Maths Tutoring (focusing on creativity and problem solving)

My goal is to help student build their own mental framework for navigating mathematics. The key is learning to synthesize new information while also gaining skills necessary for advancing in mathematics. I strive to help students build a mathematical intuition by using teaching techniques such as geometric proofs and story proofs. My hope is that students will not simply learn to complete assignments and find the right answer, but rather that they would develop a "healthy relationship" with maths based on understanding, exploration, creativity, and imagination.

Ideal for UK students in secondary school and sixth form or American students in high school and late middle school. I am also happy to tutor through SAT and ACT mathematics!

About Me

About me:
Hi there! I'm Daniel, a graduate of St. Andrews university with a degree in Mathematics and Philosophy. I now study pure mathematics with a focus on logic. I discovered my love of mathematics and logic later only after I began university, so I believe it's never too late to 'become a math person.' All it takes is the right teacher/tutor who makes the ideas 'click' for you! I would love to help you understand math and logic better! I can tutor anything from middle school math to calculus. I especially love tutoring logic: Aristotelian, first-order classical, modal... you name it!

My Approach:
My goal is to help students build their own mental map for navigating mathematics. I strive to teach students to understand how the various aspects of what they are learning fit together. The primary way I do this is through visual/geometric proofs and aids that illustrate and motivate the equations and formulae. However, since not every student will connect with my preferred explanation, I like to slow down and find what works for each student. I will often give a student specific examples to work through that help me discover his pattern of reasoning. That way, we can see clearly how to improve a student's problem-solving skills. I want my students to develop a relationship with mathematics based on exploration, creativity, and competence.

My qualifications:
I hold a first class degree from University of St. Andrews, one of the top ranked universities in the UK for mathematics and for philosophy. In my studies, I especially focused on algebra (group theory, ring theory), logic (classical, non-classical, model theory), and set theory (specially ordinal numbers).

My Experience:
I have been tutoring on-and-off throughout my studies for the last 4 years. I have previously tutored both high school and university students in small in-person sessions as well as one-to-one online. Past examples of tutoring include: SAT math, AP calculus, and university-level logic.

Student Testimonials:
"I highly recommend Daniel as a tutor, due to both his expertise and disposition. Not only does he understand the material well, but his patience in explaining the subject matter helped me enormously. He can explain things well for every kind of learner, which I found especially helpful as a visual learner myself. If in need of help, I would definitely recommend Daniel!!" -- Havana (undergraduate at University of St. Andrews)

Education

B.A. in Economics and Business Analytics, Patrick Henry College, summa cum laude.
Joint Honours in Mathematics and Philosphy, University of St. Andrews, first-class

Experience / Qualifications

I have experience tutoring mathematics (up through calculus and linear algebra) and logic .

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Jorge Luis Solis
Learn Mathematics by Inventing Each Mathematical Object
As a mathematics undergraduate student, I know that the way math is taught from elementary school to high school often relies on memorizing formulas and knowing where to apply them, which makes learning tedious and boring. In my classes, I aim to explain each mathematical concept based on what my students already know and what they don’t, to encourage them to understand why such an object arises. I strive to make them feel like they are discovering it for the first time so they can truly make the knowledge their own. The classes can cover topics such as algebra, geometry, analytic geometry, precalculus, integral and differential calculus, multivariable calculus, set theory, mathematical logic, linear algebra, differential equations, probability, and modern algebra.

Mathematics and physics lessons for secondary and higher education
I have a PhD in physics. I have several years of experience at various tutoring agencies. I always start by going over the theory, after which I work out a number of exercises together with the student. Afterwards I let the student do exercises themselves and correct where necessary. That is where they learn the most. It is important to gain insight into the subject matter
