    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!

    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.

    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.

    Physics and chemistry are the gateway to understanding all sciences, as a science student you will need to be able to sort through the many complex features to become a true student scientist with a critical and curious mind. That's why I designed this course to help students prepare for their exams and the next school year to fill in the gaps they have in math and science. I would like to inform you that I am a young researcher and I can also help you to acquire basic knowledge of Microsoft Office and other essential software for your career.

    My goal is to help my students progress and succeed in their exams. So that they can overcome their difficulties, I provide them with effective educational support, on an ad hoc basis or throughout the school year. Concretely, I analyze my student's profile then identify their gaps and/or difficulties to finally implement tailor-made methodologies. My teaching is aimed at students from 6th to 12th grade, all sectors combined. I assure you that with weekly monitoring and the right methods you will make progress!

    Mathematics and statistics courses from primary to higher education
    Mathematics is fascinating because it has applications in all areas of human activity, as well as in the observation and study of natural phenomena. As Galileo said, the book of natural laws is written in mathematical language. And yet, all too often, they are taught in an uninviting way, by rote recitation rather than by trying to arouse the learner's (natural) curiosity. In their earliest childhood, all human beings went through the ‘why’ phase. This phase proves our natural curiosity and our desire to understand how the world around us works. That's what maths is all about: curiosity and a taste for trying to understand how systems work. Whether it's numerical or geometric systems, or the information systems we use every day. Every prompt or query you type in your favourite language model (whether American, Chinese or European) is automatically transformed into a mathematical statistical calculation to be processed by artificial intelligence. In short, maths is everywhere, so we might as well rediscover a taste for natural curiosity, so that we can get to grips with it and understand its usefulness.

    Economics, English, and Business Tutoring. Assist with mastering concepts: Understanding Tools and Mechanisms
    Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping students tackle subjects that can feel intimidating at first but are incredibly rewarding once you start to understand them. Whether it's Economics, English, or Business, I’ve seen firsthand how small breakthroughs can lead to big moments of confidence. In Economics, I love taking complex concepts like supply and demand, market structures, and economic policies and breaking them down into something that makes sense. I've had many students who started feeling lost, but once we worked through a few examples together, they realized that economics isn’t as difficult as it seems—it’s all about understanding the patterns and relationships. When it comes to English, I’ve helped countless students refine their writing and communication. Whether it’s crafting a compelling essay, improving grammar, or just feeling more comfortable reading difficult texts, I've been there with my students through every step. The best part? Seeing the growth from struggling with basic concepts to confidently expressing themselves in writing and conversation. And in Business, I’ve worked with students ranging from those who dream of running their own companies to those looking to ace their business courses. Together, we dive into the foundations of marketing, management, and finance, and I love seeing those "aha" moments when the dots connect. It’s such an exciting field because it’s all about real-world applications, and I make sure to tie lessons back to the skills students need for future success. What I’ve learned from tutoring in these subjects is that each student has a unique learning style, and my goal is always to tailor the experience to what works best for them. Whether you need extra help preparing for an exam, want to polish your writing, or are looking to understand how business really works in the world, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
