Reviews (1)
Michael has been a great teacher to our son for the past three months and we thoroughly recommend him based on our experience. His practical approach and friendly style made it easy for our son to quickly connect.
What separates high achievers from low achievers is their fluency in Mathematics. Mathematics is a language. If you are fluent in a language, you don't need a dictionary and can conjure up a sentence using your knowledge of nouns, verbs and adjectives.
Mathematics is similar. If you can remember the laws and equations, your fluency and final grades increase.
For example, do you use a dictionary when you speak your native tongue? Imagine if you don't need your formula sheet in mathematics.
Those who are fluent in a language are more confident in speaking it. This is the same with mathematics.
What these lessons do:
1. Identify the foundational gaps
2. Support and develop student's fluency
3. Increase their predicted grade
My past two schools in Hong Kong averaged IB scores of 41. These are the best in the world. In GCSE, a student was never predicted below a 6. I have a Master in Aerospace Engineering and a Master in Education. I was previously a qualified teacher in Hong Kong for 5 years before moving to Spain. I want to use my skills to help.

With my experience and skills, it will be possible for you to learn from a basic level to a high level. Taking grammar and the structure of the language as a base. Later, expand vocabulary, listen to material to educate the ear and finally write and speak orally. If you need to practice the language and not go into a specific topic, it is also possible.

Jaime Eduardo
English Language and Spanish Literature. Students, especially high school and high school studentsThe objective to follow in these individual classes is to instruct the student both from a basic level and even if they already have certain knowledge and guide them on the learning ramp. My experience lies, to a greater extent, in dealing with ESO and Baccalaureate students. Therefore, I include as something fundamental the completion of the corresponding daily tasks and the weekly evaluation of what was learned throughout it. All this transmitted closely and without saturation. I instruct both those who just want to pass their exams, keep up with their homework and pass, as well as those who want to learn the language.

We will work on the different points that the student wants to improve and reinforce.
