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!

Mavi
Math, Physics and Science tutoring for children and teenagers: IB MYP, IGCSE, and GCSE.
I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company. I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 9 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools. Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments. As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am. Are you curious about how nature works? Let's explore together!

Antony
Maths and science for elementary and high school students.
I am an excellent teacher in maths and sciences. I have been teaching Physics to school-going children, home based and remote-learning students since 2014. I make an effort to tailor my lessons to the student's level, needs, and interests. My preparation for classes is designed to make the learning process interesting and educational, foster understanding, and not involve cramming. Teaching is not just a job for me; it's something that fascinates me and gives me the opportunity to meet interesting people, so I always give my best effort in every lesson. My goal is to provide specific and structured knowledge and help increase self-confidence through the use of modern techniques for all ages and purposes. See you in my next class!

Chemistry and Physics are fun subjects. Here I want to teach my student how to understand these subjects and solve all the case related to both subjects. As we know, chemistry and physics are close to our life, in every single part of life these subjects are exist. Chemistry exist in our food, body, and every chemical things in our home. Physics is how to we understand all activities we do, such as run, walk, pull or push something, drive car, and so on. That's why these subject are interesting. We learn these subjects mean we learn all things in our life. In this class we will try understand the meaning, the reason, the formula and prepare to complete the assignment.

Işık
Chemistry and Math for Middle and High School Students
In my classes, I first aim to teach the foundational principles of the subject before building upon them with practice. As a university lecturer, I have developed this habit through the years. As someone who still enjoys solving chemistry and math problems at the middle and high school levels, I find great satisfaction in helping younger ones to develop their skills in these subjects.
