Nahia Gaston,
General and English review classes. Specialized in scientific subjects within the general review.
Hello! I am Nahia, a third-year medical student with a passion for teaching. I have the skills to explain scientific and technical topics clearly and effectively, adapting the content to the student's needs. My experience in preparing for official exams, such as Cambridge (B2 and C1), has led me to develop specific strategies to improve key skills such as speaking, oral fluency and confidence in exam situations, and I have guided students in test simulations to familiarize them with official formats and times. I also have experience in teaching classes in the scientific field, from mathematics to biology. My classes can be done online if the situation requires it.

María José Villamizar
Hello, I am a teacher of primary school children, a pleasure.
I am a private teacher for children in primary school or lower grades. I speak native Catalan, Spanish and English at an intermediate level. As for the type of subject to be covered, it can be any, but it is necessary that you provide me with the syllabus to be able to prepare the class in advance. Classes can be in person or digital.

Learn chemistry online or in person in a fun and easy way
Chemistry is a very important subject, with my experience, I love to make science nicer and more interesting by showing its real applications in life, linked to my personal experience and expertise, aiming to connect the students with scientific matters.

Raef
Tuition Math - Physics - Chemistry - Biology
Experienced for more than 18 years, I give private lessons in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Chemistry - Biology and Geology to students in the French program of Terminales, Bac 1ère, Seconde and Brevet as well as students from CNED or international (European from grade 8 to 12) competitions and medical university preparatory classes or 1st and 2nd year university either at home or by internet online using the virtual class method with a very professional and specific shared interactive whiteboard. My students' results are marked GOOD, VERY GOOD AND EXCELLENT each year. For more information, do not hesitate to contact me, guaranteed response in a few minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

Christian
Tutoring Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics (exact subjects).
I am Christian, graduated in chemistry at Utrecht University (Biomolecular Sciences) and have a PhD in developmental biology. For several years now I have been tutoring and exam training in mathematics, chemistry and physics to HAVO and VWO students, but also to HBO students and Cambridge International A-levels. Maybe I can help you too! The lessons are given online, but I provide a personal and interactive approach. With a marker and whiteboard I create an atmosphere that is comparable to private lessons at your home. Every student has unique goals and a unique way of learning. That is why I tailor my lessons to your needs. I am always involved in your progress and am optimistic and approachable by nature. During the lessons I often notice that students not only understand the material better, but also their self-confidence grows. Besides being a tutor, I am a part-time artist (painter and musician). My creative background gives me a fresh and enthusiastic perspective on science subjects. If science subjects feel hard, difficult or boring, or if you had a teacher who couldn't make it fun, I can help you change that. The more you understand, the more fun it becomes, and good grades will follow! I'd love to meet you!
