Sciences Tutoring, Homework and Exam Support (ages 8-16)
Sciences are some of the most challenging subjects in primary and middle school, and some of the most exciting nonetheless; I will help your child see the beauty and simplicity in the heart of physics, chemistry or biology, and thus excel at them. My approach is flexible. I can do any of: re-explain difficult material to the student; help with homework; supervise and guide them in preparation for exams and tests. All my teaching, however, is always accompanied by quizzes and questions to ensure understanding and gauge progress. I'm a high-school student specialising in these subjects, consistently scoring best-in-school scores for them for the past 5 years. Although my main area of interest in mathematics - I am a member of the Cyprus National Mathematics Team - my mathematical and educational passion swiftly translates into science tutoring talent. I already possess experience in teaching sciences, teaching a student in 9th grade biology.

Eloïse
Engineer gives private lessons in Maths and Physics-Chemistry
Currently a doctoral student in psychoacoustics at INSA Lyon after having completed my engineering course and having already given private lessons for more than 10 years, from primary to final year, in sciences (Maths and Physics-Chemistry), in English or for general academic support, I am available for private lessons in the scientific field. From middle school to final year of science, mainly in Maths and Physics-Chemistry or Engineering Sciences. I can also teach BTS or license as well as help you in preparing for competitions. The emphasis is on students' understanding of the course, this is the first step to success. Rather than having them recite it by heart, I always try to make them understand the essentials of the exercises and lessons. It is understanding and discussion that helps develop the mind, logic and self-confidence.
