Fabrice

Hi, I’m Fabrice. Originally from France, I pursued postgraduate studies there before continuing my education in Argentina, eventually earning an MSc in Computer Science (IT security) in Barcelona, Spain. I now call the United Kingdom home.

Fluent in French, Spanish & English, I’m a software engineer by trade but I wish to start tutoring math as well because I believe it would make better use of my talent for explaining complicated things to people.

I'm new to professional tutoring but I love the idea of helping people learn. I’m also super friendly, patient and empathetic by nature.

Tutoring Experience

I have experience tutoring GCSE maths through one-on-one sessions, working with a variety of students including family members and children of friends. I’ve helped them understand core concepts and guided them through targeted practice to improve their skills.

Tutoring Approach

To prepare for tutoring, I’ve been studying the psychology of learning and evidence-based teaching methods through Craig Barton’s famous book “How I Wish I'd Taught Maths: Lessons learned from research, conversations with experts, and 12 years of mistakes”) which I’m eager to put into practice.

I’ll be following the general format below, making adjustments as needed depending on the student:

• Welcome chat & Outline of topics we’ll cover (5 min)
• Recap concepts from previous session (10-15 min)
• Introduction of a new core concept (10-15 min)
• Supervised practice (10-15 min)
• Unsupervised practice (10-15 min)
• Review (5 min)
• Setting homework + wrap-up (5 min)
