About Me
Hi! My name is André, and I'm a PhD graduate from the University of Manchester. I have been in academia for 10 years now, so I have lots of experience in Physics, Mathematics, and Programming, and in teaching those subjects. I'm comfortable in teaching advanced material, but also the more basic stuff (which is sometimes the most difficult to teach right!).
My teaching style is clear and direct, but not overly formal. My priority is getting the students engaged first, and then present the material in the clearest, most concise way possible. Then, I try to feel where the student is having the most trouble, understand why, and then tackle those pain points in a targeted manner.
I find that this approach has had great success for me, and students themselves like it!
On a personal level, I am communicative, humble, friendly, and approachable. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and reading historical fiction.
If you think I may be able to help you, do not hesitate to drop me a line. I look forward to working with you!
Tutor Experience
As an assistant teacher at the University of Manchester, I have helped students understand the course material, including 1-on-1 tutoring and large-classroom learning. I was responsible for classes, including teaching and evaluation methods. During the pandemic, this has shifted online, so I had to find new ways to adapt and to maintain a high-quality learning environment in a very challenging time.
As a private tutor, I have been teaching since 2012, and I have now several thousands of hours of experience helping students in a variety of subjects, at a variety of levels, mainly secondary school and university students. I have gained valuable insights on the needs of students, as well as the areas where challenges more often arise. This has given me the necessary skills to help all students achieve their goals, with the necessary amount of work on their part. I feel confident enough to say that I can help any student succeed, in my areas of expertise.
Topic Expertise
My main three topics are Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. I am comfortable teaching these subjects at virtually any level.
