Over

Hi everyone,

My name is Ann-Marie and I have been teaching in various subjects for over 15 years. I have experience teaching children from 4 years old to 16 years old. I also have experience teaching adults in various subjects.

With the younger children at KS1 I have experience of delivering Maths and English. Particularly from 4 years old I have looked at phonics, learning how to read and writing skills. For KS2 students, I have experience of delivering Maths and English. Adult learning, covers a wide variety of subjects. A few to name that I have taught include Information Technology, Functional Skills in Maths and English and a variety of short courses to help with employability skills and supporting adults into the workforce.

I obtained my teaching qualification in 2007 from the Institute of Education, now known as The UCL Institute of education. Being a very prestigious Institution, I believe the Institute of Education has made me well equipped to teach to a very high standard in any given educational setting.

I have a wealth of experience delivering lessons in schools, colleges and training providers. I am absolutely passionate about teaching! I just love seeing my students progress, and gain new knowledge and skills.

I also have experience preparing students for exams and I have an excellent pass rate when students choose to learn with me. I have supported students with the 11+ exams and one of my success stories was seeing through a student being given a place at The Latymer School, Edmonton, London. I have also been through the process of sitting an Entrance exam to get into a selective grammar school. I therefore can certainly emphasise with students regarding the pressure they must feel throughout the process. I also deliver exam skills and dedicate some time in all my sessions to applying one's knowledge to exam style questions.

I look forward to teaching you and I will make the sessions as fun, interactive and engaging as possible! I will set homework for you to check and review your learning and I will also help you focus on the areas/topics that you feel need to be addressed as a priority.

I set clear targets in each session, known as learning outcomes and I will guide you through at a pace convenient to you to help and support you achieve all the outcomes by the end of the session.

Learning is fun! That's my motto and I want to help you enjoy learning and succeed in whichever subject you choose to book with me.

I look forward to teaching you.

You have come to the right place, I can teach you in all areas of information technology.
Below you see several questions to which I can give you a clear and straightforward answer. I can explain this to you at any level and we can go deep where you want it. Is your question not listed? Let me know. There are simply too many questions to write here.

How does the internet work?
How does a computer network work?
What is a DHCP server and how does DNS work?

How do I keep my identity hidden online?
What are cookies?
What does my computer store?
How does the Wehkamp site know that I like those pants?

Microsoft PowerPoint is a computer program from Microsoft that is part of Microsoft Office. It is a program with which presentations can be made especially easily. These presentations consist of several virtual slides.

After this training you can make a convincing PowerPoint presentation. For example, you will learn how to easily insert text, images, tables, graphs, sound clips, videos, lines and shapes. You will also practice with the order of the slides and learn how to print handouts.

You will also discover how to show the audience the presentation, while you see something else on your computer screen. In the presenter view, you can view your notes and see what the next slide is. This way you can introduce them and your story is easier to follow.

Programming in Python (primary to university education) taught by master HIR at the KUL. Programming experience as a Civil Computer Science Engineer. HIR, TEW and Bio-IRs have already been successfully assisted.

ABOUT THIS LESSON:
I offer tutoring in Python programming and mathematics for university and college students. I also support secondary school and primary school students in all scientific subjects.

My focus is on the student being able to find the solution independently, step by step, and I help where necessary by providing mini-tips to help them reach the next step. This makes my method much more personalized than standard classroom teaching.

For me, all learning starts with understanding each step and I have several methods/tools to present and clarify this. If it is difficult to understand, I explain it in a different way, in my own words, so that the material is certainly understood, as this is the first step towards fully mastering the material in the subjects I teach.

This is followed by learning to devise and write code yourself, but if this is too difficult to write a complete solution in an empty program, I have a diagram/step-by-step plan and extra tips and tricks to work towards the final solution in a much more structured way.

If you have taken lessons with me or are still taking them, you can always send me questions via chat between lessons and I will quickly help you as best as possible so that you can continue practicing on yourself. I just do this during one of my own study breaks and I enjoy doing it.

ABOUT NICK:
I am a 22-year-old master's student in Commercial Engineering at KU Leuven. I started tutoring my sister, nephews, nieces and friends and I get a lot of satisfaction from improving and helping others when they come to me for help.

Because I have been tutoring consistently for several years, I have the right resources to present learning material in an understandable way and to strengthen the motivation, concentration and independent study of my students.

I also studied civil engineering for 2 years and passed the Python programming subject in that course with flying colors. I stopped doing this because the rest of the course did not interest me enough. In commercial engineering I also had part of a Python course that was much easier and for which I therefore achieved a great distinction.

I have already successfully helped quite a few Commercial Engineers, TEWs and Bio-Engineers, but other courses have also been positive about my help. Other directions can certainly contact me as well. High school students are of course also in the right place with me.

I don't give up until I'm sure a student understands the material well enough and I see them making progress. By always appearing enthusiastic, I ensure that together we do not let the drudgery of difficult subjects get any further than the school desks.

I am flexible in making appointments and am open to every student. I provide tutoring at your home (I can travel by car), at my home (Kampenhout), in my student room (Leuven) or online.

If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss the practical matters in more depth immediately. Together we can draw up a plan and work lesson by lesson to achieve your personal academic goals or those of your child.
