Tutoring for Cambridge International Examinations.

In person or via Zoom, the tutoring can be delivered on a regular basis or as an unique act.

Going through the sylabus, doing exercises proposed in the topic book, answering to paper questions, whatching videos that explain the topic, everything in a relaxed environment that invites students to share their knowledge and also their doubts.

Tutoring process can be very rewarding when students see their self-esteem increasing because they have someone that can help them navigate alongside the studying .

About Me
I'm a 51 year old woman who's been teaching and/or tutoring for almost two decades

I studied Chemistry Engineering in FEUP, University of Oporto

My passion: Nature and sustainability

My first teaching experience: I taught my grandmother to read and write when I was eleven

My loves: Tomilho (my dog) and Flor (my cat)

My favourite travel: I've traveled for India, Pakistan and Nepal for 1,5 years

My extra mile challenge: I established a personal sustainability project in Algarve and built my own house with natural materials (mud, straw, wood)


What I love: I love to hear students saying"oh, that's easy!" or opening their eyes at the same time they say: I never thought I would be able to do this!

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.

Math is life, and life is good.
Hello everyone! My name is Rafael. I have been teaching online and locally for over two years and I really enjoy it! I'm currently studying for my Ph.D.

If you are a parent who reads my profile, I do my best to make math enjoyable for students. It is a very difficult subject and sometimes students just need a boost of confidence and learn the basics. On the other hand, I like to encourage students who do well on their own. I like to challenge students and push their limits so that they become really strong mathematicians.

If you are a student reading my profile, know that I can really help you learn your math well and enjoy doing it! There are many different ways to explain any topic; my goal will be to make you comfortable with your skills.

That's all I have for you :) Have a wonderful day!
