Rumuwaji, Rivers8 basic math teachers near you

In order to answer this question, it is necessary to know exactly what level we are talking about in the courses that will be taught. As we are talking here about courses that are limited to the basics of mathematics, there is no need to have the level of a polytechnic student initially! Contrary to what is sometimes thought, there are no conditions to be met to be able to give private lessons. This market is not subject to specific regulations, and legally in France, it is possible to give private lessons from the age of 14 with the permission of parents and the labor inspectorate, of course. So, if you are a high school student, you can give private lessons without any diploma condition (it is good to know that you can become a private teacher without having a baccalaureate yourself).

If we look at the profiles of private teachers, it appears that a large number of them are indeed high school and university students, in addition to certified or agrégé professors, of course.

As for traditional teaching in high school or college, it's a whole different story. To become a teacher, you must have completed 5 years of university studies (the Bachelor's degree and then the Master's degree), after which you will be allowed to take the National Education competition (from Master's 2): the CAPES (or Certificate of Aptitude for Secondary Education Teaching), the CAPLP (or Certificate of Aptitude for Vocational School Teaching), or the agrégation.

In preparation for these studies that are focused on mathematics, it is recommended to choose a scientific field. To do this, you should choose a specialty such as mathematics, life and earth sciences, physics chemistry, etc.

The most sought-after Master to prepare for the National Education exams is the Master entitled MEEF (for Master of Education, Education and Training Professions). However, it should be noted that obtaining a Master's degree is no guarantee of success in the famous competition!

First, let's focus on private lessons, then we'll talk about institutional classes. In practice, private lessons come in different formats, and they're available for all levels, even though we'll be focusing on the basics today:

• First and foremost, there are traditional home tutoring sessions. In this case, the student and teacher agree to meet up either at the teacher's place or the student's home. The advantage of this direct exchange between the teacher and student is that they can both agree on the time and place of the sessions.

• Secondly, there are now webcam classes, which have become more popular and sophisticated in recent years, and particularly due to the pandemic. Many institutions are turning to this format, which is very convenient. Online classes allow students and teachers to work very flexibly, in a very relaxed setting (since everyone is at home). Constraints related to distance and transportation are eliminated, and the options are becoming more diverse.

• Finally, there is the option of group classes. Many teachers offer group classes (whether it's for basic math, Mandarin, or history). The advantage of group private lessons lies in the fact that teachers offer a decreasing price depending on the number of students. In fact, it's not uncommon for classmates or friends to group together, upon parents' request, because learning in a group is often more motivating.

Now, let's talk about classes in institutions, if you're interested.

In middle school, the fundamental notions are essential, such as basic operations, numeration, proportional reasoning, Euclidean geometry, familiarization with the number line and plane graphing, and finally, algebraic calculations. The emphasis is especially on pedagogy, on concrete activities, and discovering new concepts through manipulation. It's an exciting profession, but it doesn't necessarily require a sharp mathematical intuition that originally created the vocation and the desire to pursue long studies in this discipline.

In high school, things are a bit different, as the basic concepts are assumed to be mastered, and Mathematics teaching revolves around more advanced and abstract concepts (functions, sequences, derivatives, vectors, analytic geometry, etc.). Some students may not cope with the transition smoothly, and the vastness of the curriculum means that there is less emphasis on concrete manipulation. In some way, we're back to the essence of what Mathematics is all about: abstraction (especially in scientific fields). In high school, the pace is much more intense, and a significant part of pedagogy becomes a kind of introduction (as clear and precise as possible) to various definitions and theorems with names that can sometimes leave us wondering. The types of exercises also become more diverse, and their resolutions require more initiative, adaptation, and even sagacity on the part of students. We can say that Mathematics in high school are much more interesting because they are more advanced, even though they remain limited in practice (since we stay at the high school level, and it's not a question of losing students in reasoning or concepts that are too complex or beyond their reach); their theoretical applicability goes much further, and the accessible exercises become much more exciting.

Up to a certain level, it can be considered sufficient to be helped by a friend, an older sibling, a father, or a mother to maintain and properly acquire all the knowledge. However, when it comes to more advanced concepts, or if it doesn't click with a loved one, since there is no room for approximation or improvisation in mathematics, it is best to refer to a real teacher in order to properly integrate the basics, without which everything else is completely out of reach.

A professional teacher not only possesses knowledge, but also must have certain qualities that make them a good teacher. To begin with, and this goes without saying, a good teacher must demonstrate pedagogy, because let's be clear, this is the quintessential skill to possess and develop over the course of one's career, but it is not the only one. To be effective, a teacher worthy of the name must also demonstrate a certain sense of organization, which includes a balanced approach to the time spent preparing and delivering lessons. The teacher must be versatile and have a sense of priorities in order never to become overwhelmed at work, and need creativity as well to slightly deviate from the beaten path and strike a chord with students by offering new ways of learning or evaluating them. Listening skills and curiosity are also very important in order to advance constantly and not be left behind, even by new technologies, for example. Finally, a teaching professional also possesses good general knowledge as it can be useful, especially for placing certain knowledge in a historical context, and he or she knows how to adapt because each student is different, each class has its own specificities, and without the ability to adapt, it will be difficult to reach the entire audience.

A touch of charisma and natural authority, as well as mastery of computer tools, could complete the profile of a teacher passionate about their profession, and who will be perfect for you or your child.

Several reasons should lead you to consider taking (or having your child take) math classes in order to master the fundamental basics, and that’s what we’ll see together in this section. Private lessons, whether at home or in a structured environment, have a major advantage: they adapt to all students and represent a customized alternative to succeed during their schooling, regardless of the level they are aiming for.

Following math lessons with a teacher will allow your child (or yourself...) to learn at their own pace, without pressure (which changes everything), and with confidence (making it easier to integrate knowledge). Whether it’s to work on specific areas and difficulties before a significant delay sets in and becomes much more difficult to overcome... Whether it’s to provide homework support throughout the school year, as this moment is more digestible when accompanied... Or even preparing for an exam... Taking courses represents a completely natural and relevant solution, if only to perfectly integrate this base of basic knowledge without which nothing can be accomplished.

From the first contact, the teacher will get an idea of your level, then set clear objectives for each session and propose a tailored pedagogy for each case. Most often, when taking courses, it’s an opportunity to discover new learning and memorizing methods that more closely match one's own learning style, and thus an opportunity to learn a little more about oneself and one's intellectual functioning.

Furthermore, private lessons allow for gaining confidence. One-on-one or in small groups, the child can feel more free to express themselves and ask any questions they have in mind. For some, a revision session at home is also the ideal opportunity to let creativity run wild...

No matter where you are located or live, no matter the level of courses you are seeking (at least up to the Bac or Bac +2), finding basic courses in mathematics is relatively easy, as there are many companies and professionals offering such services, and they are well distributed throughout the territory. Therefore, whether you live in downtown Rumuwaji or in the deep countryside of Doubs or Picardie, we suggest you start by asking around among your acquaintances and relatives, as word of mouth is an excellent way to find the right address for this type of thing. You can also ask your child's school teachers, the school principal, or even other parents.

If your search yields no results, know that it is possible to use the Internet, as this type of service is very present online. Once connected, whichever search engine you use, we invite you to consult a website like StarOfService, for example, which lists all the education professionals, based on the location of your search and where you live. In just a few clicks, the site will provide you with the company's contact information, which you can use to inquire about its availability in the following minutes.

Before giving you any specific rates or price ranges, we would like to emphasize that your geographical location may have a significant impact on the prices charged. Therefore, please understand that the price range we are going to give you is necessarily subjective.

After taking these precautions, however, we would like to point out that the price range we are going to give you is based on an average of prices obtained from several dozen providers.

According to our survey, the cost of a math tutorial or study session of about an hour starts at €20 for secondary school (middle and high school) and can go up to over 30 €. For a higher-level math class (i.e., for a college prep course, university level, or to prepare for a competitive exam), prices hover around €35 but can go up to €45 or even €50 per hour in some cases.

It doesn't take a math whiz to deduce that the longer the lesson, the higher the price...

Most private math tutors charge their services by the hour. However, check with them because they regularly offer packages that cover, for example, one or several courses per week over one or two quarters... Often, these formulas are practical and designed in such a way that they encompass critical periods, such as back-to-school season, the period preceding exams, etc.

Note that in case you need to cancel a lesson at the last minute, the teacher may charge a cancellation fee. Therefore, it is best to inquire about the cancellation conditions before committing yourself to a particular provider or tutor.

As we explained earlier in this content, word of mouth is one of the best ways to find a math teacher, especially if you're looking to find a GOOD one! Therefore, in the first place, we advise you to start by asking your friends, family and acquaintances – they may have heard of someone or a company that offers excellent services, close to where you live. If this is not the case, use the Internet and take a look at certain professional reference sites such as StarOfService. You'll find lists of mathematics teaching professionals, but not only that, who work in your area, along with reviews and comments from clients who have used their services. This last point is crucial and we advise you to really take the time to read these reviews, as they provide valuable information on the quality of the professional's work and their teaching methods. Once you've found the right person, make sure to check their availability, ensure that the rates match what you've planned or are willing to pay, and clearly state the deadlines you'd like to meet, etc. One last bit of advice on the subject: if some professionals offer prices well below market rates, it's usually not a guarantee of quality or effectiveness.

• How long have you been practicing in this profession? What training or diploma do you have to practice this activity?
• What are your rates? Is it possible to have the details?
• Will you offer me a proper quote before the courses?
• What are your availabilities?
• Can you guarantee the respect of the deadlines and the rates that we will agree upon?
