When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

I specialize in private classes based on students demands. It is very important for me to keep the students happy and enjoying the learning. I also teach them some culture in order to understand the language better. I have been teaching IGCSE French and Portuguese as well as A Levels and IB.I believe in organic teaching and in including the language in real life. My students come from a multicultural background and are used to be open minded. I teach them to be citizens of the world, therefore it is very important to learn a foreign language, in order to feel at ease wherever they go.

Hi!
Classes with me are conversational with practical practice. During them, English will be the only spoken language. I like to start from the basics and move slowly to the more advanced levels at the pace of every individual. Working with students of different ages is always an incredible experience, as I love to see how their language barriers weaken and knowledge grows!

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me them and I will be happy to answer! 😄

During my high school education in Portugal, I found myself unchallenged and unmotivated by the math curriculum. Seven years later, as a mathematician at the beginning of my academic career, I think I'm an ideal tutor for students in a similar position—interested in math but not quite finding what they need at school. I'm also available to help more advanced students (from university or beyond) who need advice and direction on university-level topics. Additionally, I'm happy to help adults who need help restarting their mathematical education or filling in gaps in their understanding.

I'm interested in talking about anything mathematical, from linear inequalities to Hilbert's Nullstellensatz. I'm also familiar with computer science, both in theory and practice. I can easily take the reins and "lecture" on most topics but would prefer to steer towards whatever the student finds interesting. I strongly believe that learning math is an active, creative process.

As an Erasmus visiting Porto, I would like to share my knowledge of French with Portuguese people. French is my first language, and I speak English fluently. However, I don't speak Portuguese very well.
The French lessons would consist of doing small exercises in conjugations and grammar, but also lessons on French culture. I want to ensure that the lessons are rather fun, because for me it is the best way to learn a language.

English, it is an international language that is spoken in every corner of the world. We travel, do business and other things its could be easy to speak in english rather to learn difficult language. It could be wonderful to learn new language like Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Germen, Spanish, Portuguese and so on but English could be perfect for us to work in multi business companies and to enhance your confidence.
