Calculus & Math (HS + first-year uni) — limits, derivatives, integrals, and problem-solving strategies

From 20.53 £ /h

Math becomes manageable when you see it step by step. I help students build solid foundations and tackle problems with confidence.

For: high-school (algebra, pre-calculus, IB HL math, A-level math) and first-year university Calculus I–II.

We cover functions and graphs, limits and continuity, derivatives and applications (rates, optimization, curve sketching), integrals and applications (area, volume, accumulation), sequences/series, and basic vectors/linear algebra if required.

A typical 60-minute lesson: 1) short diagnostic to spot weak points, 2) concise concept explanation, 3) guided examples → independent practice, 4) exam-style problem under light time pressure, 5) recap and small next-step plan with an error log to track progress.

Available online (interactive whiteboard, problem banks) .

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

20.53 £ /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.

Maths for Everyone is a class designed for people who want to understand maths clearly and without fear. It is open to learners of all backgrounds, whether you struggled with maths before or simply want a stronger foundation.

The class focuses on real understanding rather than memorising formulas. Concepts are explained step by step using simple language, clear examples, and practical intuition. Students are encouraged to ask questions, make mistakes, and build confidence at their own pace.

Lessons are adapted to the level of the learners and may cover core arithmetic, algebra, functions, graphs, probability, basic statistics, and problem solving skills. The goal is not speed, but clarity and confidence.

No prior knowledge is required. The aim of this class is to make maths understandable, useful, and accessible to everyone.

I am a dynamic and demanding teacher who gives private lessons in Physics-Chemistry as well as Mathematics.

I graduated from teaching seven years ago, after a masters in physical sciences with honors, and I teach in college and high school since.
I have also been preparing students for the Baccalaureate Science for many years, all of whom have been awarded very good honors.
I also prepare my students for different exams (Matu, Bac, preparation for EPFL, etc...)

I make sure to rework the basics so that the student can progress quickly. It is important to me that my students acquire a solid foundation of knowledge.
I also give effective work methods that will allow him to progress much more quickly and so he can regain self-confidence.

I can travel to the student's home or also conduct the lesson via Zoom/Google Meet.
