Secondary Maths Focus on Major Difficulties - At home / me / distance

From 40 £ /h

Vincent, Engineer and PhD student in neuroscience, specializing in psychology and pedagogy: I have designed a unique method to ensure that students with significant difficulties improve their results in Mathematics. The method consists of specifying the learning according to the child's profile and interests. As well as providing a score that evaluates different areas of the student's competence in Mathematics over time, a score that serves as feedback for parents and the student so that they understand where their difficulties lie.

Strong points
• Scientific expertise: PhD in engineering & neuroscience => psychological and pedagogical understanding and the ability to make biological mathematics, video games, sports, etc. concrete.
• Tailor-made teaching: lessons adapted to your child's visual and auditory profiles and — above all — interests (football, music, games, etc.).
• Vincent Method: Determine the child's profile and continually assess the student in order to monitor progress in the different areas of competence related to Mathematics.
• Transparent monitoring: Each month you will receive a precise report allowing you to really understand the blockages.

Give your child the boost they deserve: contact me for a diagnostic session!

- What do the lessons entail?
The tutoring focuses on mathematics in secondary education. I help students understand both the theory and its practical application in exercises. If necessary, I provide additional study materials, such as diagrams, summaries, or resources, to clarify the material.

- My approach
I would appreciate receiving an overview of the study material, tests, or assignments in advance that present difficulties. This allows me to properly prepare the lessons and focus on the student's specific needs. This also allows me to better assess the level.

During tutoring, I try to explain the material in a simple and understandable way, often from a different perspective than in the classroom. My goal is for the student to truly understand the material and gain more confidence. Seeing progress and achieving results together gives me great satisfaction.

- Why do I tutor?
Mathematics has always been a great passion of mine. Although my current studies no longer revolve around it, I still enjoy pursuing it. Tutoring is therefore an ideal combination of hobby and extra income for me. Naturally, I always work in a professional and structured manner.

- Experience
Since 2018, I've been tutoring students of various ages, both in primary and secondary education. I also regularly help fellow students with their learning material, which is always a positive experience.

- Who am I?
My name is Arina, I'm 26 years old and I study law. I live and study in Leuven, where I also live in student housing.

I'm an approachable, enthusiastic, and open person. This helps me quickly build trust, so students feel comfortable and confident asking questions. They know they can contact me outside of tutoring sessions if they get stuck on an exercise, and they often continue to do so afterward.

During my own high school years, I struggled with math in my first and second grades. Although I found the subject interesting, I struggled to fully grasp the material because the explanations didn't align with my learning style.

When I started tutoring (at my parents' insistence), my perspective on mathematics completely changed. My interest grew so strongly that I later pursued a degree in economics and mathematics. My love for mathematics has remained ever since.

Because math wasn't a part of my further studies, I decided to tutor myself. This way, I can share my enthusiasm and help students develop the confidence I once had to build.

Maths and statistics can be scary but they are undoubtedly extremely important. Unfortunately, students often feel overwhelmed with technical terminology and formulas that apparently are of no use. My goal is to demystify mathematics and statistics, making them closer to your daily life and/or area of expertise. Discipline, accessibility, and (why not?) a bit of fun are key factors to an effective and long-lasting learning process!

Welcome to my profile.
I am an experienced mathematics and science teacher with over seven years of experience helping students strengthen their understanding, improve their results and become more confident, independent learners.
My lessons are designed for students and families who value high-quality, well-prepared and personalised teaching. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all course, I adapt each lesson to the student’s level, objectives, school programme and learning style.
I teach students who need to rebuild essential foundations as well as those working on advanced topics, examinations or demanding international programmes such as the European Baccalaureate and International Baccalaureate, as well as, the various Belgian programs.

◆ MY TEACHING APPROACH ◆

• • Initial assessment • •
We begin by identifying the student’s current level, strengths, difficulties and academic objectives.

• • Personalised lesson planning • •
Each student receives a structured learning approach based on their specific needs, curriculum and pace of progress.

• • Clear and accessible explanations • •
Complex concepts are broken down into logical, manageable steps, with visual representations and carefully selected examples.

• • Active problem-solving • •
Students are encouraged to think, explain their reasoning and develop reliable methods for approaching unfamiliar questions.

• • Targeted practice • •
Exercises are selected to address specific weaknesses, consolidate knowledge and prepare effectively for tests and examinations.

• • Regular review and feedback • •
Previously studied material is revisited when necessary, and clear feedback is provided to help the student understand what has improved and what still requires attention.

◆ WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ◆

Professionalism and reliability are central to my work:
• • Lessons prepared in advance and tailored to the student
• • Punctual and well-structured sessions
• • Patient, respectful and focused teaching
• • Clear explanations without unnecessary complication
• • Constructive and timely feedback
• • Adaptation based on the student’s progress
• • A serious learning environment that remains supportive and encouraging

My objective is not simply to help students complete exercises. I aim to help them understand the underlying concepts, develop stronger reasoning skills and gain the confidence required to work more independently.

Mathematics and science can appear difficult when important foundations are missing or when explanations are poorly adapted to the learner. With the right structure, guidance and practice, these subjects become far more logical, accessible and rewarding.

I am a PhD student in applied physics, with a strong background in mathematics, modeling and solving complex problems.
I offer private mathematics lessons in Brussels for secondary school students, university students, or anyone wishing to strengthen their foundations.

My goal is not just to have students recite formulas, but to truly understand the logic behind math. I adapt my method to each student's level and profile: remedial work, regular support, exam preparation, methodology, targeted exercises.

I can help you for:

algebra
analysis
trigonometry
functions
geometry
probabilities and statistics
preparation for quizzes, exams or entrance exams

Why choose me: I'm a doctoral student, therefore accustomed to manipulating high-level mathematics.
experience in clearly explaining complex concepts, structured, patient and efficient approach, emphasis on understanding, method and autonomy, possibility of face-to-face courses in Brussels or remotely.

I know that many students think they are "bad at math," when in reality they've simply received explanations that were too quick or not tailored to their needs. With the right method, progress can be very rapid.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your level, your goals, and the most suitable option.

Hey, I am Sevag and I am 19 years old. I graduated from secondary education in science with 7 hours of mathematics at Lutgardis College in Oudergem. In my free time, I help students with tutoring and study guidance.

I can help with mathematics, biology, chemistry, natural sciences, and general study guidance. I can also provide support with homework and test preparation. My goal is to explain the material clearly and practice together so that everything is better understood.

During the lessons, we first discuss the theory and then do exercises to apply the material. I adapt my explanation to the student's level and try to explain everything as simply and structured as possible. This gives the student more insight and confidence.

I offer private mathematics lessons for secondary school students, from 1st to 6th grade, as well as for candidates preparing for the civil engineering entrance exam.

As a second-year Bachelor of Civil Engineering student at UCLouvain (Louvain-la-Neuve), I have a solid foundation in mathematics and science, acquired through courses in mathematical analysis, physics, algebra, and numerical methods.

My approach involves precisely identifying the source of each student's difficulties before adapting the method accordingly, rather than applying a standardized explanation. The goal is to build a genuine understanding of the concepts covered, going beyond simply memorizing formulas, so that the student gains autonomy and confidence in the long term.

I have a driver's license and a vehicle, so I can travel to Brussels and Louvain-la-Neuve. We can arrange a meeting place and time together based on your availability.

*English version below*

Mathematics only becomes truly manageable when you know how to tackle a problem. I help you solve problems independently, so that you can master your subject, as well as all the mathematics that follows.

My approach

We work through the thinking process together, so you discover the solution yourself. No ready-made answers, but the right questions and hints at the right time. This way, you build the skills and confidence step by step to tackle mathematics independently. Soon, mathematics becomes much less difficult and intimidating, and after a while, even fun!

The power of private lessons is more time and more personalization: your questions, your pace, focus on what you need. A session feels like a collaboration. Thinking out loud, trying something out, making a mistake and starting over: it is all part of the process.

My method is based on insights from learning psychology, in particular the model of cognitive apprenticeship (Collins, Brown & Newman, 1989). The idea is simple: first, I make visible how a mathematician thinks, and then I pass that thought process on to you step by step.

How a lesson proceeds

A standard lesson lasts two hours. True understanding takes time, and two hours gives us the space to thoroughly explore problems. One-hour lessons are also possible upon request.

Before the lesson, send me the questions and exercises you are stuck on. I will prepare them so we can get started right away.

During the lesson, we work through your material together: exercises, theory, and proofs. You think, I provide guidance.

After the lesson, you will receive a concise summary and a few questions to work on yourself.

About me

I am studying mathematics at KU Leuven and previously obtained a bachelor's degree in psychology. I offer support in probability and statistics, (linear) algebra and analysis at the university level, and in all secondary education mathematics. Outside of mathematics, I enjoy bouldering, classical piano, and studying Japanese. I also really love being in nature.

English:

I help you become an independent problem solver. Once you learn how to approach a problem, your course becomes manageable, and so does any mathematics you meet after it.

My philosophy

We work through the thinking process together, and with the right hints and nudges, you will be the one finding the answers! This gives you the tools to do mathematics on your own. As you gain confidence, the subject gets a lot less difficult and intimidating. It will even become fun!

Private tutoring lets me build everything around you: your questions, your pace, your sticking points. Our sessions are a collaboration, two people figuring out the mathematics together, where thinking out loud and trying out ideas is encouraged.

My method is grounded in learning psychology, specifically the framework of cognitive apprenticeship (Collins, Brown & Newman, 1989), which focuses on making expert thinking visible and gradually handing it over to the learner.

A standard session

Sessions last 2 hours by default. Real understanding takes time to build, and a two-hour block gives us room to work through problems in depth. One-hour sessions are possible on request.

Before: you send me the specific questions and problems you've run into. I prepare them in advance, so our time goes to working on them rather than me reading them for the first time.

During: we work through your material together, with you doing the thinking and guiding me. This can be exercises, theory, proofs, etc.

After: you get a written recap of the session plus a few guiding questions to keep you moving in your own study.
