MATHS made easy with PhD student in Geophysics with 7+ years experience

With 7+ years' experience in education, I have coached over 50 students to improve their academic results and boost their confidence in math and physics.

My tutoring services always include a personalized plan for each student. This plan is established during the first session where I like to meet the student, better understand their difficulties and get to know their schedule.

In the first session, we will:

- Get to know each other.
- Understand the student's strengths and identify areas for improvement.
- Understand the student's needs and difficulties.
- Get to know the student's schedule.
- Create a tutoring plan

Typically, sessions take place as follows:
i. Theoretical review of complex concepts in simple terms
ii. Tips for solving problems
iii. Abundance of exercises from my databases (exams, exercises)

If you are interested in my services, please provide the following information when contacting me:

- School system (French Bac, Matu, IB, A-levels)
- Location of tutoring (or video tutoring if applicable)
- Number of sessions per week and preferred days and times of the week (this can also be discussed after the first session, if you prefer)

5 stars!⭐️ I can highly recommend Francisco as a tutor in Matlab. He helped me a lot to improve my knowledge of the programming language and to close my gaps. Francisco explains complex topics clearly and understandably and takes a lot of time to make sure I understand everything. He is patient and encouraging. What I particularly liked: Francisco explains complex topics in a simple and understandable way. He uses examples and analogies that make it easier for me to understand the concepts. Conclusion: He explains everything very patiently and understandably! I can recommend him to anyone who wants to get better at Matlab.

Hi! Welcome to my class on Matlab programming! As a PhD student in Geophysics my main tool is my computer. In order to do science one needs to know how to program. I often use Matlab in order to analyze data, run numerical models, plot results and much more. So, let's embark on the journey of learning Matlab and explore its diverse capabilities together! For beginners: I have designed it for absolute beginners to become at ease with the language within 5 sessions of 1h. Message me to know the 5 classes curriculum and I will be more than happy to share it with you! For intermediate users: If you already know the basics of Matlab but want to go more in-depth on certain packages this is the right place! Message me and we can discuss what your needs are!
Welcome to my Programming Projects Support class! Are you facing hurdles with your programming projects? Let's tackle them together! As a Geophysics PhD student, I rely heavily on programming tools like Matlab, Python, and R for data analysis, mathematical modeling, plot results and much more. After a lot of requests from students I created this course which is specifically meant to give you support completing your final programming projects. Here's what you can expect: - We'll review your project's background and requirements. - Analyze your coding progress and identify areas for improvement. - Collaborate to overcome obstacles, debug your code and advance your project. - Tailored sessions based on your project's complexity and your skill level. Whether you require a single session or a series of in-depth consultations, my goal remains the same: to help you break through programming barriers and achieve your goals. Ready to level up your programming skills? Let's get started! Please note: This is a support course only ! While I'm here to guide you, the project's success lies in your hands and I will not finish your project for you.
Hi! Welcome to my class on Python programming! As a PhD student in Geophysics my main tool is my computer. In order to do science one needs to know how to program. I use Python everyday in order to analyze data, run numerical models, plot results and much more. So, let's embark on the journey of learning Python and explore its diverse capabilities together! For beginners: I have designed it for absolute beginners to become at ease with the language within 5 sessions of 1h. Message me to know the 5 classes curriculum and I will be more than happy to share it with you! For intermediate users: If you already know the basics of Python but want to go more in-depth on certain packages this is the right place! Message me and we can discuss what your needs are! I am a professional user of Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, os, scipy and many more packages! Are you not sure Python is the right language for you? Check the following out and let me know if you have any questions! First of all, what is Python? According to its creator, Guido van Rossum, Python is a: “high-level programming language, and its core design philosophy is all about code readability and a syntax which allows programmers to express concepts in a few lines of code.” Learning Python is a rewarding experience for several reasons. Firstly, Python is inherently beautiful as a programming language, offering a natural and expressive way to translate your thoughts into code. Its readability and simplicity make coding an enjoyable and intuitive process. The Python language finds applications across various domains, including data science, web development, machine learning and AI. For example, platforms like Quora, Pinterest, and Spotify leverage Python for their backend web development! This versatility makes Python a powerful tool for those eager to delve into different aspects of programming. If this caught your curiosity message me and I'll make you a Python hero! Welcome to the community!
