Experienced academic tutor with 4+ years across international schools, private agencies and diverse curricula, supporting students

From 66 C$ /h

My approach is structured, rigorous and tailored to each student’s level, learning profile and objectives. I work across British, American, Portuguese and international curricula, supporting students at every stage from foundational learning and remediation to advanced study and exam preparation.

My experience spans a wide range of learning profiles, from students requiring substantial academic and cognitive support to highly advanced and high-achieving students. Having worked with ADHD, learning difficulties and developmental or cognitive challenges, as well as students performing significantly above grade level, I am experienced in adapting both the level of support and academic challenge to the individual student.

About Me

I genuinely enjoy working with children and have always had a strong interest in academics and education. Having experienced the education system extensively both as a student and as an educator, I understand its demands from both perspectives.

Tutoring brings these two interests together naturally. I enjoy getting to know each student, understanding how they learn and helping them become more confident and independent academically. I particularly value seeing the progress that comes from consistent support, whether that means overcoming a learning gap, developing stronger study habits or simply becoming more comfortable with a subject.

Education

Bachelors Degree in Applied Mathematics at the Science Faculty, University of Lisbon.

Experience / Qualifications

I have over four years of experience in private academic tutoring, working independently, through private tutoring agencies, and directly within international-school settings.

For the past two years, I have provided one-to-one academic support at United Lisbon International School (ULIS) through its in-school pull-out system. I have also worked with students from Carlucci American International School of Lisbon (CAISL), Park International School, The British School of Lisbon, Salesianos and Colégio Planalto, among others.

My experience covers students from primary through secondary level, including IB, British, American, Portuguese and other international curricula. I have supported students ranging from those requiring significant foundational or remedial support to highly advanced and high-achieving students.

My main areas are Mathematics, English and Portuguese, with experience in subject tutoring, exam preparation, learning-gap intervention, study strategies and broader academic support.

Portuguese teacher, graduated in Communication Sciences, offers Portuguese courses for all levels and different ages.
My goal is to make the student progress in his ability to communicate in Portuguese, in writing and orally, by adapting his needs and his pace of learning.
These courses will also be an excellent tool to get to know Portuguese culture and the country better.

With over 18 years of experience, I offer private lessons in Mathematics, Analysis, Matrices, Statistics, Algebra, Geometry, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Geology to students following the French curriculum (Terminales, Baccalaureate, 1ère, Seconde, Brevet) or international or European (in English) programs, as well as competitive entrance exams and preparatory classes for medical or scientific universities, or first-year university students. Lessons can be given at home or online via a virtual classroom method using a shared interactive whiteboard link and Zoom or WhatsApp for communication (a very modern and effective method). All results are recorded through this method. Alternatively, I can offer face-to-face lessons (depending on the circumstances).
For more information, do not hesitate to contact me, guaranteed response in a few minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

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.

Classes are a mix of grammar, conversation, listening and reading.
Classes can be private or in a group (students need to have the same level).
Main goal is to talk ! Talk about daily routines, food, music, cinema, politicians, about your mother, about your dog, about feelings or just about the weather.

I am a certified Canadian educator, and my teaching experience includes Primary Years Cambridge curriculum in English Language Arts, English Literature, Maths, Humanities and Global Perspectives for both Primary Years (Grades 3,4,6 and Lower Secondary. I also have experience teaching Personal, Social, Health Education (PSHE) as well as Physical Education, and life skills for classes in both Primary, Lower and Upper Secondary.

My education philosophy is rooted in pedagogy which is focused on the empowerment of children, teachers and parents to support the full development of children and assist in maintaining a joyful environment in which children can thrive, learn and realize their potential in a fun way.

Why is this important? Well, firstly, a happier childhood in which children are equipped with a keen sense of themselves can help them to better transition into adulthood.

What I have realized is that a balance is required between academic learning and life skills which includes social, emotional learning. My work involves supporting a teaching approach which focuses on student and parent engagement working together to support the child's individual needs. In the classroom, it is supporting children to be engaged and motivated learners by focusing on a truly student-centered approach at their pace and level of understanding and moving towards their learning goals step by step. This approach not only builds tremendous self-confidence but also boosts the child's understanding that they are cared for and their personal identity is more than just their academic abilities; supporting the whole development of the child.

Upon recently completing a Masters of Arts in Childhood studies and Early Years, my autoethnographic dissertation on supporting well-being in international schools with third culture kids demonstrates that there is a need for a new approach towards well-being in schools. Well-being support is necessary for all children and cannot be compartmentalized but requires an integrated and unique approach.

The goal of my teaching approach is to support students to have a happy childhood by helping schools to support their student’s well-being in a more integrated and engaging way since our approaches towards children greatly impacts their personal development.

Hello!

My name is Alexandre, and I offer private tutoring in Mathematics and Physics-Chemistry in Lisbon.

I am a French student in Computer Science and Engineering at the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) in Lisbon. Before coming to Portugal, I studied engineering at Centrale Nantes, with a strong background in mathematics and applied mathematics.

I adapt to the level and objectives of each student.
The goal is not simply to solve the exercises for him/her, but to enable him/her to understand the concepts, acquire good methods and gradually gain autonomy.
Therefore, I favour an approach based on explanation, practice and problem-solving.
I am available all week depending on your availability and can travel anywhere in Lisbon.

Feel free to contact me for more information or to arrange a first lesson.

See you soon!
