You always see people saying that maths can be a boring and hard subject, but that couldn’t be further from the truth! I can help with making things as basic as algebra 101 to integrals seem interesting all while helping your child understand them through and true. I studied mathematics at a STEM-specific academic high school, getting the highest possible grade for the subject in the Romanian Baccalaureate.

About Me
Hi! I’m an international student from Romania, doing my first year Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I am an energetic person always ready to shape my way of teaching to help make myself understood easier.
Education
I graduated from a Romanian high school from a natural sciences profile which meant maths was a big part of my curriculum. I am now a first year student at the University of Groningen pursuing a Bachelor’s in Psychology.
Experience / Qualifications
I have been part of many volunteering associations where I learnt how to handle working with kids, making myself understood and liked and also getting my message across no matter the audience.

Hi! Welcome! I am a Ph.D. researcher in Physics at the University of Cologne, Germany. Recently, I graduated from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands with a Master's degree in Nanoscience (w/ cum Laude). I offer private tutoring (for high school and/or university-level students) so you can understand the fundamental concepts and excel in your studies. I have teaching experience of 5+ years in Physics and Mathematics to both high school and university-level students.

This class aims to provide an overview of calculus and linear algebra and focuses on the fundamental mathematical tools and concepts, such as limits, differentiation, and integration. Building on these basic concepts, we will review methods for solving problems related to optimization, linear differential equations, and matrix algebra.

Outline of the course:
1. Calculus:
1.1 Limits of functions
1.2 Continuity, types of discontinuities, intermediate value theorem
1.3 Differentiation (or derivative), slope, secant, tangent
1.4 Rules and theorems for differentiation, power rule, product rule, chain rule
1.5 Derivatives of exp, log, and trigonometric functions
1.6 Implicit differentiation and derivative of inverse functions
1.7 Rolle's theorem, mean value theorem, critical point, maximum/minimum of a function
1.8 First and second derivative tests, inflection points
1.9 Anti-derivative, indefinite integral, integration by substitution, integration by parts
1.10 Definite integral and its application (area between curves, application in physics)\
1.11 Optimization and linear differential equations

2. Linear Algebra:
2.1 Vectors and scalars in Euclidean space, vector arithmetic, scalar product, cross product
2.2 Equations for lines and planes, vector spaces, linear independence, span, basis, dimension
2.3 Linear transformations, coordinates, and representation of linear transformations by matrices
2.4 Matrix operations: matrix multiplication, transpose, determinant, inverse, and Hermitian conjugate
2.5 Systems of linear equations, Gaussian elimination
2.6 Eigenvalues and eigenvectors
2.7 Range, kernel, and rank-nullity theorem

and many more...

*Note that the sessions will be held online (via Discord/Zoom/Microsoft Teams).

Hello, I am a mathematics masters student specializing in algebra, geometry and number theory. I have graduated from the university of Groningen with a bachelor in mathematics. As such, I've spent a great deal of time studying mathematics at a higher level and have become acquainted with a broad range of mathematical disciplines such as algebra, geometry, analysis, calculus, probability, optimization and more, this of-course includes any high school mathematics. During my studies I working as a teaching assistant whenever possible so I have some experience teaching.

In mathematics there are often many ways to come to the same conclusion and it varies from person to person what they consider easiest to understand. As such I try to get to know the student first and figure out how they may learn best. Personally, I rely a lot on intuition and deep understanding of concepts and so i try to convey to students the most essential and fundamental ideas before moving on, as well as, giving them interpretations of what is happening so that they may becomes easier to imagine and more tangible. In solving any problem, I think it is important to first sit back and understand what is going on before embarking on any calculation or proofs.

In a typical class I would first survey what the student already knows and discuss the concepts with them making sure they understand them very well then we would move on to discussing examples and non-examples (this would take most of the class). Finally we would solve problems together discussing them as we go along. This of course can vary from student to student, their level and time available.

***ENGLISH BELOW***
Hello! My name is Sanne (25) and I have a Master's degree in Biochemistry. Starting in September, I will begin obtaining my first-degree teaching qualification in Biology. Besides my passion for laboratory research, I enjoy supporting students with the subject matter and sharing my enthusiasm for the subject. I have already helped more than 20 students with biology, chemistry, and mathematics. I offer tutoring in mathematics (Mathematics A, B, and C).

During the tutoring sessions, we actively work together on assignments, and I help you gain insight into the underlying concepts so that you can eventually tackle problems independently. Making mistakes is, of course, allowed; that is often where you learn the most. Additionally, it is important that you practice independently between lessons. For the lessons, you will need your own (sometimes graphing) calculator.

I offer support with:
- Clearing backlogs
- Specific chapters or topics that are difficult
- Preparation for school exams and central exams (vmbo, havo and vwo)
- VAVO, state examination, and CCVX tracks

Tutoring in pairs or small groups (for example, with classmates) is possible at a lower rate per person. Feel free to contact us for more information!

Home tutoring is available. For this, I charge a travel allowance of €1 per kilometer per session (excluding Apprentus surcharges). Please contact me before booking to discuss the options and additional costs.

Hello! My name is Sanne (25), and I hold a Master's degree in Biochemistry. Starting in September, I will begin training to obtain my first-degree teaching qualification in Biology. Besides my passion for laboratory research, I enjoy supporting students in their learning and sharing my enthusiasm for science. Over the years, I have helped more than 20 students with biology, chemistry, and mathematics. I currently offer tutoring in mathematics (A, B, and C).

During our tutoring sessions, we will actively work through exercises together, and I will help you develop a solid understanding of the underlying concepts so that you can eventually solve problems independently. Making mistakes is completely normal—in fact, it is often one of the best ways to learn. It is also important to practice independently between sessions. You will need your own calculator (sometimes a graphing calculator) during lessons.

I offer support with:
- Catching up on missed material or overcoming learning gaps
- Specific chapters or topics that you find challenging
- Preparation for school exams and final examinations (VMBO, HAVO, and VWO)
- VAVO programs, state examinations, and CCVX preparation

Tutoring in pairs or small groups (for example, with classmates) is available at a reduced rate per person. Feel free to get in touch for more information!
