About Me

I am a mathematician based in the Netherlands (Amsterdam area), holding a PhD at Vrije Universiteit, with a significant academic experience (both research and teaching).

I also have experience with private tutoring. I can cover a wide range of high level math (related) topics (at BSc and MSc level), as well as assisting Master students in applying mathematical / statistical research methods and tools in their master projects in full compliance with the academic standards.

My primary focus is to help students overcome their math anxiety - which is one of the main reasons for students' lack of self confidence/initiative - and put them "on track" for individual study. For the more advanced students, I am looking to stimulate investigation skills required for a thorough understanding of the study subject.

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

Maths is a subject that requires clarity of concepts. Sometimes it happens that our basic concepts are not clear thats why we are not able to solve questions efficiently. I'll be discussing with you where exactly you are, will come to your level, and then take you up with me from there.
I am a teacher with whom you can ask any basic silly concept to any complex one.

COURSE OUTLINE:
* Foundation of Mathematics
* Basic concepts in Mathematics
* Algebra and Trigonometry
* Elementary statistics
* Modern Geometry
* Calculus
* Differential Equations
This is an outline of the course. Apart from this, if you have any doubt on any particular topic, you can obviously clear that concept with me.

Let's start and make it fun.

There is something that Math, Chemistry, and Spanish have in common: They can give you a very bad time if you do not understand the good.
This is where I come in. Since I was a kid I struggled with those areas. But when I learned them correctly, I loved them. I loved math and chemistry so much that I decided to study Chemical Engineering.
Contact me if you want to quickly learn math, chemistry, physics, and/or Spanish.

Welcome Student,

As a graduate of the Bachelor's program in Mathematics and Computer Science and the Master's program in Mathematics, I've noticed that many students struggle with many subjects. These are often also the most crucial for their progress, as many future courses build on them. If you're a Bachelor's student facing the same challenge, you've come to the right place. We'll review the material together and work towards your exams, so you can confidently take them.

From a 'birds-eye view', many of these courses clearly have specific types of assignments that you must be able to pass your exam. We pick out these kinds of assignments and we will train you together in order to master them. In addition, we will counteract your weaknesses by going through assignments and theory about it.

To give you a clear idea of which courses I've taken and how I can help you, I've included a list of my completed university courses below (all with a grade of 7 or higher). Note that I studied in Utrecht myself, so your courses may be titled differently.

Do you hate math or do complex mathematical formulas make no sense to you? No worries, that is what I am for. I hated math when I was a teenager, considered it a boring subject of numbers. When I learnt mathematics, I discovered that it is a language of nature that most of school teachers fail to demonstrate. So, I am not only going to teach you mathematics, but will also make you love the subject.

The class will be tailored to the need of a student.

I believe anyone can learn math. And with an average rating of 8.5 for my exam training at, among others, lyceo, I have experienced a lot of others doing the same.

We usually start with some (simple) exercises around the subject to gauge your understanding. This way I can construct a tailor-made approach that guarantees you will see the light. There are, of course, no real guarantees in education. But I can guarantee that after every hour of tutoring, you will be a little closer to the math genius that you really are.

In addition, in the past two years, I have gained a lot of experience in online education. I now have a drawing tablet, an iPad, and an external microphone (worth 300 euros) to be able to deliver the best experience online.

All levels are welcome, all ages. bring it on!

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!

If you are struggling with a specific subject, we can look together at what you are good at and what we can best focus on during the sessions. A few subjects that I have coached students in in the past are: mathematics, business economics, economics, arithmetic, accounting/accountancy, cost accounting, managerial accounting, financial accounting, corporate finance, risk management and investments. I give tips on which information is most important, how you can best prepare for the subject, and how you can best read test questions. This method has proven to be very effective!

During my sessions I coach almost everyone! From pupils at the vmbo to (almost) graduates at the university, in all financial-economic subjects. Because of this I have developed a coaching structure that is effective, efficient, and fun.

During exam training I work with old exams with a focus on the latest developments in the field. In this way I ensure that students get a good grip on the exam material and enter the exams with confidence. During the training I teach the students how an exam is structured so that they feel familiar with the final exam.

Tutoring or homework support are designed in consultation. Some pupils or students benefit from doing assignments together, while others need more explanation of the theory.

Many students lose confidence in math during the school year due to stress, fast-paced classes, or gaps in understanding.
This summer program helps students rebuild confidence, strengthen fundamentals, and prepare calmly for the next academic year.

This program is designed for students who want to:
- catch up on difficult topics
- prepare for the next school year
- improve grades and confidence
- build strong problem-solving skills
- prepare for exams and entrance tests

Lessons are adapted individually for each student and explained step-by-step in a clear and patient way.
I focus not only on solving exercises, but also on helping students truly understand concepts and think independently.

After the first lesson, I create a personalized study plan based on the student’s level, goals, and areas that need improvement. Lessons are interactive, organized, and supportive, with homework and additional practice materials when needed.
Suitable for:
- Middle school students
- High school students
- IB students
- Students preparing for exams

! ! ! Summer availability is limited to ensure individual attention for each student.
