    Mathematics (at all levels) and high-school Physics. SAT, GRE, and GMAT exam preparation.

    Experienced teacher (international schools and private tutoring) with a Master's degree in Mathematics, currently doing a Master's in Statistics at KU Leuven.
    I adapt that lecture to the specific needs of the student based on their knowledge and grasp of the concepts. I like to develop analytical and scientific ability along with knowledge in my students, and for that, I use a combination of resources in the form of worksheets, class tasks, and past papers. Last, I believe in the strong ethic of providing feedback to the parents, so that they are aware of their child’s progress.

    About Me

    In my teaching approach I am infinitely patient always trying to explain things from a different angle until student achieves understanding. Also I prefer to torture my students with questions, slowly leading them to an answer rather than just presenting one to them. I believe this way of teaching is more engaging and more effective and it is more fun at least for me :)

    I believe that knowledge is built from basics and deep understanding of concepts with practicality. Any concept learnt with practical application is more important than theoretical knowledge and worth in the long term. With this in mind you can expect me to deliver information in a simple and effective manner for better understanding.

    François
    Tutoring Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics and French region of Leuven (secondary)
    I am a student of TEW at the KULeuven and would like to offer my services to high school students who could use some help outside of school hours. Together with my students, I look for the right study approach to fully understand the courses and I try to present the subject matter in a different way so that my students gain more insight into the subject matter. I myself graduated from the Sint-Albertuscollege in Haasrode with a degree in science mathematics (6 hours) and I was raised perfectly bilingual (Dutch-French). I have several years of experience with tutoring, both to children in the 2nd year of high school and to children who are at the end of their high school and will soon be making the transition to further studies. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or are interested.

    Programming in Python (primary to university education) taught by master HIR at the KUL. Ex Civil Engineer CW. HIR, TEW and Bio-IR
    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.

    I studied Latin Sciences at Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege in Brussels and I am currently in my 3rd bachelor's degree in Applied Economics (TEW) at the KUL. Mathematics, science subjects, and languages can be challenging. I therefore offer my services to provide additional support to students in secondary school. Together with my students, I go over the course material, do sufficient exercises and discuss with them what the right study approach is. My goal is for them to master their learning material well and ultimately achieve a good end result. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions!

    Arina
    (Private) Mathematics tutoring for secondary school students
    - As for the lessons. The lessons are about mathematics of secondary education. More specifically, I will assist in the theoretical processing of mathematics as its application (the exercises). In addition, I will provide additional study material (aids, schedules, ...) if necessary. - Way of handling. I would like to have an overview in advance of the study material, the tests or tasks in which certain problems are visible, .... This way I can prepare the lessons in advance and focus on the problem. In addition, I can estimate / determine his / her level in this way. I try, in a simple way and for the student in an understandable way, to explain the course in a different way so that this is clear to the student. Afterwards I like to enjoy the results. - Why am I doing this? Math is a passion of mine and for me there is nothing more fun than sharing my passion. Unfortunately, my love for mathematics is not part of my studies and that is why I like to do this as a hobby and as an extra income. Of course I work professionally. - Experiences? I love nothing more than tutoring my fellow students about the subject matter. This is appreciated by them. Of course I also have experience in tutoring mathematics of both primary and secondary education. - Who am I? My name is Arina and I study law. I am 25 years old, live and live in a room in Leuven. In secondary school itself, I had a traumatic experience in the first and second year of secondary school for the subject of mathematics. I found it very interesting but I just couldn't understand it. During these years I had the same teacher who did not teach me the material in a way that was, for me, correct. After receiving tutoring (mandatory by my parents), my interest in mathematics increased so much that I started studying economics mathematics in the following years. My love for mathematics just doesn't seem to go away...
