    Using Sagemath, SageTeX, and LaTeX for beginners . . .

    I'm in my fourth decade of teaching mathematics, and I have many prepared materials for self-study, including videos. Ideally, you'll work alone and then reach out for one-on-one help if needed. Just reach out and let me know your level of interest, and I'll arrange a no-cost overview of where you should start.

    LaTeX is an open-source document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing.

    SageMath is an open-source mathematics software system widely popular in the mathematics community.

    The SageTeX package allows you to embed the results of Sage computations into a LaTeX document.

    About Me

    I've been teaching mathematics for almost 35 years. I would love to help others in their journey, including carefully listening to your needs. Yes, I see mathematics or learning in general as a way to create a healthy mind. I am here to help!

    Education

    Bachelor's degree from New York University and two master's degrees from Columbia University. My studies have allowed me many great opportunities, but the most critical aspect of education is that it largely depends on what you do and not what school you attend.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I am an associate professor of mathematics at a two-year community college. Although I love what I do, I am looking for like-minded individuals seeking solace in their academic lives. As I near retirement, my mind needs to engage, and I am hopeful that I will find students interested in learning. Again, I am here to engage with others.
    This course is an extensive treatment of algebra, once the de facto standard in the United States. The material starts with the basics and drills down to reasonably profound ideas. Download the 2500+ page textbook, and you'll get access to all the materials, including solutions and linked videos. If you need additional support, I would be thrilled to help via Zoom/FaceTime/Skype! I am open to helping anyone interested in learning, hoping to find like-minded individuals willing to explore. A mathematical adventure that one can start alone, but you'll always have a companion ready to help.

    Private lessons in Math, Physics, Chemistry and SVT
    The courses of Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology, Geology of the French or European French or English programs (Secondary or university levels) are given by explanations either in depth or by a rapid course and summary of essential need according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or by evaluations and exams from other high schools. My experience is too long and for years, I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students. I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects.

    Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
    I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

    Math support courses for high school students (Science Maths, Science Exp, Letters ...)
    As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material! We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition. The sessions generally take place according to the following stages: 1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps. 2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises. 3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach. 4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively. 5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course. I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach. In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.
