We introduce ourselves and create a plan from the work to be done, the time allotted, and the rate of learning.
Every lesson, I answer your questions, explain the material, help you through some exercises and we plan for the next lesson.
You do your homework and send me your questions, I create learning materials and prepare the next class.
These lessons cover advanced mathematics such as calculus, matrices, complex numbers and any mathematics beyond that level.
If you would like some help for your exams or simply wish to understand these subjects at a higher level, please do send me a message.
These lessons cover elementary and linear algebra. If you have questions regarding how to manipulate equations or how to do fractions, what rules are involved in solving systems, these lessons are for you.
In these lessons, I highly recommend doing manual computations, mostly to get better at it. It is often faster to calculate something minor in your thoughts than it is to enter it into a calculator. To this end, learning materials are available to get a hang of the various techniques involved and things like prime numbers.
These "lessons" are for locals only.
Indoor activities include items in the list below. These can by typified as extracurricular education, hobby, and typically both. I have personally always engaged in these activities so I am happy to provide an environment where others are free to explore them.
On site are shelves full of board games and educational devices† fit for extracurricular activities. Most of these can also be moved around to provide the same activities in your locality.
Indoor activities available:
Some of these actvities may strike you as odd, but I have been working with computers and programming since I was about 10 years of age. You may be pleasantly surprised by your child's potential in environments that lend themselves to their discovery and development.
Outdoor activities are also a plenty: there are various parks and playsets nearby where local children play their hearts out on the regular. During the summer, there is a pond with a beachside, zipline and jungle gyms available, as well as a proper waterpark with lifeguards.
Note: All lessons and pricing include required material, drinks and snacks appropriate to the guests' wishes.
Note: For people struggling with smart devices: The environment I provide is free from smart devices, allowing you and/or your child to focus and detox from the online world.
English is one of the most prominent languages in the world and taking lessons in this language can be of great benefit. Despite not being my native tongue, this entire website has been written in English first, and only in my native language second.
Most students for English lessons are native speakers who struggle with exams, their own writing abilities, grammar and punctuation. Lessons are available for any level; from the bottom rung of spelling words correctly to the top most level of meta story design and development.
For international students or non-native speakers, difficulty often lies in reading ability (reading the words) and reading comprehension (reading the text). Pronunciation can also be an obstacle, particularly in cases where the native language lacks certain sounds found in the English language, such as an H-sound (looking at you French!).
So, if you are looking to improve your reading skills, writing skills, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar or have some other matter you need resolving related to the English language, get in touch and let's get started!
Got an upcoming test and want to really up your chances? Perhaps you're wondering if you'll even make it. You've come to the right place. With these lessons, you will have the right guidance to create a workable plan to pass that test.
Using math, statistics, and progress tracking tools, we can accurately monitor your progress towards your goal to see how well you are likely to fare on the test itself.
If you are looking to make a great plan, train well and practice making tests, get in touch and we'll get to work!
Note: These lessons may not help for students who have psychological causes of failure, such as drawing blanks as soon as they write their name on the test. That requires a different approach.
Mathematics features heavily in everyday use. From calculating the routes you travel, to shopping, diet, money matters, having a job or store, cooking and much more. Even breathing and a heartbeat can be used to practice mathematics. Starting from a context that relates to the learner's life, we go through the material in a thorough and understandable way. The underlying principles are included at the same time so that the pupil also masters the topics in the abstract. With this, the pupil can find their own applications. For example on a test, an exam or in life.
I always struggled with mathematics, but Peter's explanations made it a great deal more logical. Peter could answer my "why" questions which had been neglected in my regular education. He helped me pass my entry exams.
Great tutor. He really takes his time and this helped me pass middle school. Highly recommended.
I learned a lot in a short time, because the material was explained in a clear way. Peter is also very enthusiastic during the lessons!
Geometry is a very practical field with a highly abstract background. A lot of people have an understanding or intuition for elementary shapes, but when it comes to the underlying theory or some proof, find it difficult to grasp.
Perhaps you are some such person, or you would like to expand your understanding of geometry just for the fun of it. In either case you have found the right place to gain a greater understanding of the underlying principles.
The student's material and questions are leading. Lessons can cover anything two dimensional and three dimensional, proofs, equations, formulae and everything inbetween. From showing three points are sufficient to define a circle to why in an ellipse PF1 + PF2 = 2a.
Get in touch and we'll get started!
These lessons will help you stay on track with your homework, regardless of what courses you're taking.
Staying on track with homework is often solved by creating a viable plan and tracking your progress. This is what we will be doing in these lessons.
Using mathematics, statistics and custom built personal trackers, as well as insight into your personal situation, we will engineer an adaptive plan to help you get back on track, stay on track and perhaps even help you get ahead.
If you work hard when you've got time, you'll have plenty of time when you've got lots of work.

Want to explore a different topic? Message me! My knowledge extends far beyond these few subjects listed here.
I am fairly certain I can help you out.
The guidance for the science project continually adapts to the needs of the students. I supervise the progress of the work, help them stay on schedule, keep an eye on the pupils' approach and bear in mind the requirements set by the school. This prevents the pupils biting off more than they can chew, as well as allow them to do more than just the bare minimum. Reviewing and providing editorial advice on the final report are also part of the guidance I provide.
He knows a lot, which allows him to explain the subject in several different ways. He really helped me with my science project.
Let's say you think you don't need lessons in statistics where in reality, you do. What type of error are you making here? A type I or a type II error? What if you think you do need those lessons, but decide not to take them? If you have trouble being certain about either of those questions, it is evidence you may benefit from lessons in statistics.
Statistics can be a particularly difficult subject. A lack in basic understanding of mathematics may further complicate matters. Fortunately, I can tutor you in both.
During these lessons, it is my intent to teach you exactly what you are doing and why the computations work the way they do. This has shown me to be the most effective way for students to understand the subject. I teach in a manner that lines up with the way you learn best. For some, this means explaining the fundamentals first. For others, it's walking through example exercises and pointing out peculiarities, generalities and special cases.
In communicating the techniques and underlying mathematics, I have found that almost any field uses its own lingo, which is very unfortunate as it is greatly confusing a subject that already is highly counterintuitive and befuddling. In my lessons, you will therefore be taught in your particular lingo stemming from your field of expertise, as well as in a general sense to recognize the patterns of symbols, rather than the symbols themselves.
These lessons are by far my most popular.
Peter helped me with mathematics. I had not had classes in six years and had to start over. Peter has a passion for tutoring and is very knowledgeable about the subject. He could explain to me why certain equations had to be done in a particular way. If I asked such a question in middle school the answer would be: "Because that is how it is". Due to the additional explanation, the tools and the patience Peter provided, I came to understand mathematics, rather than simply being able to go through the motions and hoping I would get it right during the tests. I highly recommend classes with Peter!
Peter is very familiar with the subject matter (mathematics and statistics). His explanations are clear and he knows how to appeal to your life experience to help you understand a problem.
Right from the get go, Peter used a plan and structured methods for my statistics classes. He created some peace of mind for me as his pupil. He is very knowledgeable and he conveys this knowledge with great dedication. Peter is a tutor who will give you confidence that you will pass your tests!
This service is for those who are working on a paper or a work of non fiction (technical) writing who are looking to increase the quality of that writing.
As a perfectionist I strive to achieve perfect writing. As such, I can help you out at almost every level.† From spelling to layout, from grammar to meta and argumentation, I can touch on any aspects you feel are in need of additional quality control.
If your paper involves statistical models, review of those models is included in this service. If you have analyzed your data only to the point of rediscovering that indeed, distance traveled is time multiplied by mean velocity, you are in serious need to find something more interesting.
†excluding only areas where I lack expertise in the field relating to the subject.
For my thesis, I was looking for someone who could give me support on statistical subjects. After an afternoon of searching online, I came across Peter. He was well regarded and after a few weeks he has really proven to live up to his reputation. I later found out that in addition to providing good statistical guidance, he could also provide excellent support for my graduation research. I was able to 'spar' with him about project topics. This gave me a good grip (again) on my research. Our efforts resulted in a final mark of 75 out of 100. This is all thanks to Peter's skillful guidance and critical feedback!
Lessons covering trigonometry cover whatever context you are trying to comprehend. This can range from elementary knowledge about trigonomic functions such as sines and cosines and how and why they work the way they do, to high level mathematics involving Fourier transforms and solving complex polynomials.
Trigonometry is generally associated with angles and waves, for good reason of course. It serves however, many more purposes. Particularly the field of physics has great use for trigonometry from anything from acoustics to crystalography and electrical engineering. In pure mathematics, it finds its uses in complex numbers, Fourier transforms, statistics and solving equations that may seem difficult to solve through other means.
If you run into issues involving trigonometry, get in touch and we'll set up a workable plan to help you understand.
I have been tutoring since 2006. Thanks to this experience, I have gained insight into what is important during a tutoring session and what you can do outside of the tutoring sessions to make them more effective. Among other things, the following considerations are addressed:
If you would like to become a tutor, these lessons will help you make use of my expertise in becoming a great tutor.
These lessons are for those who seek to improve their writing skills of any kind (be it technical writing, fiction, non-fiction or even chat) at any level. This can be anywhere from the level of the letters in a word (spelling), all the way up to meta's such as how your writing is organized, why you are writing and why it is you are writing the way you are writing.
Students applying for these lessons tend to be native English speakers who intend to improve their base grammar skills and vocabulary, their undestanding of concepts such as show-vs-tell and reporting-vs-directing, and creating a plan to develop their story or arguments before putting pen to paper. Most students are already working on some piece of writing they wish to publish one day. Having a structured and technical approach to their creative process allows them to create a solid world, case or argument without having to start from scratch from time to time (or worse yet, give up entirely).
