About Me

Hello! I'm Valencia Barrett, a dedicated and passionate tutor with over two years of experience working with children aged 2 to 18. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biology with a minor in Education from Huston-Tillotson University, and a Master's degree in Biology with an emphasis in higher education from Grand Canyon University.

My expertise lies in teaching Biology to middle and high school students, as well as Reading/ELA and Math to elementary students. Over the years, I have successfully helped students improve their grades, prepare for exams, and develop a deeper understanding of their subjects. My tutoring approach is tailored to each student's unique needs and learning style, ensuring a personalized and effective learning experience.
I am committed to creating a supportive and interactive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring topics in depth. Whether we are working on foundational skills or advanced concepts, my goal is to make learning enjoyable and effective.

I find it extremely rewarding to see students grasp concepts they initially struggled with and to witness their excitement and engagement grow throughout the learning process. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy painting, hiking, swimming, traveling, and spending time with my family.

Let's work together to achieve your academic goals and make learning a fun and fulfilling journey!

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

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!
