Graduate bioengineer (UCLouvain & KU Leuven) – Courses in biology, chemistry, mathematics and science

From 49 C$ /h

Having graduated with a bachelor's degree in bioengineering from UCLouvain and a master's degree in Human Health Engineering from KU Leuven, I offer private science lessons for secondary school students and students at the beginning of higher education.

Passionate about science, and particularly biology, I enjoy sharing my knowledge and helping students understand subjects that can sometimes seem complex.

**My method is based primarily on understanding rather than memorization.** I prioritize discussions, questions, and exercises to allow each student to develop their own reasoning and gain autonomy.

I adapt to the level, difficulties and objectives of each individual, whether it is to review the basics, to delve deeper into certain concepts or to prepare for an exam.

I offer courses in biology, biochemistry, chemistry, mathematics and physics, depending on the level and subjects to be covered.

In order to offer quality support, I also take the time to prepare my sessions according to the student's needs.

Courses can be given in French or English, including via webcam.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your expectations and the materials to be worked on!

Extra information

To best prepare for our first session, please feel free to tell me in advance which subjects and chapters you need to work on, any difficulties you may have, and your objectives.

You can also send me your syllabus, exercises or past exams so that I can adapt the courses to your needs.

About Me

I base my lessons on asking questions so that the student understands for themselves. I am motivated and ready to help students reach a good level of comprehension. I will do my best to make the subject enjoyable for the student.

Education

I spent all my school years at Providence de Champion. I then started a bioengineering degree. I failed a year, which can actually be an advantage when it comes to understanding a struggling student.

Experience / Qualifications

I will soon graduate with a degree in bioengineering. I am starting to teach my first classes. I am very motivated and enjoy interacting with people.

- What do the lessons entail?
The tutoring focuses on mathematics in secondary education. I help students understand both the theory and its practical application in exercises. If necessary, I provide additional study materials, such as diagrams, summaries, or resources, to clarify the material.

- My approach
I would appreciate receiving an overview of the study material, tests, or assignments in advance that present difficulties. This allows me to properly prepare the lessons and focus on the student's specific needs. This also allows me to better assess the level.

During tutoring, I try to explain the material in a simple and understandable way, often from a different perspective than in the classroom. My goal is for the student to truly understand the material and gain more confidence. Seeing progress and achieving results together gives me great satisfaction.

- Why do I tutor?
Mathematics has always been a great passion of mine. Although my current studies no longer revolve around it, I still enjoy pursuing it. Tutoring is therefore an ideal combination of hobby and extra income for me. Naturally, I always work in a professional and structured manner.

- Experience
Since 2018, I've been tutoring students of various ages, both in primary and secondary education. I also regularly help fellow students with their learning material, which is always a positive experience.

- Who am I?
My name is Arina, I am 27 years old and I study law. I live and study in Leuven, where I also have a student room.

I'm an approachable, enthusiastic, and open person. This helps me quickly build trust, so students feel comfortable and confident asking questions. They know they can contact me outside of tutoring sessions if they get stuck on an exercise, and they often continue to do so afterward.

During my own high school years, I struggled with math in my first and second grades. Although I found the subject interesting, I struggled to fully grasp the material because the explanations didn't align with my learning style.

When I started tutoring (at my parents' insistence), my perspective on mathematics completely changed. My interest grew so strongly that I later pursued a degree in economics and mathematics. My love for mathematics has remained ever since.

Because math wasn't a part of my further studies, I decided to tutor myself. This way, I can share my enthusiasm and help students develop the confidence I once had to build.

Maths and statistics can be scary but they are undoubtedly extremely important. Unfortunately, students often feel overwhelmed with technical terminology and formulas that apparently are of no use. My goal is to demystify mathematics and statistics, making them closer to your daily life and/or area of expertise. Discipline, accessibility, and (why not?) a bit of fun are key factors to an effective and long-lasting learning process!

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.

Mathematics and Physics tutoring for secondary and primary education (also at home). Master Commercial Engineer KUL with a Science-Mathematics-8 and Civil Engineering background.

ABOUT THIS LESSON:
I offer tutoring in Python programming and mathematics for university and college students. I also support secondary school and primary school students in all scientific subjects.

I start by (if available) using your old tests to determine together with you (and possibly your parents) what specific difficulties you have. In addition, we will have a short conversation in which you can explain to me which issues you have experienced as the most difficult and would like to focus more on.

My focus is on ensuring that the student is able to find the solution independently, step by step, and I help where necessary by providing mini-tips to get to the next step together. This makes my method much more personalized than standard classroom teaching. When I notice that a student has difficulty independently coming up with the correct editing steps, I create a concise step-by-step plan tailored to that specific subject so that the student begins to see more structure in the learning material. At the same time, I ensure that the underlying theory is thoroughly understood by linking it to self-invented exercises and practical examples from the student's personal environment, which makes learning easier and more lasting.

ABOUT NICK:
I am a 22-year-old master's student in Commercial Engineering at KU Leuven. I started tutoring my sister, nephews, nieces and friends and I get a lot of satisfaction from improving and helping others when they come to me for help.

Because I have been tutoring consistently for 4 years, I have the right resources to present learning material in an understandable way and to strengthen the motivation, concentration and independent study of my students. In addition, I have a lot of experience with children and didactic teaching techniques from my tennis initiator diploma. Ranging from first to sixth secondary school, from 2 hours to 6 hours of mathematics per week and everything in between, I have guided students of all directions and levels, with a successful outcome every time.

I don't give up until I'm sure a student understands the material well enough and I see them making progress. By always appearing enthusiastic, I ensure that together we do not let the drudgery of difficult subjects get any further than the school desks.

I am flexible in making appointments and am open to every student. This can be done at a fixed time every week or lesson by lesson. I provide tutoring at your home (I can travel by car), at my home (Kampenhout), in my student room (Leuven) or online.

If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss the practicalities in more depth. Together we can both make a schedule and work lesson by lesson to achieve your personal academic goals or those of your child.

Hello! My name is Tibo and I tutor math to high school students.
In secondary school, I followed the Industrial Sciences track with 8 hours of mathematics, after which I also studied for two years at KU Leuven, where I came into further contact with higher mathematics and analytical thinking.
I explain mathematics in a calm and understandable way, focusing on understanding rather than mere memorization, as a didactic approach often works much more efficiently. I can explain algebra, functions, geometry, as well as scientific applications.

I provide tutoring in mathematics and science and help students master the material in a clear and understandable way. We first look together at which topics are difficult and then work step-by-step on exercises and understanding. I adapt my explanations to the student's level and pace, so that we can work specifically on building more confidence and achieving better results.

*English version below*

Mathematics only becomes truly manageable when you know how to tackle a problem. I help you solve problems independently, so that you can master your subject, as well as all the mathematics that follows.

My approach

We work through the thinking process together, so you discover the solution yourself. No ready-made answers, but the right questions and hints at the right time. This way, you build the skills and confidence step by step to tackle mathematics independently. Soon, mathematics becomes much less difficult and intimidating, and after a while, even fun!

The power of private lessons is more time and more personalization: your questions, your pace, focus on what you need. A session feels like a collaboration. Thinking out loud, trying something out, making a mistake and starting over: it is all part of the process.

My method is based on insights from learning psychology, in particular the model of cognitive apprenticeship (Collins, Brown & Newman, 1989). The idea is simple: first, I make visible how a mathematician thinks, and then I pass that thought process on to you step by step.

How a lesson proceeds

A standard lesson lasts two hours. True understanding takes time, and two hours gives us the space to thoroughly explore problems. One-hour lessons are also possible upon request.

Before the lesson, send me the questions and exercises you are stuck on. I will prepare them so we can get started right away.

During the lesson, we work through your material together: exercises, theory, and proofs. You think, I provide guidance.

After the lesson, you will receive a concise summary and a few questions to work on yourself.

About me

I am studying mathematics at KU Leuven and previously obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology. I offer support in probability and statistics, (linear) algebra and analysis at the university level, and in all secondary education mathematics. Outside of mathematics, I enjoy bouldering, classical piano, and studying Japanese. I also really love being in nature.

English:

I help you become an independent problem solver. Once you learn how to approach a problem, your course becomes manageable, and so does any mathematics you meet after it.

My philosophy

We work through the thinking process together, and with the right hints and nudges, you will be the one finding the answers! This gives you the tools to do mathematics on your own. As you gain confidence, the subject gets a lot less difficult and intimidating. It will even become fun!

Private tutoring lets me build everything around you: your questions, your pace, your sticking points. Our sessions are a collaboration, two people figuring out the mathematics together, where thinking out loud and trying out ideas is encouraged.

My method is grounded in learning psychology, specifically the framework of cognitive apprenticeship (Collins, Brown & Newman, 1989), which focuses on making expert thinking visible and gradually handing it over to the learner.

A standard session

Sessions last 2 hours by default. Real understanding takes time to build, and a two-hour block gives us room to work through problems in depth. One-hour sessions are possible on request.

Before: you send me the specific questions and problems you've run into. I prepare them in advance, so our time goes to working on them rather than me reading them for the first time.

During: we work through your material together, with you doing the thinking and guiding me. This can be exercises, theory, proofs, etc.

After: you get a written recap of the session plus a few guiding questions to keep you moving in your own study.
