Hello,

I attended MPSI-MP* preparatory classes in Paris (Louis le Grand) and studied engineering at Imperial College London and at the University of California.
I propose courses of mathematics, physics and French for the high school or course of engineer.

I was born and raised in Italy but I lived in the UK for almost 7 years. I started teaching Italian and English in 2015. I worked for private language schools and NATO Defense College in Rome. I teach children and adults, group and private lessons. My lessons are tailored to fit the level and the needs of my students. I always make sure that my students are in a serene environment and enjoy their lessons. I have the DILS-PG and the CELTA certifications to teach both Italian and English as a second language. Also, I have experience in preparing students for international exams such as KET, PET, FIRST.

I specialize in teaching children and adults. I make learning creative and fun and completely tailor made to each student's learning style and strengths. I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

English and Spanish teacher and have a Master's degree in Education from the National University of San Antonio Abad of Cusco. My diploma has been apostilled and subsequently officially translated into German for the Swiss System. I have been teaching English and Spanish in private schools, from A1 to C2 level, for seven years. I have experience in teaching students with different cognitive skills or difficulties to process the information received and also have the ability to teach a language without the need to use any word in other languages unless required. Not only have I given Spanish Grammar and conversation lessons, but focused on Anthropology, Cultural expressions and Literature. Besides teaching, I have translated material for lessons, Spanish-English English-Spanish, and interpreted Spanish-English and English-Spanish during health campaigns and social projects in rural communities with San Blas Spanish School. In Peru, I worked for the University of Sheffield, from England, supporting a researcher in translating interviews English-Spanish and Spanish-English and interpreting when interviewing local people. I have an A2 level in German from the Peruvian-German Cultural Association ACUPARI, licensed by the Goethe-Institut.

I am offering a course to prepare for exams and in general solidify the knowledge in Biology, Chemistry and basic Maths. It is aimed for school students and those beginning their Bachelor's study in university. The program will be personalised according to the student's needs and the ressources will be taken from the student's curriculum or from other sources recommended by the school or university. Group lessons are also possible. The language is English, German or French

Hi. I’m Manuel from the capital of Spain, Madrid. Currently I’m living in Liechtenstein finishing my Architecture Master.
When I was living in my country I never before could imagine how people loves the Spanish language. As a foreign here I realized that people from Switzerland considered the Spanish language as the second most important in the list after English. I just wanna enjoy with you sharing my Knowledge, and you could learn the native expressions (different than the book learning technic).

Have a nice day

Welcome to my Foundation Course in Science and Maths, specially designed for primary, secondary, and high school students in Amsterdam. This course aims to build a strong foundation in these critical subjects, ensuring students excel academically and develop a genuine love for learning.

My teaching approach is focused on making learning enjoyable and engaging. I incorporate interactive activities and hands-on experiments to bring Science and Maths concepts to life. By involving students in these dynamic learning experiences, I aim to transform abstract concepts into tangible understanding. Each session is thoughtfully designed to keep students interested and motivated, minimizing fatigue and maximizing retention.

I believe in simplifying complex topics, breaking them down into easy-to-understand segments. This approach helps students grasp and retain challenging concepts with ease. Techniques such as mnemonic devices, visual aids, and real-life examples are integral to my method, ensuring that formulas and concepts are not just memorized, but truly understood.

Regular assessments are conducted to track student progress and identify areas needing improvement. These tests also prepare students for their school exams, ultimately boosting their confidence. I understand the importance of keeping parents informed and involved in their child’s academic journey. That's why I provide weekly reports detailing their child’s progress, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuous feedback loop ensures that parents are aware of their child’s development and can support their learning at home.

Encouraging words and positive feedback are integral to my teaching method. I strive to build students' self-confidence and to instill a love for learning through positive reinforcement. Setting achievable goals for each student, I celebrate their successes and motivate them to strive for excellence. This goal-setting approach not only drives academic success but also fosters a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

As a tutor, my satisfaction comes from seeing my students excel and reach their full potential. My ultimate goal is to empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in Science and Maths. I am always available to support my students, offering additional help and resources as needed to ensure their success.

I foster an open environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, no matter how simple they may seem. This curiosity drives deeper understanding and encourages a proactive approach to learning. By incorporating games, puzzles, and interesting activities, I ensure that learning remains fun and engaging, keeping students excited about the subjects.

Join my Foundation Course in Science and Maths and watch your child develop a strong foundation, confidence, and a genuine love for these essential subjects. Let’s work together to achieve academic excellence and make learning a fun and rewarding experience. “Excel in Subjects, Soar in Confidence!”

Parents have described me as exceptionally kind, creative, and patient person, with a natural ability to connect with children.
