Become Fluent in Mathematics and Increase your Expected Grade

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.

Asdrúbal
School Support for Mathematics (ESO and Baccalaureate) and University (1st YEAR)
Five years of experience in the mission of providing school support to ESO or Baccalaureate students (Sciences or Applied Social Sciences), first-year university students and students of the IGCSE, Alevel and IB programs (Ed Excel or Cambridge), In addition to the classes themselves, I offer permanent online support for students' queries via WhatsApp (especially important during study periods prior to exams), guidance in the use of technological tools (programs, videos or web pages) that can contribute to improving the student's training in Mathematics. We educate to train the student in Mathematics. University courses I have recently provided support for: Business Mathematics for students from IE, Rey Juan Carlos University, European University of Madrid, CUNEF and Carlos III. I also provide support for the programs of Probabilities and Statistics, Financial Mathematics and Mathematical Programming (experience with students from the School of Economics of the Autonomous University of Madrid).

Enrique Verdeguer
Mathematics for high school students of any level
Hello! My name is Enrique. I am a Journalism student and I am here to reinforce any needs you have with your Mathematics classes. I am always attentive and willing to work to improve the aspects that you need to address in more depth, and to further improve everything that you are already good at. I am very good at mathematics and working together I am sure you will improve in a very short time.

Pilar Segovia
Reinforcement of school classes: preparation for exams, help with homework and reinforcing doubts about the subject.
My classes are dynamic, well organized and prepared. I adapt to the student's taste, depending on their priorities and aspects that they want to emphasize more about the certain subject. We will work on the different points that the student wants to improve and reinforce.

Verónica
All subjects from 1st - 6th of Primary Education
I am studying 3rd year of Primary and Early Childhood Education, at the Pontifical University of Comillas. Since first I have been doing internships. I have taught all the Primary Education courses. I am getting the C1 in English this year. The methodology that I am using right now with the children is quite dynamic and playful. But at the same time the child is learning. I always make use of new technologies as long as I do not stop using the traditional method, of pencil and paper. I believe that not only children have to adapt to us but we should adapt to them. Each one is a totally different world. I have a lot of patience, it is one of my virtues and I am not worried about having to explain a content 3 times, if I see that the child also does his / her part. I have chosen the career of Teaching by vocation, since I was little I have always wanted to be a teacher. Right now I am doing my internship at the Fray Luis de León school, teaching children in the 6th grade of Primary Education. I have taught children in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and currently 6th. I would have no problem doing the classes online. I would only need to know a little about the child, about the parents, so that I can have the opportunity to meet them in turn that they have the opportunity to meet me. The price would already be seen. Depending on everything a little. Thank you very much for the time you are spending reading this. Greetings, Verónica Gil Merchán.

Marta
Support classes / English for beginners or advanced.
I have experience as a private class teacher (if they need it I can give references), being able to teach mathematics, language arts, English, physical economy and chemistry at all ages. Also, my level of English is C2, so teaching this language (or giving the classes in English) would not be a problem. I really like children, and I get along very well with them, and of course with people closer to my age as well. If necessary, she could partially babysit after class. Everything preferably in the afternoon / weekend. I hope I can be of help!

I am Sara, graduated in economics-mathematics and statistics. I have been teaching private classes in science, economics and syntax subjects for six years with good results, and I also teach courses in education, tourism, economics, engineering, etc. related to mathematics. I also help elementary school children with homework. I consider myself a dynamic, hard-working and patient person. For me it is very important to transmit my passion for science and teaching. Before starting I like to know the difficulties in deciding how to approach the classes in a personalized way because each student is different.

Raef
Private lessons in Math, Physics - Chemistry, Biology
Experienced college graduate teacher. of Science and College. de Médecine de France gives private lessons in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Physics - Chemistry - Biology of French, Quebec CEGEP or International programs (in English) to students of secondary classes, Terminales, Brevet, Concours and classes university preparatory courses for the academic year 2022/2023. So that I can help students who follow CNED and those who prepare for SAT exams. The lessons will take place either at home or online by a very modern specific method of shared interactive whiteboard equipped with writing tools where I can with the student write and correct the homework by exposing them directly more than Zoom or Skype to communicate (Very practical method like at home). Results of my online students since Terminale 2015 were with VERY GOOD, GOOD AND EXCELLENT honors. Contact me for more details.

Benoit
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.

Amine
Mathematics and Physics-Chemistry courses on Zoom (high school, maturity, bachelor's degree, etc.)
I am a young, passionate teacher with great ease in the areas of mathematics and physics-chemistry. My teaching method is distinguished by my patience and my dedication to the success of my students. I love feeling useful by helping others understand and master sometimes complex concepts. My sense of humor and my youth are also assets that allow me to create a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere during classes. I firmly believe that learning is most effective when students feel comfortable and confident. I am therefore committed to creating a learning environment where my students feel encouraged to ask questions and explore new concepts. My top priority is the success of my students. I am committed to providing personalized support and adapting my teaching methods according to the specific needs of each student. I am patient and persistent, and I am willing to explain concepts as many times as necessary until they are fully understood. Whether you need help solving complex math problems or understanding the fundamentals of physics and chemistry, I'm here to support you throughout your learning journey.

Arianit
Mathematics (Applied Math, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Geometry, IBM Exams, Entrance Exams): Primary/High School/Bachelor/Master Students
Mathematics is all about learning basic elements with which you can create explosions, interactions and much more desired computations. It is the heart of every science known and without it, even the text that I am writing right now would not work (recall binary numbers). I have always been passionate about Math and during primary and high school I attended many Regional Math Olympiads where I usually won the top 5 places. During this period, I got the chance to be trained by university professors and gained knowledge of many complex math concepts at a really young age. This made it possible for me to afterward be able to explain these concepts in a brief and clear manner to my fellow students. I aspire to visualize everything with everyday life and when students see this connection, the puzzle is finally solved. We can cover all of the branches of mathematics together at the desired level and degree level. Starting from Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, Probability, Trigonometry and much more, we will build that mathematic intuition in no time!

Salah Eddine
Math support courses for high school students (Science Maths, Science Exp, Letters ...)
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.
