Mathematics Private Lessons and Workshops for all levels, from middle school to postgraduate education.

I am a passionate teacher and I care for all my students. Learning mathematics is an emotional exercise. I always considered that being a good teacher is not only a mix of professional knowledge and skills, but also an ability to empathise and build relationships with the students. I do believe that the emotional and the affective dimensions of teaching are fundamental to being an effective teacher. When asked to complete the sentence “A good teacher should...”, a French pupil responded “listen to us, support us, teach us”.

In all my teaching experience, whether at sixth grade or at college and graduate levels, I have found that instead of getting frustrated with my students’ knowledge gaps and misconceptions, I could make my teaching more satisfying and more effective, by recognizing that all the students have learning potential and intellectual curiosity and by encouraging them to get a deeper understanding of the mathematical concepts.

The fluid nature of the Internet creates a learning environment that could be highly motivating for students raised within the digital era. I believe that, since the real purpose of education is to prepare and equip students for what happens beyond the classroom, the online collaborative learning communities can be also very efficient.

About Me

My private practice is based on more than 25 years of teaching, tutoring, counselling, and research in Europe and Asia. I promote positive education in mathematics, encouraging students to use their strengths and to love mathematics. I have taught mathematics at all levels, from middle school (e.g., The French International School of Hong Kong) to high school (e.g., National Colleges in Romania) and to University level both undergraduate and postgraduate (e.g., City University of Hong Kong).

While teaching in multi-cultural environments, I aimed for a culturally sensitive pedagogy. In International Schools, students have different biographical or cultural background and consequently, individual ways of thinking and posing the various mathematics operations. When different approaches are explicitly confronted in mathematics private lessons, learners can relativize their personal views, widen their learning perspectives, and acquire deeper chances for real mathematics learning.

Education is not an island, but part of the continent of culture. Twelve years ago I noticed that my students had mathematical anxiety and thus, aiming to become a better teacher, I decided to study more about emotions, neurosciences and psychological counselling. Adding positive psychology methods to mathematics education have proved to be a success formula and my students had benefited: “We love mathematics because you let us express ourselves and we are not afraid to make mistakes”.

When students are given opportunities to ask their own questions and to formulate problems, they know mathematics is still alive, not something that has been already decided and just needs to be memorized. Posing and sharing with my students problem-based investigations, I see that they enjoy mathematics more and that they feel as the owners of their work.

Education

PhD in Applied Mathematics (Romania), Master of Education (University of Bristol), Master of Counselling (Monash University), PGC Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health (King’s College London)

Experience / Qualifications

I am an experienced highly educated teacher of mathematics and a psychological counsellor who helps teenagers and young adults to use problem-solving skills and cognitive behavior therapy to address their emotional needs and academic anxiety.

Mikael
French student at ETH, tutoring in French mathematics and physics in Zurich
I am a French student in Zurich (at ETH) and offers French, maths and physics classes. I'm used to it and I've been tutoring for several years. I like it a lot - I also want to be a teacher and researcher, be patient, even if I expect a lot from the student. The goal is to better understand the basics and show what is interesting in the subject, so that the student is properly motivated.

Eduardo
Physics Graduate student for Physics, Mathematics, Spanish, Chemistry
I'm a Spanish student currently studying a Quantum Information MSc at ETH Zürich. Physics is my passion and I love to teach it, always in a way that the student can understand the concepts and see the beauty behind them. I have taught an uncountable number of students of all kind of levels, from school children that need help with the course to adult people seeking to pass a physics exam for a pilot license or university students. In my 6 years of experience on teaching, what I have learnt is that usually most students just need a bit of motivation, and the best way to give them that motivation is showing them that physics and mathematics are beautiful and fun! I have a Surface Pro tablet that I normally use for aid during the class. It's very useful to show the students animations, videos and figures in order to transmit a better explanation of the concepts. I can also use it for giving classes through online videocall, sharing my screen and writing in it as it were a blackboard. I'm native Spanish so I can teach Spanish as well. Note: I'm currently learning German, so I'll be able to give classes in English or Spanish only.

Classes in Tunisian dialect with a native teacher 🏅
Hello everyone, I have been a teacher since 2014. The Tunisian dialect is my mother tongue. I am here to help those who like to learn Tunisian: vocabulary, pronunciation, listening-comprehension, conversation, reading,... The courses are well prepared and focus on different themes. Learning tools are available to facilitate understanding. I don't neglect my students' mistakes so that they can improve. At the end of each session, detailed feedback will be provided. If you are interested, please contact me.

Salah Eddine
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.
