Statistics and Mathematics for Advancing thinking and logic (University Based Teaching)

This is not your traditional math class! Rather than focusing on rote memorization or rigid formulas, this course emphasizes developing a deeper understanding of mathematical and statistical reasoning. Instead of simply teaching students how to calculate an average (mean), for instance, I will guide them toward discovering how to develop a value that they believe best represents an average. This reflective approach helps students think critically about the meaning and application of mathematical concepts, rather than just performing calculations.

The course prioritizes practical applications over theoretical repetition. You will engage with real-world case studies and utilize modern tools such as MATLAB, R, and Python to solve problems across fields like medicine, social sciences, and business. We will explore statistical reasoning, data analysis, and numerical algorithms, always with the goal of helping students connect these abstract concepts to professional and real-life scenarios.

By encouraging students to question, analyze, and understand the underlying logic of mathematical principles, the course fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By the end, you will not only know how to perform calculations but also understand the "why" behind them, enabling you to apply mathematical reasoning effectively in academic and professional contexts.

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.

Fritz
Maths through cartoons, interactive lessons from CP to ninth grade
My method is VERY SIMPLE: 1. I design a cartoon that explains a lesson with one or two examples of the practical usefulness of said lesson in everyday life. 2. I discuss with the learner to encourage him to find other examples. 3. We do simple exercises but I leave him some homework, he can contact me 24/7 if he has a problem. With me, students can easily make the connection between what they are taught and everyday life. The courses are reserved for students from preparatory course to third grade.

Niyaz
Mathematics for younger kids who are willing to improve on their maths skills.
To help children succeed in math, I would focus on creating a structured, engaging, and supportive learning environment that builds their confidence and problem-solving skills. Here’s how I would approach it: Assessing the Child’s Current Level: The first step would be to understand each child’s current abilities, strengths, and areas needing improvement. I would assess their understanding of math fundamentals, such as basic operations, number sense, or algebra, depending on their age and level. Building Strong Foundations: I would ensure that students have a solid grasp of the foundational concepts before moving to more complex topics. This may include reinforcing basic arithmetic, number theory, or explaining core concepts in geometry and algebra clearly. Personalized Learning Plans: Every child learns at a different pace, so I would tailor my lessons to each child's needs. For some, this may mean breaking problems down into smaller, manageable steps, while for others, I might introduce more challenging material to keep them engaged. Making Math Fun and Engaging: I would incorporate games, puzzles, and real-life examples to make math relatable and enjoyable. Interactive learning keeps children engaged and reduces the fear often associated with math. Step-by-Step Problem Solving: I would teach students how to approach math problems methodically by breaking them down into smaller, logical steps. This helps develop critical thinking and enables students to solve even complex problems with confidence. Encouraging a Growth Mindset: Mistakes are part of learning. I would encourage a growth mindset by praising effort over results, showing students that challenges and mistakes help them grow and improve. Regular Practice and Reinforcement: I would provide practice exercises, both during tutoring sessions and as homework, ensuring that students get ample opportunity to reinforce what they’ve learned. Gradual increases in difficulty would help keep them challenged but not overwhelmed. Real-Time Feedback: During lessons, I would provide immediate feedback, correcting errors and explaining where things went wrong. This helps to clear misconceptions right away and solidify understanding. Utilizing Visuals and Manipulatives: I would incorporate visual aids, such as diagrams, charts, and physical objects (manipulatives), especially for younger children. These tools help explain abstract concepts and make math more tangible. Building Confidence and Independence: Over time, I would encourage children to try solving problems on their own. I would gradually reduce assistance as they develop more confidence, allowing them to take ownership of their learning and celebrate their progress. By focusing on these key areas, I aim to make math approachable, enjoyable, and successful for children at any level.
