject you choose, I’ll help you gain understanding and motivation for the subject. Depending how much help you require and/or want I’ll tailor the lessons to you.

For:

-Math: I can help you understand what you’re learning and help you find your own way of learning. So you’ll be able to eventually work independently.

-English: Humans learn through communication. So during the lessons we’ll be talking about and listening to the things you enjoy. This improves the learning experience and your knowledge all at the same time!

-General School Help: I’ll personally help you with assignments. If you have tests and/or exams I’ll help you study and try to improve your cognitive ability.

Having conducted international-level experimental and theoretical scientific research for many years (PhD University of Cambridge, National Physical Laboratory, Max-Planck Institute, KUL, and UCL) I offer tailored and adaptive tutoring in mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

My main focus is in helping those pupils in their final two years of school who are preparing for university. I also specialize in preparing students for the Belgian medical entrance exam by actually solving the problems of all the past entrance exams and providing tips and insight for rapidly homing in on the correct answers.

My philosophy is that science and mathematics can be related to each person's everyday experience. I try to provide insight and solid foundations so that students will not have to rely heavily on blindly memorizing large sections of their courses.

I had mentorship experiences for secondary school and high school as well as teaching math and geometry. Mentorship is very effective on students’ performance. In my mentorship, we define our long term goals. We keep track our weekly goals to achieve the goal and we together have a high motivation and discipline.

I am an engineering Master’s student at KU Leuven. I have always been a successful student as well as a mentor. I know how the success process is built and how it is achieved.

At Kids with Naysa, we believe that every child has the potential to shine — sometimes they just need a little extra guidance to get there. Through fun, personalized, and supportive tutor lessons, we help kids grow in confidence, master school subjects, and discover their unique strengths.

Naysa, a passionate and patient mentor, creates a safe and encouraging environment where children feel heard, motivated, and inspired to learn. Whether it’s help with reading, spelling, math, writing, or building study skills, each session is adapted to the child's pace and needs. No pressure — just positive progress.

Our lessons are ideal for primary school students and young teens who need one-on-one attention outside the classroom. We focus not only on academic improvement but also on mindset: learning how to ask questions, try again after mistakes, and enjoy the journey.

With creativity, care, and consistency, Kids with Naysa makes learning engaging and empowering. Sessions can take place in person (local area) or online for maximum flexibility.

Parents receive regular updates and tips to support their child’s growth, making it a true team effort.

Ready to see your child thrive? Let’s learn together, the Naysa way — where every child matters and learning becomes a joy.

Vincent, Engineer and PhD student in neuroscience, specializing in psychology and pedagogy: I have designed a unique method to ensure that students with significant difficulties improve their results in Mathematics. The method consists of specifying the learning according to the child's profile and interests. As well as providing a score that evaluates different areas of the student's competence in Mathematics over time, a score that serves as feedback for parents and the student so that they understand where their difficulties lie.

Strong points
• Scientific expertise: PhD in engineering & neuroscience => psychological and pedagogical understanding and the ability to make biological mathematics, video games, sports, etc. concrete.
• Tailor-made teaching: lessons adapted to your child's visual and auditory profiles and — above all — interests (football, music, games, etc.).
• Vincent Method: Determine the child's profile and continually assess the student in order to monitor progress in the different areas of competence related to Mathematics.
• Transparent monitoring: Each month you will receive a precise report allowing you to really understand the blockages.
