[PT/EN] Master Student at EPFL & ETH Zurich and Tutor for 3 years who is looking to help High School Students with difficulties in Math!

From 73.22 C$ /h

Hi and welcome to this posting! :D

My name is Pedro and I've been tutoring students for the last 3 years.

I have a BSc in Computer Science and Engineering and I am currently studying for a MSc in Cyber Security at EPFL & ETH Zurich.

I love to learn and help others.
For instance, one of the ways I prepared for the Math National Exam was actually by being a tutor to friends who were having many doubts.

I would say my way of explaining is a bit different: I always try to keep people engaged and I don't stop until all the doubts are cleared!

To explain something, I do it in a simple and intuitive way, and I like to come up with funny ways for people to understand the material.

I also create a lot of drawings and figures to make it easier to understand!

I take notes in a writing application and share them at the end of each class.

Extra information

If remote, I have a drawing tablet, so it would be as if we were side by side. In this case, I will share the notes with you, so you can print or consult them online.

I offer support, refresher and advanced courses in mathematics.
I adapt to everyone.
I have a dynamic and pedagogical approach.
My lessons can take place at your home or via a camera that films my writings, as well as a computer camera for videoconferencing. Thus, you can improve your level in mathematics wherever you are, without any geographical constraint, in a fun and effective way.

Acquiring methods, organizing knowledge and reasoning to solve exercises, using memorization techniques are often the important points to develop to enable the student to be independent and achieve their goals.

I am rather open and relaxed, while being precise and rigorous.

I am a secondary school teacher (retraining in 2021) after having been a chemical and textile engineer, and a former student of a preparatory class for the grandes écoles (higher and special maths).

For 12 years, I have been giving individual lessons to students of all levels, and more specifically to students preparing for the French scientific baccalaureate, the international baccalaureate or in cycle.

I offer courses adapted to all levels, whether in college, high school or bachelor's degree. My classes include homework help, exam preparation and in-depth exercises. As a former student who asked a lot of questions himself, I encourage my students to ask as many questions as possible in order to dissipate all gray areas and leave no detail to chance, thus promoting exam success. .
I firmly believe that academic success does not depend on an innate aptitude, but rather on the ability to identify weak points and work on them. As a teacher, I am attentive to these weak points by regularly asking the student questions about the meaning of the exercises and each step of the calculation. I also push my students to develop their intuition so that they can easily adapt to any problem on exam day.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

👨‍🎓 With 4 years of experience in distance learning, I am a mathematics teacher, specialist in support courses and private lessons.
I also teach physics and chemistry as well as science subjects in general.

I hold a Master's degree in Operational Research (Applied Mathematics) and I have been teaching private lessons for more than 3 years, mainly mathematics for College and High School levels.

✏ I have taught students from public, private, French Program (Mission), Belgian, Swiss, Spanish Program (students from the Spanish school who are French or English speaking), American Program...
In short, all French or English programs.

✏ I accompany students from A to Z, in all stages of their learning with a simple, new generation and effective methodology: Course explanation, course summary, deepening application exercises etc...

✏ I prepare for exams and competitions

✏ I help with homework.

✏ My students have all evolved in an extraordinary way and have all achieved their goals. 16, 17, 18, 19 out of 20.

Sessions usually take place as follows:

1️⃣ The first sessions are mainly intended to gauge the level of the student in order to highlight the shortcomings observed.

2️⃣ Then comes the establishment of a plan to fill the gaps: Number of hours of work required, The parts of the lessons to focus on, Several training and development exercises...

3️⃣ We make sure to do all of this while staying up to date with the student's class teacher.

4️⃣ I then provide exams similar to what is likely to be asked in class.

5️⃣ I draw up a report on demand, usually monthly, in order to keep parents informed about their child's level throughout the course.

I also adapt my methodology according to the needs of each student, so everyone has a personalized working method adapted to their needs!

I also do crash courses for those who are preparing for the start of the school year so that they start the year strong 💪 and know the program in advance. 🧠

💭 If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me ;)

My teaching approach is carefully tailored to meet each student’s individual needs. I recognize that every learner has a unique style and pace, and I strive to adapt my methods accordingly. Whether a student requires in-depth explanations of complex theories or concise summaries of key concepts, I ensure that my lessons cater to their specific requirements. This flexibility allows me to build a strong foundation in core concepts while guiding students through practical problem-solving techniques that are essential for mastering the subjects.

In my lessons, I focus not only on helping students grasp the subject matter but also on developing critical thinking and analytical skills. I believe that understanding the "why" behind mathematical and scientific concepts is crucial for long-term retention and application. Therefore, I encourage students to engage in discussions, ask questions, and explore the material deeply. This interactive approach fosters a love for learning and promotes intellectual curiosity, which is vital for success in any academic endeavor.

I offer tutoring sessions in various formats to accommodate different preferences and circumstances. Students can choose in-person sessions at my location or opt for online tutoring using an interactive whiteboard and video platforms like Zoom or Skype. This modern setup provides a seamless learning experience that is just as effective as face-to-face instruction. My goal is to create an engaging and supportive environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing many of my students achieve outstanding results, including grades of "Excellent," "Very Good," and "Good." This success is particularly rewarding when I see students who initially struggled make significant progress. By identifying and addressing their unique learning gaps, I help them develop the confidence and skills necessary to excel in their studies.

I am committed to empowering students with the tools they need to succeed in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. My lessons are designed to demystify complex concepts and make them clear and accessible. I strive to instill a sense of accomplishment in each student, guiding them to reach their maximum potential.

In addition to academic support, I also emphasize the importance of cultivating a growth mindset. I encourage my students to view challenges as opportunities for growth, helping them develop resilience and perseverance that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

If you are seeking a dedicated tutor who can provide personalized support and foster academic excellence, I invite you to reach out. Whether you are a student looking to improve your grades or a parent seeking guidance for your child, I am here to help.

With 7+ years' experience in education, I have coached over 50 students to improve their academic results and boost their confidence in math and physics.

My tutoring services always include a personalized plan for each student. This plan is established during the first session where I like to meet the student, better understand their difficulties and get to know their schedule.

In the first session, we will:

- Get to know each other.
- Understand the student's strengths and identify areas for improvement.
- Understand the student's needs and difficulties.
- Get to know the student's schedule.
- Create a tutoring plan

Typically, sessions take place as follows:
i. Theoretical review of complex concepts in simple terms
ii. Tips for solving problems
iii. Abundance of exercises from my databases (exams, exercises)

If you are interested in my services, please provide the following information when contacting me:

- School system (French Bac, Matu, IB, A-levels)
- Location of tutoring (or video tutoring if applicable)
- Number of sessions per week and preferred days and times of the week (this can also be discussed after the first session, if you prefer)

Check out my profile if you want to know more about me :)

See you soon,
Francisco

Most lessons will start with a discussion before jumping into practice questions and worked examples in a calmer environment than the classroom.

We will discuss what area(s) of Mathematics the student is struggling with, I will then present diagnostic questions to identify the root cause of the confusion before working from basics to make sure the student understands what the gap in their knowledge is and how to best reinforce the gap in their learning.

For more confident students one of the best ways to prepare them for exams is working through exam-style questions and reviewing common areas where marks are lost along with best practices to minimise wasted time during the tests.
