    Private Lessons in Mathematics, Science, and Engineering

    I am a university researcher and instructor with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering. I am able to provide one-on-one guidance for a range of topics in mathematics (algebra, geometry, calculus, discrete math, functions and modeling), natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology), and engineering (fluid dynamics, applied programming, signal analysis, optimization).

    My typical teaching strategy follows three steps:
    1) developing an understanding of the subject theory
    2) introducing real-world applications of the theory
    3) repeating exercises related fundamental concepts and applications

    I am also able to help students prepare for a range of (pre) university exams.

    About Me

    I am an academic researcher and university-level instructor (native English, American) with experience in teaching, instruction, exam prep, editing/proofreading and text correction for all ages and in a variety of contexts. I hold a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Michigan, and have (co-)authored more than 15 scientific publications.

    After growing up in Seattle and then heading to Michigan for my graduate studies, I unexpectedly had an opportunity to carry out the bulk of my Ph.D. work in Switzerland, during which I was able to learn French (B1-2), and after which I accepted a position as an independent researcher at KU Leuven. I have extensive knowledge of English grammar and literature, as well as experience in scientific research with a focus on medical diagnostics, biophysics, and signal processing. I am currently instructing bachelor-level practical exercise sessions in Dutch (B2) and am comfortable providing guidance in Dutch related to English.

    I have no problem meeting anywhere around Brussels or Leuven, or in the adjacent regions. I am also willing to correct, edit, proofread, and ghostwrite text with weekly and/or monthly rates. My transportation costs are included.

    Education

    B.Sc. in Bioengineering with Minors in Global Health and Mathematics: Univ. of Washington
    M.Sc.E. in Biomedical Engineering: Univ. of Michigan
    Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering: Univ. of Michigan

    Experience / Qualifications

    Primary school classroom teaching experience (50-100 hours, 8-9 year old students)
    Bachelors-level course instruction (300+ hours, 18-22 year old students)
    Graduate-level course instruction (150+ hours, 22-26 year old students)
    One-on-one tutoring experience (50+ hours, 12 year old & 17 year old students)
    Communicating properly in English is no longer an option but an expectation in academic and professional life. I am a native English speaker (American) with a Ph.D. and prior teaching experience in both individual and group scenarios, and my goal with this course is to help others improve their speaking, listening, reading, and writing abilities in the English language. Approaching the language with native experience, I can provide guidance related to both educational and business English and can cover broad usage including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills. I am also able to help improve general language skills (e.g. accent training) and can provide extensive help and instruction regarding SAT, GRE, MCAT, EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams.

    François
    Tutoring Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics and French region of Leuven (secondary)
    I am a student of TEW at the KULeuven and would like to offer my services to high school students who could use some help outside of school hours. Together with my students, I look for the right study approach to fully understand the courses and I try to present the subject matter in a different way so that my students gain more insight into the subject matter. I myself graduated from the Sint-Albertuscollege in Haasrode with a degree in science mathematics (6 hours) and I was raised perfectly bilingual (Dutch-French). I have several years of experience with tutoring, both to children in the 2nd year of high school and to children who are at the end of their high school and will soon be making the transition to further studies. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or are interested.

    NICK: Mathematics and Physics tutoring for secondary and primary education (also at home). Master HIR KUL
    Mathematics and Physics tutoring for secondary and primary education (also at home). Master Commercial Engineer KUL with a Science-Mathematics-8 and Civil Engineering background. ABOUT THIS LESSON: I offer tutoring in Python programming and mathematics for university and college students. I also support secondary school and primary school students in all scientific subjects. I start by (if available) using your old tests to determine together with you (and possibly your parents) what specific difficulties you have. In addition, we will have a short conversation in which you can explain to me which issues you have experienced as the most difficult and would like to focus more on. My focus is on ensuring that the student is able to find the solution independently, step by step, and I help where necessary by providing mini-tips to get to the next step together. This makes my method much more personalized than standard classroom teaching. When I notice that a student has difficulty independently coming up with the correct editing steps, I create a concise step-by-step plan tailored to that specific subject so that the student begins to see more structure in the learning material. At the same time, I ensure that the underlying theory is thoroughly understood by linking it to self-invented exercises and practical examples from the student's personal environment, which makes learning easier and more lasting. ABOUT NICK: I am a 22-year-old master's student in Commercial Engineering at KU Leuven. I started tutoring my sister, nephews, nieces and friends and I get a lot of satisfaction from improving and helping others when they come to me for help. Because I have been tutoring consistently for 4 years, I have the right resources to present learning material in an understandable way and to strengthen the motivation, concentration and independent study of my students. In addition, I have a lot of experience with children and didactic teaching techniques from my tennis initiator diploma. Ranging from first to sixth secondary school, from 2 hours to 6 hours of mathematics per week and everything in between, I have guided students of all directions and levels, with a successful outcome every time. I don't give up until I'm sure a student understands the material well enough and I see them making progress. By always appearing enthusiastic, I ensure that together we do not let the drudgery of difficult subjects get any further than the school desks. I am flexible in making appointments and am open to every student. This can be done at a fixed time every week or lesson by lesson. I provide tutoring at your home (I can travel by car), at my home (Kampenhout), in my student room (Leuven) or online. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss the practical matters in more depth immediately. Together we can draw up a plan and work lesson by lesson to achieve your personal academic goals or those of your child.

Together with my students, I go over the course material, do sufficient exercises and discuss with them what the right study approach is. My goal is for them to master their learning material well and ultimately achieve a good end result. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions!
