MATHS made easy with PhD student in Geophysics with 7+ years experience

From 47 £ /h

With 7+ years' experience in education, I have coached over 50 students to improve their academic results and boost their confidence in math and physics.

My tutoring services always include a personalized plan for each student. This plan is established during the first session where I like to meet the student, better understand their difficulties and get to know their schedule.

In the first session, we will:

- Get to know each other.
- Understand the student's strengths and identify areas for improvement.
- Understand the student's needs and difficulties.
- Get to know the student's schedule.
- Create a tutoring plan

Typically, sessions take place as follows:
i. Theoretical review of complex concepts in simple terms
ii. Tips for solving problems
iii. Abundance of exercises from my databases (exams, exercises)

If you are interested in my services, please provide the following information when contacting me:

- School system (French Bac, Matu, IB, A-levels)
- Location of tutoring (or video tutoring if applicable)
- Number of sessions per week and preferred days and times of the week (this can also be discussed after the first session, if you prefer)

I will take note of the student's difficulties in the subject, more precisely on the subject and will issue an action plan so that he or she can better understand it.

I could thus help the student with his/her homework, prepare him/her for his/her exams, and understand his/her subjects.

I will do everything necessary and what is in my power for the success of the students who ask me and for them to be focused in their year.

For any student from primary school to the last year of the orientation cycle.

As a private mathematics tutor with over 10 years of experience, I support students from secondary school to pre-university level, including IB Mathematics AA/AI SL/HL, pre-IB and Swiss Maturity.

My approach prioritizes understanding and autonomy. Rather than rote learning, we work on grasping concepts, precisely identifying difficulties, and building solid mathematical reasoning. Lessons are tailored to each student's level, objectives, and learning style.

I can assist you with:
– consolidate the concepts seen in class and fill in the gaps;
– prepare for tests, exams and assessments;
– develop problem-solving methods and reasoning;
– improve examination technique and strategy;
– to progress towards greater confidence and autonomy in mathematics.

I obtained the International Baccalaureate in 2017 with 45/45, with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at the higher level, then went on to university studies in mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, where I obtained a Diploma of Higher Education (DipHE) in Mathematics.

Courses can be delivered in person in the Geneva region or online.

Hi! My name is Losel, I'm an IB graduate who scored 7 in both Math AA HL and Physics HL. I've just graduated magna cum laude with a double bachelor in mathematics and physics from École Polytechnique (Paris) and am now doing a master's in Quantum Science and Engineering at EPFL.

I offer one-on-one online tutoring, with an iPad and camera setup so we can work through problems together in real time, just like in person. I can help with:

Concepts: Going through your lectures and building intuition, clearing up the hard concepts.

Exercises and past papers: Understanding the exercises (best way to get a good grade btw), as well as exam strategy and how to solve problems faster.

IA and EE: choosing a strong topic, structuring the paper, and refining drafts.

University applications: personal statements, choosing programs, mock technical interviews, and how to maximize your chances to get into a top uni.

I've been through the IB myself, so I know where it gets tough and how to succeed through it. No two students need the same thing, so we'll set clear goals together and work toward them at your pace.

I teach in English, but I also have a C1 in French, so we can mix. I also speak Portuguese and Danish fluently.
