Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Mavi
Science and math tutoring for primary and secondary school students
I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company. I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 9 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools. Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments. As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am. Are you curious about how nature works? Let's explore together!

Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease!

Mathematics for younger kids who are willing to improve on their maths skills.
To help children succeed in math, I would focus on creating a structured, engaging, and supportive learning environment that builds their confidence and problem-solving skills. Here’s how I would approach it: Assessing the Child’s Current Level: The first step would be to understand each child’s current abilities, strengths, and areas needing improvement. I would assess their understanding of math fundamentals, such as basic operations, number sense, or algebra, depending on their age and level. Building Strong Foundations: I would ensure that students have a solid grasp of the foundational concepts before moving to more complex topics. This may include reinforcing basic arithmetic, number theory, or explaining core concepts in geometry and algebra clearly. Personalized Learning Plans: Every child learns at a different pace, so I would tailor my lessons to each child's needs. For some, this may mean breaking problems down into smaller, manageable steps, while for others, I might introduce more challenging material to keep them engaged. Making Math Fun and Engaging: I would incorporate games, puzzles, and real-life examples to make math relatable and enjoyable. Interactive learning keeps children engaged and reduces the fear often associated with math. Step-by-Step Problem Solving: I would teach students how to approach math problems methodically by breaking them down into smaller, logical steps. This helps develop critical thinking and enables students to solve even complex problems with confidence. Encouraging a Growth Mindset: Mistakes are part of learning. I would encourage a growth mindset by praising effort over results, showing students that challenges and mistakes help them grow and improve. Regular Practice and Reinforcement: I would provide practice exercises, both during tutoring sessions and as homework, ensuring that students get ample opportunity to reinforce what they’ve learned. Gradual increases in difficulty would help keep them challenged but not overwhelmed. Real-Time Feedback: During lessons, I would provide immediate feedback, correcting errors and explaining where things went wrong. This helps to clear misconceptions right away and solidify understanding. Utilizing Visuals and Manipulatives: I would incorporate visual aids, such as diagrams, charts, and physical objects (manipulatives), especially for younger children. These tools help explain abstract concepts and make math more tangible. Building Confidence and Independence: Over time, I would encourage children to try solving problems on their own. I would gradually reduce assistance as they develop more confidence, allowing them to take ownership of their learning and celebrate their progress. By focusing on these key areas, I aim to make math approachable, enjoyable, and successful for children at any level.
