    Advanced Tutoring in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics

    Having conducted international-level experimental and theoretical scientific research for many years (PhD University of Cambridge, National Physical Laboratory, Max-Planck Institute, KUL, and UCL) I offer tailored and adaptive tutoring in mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

    My main focus is in helping those pupils in their final two years of school who are preparing for university. I also specialize in preparing students for the Belgian medical entrance exam by actually solving the problems of all the past entrance exams and providing tips and insight for rapidly homing in on the correct answers.

    My philosophy is that science and mathematics can be related to each person's everyday experience. I try to provide insight and solid foundations so that students will not have to rely heavily on blindly memorizing large sections of their courses.

    About Me

    I'm passionately curious about the world and how it works; I can find interest in just about any subject. My current academic pursuits are in the areas of the philosophy of ideas, zeroth-order logic, molecular genetics, and computer programming; including artificial intelligence.
    Besides academic interests, I enjoy sports of all kinds. I currently play ice hockey in the Belgian national league. I'm also a keen photographer. I only use film and I develop and print my images purely by the 'traditional' method of using a cocktail of chemicals in a darkroom.

    Math, Physics, Science, Computer Science, Electronics
    I believe that knowledge is built from basics and deep understanding of concepts with practicality. Any concept learnt with practical application is more important than theoretical knowledge and worth in the long term. With this in mind you can expect me to deliver information in a simple and effective manner for better understanding.

    Private lessons in chemistry - math - physics - bio
    Graduated in Chemistry at the Free University of Brussels, I offer teaching accessible to all and help in preparing questions or exams. (or simple upgrade) Sciences are often hard to assimilate because of their sometimes abstract nature or because of the enormous amount of information to remember. My goal is to help the student progress at their own pace through a real understanding of the material. What's the point of remembering if you don't understand. I check whether the material has been assimilated from one lesson to the next and I can provide additional exercises if necessary.

    Mathematics and Science for Secondary Education
    Mathematics and science subjects can weigh heavily on your study career during secondary education. It is therefore important to perform well on this. This can be a challenge for many students, especially in the third grade. In my lesson I try to explain the subject matter to students based on their own course, my old course and extra exercises. The ultimate goal is that the students gain a better understanding of their course.

    Private lessons in maths and physics. Secondary and university level.
    University professor for 18 years and doctor of applied sciences, I also give private lessons to higher education students and secondary school students. I adapt to the request and level of each student. I can follow the school/university program or push beyond. I favor classical education: 1) understanding of the subject and its importance in the field of study or in everyday life 2) illustration by examples 3) exercises allowing to assimilate well and finally to master the subject I attach great importance to understanding and logical reasoning. I progress with the student by also having him work outside contact hours if he wishes.

    Private lessons in Mathematics from Primary to Bachelor
    Mathematics is often misunderstood by the general public, but it is of capital importance and it is important to master at least the basics. My course is intended for students who would like to upgrade or get ahead in this subject. Curiosity is welcome! I am currently doing a Master's in Mathematical Sciences with an in-depth focus at the ULB. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from the University of Strasbourg and I am a former student in Preparatory Classes for the Grandes Ecoles (Maths-Physics mention) in France. I offer courses made according to the needs (or desires) of the students. This can be adapted for primary, secondary and university students (up to Bachelor Block 2).
