Mathematics / Computer Science for Enthusiastic Students at Any Level

From 53.59 £ /h

During my high school education in Portugal, I found myself unchallenged and unmotivated by the math curriculum. Seven years later, as a mathematician at the beginning of my academic career, I think I'm an ideal tutor for students in a similar position—interested in math but not quite finding what they need at school. I'm also available to help more advanced students (from university or beyond) who need advice and direction on university-level topics. Additionally, I'm happy to help adults who need help restarting their mathematical education or filling in gaps in their understanding.

I'm interested in talking about anything mathematical, from linear inequalities to Hilbert's Nullstellensatz. I'm also familiar with computer science, both in theory and practice. I can easily take the reins and "lecture" on most topics but would prefer to steer towards whatever the student finds interesting. I strongly believe that learning math is an active, creative process.

About Me

Although I attended high school in Portugal and speak Portuguese fluently, I spent my earlier childhood in the United States. I studied at the University of Coimbra from 2016 to 2021, graduating with a degree in pure mathematics. My thesis was on geometric control theory, and I maintain an interest in differential geometry.

After a short time working in industry as a computer engineer, I decided that I needed to return to mathematics. I'm currently doing a Ph.D. in mathematics of machine learning at the University of Luxembourg.

When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person.

It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever.

I'm eternally grateful to that teacher.

My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities.

Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking.

Bad teachers teach every child the same way.

My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself.

When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar.

Math is life, and life is good.
Hello everyone! My name is Rafael. I have been teaching online and locally for over two years and I really enjoy it! I'm currently studying for my Ph.D.

If you are a parent who reads my profile, I do my best to make math enjoyable for students. It is a very difficult subject and sometimes students just need a boost of confidence and learn the basics. On the other hand, I like to encourage students who do well on their own. I like to challenge students and push their limits so that they become really strong mathematicians.

If you are a student reading my profile, know that I can really help you learn your math well and enjoy doing it! There are many different ways to explain any topic; my goal will be to make you comfortable with your skills.

That's all I have for you :) Have a wonderful day!
