Math or Programming. Recommended to grasp essential base concepts
From 36.51 C$ /h
The first thing I do when I start to work with anyone, is to understand what they can already do, and what they can't. Afterwards we'll train every step of the way to excel at each step and have a strong foundation to work with when solving bigger problems.
Above all, the belief that everyone has within them the capacity to understand what was already understood by others. The only factor that distinguishes students is the will they have to learn. With that in mind, it is also my responsibility, as a tutor, to keep them engadged and motivated. As Plato once said, "Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds". And that is my main objective.
To keep the learning on a good upward path, there should be no reservation in testing the student's capacities at any given time, and if all goes well, it will be like a game that will spark a desire to grow and achieve more difficult tasks constantly reenforcing previously acquired skills.

About Me
Hello!
I am an 18 year old Portuguese student of Computer Science in the Queen Mary University of London. I am very passionate about mathematics, and I've always been very happy to be able to help others understand what I already know. From a very young age , I gained the habit of trying to understand things taught in class to then explain to my friends the best way I could. I don't know how to evaluate my own explanations, but the truth is more and more people started to come back to me with questions, so I figured I was saying the right things :)
Fast forward a few years and I was even asked to volunteer in tutoring among other more professional tutors, and even some of my old teachers! I took it and for the past three years I've taken tutoring a bit more seriously, tutoring kids from as young as 9 years old to helping colleagues my age.
