Excel, Math, physics, Calculus, Civil Engineer, Math is life, and life is good.
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!

Youness
Physics and Maths Tutor for all ages (GCSE, A-Level, Primary, Secondary School) including exam practice
Just done your mock exams? Are you ready to pull your grades all the way up? Or maybe looking to secure your ‘safe’ grade? Look no further. As a full time Data Lead and Exams Officer at Conisborough College, I have a unique view of performance metrics, and the latest knowledge on GCSE exams. With a specialism in Maths, Further Maths, and Physics, my style of teaching is an expression of my experiences as a student and a tutor. My past tutoring experiences ranges from teaching secondary school classrooms and a lot of work with 1-on-1's. While I have had State Schooling my successful early experiences with exams (SATS, GCSEs) set me up with a solid foundation and ideal to approach exams by myself and eventually find my area of expertise in everything Maths and Physics. When it comes to exam preparation, my strategy is always textbook oriented. My principle in education has always been to know what I don't know and then deal with my not-knowing of that chapter/area. I like to use what is known/understood as a warm up and get creative with it, probing the student's baselines and tactics. The warm up also gives you the winning-feeling about the subject and this is a feeling that grows and brings clarity such that it guided me year in, year out to go and understand every chapter to answer every topical exam question, and it can for you too. I offer in person, and online teaching and am willing to provide references on demand, but first let’s have a video call to discuss your needs further! Parlez vous Français? Vous venez de passer vos examens blancs ? Êtes-vous prêt à faire grimper vos notes ? Ou peut-être cherchez-vous simplement à sécuriser votre note « sûre » ? Ne cherchez pas plus loin. En tant que Data Lead et Responsable des Examens à Conisborough College, j’ai une vision unique des métriques de performance et des dernières évolutions concernant les examens du GCSE. Spécialisé en Mathématiques, Mathématiques Avancées et Physique, mon approche pédagogique est le reflet de mes expériences en tant qu’élève et tuteur. J’ai une large expérience dans l’enseignement, aussi bien en classe dans des établissements secondaires que lors de séances de tutorat individuelles. Bien que j’aie suivi une éducation publique, mes expériences réussies avec les examens (SATS, GCSEs) m’ont permis d’acquérir une base solide et une méthode idéale pour aborder les examens de manière autonome. C’est ainsi que j’ai pu me spécialiser dans les Mathématiques et la Physique. Lorsqu’il s’agit de préparation aux examens, ma stratégie repose toujours sur les manuels scolaires. Mon principe d’apprentissage est simple : identifier ce que je ne sais pas, puis m’attaquer à ces lacunes. J’aime commencer par ce qui est déjà connu et compris, en l’utilisant comme échauffement. Cela me permet d’évaluer le niveau et les stratégies de l’élève, tout en rendant l’apprentissage plus dynamique et créatif. Cet échauffement vous procure également un sentiment de réussite, qui se renforce au fil du temps et apporte une clarté essentielle. C’est cette approche qui m’a permis, année après année, d’assimiler chaque chapitre et de pouvoir répondre à chaque question d’examen. Elle peut faire la même chose pour vous. J’offre des cours en présentiel et en ligne et peux fournir des références sur demande. Mais avant tout, discutons de vos besoins lors d’un appel vidéo !
