Mentoring Mathematics - Personalised Tuition for Swamped Students

Mathematics is a highly sought skill in any job or career. In my experience, the beginning of high school is when students decide if they love or hate maths; this is an important time to show them that it isn't that scary! Everything has a reason and, if you learn it right, can feel like cheating!

This class helps students learn how and why mathematics works the way it does, crushes their fear of complex equations or concepts, and instills a newfound confidence and appreciation. From learning how counting works to nailing your Higher maths exam, this class is tailored to the student!
Lessons are aimed at students in high school, however anyone outwith this who wants to learn about these topics is more than welcome!

Extra information

I will provide any materials for in-person lessons such as worksheets, textbooks, and basic stationery. Students in S2 or above are expected to have a scientific calculator, however I can bring a spare.

For online classes, students just need a reliable internet connection and some method of taking notes or trying practice questions.

About Me

I have mentored hundreds of students over three years. From teaching P1s how to write numbers to S6s preparing for their examinations, I always pride myself in personalising the lessons to the student. High school is a difficult time and students don't often have a strong support system to help them understand what mathematics is, let alone attempt it!
My work adage is to try! Even if it is completely wrong, you'll have put the effort in and learned something in the process.

Education

I completed my National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers before beginning university, where I achieved a BSc in Mathematics. Alongside this, I have various miscellanious qualifications and skills to help any student.

Experience / Qualifications

I have tutored for 3 years, helping students from various backgrounds and skill levels. I have taught many students who are studying for exams and helped advance their skill and understanding.

Westley
GCSE Maths Tutor preparing students for the GCSE exam
Hi! I`m a Biological Sciences student at the University of Edinburgh. I`m from England and am tutoring up to GCSE level sciences and Maths. I sat my A levels in Maths, Biology, Physics and Chemistry. I love teaching and helping students get the most out of themsleves and their studies, covering a wide wide range of problems, from learning content to practicing exam questions. I believe the most important part of learning is identifying and strengthening different weaknesses in the student's individual learning process, with the end goal of helping the student become self sufficient. If this sounds like a goal of yours, I will be able to help!

Hugo
Maths Class for All Levels by an Engineer with Experience in Private Teaching
My courses are aimed at all those who have difficulties or just want to progress in maths, from primary school to high school. Depending on the field, I can also teach subjects at university undergraduate level. My name is Hugo, and I am currently in my postgraduate year in a MSc. Robotics at Heriot-Watt University, in Edinburgh. I have experience in private teaching ; in France, I taught maths and physics to several high school students. By taking into account my own experience, I think that it is essential to focus on practice, on exercises to succeed; in my opinion, this is the way that mathematics rules and theorems are most easily memorised.

Reza
Tutor for Math, Physics, and Mechanical/Material Engineering courses
I hold a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and currently work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Aerospace Engineering Faculty at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology). My extensive teaching experience covers a wide range of engineering courses, including: - Mathematics: algebra, linear algebra, probability, calculus, differential equations, intellectual math, and advanced engineering mathematics. - Mechanical Engineering: Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of materials, Mechanical design, control, vibration, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat transfer, Engineering drawing, Applied Mechanics, Composite Structures, Flight, Machine Elements, Manufacturing, 3D printing, and more. - Physics: mechanics, momentum and energy, electricity, charge and current, electric and magnetic fields, waves, particle physics, nuclear decay, astrophysics, cosmology, oscillations, etc. - CAD/CAM Software: Autocad, Solidworks. - Mechanical Design Packages: ANSYS, APDL programming, ABAQUS, MATLAB, Symbolic MATLAB, LS-DYNA. My research and teaching interests are diverse, including: • Additive manufacturing • Mechanical metamaterials • Acoustical metamaterials • Electromagnetic metamaterials • Aeroacoustics • Soft matter and soft robotics • Fatigue and fracture mechanics • Experimental mechanics • Multiscale numerical modelling • Biomaterials • Porous materials • Manufacturing of medical devices and implants • Deep learning • Image processing • Topology optimization • Origami and Kirigami structures • Self-folding and self-assembly structures • Tissue engineering • Permeability in porous materials • Fluid-Solid Interaction I understand that not all teachers excel in teaching Engineering and Mathematics courses and explaining their importance to students. Courses with strong mathematical backgrounds may become boring for students who lack a solid mathematical basis. To address this, I take a student-centered approach, starting from the basics to actively engage all students, including those with weaker mathematical backgrounds. I also provide practical examples to demonstrate the real-world significance of what they are learning, inspiring and fostering their interest in the subject matter.

Salah Eddine
Math tutoring for high school students
As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material! We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition. The sessions generally take place according to the following stages: 1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps. 2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises. 3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach. 4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively. 5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course. I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach. In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.
