Mathematics Private Lessons and Workshops for all levels, from middle school to postgraduate education.

From 77.54 £ /h

I am a passionate teacher and I care for all my students. Learning mathematics is an emotional exercise. I always considered that being a good teacher is not only a mix of professional knowledge and skills, but also an ability to empathise and build relationships with the students. I do believe that the emotional and the affective dimensions of teaching are fundamental to being an effective teacher. When asked to complete the sentence “A good teacher should...”, a French pupil responded “listen to us, support us, teach us”.

In all my teaching experience, whether at sixth grade or at college and graduate levels, I have found that instead of getting frustrated with my students’ knowledge gaps and misconceptions, I could make my teaching more satisfying and more effective, by recognizing that all the students have learning potential and intellectual curiosity and by encouraging them to get a deeper understanding of the mathematical concepts.

The fluid nature of the Internet creates a learning environment that could be highly motivating for students raised within the digital era. I believe that, since the real purpose of education is to prepare and equip students for what happens beyond the classroom, the online collaborative learning communities can be also very efficient.

About Me

My private practice is based on more than 25 years of teaching, tutoring, counselling, and research in Europe and Asia. I promote positive education in mathematics, encouraging students to use their strengths and to love mathematics. I have taught mathematics at all levels, from middle school (e.g., The French International School of Hong Kong) to high school (e.g., National Colleges in Romania) and to University level both undergraduate and postgraduate (e.g., City University of Hong Kong).

While teaching in multi-cultural environments, I aimed for a culturally sensitive pedagogy. In International Schools, students have different biographical or cultural background and consequently, individual ways of thinking and posing the various mathematics operations. When different approaches are explicitly confronted in mathematics private lessons, learners can relativize their personal views, widen their learning perspectives, and acquire deeper chances for real mathematics learning.

Education is not an island, but part of the continent of culture. Twelve years ago I noticed that my students had mathematical anxiety and thus, aiming to become a better teacher, I decided to study more about emotions, neurosciences and psychological counselling. Adding positive psychology methods to mathematics education have proved to be a success formula and my students had benefited: “We love mathematics because you let us express ourselves and we are not afraid to make mistakes”.

When students are given opportunities to ask their own questions and to formulate problems, they know mathematics is still alive, not something that has been already decided and just needs to be memorized. Posing and sharing with my students problem-based investigations, I see that they enjoy mathematics more and that they feel as the owners of their work.

I am a French student in Zurich (at ETH) and offers French, maths and physics classes.

I'm used to it and I've been tutoring for several years. I like it a lot - I also want to be a teacher and researcher, be patient, even if I expect a lot from the student. The goal is to better understand the basics and show what is interesting in the subject, so that the student is properly motivated.

Tristan is a Master student in the department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, where he is specialized in artificial intelligence and data analysis. He completed his Bachelor’s degree in Communication Systems at EPFL in Lausanne.

Tristan has experience in tutoring as he was a teaching assistant in undergraduate Math and Digital System Design courses at EPFL. He provided lessons to help students understand lectures, complete exercises and lab work. As a tutor, Tristan tailors his lessons to each student and provides methodologies to efficiently learn and work for examinations. He also emphasizes on improving self-confidence, which he believes is a key element in academic success.

He teaches Math, French, Physics and Programming Languages at school level as well as Math, French and Programming Languages at university level.

I'm a Spanish student currently studying a Quantum Information MSc at ETH Zürich. Physics is my passion and I love to teach it, always in a way that the student can understand the concepts and see the beauty behind them. I have taught an uncountable number of students of all kind of levels, from school children that need help with the course to adult people seeking to pass a physics exam for a pilot license or university students.
In my 6 years of experience on teaching, what I have learnt is that usually most students just need a bit of motivation, and the best way to give them that motivation is showing them that physics and mathematics are beautiful and fun!

I have a Surface Pro tablet that I normally use for aid during the class. It's very useful to show the students animations, videos and figures in order to transmit a better explanation of the concepts. I can also use it for giving classes through online videocall, sharing my screen and writing in it as it were a blackboard.

I'm native Spanish so I can teach Spanish as well.

Note: I'm currently learning German, so I'll be able to give classes in English or Spanish only.

Individual tutoring, guidance on homework and exam preparation for pupils, students and apprentices, at home or in other suitable learning locations.
As a rule, the student determines the desired learning material, but if necessary, the student can also provide his or her own exercises or homework.

I offer personalized tutoring courses in mathematics and physics, for all middle and high school students, in French, English or Italian. Last summer I obtained my bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics at the Ecole Polytechnique de Paris, and am now continuing my studies at ETH Zürich. With more than a year of experience in tutoring/academic support in the subjects mentioned with international students, I will be able to identify the needs and gaps of the student to be able to progress effectively and give the students the means to improve their grades. and understanding of their lessons.

I am offering tutoring session in Mathematics and Physics for all students in secondary and high school, in French, English or Italian. I graduated a few months ago with a Bachelor in Mathematics and physics from Ecole Polytechnique de Paris (France's number one engineering school), and I am currently studying my master degree at ETH Zürich. I have been giving tutoring session for international high school students for more than a year now, and this experience will allow me to identify the students' needs and gaps in order to efficiently make them progress and improve their grades and understanding.

English Tutoring for pre-school and primary school-aged children in the Zurich area with a native English-speaking teacher from England.

Would you like to give your child a head start in reading? I will gladly support your child in their academic development learning to read and write in English.

Would your child like to feel more confident with their schoolwork?
Perhaps they would benefit from improving their confidence in speaking as well as their reading, writing and grammar skills.

Small groups/siblings classes together on special request.
Prices include my travel costs (at your location) or room rental (at the Zurich city location).
