About Me

I’m Valerian, a Chemistry BSc from TU/e. I help high-school and first-year university students master Chemistry, Calculus/Math, and high-school Physics.

My tutoring is clear and structured: I diagnose where understanding breaks down, rebuild concepts step by step, and coach problem-solving so students become confident and independent. I care about efficiency, calm progress, and real understanding—not rote memorization. Lessons are in English, online worldwide. If you want clarity and steady results, I’d be happy to help.

Outside of teaching I love dancing, debating, and cooking — things that keep me curious, communicative, and creative, qualities I bring to every lesson.

Chemistry (IB/A-level/AP & first-year uni) — clear, step-by-step lessons with a Chemistry BSc tutor

20 £ /h

Chemistry can be challenging if it’s taught as pure memorization — my goal is to change that. With over 5 years of tutoring experience and a BSc in Chemistry from TU/e, I help students understand the “why” and “how” behind chemistry, turning tricky concepts into something logical and even enjoyable.

This class is for high school students (IB SL/HL, A-level, AP) and first-year university students taking General Chemistry. Lessons are in English and are ideal for international students or anyone who prefers studying in English.

We cover all major topics, including stoichiometry and moles, thermodynamics, equilibrium, acids, bases and buffers, kinetics, electrochemistry, atomic structure, bonding, and organic chemistry basics (nomenclature, mechanisms, isomerism).

A typical 60-minute lesson includes: 1) quick check-in and goal-setting, 2) a clear explanation with one core example, 3) guided practice with feedback, 4) an exam-style problem under light time pressure, and 5) recap and micro-homework with an error log to track recurring mistakes.

Lessons are available online (interactive whiteboard, past papers, custom notes) or in-person in Eindhoven.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material!

We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition.

The sessions generally take place according to the following stages:

1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps.

2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises.

3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach.

4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively.

5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course.

I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach.

In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.
