Introduction to Proof Writing for University Students

What you will learn here is to reason, write, and read like a mathematician. The book we follow is Velleman's "How To Prove It", which provides a systematic attempt to reason with proofs. The book will cover Logic, Sets, Proofs, Relations, Functions, Induction, and Infinite Sets, and they are the basis for all mathematical literature. The background of calculus is not needed rather only algebra & trigonometry, and a determined, and humble, spirit.

About Me

I graduated as a Statistics & Data Scientist with a knack of programming and mathematics, plus I can speak some basic Cantonese, a dialect of Chinese. I am currently a freelance tutor teaching mathematics, programming, and statistics, and before that I was a software engineer with 3-4 years experience. I teach students to learn how to neatly write mathematics and challenge the reason their steps as well as provide guidance and insight to what they are doing, and these are the key to understanding mathematics.

In a bit of a personal note I had failed mathematics back in high school, so I can sympathise with struggling the students on its difficulty. However, given where I stand I believe anyone can learn mathematics, even if they failed high school like I did. The only thing they need is time, patience, and humility if they learn these three wisdom they can learn anything, and not just mathematics, and statistics, but all subjects.

Private lessons in Math, Physics, Chemistry and SVT
The math, physics, chemistry, and SVT courses of the Swiss Maturity and Gymnasium program or French programs are given by either in-depth explanations or by a quick course and summary of essential needs according to the case of each student supported by exercises from the book or evaluations and exams from other high schools. Special program for Maturité and Terminale students. As well as (International and European Schools in English). The same goes for the start of the ECUS and EPSU academic year where the pupil can follow a complete preparation. As well as for 1st and 2nd-year university students, can take courses in Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Mechanics - Electricity - Chemistry - Organic Chemistry - Biology and Geology. My experience is too long and for years I have learned methods for each case and for each student to fill in their gaps with the best results of Excellent, Very Good, and Good as mentioned by my students. I can also help students to better prepare for courses and support them to better prepare for the duties of CNED in science subjects. Guaranteed response within minutes up to 10 hours maximum.

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.

Marco
Full-time IB & A-Level tutor with an MBA and BSc specialising in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Economics, and Biology.
ms-tutoring.com I've been tutoring since I was sixteen years old. What started as a small hobby of providing extra-curricular help for some of my IB classmates 10 years ago, has now gradually evolved into a full-time passion of mine that I derive deep fulfilment from. In addition to the joy I feel from the teaching process itself, the fundamental reason I enjoy what I do lies in the mentorship I give to my students, and in providing for them a clarity in perspective, confidence in their own potential, and an unwavering support throughout a time in their life when things feel overwhelming and confusing. Having graduated the IB in 2014 from École Jeannine Manuel in Paris, and endured the gruelling and competitive university selection process, I remember first-hand how much pressure students experience at this critical stage of their academic careers - a time when attaining a particular grade boundary dictates whether or not they'll be able to attend their dream university, and begin the life they've envisioned for themselves. This hyper-fixation on academic performance is often complemented by a collective learning environment that can easily neglect the unique, subtle nuances of each individual's learning style and pace. In wanting to do well, students often find themselves mitigating a teaching approach that, by necessity, prioritises this group environment, and resort to finding their own way through topics & exams - a path they don't need to navigate alone. This is where I can help. Having been in both the student and teacher roles of the academic experience, I've encountered the range of challenges and pitfalls that often lead to unsuccessful outcomes, and, in the worst cases, a misjudgment of our own abilities, and a lowering of our own potential. In distilling my dual experience, I have understood the keystone component that determines where these outcomes fall: Communication. Any form of learning - and teaching - at their core, rely on a verbal, visual and conceptual exchange between people. The problem, however, is that every person's mind operates with its own distinct vocabulary - one that deserves time and attention to be properly understood, and taught towards. Frameworks that may cement an understanding for one individual - be they teacher or pupil - don't automatically translate to another, particularly when these approaches need to be homogenised and streamlined for collective education. My priority as a private tutor is to be as useful to you & your specific needs as possible. In working together, I'll be able to garner a deep understanding of how and why things make sense to you, and integrate my experience and intuition to develop tailored pedagogical strategies that will surgically refine & reframe both your theoretical and examination skillsets.
