About Me

I was born and raised in Brazil, but with time I had many opportunities to live abroad and practice languages around the world.
During my freshman year I decided to work at McDonald's in Alabama to improve my English for three months. Just after that, I also traveled to Zambia for a community building conference to solve local problems with local resources.
I went to MIT in 2015 as an exchange student due to my experience and worked with MakerNurse doing research in electronics for healthcare.
Now, after my Master's in Electronic Engineering I moved to Leuven to pursue my Ph.D. in state-of-the-art electronics at Imec.

As a native English speaking American, I aim to improve my student's breadth of grammar and understanding of the English language through one-on-one and group lessons, advancing from any level. Having spent all my life in the United States, I also can train my students on the American vernacular and culture. I have a minor in English Literature from a college in Chicago.

In a personal learning route you walk on your own level and at your own pace through vocabulary, grammar and especially talking.
No school stuff, but a lot of variety to stimulate your GOESTING for the language and give a boost to your self-confidence.
YES, YOU CAN!
I am a certified language teacher (NL-ENG) with many years of experience in schools, adult education and companies, and consider me a 'language desire architect'.
Together we open doors in a creative way, we bring the world a piece of 'on your doorstep'.
And, who knows, in the near future you will have a (linguistic) lump richer!

I currently work as a private language teacher in Belgium and I have a good level of English. As I am not a native speaker, I do not give advanced lessons. People from any age, including kids, can follow my English lessons for levels A1, A2 and B1.

- As for the lessons.
The lessons are about mathematics of secondary education. More specifically, I will assist in the theoretical processing of mathematics as its application (the exercises).
In addition, I will provide additional study material (aids, schedules, ...) if necessary.

- Way of handling.
I would like to have an overview in advance of the study material, the tests or tasks in which certain problems are visible, .... This way I can prepare the lessons in advance and focus on the problem. In addition, I can estimate / determine his / her level in this way.
I try, in a simple way and for the student in an understandable way, to explain the course in a different way so that this is clear to the student. Afterwards I like to enjoy the results.

- Why am I doing this?
Math is a passion of mine and for me there is nothing more fun than sharing my passion. Unfortunately, my love for mathematics is not part of my studies and that is why I like to do this as a hobby and as an extra income. Of course I work professionally.

- Experiences?
I love nothing more than tutoring my fellow students about the subject matter. This is appreciated by them.
Of course I also have experience in tutoring mathematics of both primary and secondary education.

- Who am I?
My name is Arina and I'm a law student. I'm 26 years old and live and rent a room in Leuven.

I'm very approachable, enthusiastic, and open. In my experience, this often helps strengthen my bond with the young person, making them feel comfortable around me. They feel comfortable asking any questions they have. They feel comfortable calling or texting me if they're stuck on an exercise. Even later, when I'm no longer tutoring them, they feel comfortable asking questions if they get stuck.

In secondary school itself, I had a less good experience in the first and second year of secondary school in the subject of mathematics.
I found it a very interesting subject, but I just couldn't grasp it. Throughout those years, I had the same teacher, who didn't teach me the material in a way that was right for me.

After receiving tutoring (forced by my parents), my interest in mathematics grew so much that I studied economics and mathematics for the next few years. My love for mathematics just won't go away...
Because I no longer received any mathematics lessons in my further education, I chose to fill this gap by giving private lessons myself.

Mathematics and science subjects can weigh heavily on your study career during secondary education. It is therefore important to perform well on this. This can be a challenge for many students, especially in the third grade. In my lesson I try to explain the subject matter to students based on their own course, my old course and extra exercises. The ultimate goal is that the students gain a better understanding of their course.

As a dedicated tutor with over six years of experience, I specialize in teaching Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry to students of all levels, from primary school to university. My academic background is robust, holding honors degrees from both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine. This diverse educational experience has equipped me with a strong foundation in scientific principles and the analytical skills necessary for effective teaching. My tutoring journey began while I was still at university, where I was consistently ranked among the top of my class. This early start ignited my passion for education and set the stage for a fulfilling career in tutoring.

My teaching approach is carefully tailored to meet each student’s individual needs. I recognize that every learner has a unique style and pace, and I strive to adapt my methods accordingly. Whether a student requires in-depth explanations of complex theories or concise summaries of key concepts, I ensure that my lessons cater to their specific requirements. This flexibility allows me to build a strong foundation in core concepts while guiding students through practical problem-solving techniques that are essential for mastering the subjects.

In my lessons, I focus not only on helping students grasp the subject matter but also on developing critical thinking and analytical skills. I believe that understanding the "why" behind mathematical and scientific concepts is crucial for long-term retention and application. Therefore, I encourage students to engage in discussions, ask questions, and explore the material deeply. This interactive approach fosters a love for learning and promotes intellectual curiosity, which is vital for success in any academic endeavor.

I offer tutoring sessions in various formats to accommodate different preferences and circumstances. Students can choose in-person sessions at my location or opt for online tutoring using an interactive whiteboard and video platforms like Zoom or Skype. This modern setup provides a seamless learning experience that is just as effective as face-to-face instruction. My goal is to create an engaging and supportive environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing many of my students achieve outstanding results, including grades of "Excellent," "Very Good," and "Good." This success is particularly rewarding when I see students who initially struggled make significant progress. By identifying and addressing their unique learning gaps, I help them develop the confidence and skills necessary to excel in their studies.

I am committed to empowering students with the tools they need to succeed in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. My lessons are designed to demystify complex concepts and make them clear and accessible. I strive to instill a sense of accomplishment in each student, guiding them to reach their maximum potential.

In addition to academic support, I also emphasize the importance of cultivating a growth mindset. I encourage my students to view challenges as opportunities for growth, helping them develop resilience and perseverance that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

If you are seeking a dedicated tutor who can provide personalized support and foster academic excellence, I invite you to reach out. Whether you are a student looking to improve your grades or a parent seeking guidance for your child, I am here to help. Let’s embark on a journey of discovery and achievement together, ensuring that every student can excel in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry!

Classes are in English or Spanish.

I offer tutoring in chemistry, physics and mathematics to highschool students. As a person used to studying, doing exercises and not being the best in my class, I know that hard work is the path to do well in class. I firmly believe anyone can pass any exam, no matter how hard it is the course. With the appropriate attitude and mindset, no exercise is too complicated. Its just a matter of patience and perseverance.
I am patient and I will taggle the students most challenging topics, as well as being flexible to their proposals.

If you are interested, please send me a message and I will explain more details.

Good luck with your studies!!!

Math is a difficult subject that usually builds upon previous years and gets harder. It’s important that kids grasp the basics well first. As a person who used to struggle, i would love to help and get kids comfortable with the basics of maths.
