Tutoring for students in mathematics, English or biology

From 34 £ /h

Problems in mathematics or in the English school subject? No problem! I'm Miriam, a sixth year high school student. I've always been passionate about both math and the English language! Since I don't have much to do at the moment, I thought I'd get in touch with all students from 1st to 8th grade. Class to help.

Extra information

All I need to do is tell me which issues are causing you problems :)

About Me

I am a very open person and would want exactly the same thing that the student wanted. Ever since I was little I have noticed that it is difficult to learn something if you do not feel comfortable about it. Therefore, a good bond and, above all, trust in the student is very important to me. The well-being of the students is my top priority and has a high priority.

Education

I took the Gymi exam from sixth grade and passed it. Unfortunately, I failed my probationary period due to my bad grades in Latin. I repeated the exam from the second secondary level and am now in the sixth grade at the Gymnasium Zürich Nord.

Experience / Qualifications

I have had satisfactory grades in both mathematics and English since primary school. I am therefore very satisfied and would like to share my knowledge in the two subjects with students who may have problems in these subjects.

Hey! Are you looking for a young, approachable yet meticulous tutor in Computer Science or Mathematics? Then I believe I might be the tutor for you! I offer lessons in the aforementioned subjects (English only) for high-school and bachelor students at the start of their studies.

A little bit about me:
My name is Bozhidar and I am a MSc Data Science student at ETH Zuerich. Last year, I completed my bachelor's in Computer Science at TU Delft (the #1 technical university in the Netherlands) with distinction. I was a teaching assistant for 10 courses during my stay at the university. Additionally, I have given private lessons to a few high school and bachelor's students, so I believe I have accumulated enough experience with guiding and tutoring students across different disciplines. I have found out that I enjoy teaching a lot, so that is why I am here - to help you and myself!

My expertise:
During my high school years, I won tens of awards and scholarships for achievements in Mathematics and Computer Science. I also won my high school's recognition award which is given to one student every year for distinctive results. I've helped high-school and university peers with exam preparation, taught whole courses privately, prepared sample exams, and reviewed and graded real ones. Regarding the university courses I have experience in, I have taught:
- Object-Oriented Programming
- Reasoning & Logic
- Computer Organisation
- Algorithms and Data Structures
- Web and Database Technologies
- Calculus
- Information & Data Management
- Automata, Computability and Complexity
- Concepts of Programming Languages
- Computational Intelligence

Here are some of the reviews I have received as a teaching assistant:
Overall: 4.97/5 (70 reviews)
5/5 - "Great job! Did far more than just explaining this example and went far deeper into the material, helping me to understand it."
5/5 - "Favourite TA. Always there for the difficult questions. Never leaves anything unanswered no matter how long it takes."
5/5 - "Delightful person with an insightful way of thought! Brilliant TA!"
5/5 - "Clear explanations and expert in the material"

So, what are you waiting for? Write me a message and let's get the knowledge train running.

Have you been staring at the equations that the teachers write as if you were looking at hieroglyphs on the wall? Do you feel stuck when you are confronted by your exercises, not a single idea coming to mind? My name is Bastien, I studied Physics for my Bachelor's at EPFL and a Master's in Quantum Engineering at ETH. During my studies, I was a Teaching Assistant for classes in Electromagnetism, Fluid Dynamics, Analysis, and Special Relativity. I also gave private lessons to students in need before their exams. Through these experiences, I discovered that no matter your level we all tend to get stuck in front of math equations at one point or another. We get lost in the details and seem to be unable to see the big picture, to understand where all of this is going, and why any of it is useful at all.

In these classes, I want to help you deal with these issues. It doesn't matter if you are in middle school, high school, or starting your Bachelor's. The goal of these classes is to help you cultivate the skills needed not only to improve your grades but also to be a better problem solver. I will help you develop your passion and curiosity for mathematics. The passion that you maybe never knew you had! We will look at mathematics not as a monolithic entity but as a language. Ultimately, mathematical excellence can be decomposed into four primary skills: memory, patience, curiosity, and creativity. During this class, we will:

🟢 Assess in which areas you are struggling

🟢 Come up with a plan tailored to your needs

🟢 Fill in the gaps in your understanding

🟢 Stay up to date with the content of your classes

Mathematics in the end is not about the mathematics themselves. It is about the problems they allow us to solve and the language they give us to confront them.

If you have any questions about this class, my availability, or pricing, please don't hesitate to contact me. Click the blue "Contact Bastien" button above and let's discuss!

One-on-one English lessons for children between the ages of three and twelve.

Each lesson is fun, interactive, and tailored to your child’s age, ability, and mood. I take a gentle, intuitive approach that allows your child to feel comfortable while naturally progressing in their language skills. At the heart of every lesson is playfulness and joy.

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

So far, I’ve supported three children—including my stepdaughter—on their English learning journey. All of them are now speaking fluent English with confidence.

I offer English and French lessons for Arabic-speaking pupils, students and adults wishing to improve their language level in a clear and structured way.
Thanks to my fluency in Arabic, French, and English, I can explain rules, vocabulary, and difficulties in a simple way, drawing connections between the languages. This is particularly helpful for beginners or students who need patient and gradual guidance.

Courses may include:
- grammar and vocabulary
- conversation
- written and oral comprehension
- writing
- exam preparation
- scientific or medical English
- assistance with presentations and academic work

I adapt each lesson to the student's level, objectives, and pace.

Math ans Physics can be a real burden for some students, the target of this class is exaclty making them bearable and help the students find their own way into the subjects.
The priority will always be the student feeling comfortable in studying and finding the best way to approach Math.

The lessons will be targeted on the specific level of the students and the objectives will be defined together at the beginning of the classes.

Choosing the right path to higher education can be challenging. As your guidance counselor, tutor, and application agent, I will guide you through the whole process, from choosing the programs you want to apply to, to preparing the applications, submitting before deadlines, sifting through results, and, when necessary, preparing visa applications.

I specialize in applications to North America and Europe (UK, France, Netherlands, Spain, Italy...), both at the BA and MA levels.

IN :
I teach all levels, from secondary school through university, mainly in maths and physics. I'm currently doing a master's in the Mathematics Department at ETH Zürich, after a bachelor's in Aerospace Engineering from TU Delft (Netherlands).

Lessons taught in English or French only.

I prepare students for international curricula: IB (Maths AA/AI, both HL and SL), IGCSE and A-Levels, as taught at Zurich's international schools (ZIS, ICS, SIS, Lycée Français, and others), as well as the French baccalaureate (maths and physics-chemistry specialisms). At university level, I help with engineering maths (Calculus 1 & 2, differential equations, linear algebra) along with statics and dynamics, subjects I covered extensively during my degree, including for ETH and UZH students following courses taught in English.

Depending on what's needed, I can introduce new concepts, consolidate material already covered in class, or prepare for exams through mock tests and past papers under real conditions. I adapt to each student's learning style to make sessions as effective as possible.

I am a PhD physicist and teacher known for being able to explain the most complex topics in the simplest way, from Newton's laws to the high-school student, to quantum physics to the university student.

Teaching focus:
- Fundamental theory: most difficulty in solving exam problems does not come from the complexity of the problem but from the student not being comfortable with the theory.
- Problem solving: breaking a question down into its simplest parts, visualising the physics involved.

Format:
- Lessons at my home where I have a whiteboard and desk set up for teaching
- Online via Google meet
- Lessons at the student home (depending on distance, possible surcharge)

Exams: Any pre-university examination, including Matura, PAM, IB, A-levels. The type of exam is not as important as the topics being studied.

What students say:
- "I had to repeat the first semester of medical school because of physics, and after working with Ralph, physics actually became one of my best subjects. He explained the theory incredibly clearly and went through the exercises step by step. I could ask questions at any time, and I was also able to decide what pace we wanted to work at during our lessons." (Helena, UZH student)

Personal accomplishments:
- Gold medalist at the International Astronomy Olympiad (Beijing 2005)
- Lecturer at ETH Zurich 2020-2024
- Phd in Theoretical Physics, University of Bristol
- B.Tech. in Engineering Physics, IIT Bombay
