Currently a civil engineering student at KU Leuven, I offer math and science courses for all levels and ages. Whether you're struggling at school or preparing for the math Olympics, or nervous for the engineering entrance exam, I'm here for you.
I offer personalized monitoring for each student with an approach adapted to different profiles. My lessons are not focused on dry and indigestible theory, but more on the understanding of key concepts on the one hand, and on the other hand assimilation via exercises chosen according to the student.

I'm a Natural Sciences student at the University of Birmingham looking to tutor science or maths online over the summer. I can tutor any level from KS1 - GCSE for physics, and KS1 - A Level for chemistry, biology, and maths. I aim to give confidence and enjoyment in the subject, working with my student's own interests as well as following a syllabus. I am flexible to work with what you want to achieve.

I have two years tutoring experience, especially with home-educated children, and can provide references if needed. I am DBS checked with GirlGuiding UK.

Need help with math or science? As a 33-year-old civil engineer, I'm happy to help! I'll learn at your own pace, using plenty of examples to illustrate the material. I have years of experience teaching both simple and complex subjects.

The lessons run as follows. First of all, together we look for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I continue to work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give them tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once the student has mastered the exercises from the lesson, I give some more challenging exercises to also test on the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his / her test or exam.

However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a good relationship with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this lowers the barrier to ask questions and improves the student's learning process.

Are you interested? Do not hesitate to contact me!
See you soon!
