What you can expect
- An advanced understanding of mathematics, from an active published researcher.
- An individual lesson plan to fit the student's needs, informed by state-of-the-art knowledge in learning and pedagogic techniques.
- A fixed time slot for regular students, with great flexibility and availability.
- An incredibly flexible cancellation policy (up to 1 hour earlier).
- Access to a database of >5GB of support material (specification papers, textbooks, example sheets,...).
- The aim to teach every student to be an independent learner.
I offer private mathematics (and physics) lessons at all levels online (using Zoom with a shared whiteboard), in English or Italian. I use a high-speed internet connection, a microphone with noise-cancellation and a Wacom One graphics tablet, so I can write just as fast as I would do on a physical whiteboard. In my opinion, technology has reached a point where online tutorials have the same value as in-person lessons, and students can learn from the comfort of their homes.
My method is inspired from the “flipped classroom” pedagogic technique, where a substantial part of the work takes place outside the classroom in order to maximize the usefulness of the lecture hours. This means that a diligent student can obtain excellent results with a low number of paid tutorial hours. This is not only cost-effective, but it also teaches the student how to be independent and work on their own – always remember that during the exam the tutor will not be present!
Very deep understanding of all the material AND excellent at explaining. Extremely reliable and patient too.
Great pace, connection to students, way of teaching (making students understand).
Always willing to come up with different way to explain a concept.
Concise explanations with adequate examples.
Makes you actually understand what was going on in the lecture!
Cesare is always very well prepared for the lessons with great learning resources. He is enthusiastic and engaging and makes the lesson easy to understand.
