I offer classes on History, Geography, and Political Science, with over 11 years' of experience in these subjects, both professionally and academically. I hold Bachelor's Degrees in both History and Political Science (from the University of Florida), as well as a Master's in Political Science, specifically European Politics (from KU Leuven).

I have extensive experience in a wide range of historical and political subjects and have always had a keen interest in history and the social sciences. Additionally, previously I have been a journalist (dealing with Competition Law) and currently am an editor working on a wide variety of subjects for organizations such as the UNHCR and Goethe Institut, among others.

I am capable of teaching and lecturing on numerous historical and political events and periods in history, with myself having specialized in European history, American history, African history, as well as the Medieval period and Antiquity.

As an engineer, I would like to help other students navigate the sometimes complex world of mathematics and physics. During my studies, I tutored for 6 years in secondary schools in the region of The Hague, Delft, Rotterdam and Antwerp. I try to go through the course material interactively with the student and link theoretical concepts as much as possible to examples from our daily lives in order to prepare and motivate the student.

So if you would like tutoring on one or more subjects in mathematics or physics, you can contact me.

I tutor students from primary and secondary education to higher education. From multiplication tables to quadratic equations, logarithmic and exponential functions, limits, derivatives, integrals,... Everything is possible!

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 11 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?

As a dedicated tutor with extensive experience in preparing students for standardized exams such as the SAT, GMAT, and SSAT, I understand the unique challenges that each of these tests presents. My approach is comprehensive and focuses on building a strong foundation in critical areas such as Mathematics, Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Skills, and Analytical Writing. Each program I develop is tailored to the specific requirements of the exam, ensuring that students are well-prepared and confident on test day.

Having a deep understanding of the test formats and question types allows me to provide personalized strategies that target each student's individual strengths and weaknesses. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and my goal is to enhance their test-taking skills while improving their time management. By fostering a supportive learning environment, I aim to boost students' confidence and empower them to achieve top scores.

My tutoring sessions incorporate a variety of effective methods, including real exam questions and timed practice tests. This hands-on approach allows students to familiarize themselves with the types of questions they will encounter, making the actual exam feel less daunting. I teach proven techniques for tackling even the most challenging problems, ensuring that students feel equipped to handle any question that comes their way.

One of the key components of my tutoring is helping students develop effective study habits. I provide guidance on creating a structured study plan that maximizes their preparation time and aligns with their personal goals. This structured approach not only keeps students on track but also helps them build a sense of accountability, which is crucial for success.

In addition to academic preparation, I also focus on the psychological aspects of test-taking. Many students experience anxiety leading up to exams, which can affect their performance. I teach relaxation techniques and mental strategies to help manage stress, allowing students to approach their exams with a calm and focused mindset. By addressing both the academic and emotional challenges of test preparation, I equip students with a well-rounded toolkit for success.

Feedback is an essential part of the learning process, and I make it a priority to provide constructive and actionable insights during our sessions. After each practice test, I conduct a thorough review of the results, highlighting areas for improvement while also acknowledging progress. This continuous feedback loop helps students understand their growth and keeps them motivated throughout their preparation.

My commitment to student success goes beyond just teaching content. I aim to inspire a love for learning and self-improvement in each of my students. Many of my former students have gone on to achieve their academic goals, securing places at prestigious universities and programs. Their success stories are a testament to the effectiveness of my tailored approach and the dedication I bring to each tutoring session.

If you're looking to master the SAT, GMAT, or SSAT with confidence, I invite you to book a session now. Together, we will develop a customized learning plan that suits your individual needs, ensuring that you are not only prepared to face the test but also equipped to excel and reach your highest potential. With my guidance and your commitment, we can achieve outstanding results. Let’s embark on this journey to success together!
