Math for Ages 10–18: Catch Up, Get Ahead, Prep for Exams & Olympiads

From 66 C$ /h

Math can feel confusing, stressful or just boring – until it suddenly clicks. In these online lessons I help students aged 10–18 truly understand math instead of memorising steps, so they feel confident in class, in tests and in exams.

WHO THIS CLASS IS FOR
• Students who need to catch up and fill gaps
• Students who are doing well and want more challenge
• Students preparing for tests, exams or math competitions such as Math Kangaroo

WHAT WE CAN WORK ON
• Numbers, fractions, percentages and ratios
• Algebra: equations, functions and graphs
• Geometry and trigonometry
• Probability and statistics
• Olympiad-style problems and logical thinking

I follow your school's curriculum (Finnish national curriculum, IB or IGCSE) and happily work with your own textbook and homework.

HOW LESSONS WORK
1. First lesson: a short diagnostic to find gaps and agree on goals
2. A personal plan with small, achievable steps
3. Each lesson: clear explanation → solving together → solving independently → quick recap
4. Short practice between lessons, with feedback
5. Regular progress updates for parents

WHY LEARN WITH ME
I'm an engineer and STEM educator, so I love showing where math is really used – in technology, data, AI and solar energy. Students start to see math as a useful tool, not just a school subject. I'm patient, and every question is welcome.

About Me

Hi, I'm Maria, an engineer and STEM teacher based in the Helsinki region.

I work in data analytics and sustainable energy and I'm doing a PhD in software engineering, so math, data and code are part of my everyday work. That's what I bring to my lessons: real examples of how these subjects are used outside the classroom.

My teaching style: I start from where the student is, explain things clearly and step by step, and make sure they understand the "why", not just the "how". Mistakes are welcome, they show us what to work on next. Lessons are structured but friendly, and I like each one to end with something the student can be proud of.

I teach math (ages 10–18), Python programming, and AI & machine learning for teens. Lessons are in English.

Python for Teens & Adults: From Zero to Games, Data & AI Projects

66 C$ /h

Learn real Python – the language used by engineers, data analysts and AI developers – step by step, from your first line of code to your own projects. Lessons are fully personalised, so they work just as well for a curious teenager as for an adult starting from zero.

WHO THIS CLASS IS FOR
• Teens (13+) who want to learn real coding, need help with programming at school, or are ready to move on from Scratch
• Adult beginners – for a career change, for work, or simply out of curiosity
• Anyone who wants to understand how data analysis and AI work in practice

WHAT WE LEARN
• Programming basics: variables, conditions, loops and functions
• Lists, dictionaries, text and files
• Problem solving and debugging – thinking like a programmer
• Working with data: tables, charts and simple analysis (pandas, matplotlib)
• Automating everyday tasks, e.g. renaming files or processing spreadsheets
• Simple games and graphics (Pygame, Turtle)
• A first look at AI and machine learning

PROJECT EXAMPLES
• A quiz or number-guessing game
• A personal budget or habit tracker
• Charts and insights from a real dataset
• A simple chatbot

HOW LESSONS WORK
1. First lesson: a short chat and a mini-task to see your level and goals
2. A personal learning path built around what you need and enjoy – games, data, work tasks or AI
3. Each lesson: new idea → coding together → coding on your own → quick review
4. Small practice tasks between lessons
5. Every project is saved, so you build your own portfolio. For teens, I send regular progress updates to parents.

WHY LEARN WITH ME
I work in data analytics and I'm doing a PhD in software engineering, so code is part of my everyday work. I teach Python and AI to both teenagers and adult beginners, and I explain things in plain language, without jargon, at your pace.

Before booking, send me a message about your experience and what you'd like to learn or build (parents: please add the student's age) – I'll prepare a first project for you.

AI & Machine Learning for Teens & Adults: Build Your First Models in Python

75 C$ /h

How does a machine actually learn? In these online lessons you'll find out by building your own machine learning models in Python – step by step, with clear explanations, lots of visuals and real data. The math is explained intuitively, and if you want to go deeper, we can.

• Teens (13+) who are curious about AI and want to go beyond just using AI apps
• Adults who want to understand AI and machine learning for work, studies or a career change
• Students working on school projects, science competitions or university applications in AI and data
Basic Python is helpful. New to Python? We can start with a short Python crash course, or with my Python class.

WHAT WE LEARN
• How machine learning works: data, training, testing and predictions
• Working with data in Python: pandas, charts, cleaning data
• Classic models with scikit-learn: regression, classification, decision trees, clustering
• Evaluating models: accuracy, overfitting, and why models make mistakes
• Introduction to neural networks and image recognition
• How large language models like ChatGPT work – in simple terms
• AI ethics: bias, fairness, privacy and responsible use

PROJECT EXAMPLES
• Predict solar power production from weather data
• Teach a computer to recognise handwritten digits

• Find patterns in a real dataset of your choice

HOW LESSONS WORK
1. First lesson: a short chat about your goals and a quick check of your Python level
2. A personal plan – theory in small portions, always followed by hands-on coding
3. Each lesson: idea → coding together → your own experiment → quick review
4. Every project is saved, so you build a portfolio for school, university applications or job interviews
5. For teens, I send regular progress updates to parents

WHY LEARN WITH ME
I hold a Master's degree in Big Data Analytics, work in data analytics and sustainable energy, and I'm doing a PhD in software engineering. I teach AI and machine learning to teenagers and adults, and I love turning complex ideas into simple, visual explanations.

Before booking, send me a message about your Python experience and what you'd like to achieve (parents: please add the student's age), I'll suggest a plan for the first lesson.

The courses of Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology of the French or European French or English programs (Secondary or university levels) are given by explanations either in depth or by a rapid course and summary of essential need according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or by evaluations and exams from other high schools.
My experience is too long and for years, I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students.
I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.

Mathematics and physics are the fundamental tools we use to decode the Universe. Mastering math from the very beginning unlocks the logic behind how the world works, rather than just how to solve specific problems. In my classes, we bridge the gap between abstract theory and real-world application, transforming complex equations into practical, problem-solving skills.

Hi, I am Swarna, an international student doing my master's in Mathematics at Aalto University.

I did a four years research degree in mathematics for my undergraduate studies in India and have been tutoring students ranging from grade 10-12 and year 1-3 of undergrads in mathematics, more specifically in subjects like Real Analysis, Calculus, Linear Algebra, etc., for the more advanced students.

I have great one on one experience and will prioritize the understanding of the student and build their basic logical reasoning skills and inculcate how to translate that to mathematical writing so that they will feel confident when faced with mathematical and other logic problems they encounter.
