I offer private math tutoring for students from 6th to 9th grade, covering the entire middle school curriculum. Whether it's understanding lessons, doing homework, preparing for a test, or revising for the Brevet exam, I adapt to each student's level and needs.
The topics covered include:
- Calculations and numbers: whole numbers and decimals, fractions, relative numbers, order of operations, powers, divisibility and prime numbers.
- Algebraic calculation: literal expressions, expansion, reduction, factorization and equations.
- Proportionality: tables of proportionality, percentages, scales, speeds and compound quantities.
- Geometry: parallel and perpendicular lines, triangles, quadrilaterals, circle, symmetry, translations, rotations and homotheties.
- Theorems: Pythagorean theorem, Thales' theorem and their converses.
- Trigonometry: sine, cosine and tangent in the right triangle.
- Functions: linear and affine functions, tables of values, graphs and reading curves.
- Statistics and probabilities: mean, median, range, frequencies and probability calculations.
- Quantities and measurements: perimeters, areas, volumes, unit conversions and volumes of solids.
- Algorithms: introduction to programming and use of Scratch.
- Preparation for the brevet exam: review of important concepts, typical exercises and problems.
The lessons are tailored to each student's level, with clear explanations, simple examples, and step-by-step solutions to exercises. The goal is to solidify foundational skills, progress in mathematics, and build confidence throughout the school year.
