    English and Math for Prep Tests (TOEFL/GRE), Academic English, Portuguese (native speaker)

    I offer classes for two different groups:
    - Young adults preparing for TOEFL/GRE with sessions focused on solving exercises from the exams and improving the student's skills
    - Academic English for researchers and people in academia, where we focus on methods, format and language of academic texts. Sessions could be focused on review the student paper

    A little about myself. I am a Researcher. I lived in the USA twice, as an exchange Student at MIT for a year and as a J1 worker at McDonald's for 3 months. I scored 103 and 112 in the two times I did the TOEFL exam, and I scored at the 99% math percentile in my GRE score. I was born in Brazil, and I am a native Portuguese speaker. I have lived in Leuven for five years, so we can communicate in basic Dutch.

    About Me

    I was born and raised in Brazil, but with time I had many opportunities to live abroad and practice languages around the world.
    During my freshman year I decided to work at McDonald's in Alabama to improve my English for three months. Just after that, I also traveled to Zambia for a community building conference to solve local problems with local resources.
    I went to MIT in 2015 as an exchange student due to my experience and worked with MakerNurse doing research in electronics for healthcare.
    Now, after my Master's in Electronic Engineering I moved to Leuven to pursue my Ph.D. in state-of-the-art electronics at Imec.

    - Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (Bachelors - 8.4/10.0)
    - Massachusets Institute of Technology (exchange student - 4.9/5.0)
    - Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Ph.D. student - current)

    Experience / Qualifications

    Complete BA degree and Master's degree in Engineering.
    Two publications in International conferences.
    Currently pursing a Ph.D. at Imec

    Mathematics Lessons in English for Primary and Secondary School
    With 4 years of experience teaching mathematics to students from 1st to 12th grade, I specialize in making math not only understandable, but genuinely enjoyable. I understand that one of the most common questions students ask is, “How will this help me in real life?” — and I’ve built my teaching approach around answering that. Through practical examples, interactive methods, and real-life applications, I help students see the relevance of math in their daily lives. Whether your child needs help building a strong foundation or tackling advanced topics, I offer personalised guidance that meets them at their level and helps them grow. Let’s make math make sense — and maybe even fun! I offer my sessions both in English and Turkish.

    Arina
    (Private) Mathematics tutoring for secondary school students
    - As for the lessons. The lessons are about mathematics of secondary education. More specifically, I will assist in the theoretical processing of mathematics as its application (the exercises). In addition, I will provide additional study material (aids, schedules, ...) if necessary. - Way of handling. I would like to have an overview in advance of the study material, the tests or tasks in which certain problems are visible, .... This way I can prepare the lessons in advance and focus on the problem. In addition, I can estimate / determine his / her level in this way. I try, in a simple way and for the student in an understandable way, to explain the course in a different way so that this is clear to the student. Afterwards I like to enjoy the results. - Why am I doing this? Math is a passion of mine and for me there is nothing more fun than sharing my passion. Unfortunately, my love for mathematics is not part of my studies and that is why I like to do this as a hobby and as an extra income. Of course I work professionally. - Experiences? I love nothing more than tutoring my fellow students about the subject matter. This is appreciated by them. Of course I also have experience in tutoring mathematics of both primary and secondary education. - Who am I? My name is Arina and I study law. I am 25 years old, live and live in a room in Leuven. In secondary school itself, I had a traumatic experience in the first and second year of secondary school for the subject of mathematics. I found it very interesting but I just couldn't understand it. During these years I had the same teacher who did not teach me the material in a way that was, for me, correct. After receiving tutoring (mandatory by my parents), my interest in mathematics increased so much that I started studying economics mathematics in the following years. My love for mathematics just doesn't seem to go away...

    Lucas
    Mathematics and Science for Secondary Education
    Mathematics and science subjects can weigh heavily on your study career during secondary education. It is therefore important to perform well on this. This can be a challenge for many students, especially in the third grade. In my lesson I try to explain the subject matter to students based on their own course, my old course and extra exercises. The ultimate goal is that the students gain a better understanding of their course.

    François
    Tutoring Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics and French region of Leuven (secondary)
    I am a student of TEW at the KULeuven and would like to offer my services to high school students who could use some help outside of school hours. Together with my students, I look for the right study approach to fully understand the courses and I try to present the subject matter in a different way so that my students gain more insight into the subject matter. I myself graduated from the Sint-Albertuscollege in Haasrode with a degree in science mathematics (6 hours) and I was raised perfectly bilingual (Dutch-French). I have several years of experience with tutoring, both to children in the 2nd year of high school and to children who are at the end of their high school and will soon be making the transition to further studies. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or are interested.

    Gauthier
    Mathematics, French, Dutch, Scientific subjects, Economics and guidance during studies
    I studied Latin Sciences at the Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege in Brussels and I am currently in my 1st Master in Business Economics at the KUL. Mathematics, science subjects, and languages can be challenging. I therefore offer my services to provide additional support to students in secondary school. Together with my students, I go over the course material, do sufficient exercises and discuss with them what the right study approach is. My goal is for them to master their learning material well and ultimately achieve a good end result. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions!

    Jayakrishnan
    Math, Physics, Science, Computer Science, Electronics
    I believe that knowledge is built from basics and deep understanding of concepts with practicality. Any concept learnt with practical application is more important than theoretical knowledge and worth in the long term. With this in mind you can expect me to deliver information in a simple and effective manner for better understanding.

    Flavian
    Mathematics Tutoring - High school / University level
    As a student in a Master's degree in Mathematics, I offer help in the deep understanding of various subjects. I believe that intuition is the most important tool in mathematics and its development deserves our full attention. Whether it's in the math fundamentals we face in high school or the abstract tools we encounter in university, it's always possible to find that magical moment where everything seems so obvious. It is the so called "stupid questions" that are the most important.

    Catalin
    Mathematics (at all levels) and high-school Physics. SAT, GRE, and GMAT exam preparation.
    Experienced teacher (international schools and private tutoring) with a Master's degree in Mathematics, currently doing a Master's in Statistics at KU Leuven. I adapt that lecture to the specific needs of the student based on their knowledge and grasp of the concepts. I like to develop analytical and scientific ability along with knowledge in my students, and for that, I use a combination of resources in the form of worksheets, class tasks, and past papers. Last, I believe in the strong ethic of providing feedback to the parents, so that they are aware of their child’s progress.

    Viktor
    Mathematics for school students, test preparation and math competitions
    Hi🇺🇦! I have a powerful ability kindly explain hard math rules and usually people with a math anxiety tend to feel safe on my math sessions. I would like to share my deep knowledge with more advanced students (math competitions, preparing for exams) as well. Firstly, we will make a short survey to see in which areas you need a help. After that I will make a plan for our study and give you my feedback. I’ve been teaching math online via zoom for 2 years, therefore I have enough expertise to do it perfect. So, contact me if you need some math help. I believe I could help you!

    Michaela
    Science project / career guidance for motivated elementary & high school students
    Are you making decisions about your further career and are you thinking of becoming a scientist? Do you want to know how academia works and whether it would be a good fit for you? Or do you just want to work on science projects for fun and attend science competitions? Have you possibly already prepared a science project, but you wonder what to do with it and how to present your work in form of posters or research papers at science events? If you are a motivated student, I am willing to provide consultations and advice in these areas. I have attended many various science competitions and olympiads during my high school, I have studied science & technology at the university level (Aerospace Engineering) and now I am doing a Ph.D. in mathematics.

    Dylan
    Mathematics and Physics tutoring (high school - university level)
    I am an Oxford Physics graduate with two years experience as a private tutor, teaching students Mathematics and Physics (Primarily for UK A-level). I have also helped students in the past in preparing for entrance exams and interviews for top UK universities such as Oxford, Cambridge and Imperial College London. My tutoring style works on the spirit of cooperation, we will work on problems and examples together, with lots of discussion and additional questions to help the student build enough confidence to tackle problems by themselves. I will then set students homework to complete by themselves based on the tutorials, to reinforce the concepts introduced there.
