A practical example of Pytagoras theorem in daily life

From 52.65 £ /h

In day to day life especally in technical related subjects you will find practical use of the Pythagoras theorem. For example a carpenter when a house is being build, who uses the 3,4,5 rules to allign doors and window 90 degees straight up.

How does this work? The carpenter prepares three beams with lenghts 3, 4 and 5 meter, or other lengths with the same ratio like 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 meter. How does he use these beams to align the door or window?

He creates a triangle with 1.5m vertical, 2 m horizontal and 2.5 meter sloped.

What do you see. The 1.5m length beam is exactly straight up, and can be used to align the door or window to the correct position.

About Me

I am Onno from Leiden, born here in 1958 and also living. I studied HTS-Electronics during which a lot of exact subjects such as mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, mechanics are taught. My high school education has also been exact and I have 40 years of experience in business with application of these subjects. I really enjoy helping young people get started in these subjects and through my years of practical experience I am well able to convert theoretical issues into practical everyday examples with the aim of making what has to be learned easier to digest.

Education

I started my secondary education in the Netherlands at HAVO, and emigrated to South Africa in the 3rd grade. There I obtained my secondary school diploma in all exact subjects and then went on to study HTS Electrical Engineering/Telecommunication.

Experience / Qualifications

40 years of practical experience. My field is mainly based on mathematics and physics. All these years, these boxes have been used in practical solutions.

Do you have difficulty grasping science and math concepts? Let me help!
I can also help with other subjects. I can help you write reports, prepare for standardized tests or for exams at school.

I will tailor the sessions to your wishes and needs.

I specialize in teaching physics to students of any level and also to candidates of Olympiad of physics. I give detailed and precise description of subjects in a way that student understands the meaning and origin of the field. My goal is to change the viewpoint of students in physics and encourage them to look deeper, more precise and more outside the box!

Chemistry from VMBO to VWO (also 2-language education) and International school.
Lessons depend on the question with which the student/student is involved.
Mathematics depends on the problem.

We define the objective in advance and the feasibility is tested.
100% commitment of the student is appreciated.

I have taught at the Inholland University of Applied Sciences in Amsterdam (Chemistry). Do homework and give tutoring. In addition, I am currently supervising students from an International School.

Teaching is a skill and I'm passionate about it. I've taught Mathematics and English to 7&8 year old children for 2 years in Eindhoven. I can find creative ways to explain complicated concepts for children. If you need Maths or English lessons for children, I'll be glad to help :)

I have worked as a high school math teacher since 2006 in different countries. I have been teaching mainly the UK curriculum.

I encourage learning by using a number of different manipulatives, hands-on activities, and various forms of technology. By incorporating discussions, open-ended questions, and cooperative learning I am able to facilitate a highly interactive and inquisitive learning atmosphere.

In addition, I utilize weekly quizzes and monthly tests to track student progress, locate areas of weakness, and prepare students for finals exams.

I have former experiences teaching math and chemistry at high high school. I would I gladly help English speaking students in their path through science.
I can provide tutoring sessions in chemistry, math and physics for high school.
My goal is to help students learn and understanding the world around us in a simple a concrete way.

I studied the University of Mathematics and I have an experience of over 7 years in teaching mathematics to children. I'm passionate about children's development and mathematics, hence I'm combining the two to motivate children and to explain through various methods adjusted to their way of thinking and understanding.
I also have experience with students willing to go for the Toelatingsonderzoek 21+ (Wiskunde B, HAVO) and able to get them started from the basics when needed.

Majority of my previous students were admitted and graduated universities around the world, on topics that have mathematics as a background (e.g. architecture, construction engineering).
I'm currently working for a software company, but I'm willing to dedicate the afternoons/weekends to supporting kids learn and develop.

Teaching is a skill and I'm passionate about it. I've taught Mathematics and Physics to Children and Teenagers' for 2 years in Portugal. Currently I am in the Netherlands working at the European Space Agency in Mission Analysis. If you need Maths or Physics lessons I'll be glad to help :)

I am an Aerospace engineer, specialized in tutoring maths and physics to all levels of students.

I have unique and easy methods to make students understand the subject.

This class is for anyone struggling with science in general.

I can assure you will never be left behind in your class and in life.

I'm a pharmacist with many years of experience in teaching languages, and sciences amongst other subjects.
I offer a personalized approach to each individual and adapt to their objectives with a realistic and results-driven method to satisfy your needs.

Don't hesitate to contact me for any queries

I teach mathematics at all levels, from basic algebra for school students to calculus for university students.
The students can choose the course to be either a homework-aid, or revision on the learnt material, or previewing on some new knowledge that they will need, or even some more adavanced stuff.
Not only will I keep the student practicing with various and but not tedious task, but I will also teach how to tackle and think mathematically.

I could also teach physics for school level.

I have finished my undergraduate studies in engineering in USA and I have always been passionate about teaching kids Math and Science. I have 3 years of tutoring experience after I finished my studies . My Math classes are very interactive, with lots of new material to learn and an interesting and fun environment for children to learn.
