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.

True mastery of chemistry comes from conceptual clarity, not rote learning. Combining the rigorous edge of a National Gold Medalist with four years of hands-on experience mentoring 200+ students, I build structured learning paths tailored to your exact goals. My online classes are completely interactive, leveraging a digital writing tablet to make complex problem-solving feel natural and intuitive.
I believe if you feel unsuccessful you should try, if you are trying you must be patient and if you are pleased with everything, you have to raise your expectations.

Hi! I'm an undergraduate student at Bocconi University in Milan, pursuing a degree in Economics and Finance. While numbers and markets are my academic focus, Mathematics and English have always been my true passions — and I've built a strong track record to back that up.

I scored 1530 on the SAT (800 in Math, 730 in English) and an 8.0 on IELTS, reflecting both analytical precision and strong command of the English language. Beyond test scores, studying at a top European business school has sharpened my ability to break down complex ideas, think critically, and communicate clearly — skills I bring directly into every tutoring session.

I tutor Mathematics, English, and Social Studies, and I tailor my approach to each student's learning style — whether that means building strong foundations, exam preparation or helping students develop genuine confidence in subjects they've struggled with.

I'm patient, structured, and genuinely invested in helping students not just get the right answer, but understand why it's right — a mindset shaped by my own academic journey from high school through a demanding international university. Looking forward to helping you or your child achieve real academic progress!

• Algebraic expressions, equations, inequalities, and systems
• Functions, graphs, and transformations
• Geometry and analytic geometry
• Trigonometry
• Precalculus
• Limits and continuity
• Differential calculus and applications
• Integral calculus and applications
• Sequences and series
• Multivariable calculus
• Linear algebra, matrices, vectors, and systems
• Differential equations
• Numerical methods
• Applied and engineering mathematics

STATISTICS, PROBABILITY & ECONOMETRICS
• Descriptive statistics

Depending on your needs, practical work may involve Excel, SPSS, Stata, R, SAS, Power BI, SQL, Python, or other relevant analytical tools. Software is never treated as a substitute for understanding: I explain the reasoning behind the method, the assumptions involved, the meaning of the output, and how to verify whether the conclusion is sound.

My teaching approach follows a clear progression:
understand the problem → identify the appropriate concept or method → develop the reasoning → calculate or analyze → verify the result → interpret it → communicate the conclusion

We can work with your course syllabus, textbook, representative exercises, exam topics, dataset, statistical output, research question, spreadsheet, dashboard, engineering application, or professional analytical problem.

Whether you are rebuilding mathematical foundations, preparing for an examination, studying advanced calculus, learning statistics, conducting econometric analysis, interpreting research data, or developing practical analytical skills, I will adapt the sessions to your level, objectives, and pace.

My goal is not merely to help you obtain an answer, but to help you understand the reasoning, choose appropriate methods, verify results, interpret findings correctly, and solve new problems independently.

As a Bachelor of Physics student at EPFL (currently in my 3rd year), I offer private tutoring in mathematics and physics, from secondary/gymnasium level up to the first year of university.

My background covers a broad spectrum: quantum mechanics, analysis and physics, mathematics, thermodynamics, numerical methods, and optics. This solid foundation allows me to support students preparing for high school graduation exams or pre-university level, as well as those in the first years of higher education (EPFL, UNIL, preparatory classes).

My method prioritizes rigor and in-depth understanding rather than rote learning: we revisit each step of a line of reasoning or demonstration until the concept is truly grasped, with targeted exercises to consolidate.

Courses available in person (Lausanne region) or via videoconference, with an interactive whiteboard to follow the calculations live.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your specific needs (level, subject matter, objectives).

Hello! My name is Kelechi, and I am an aspiring maths tutor with a genuine passion for helping students succeed. I got a grade 9 in IGCSE Maths, so I know what is required to get top grades and how hard the subject can feel at times.

Each one-hour lesson will be custom-designed to help you gain understanding and confidence as you learn with me. We will cover the topic in detail so that you fully understand the main concepts before you start applying them to exam-style questions. As your confidence grows, we will work our way up to the more difficult questions so that you will be well prepared for your exams.

It would be the first time I teach online, but I believe I have good experience from teaching my classmates. I like to simplify difficult concepts to make them easy to understand, and always tell students to ask questions any time they are not sure of anything.

My goal is to create a welcoming and encouraging learning environment where you feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and develop the skills required to get the best grade you possibly can. I would love the opportunity to help you reach your maths goals!
