Private lessons in Mathematics from a true mathematician

Van 64.05 € /h

To jump straight to the point, I love mathematics. But, it didn't always come easy to me.

In third grade we were tested on the multiplication table and I received the lowest grade in my class. I still remember the shame I felt and I was asking myself how will I ever be good at this subject if I was already doing so poorly. Well, I am a walking example of it doesn't matter how you start, it only matters how you finish.

I am now a doctor in Mathematics (obtained my PhD from EPFL in 2022) with over five years of teaching experience ranging from primary school pupils to university students. My secret? I taught myself how to learn.

When people talk about mathematics they portray it as a mystical creature that is incomprehensible and untameable. In actuality, it is more like legos. With each bit of new knowledge you gain, you get to build these magnificent worlds of concepts, theorems and operations.

I would love to build some lego structures with you. I am very passionate about my work and I have the patience and dedication to help you conquer any challenge you may face.

As tutoring is such an individualistic practice, it will be tailored to you and your needs. The first lesson will be an introduction to one another and a way for me to familiarise myself with your math knowledge and issues. We will then decide on a tutoring plan and set goals. I am very flexible and my main priority is that you receive the support you need.

If this sounds good to you, do not hesitate to get in touch.

P.S.: I currently teach in English but I am actively working on my German competencies.

Extra informatie

I would like access to the material before the start of the lessons in order to familiarise myself with the material and the way it has been introduced and applied.

Over

Simply put, I am a mathematician at heart. The moment I realised that mathematics was nothing to be scared about, but rather a tool one can use to build understanding of the world around us, I feel in love with it.

My mission is to demystify mathematics and to show everyone that they too can be great at maths. The most common problem I see is that students do not understand how things 'work'. I structure my teaching in a way in which this doesn't occur, by emphasising precision, attention to detail and tailoring the speed and the difficulty to the capabilities of the student.

Opleiding

Postdoc in Mathematics at University of Birmingham, December 2022.

Leservaring

For four years I worked as a teaching assistant in the Mathematics department at EPFL. My main goal was to insure that students felt supported in their journey of learning mathematics, that all of their questions were answered and that they felt comfortable in their knowledge to undertake any challenge.
I also offered private tutoring between my master and doctoral studies. During this time I helped high school students prepare for their semestrial examination, as well as for the Bacalaureat exam.

It is with pleasure that I offer courses in all scientific fields until the last year of maturity (business school and general culture included). I move willingly in the inhabitant. We can also see each other in a cafe. I travel regularly between Geneva, Coppet and Zurich.

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects.

Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”
