Maths Help!

Hey There


I'm on my gap year at the moment, Au Pairing for a family in Milan. I arrive in Geneva at the beginning of September to do the same work, but this time I have weekends free. I plan to study a career involving some maths once I go back home but I haven't done much maths this year due to an absolute lack of time. I'm looking for someone to meet up with once a week to tutor me or just be there to answer some questions if I get stuck. I finished school last year. 


It could be anyone, someone studying maths, a maths teacher or someone my age who did super well with maths through schooling. 


In exchange, I am a mother tongue english speaker from South Africa. So we could meet for a coffee, do some maths and practice your English. 


Please message on here or send me an inbox message if you're keen or know of someone who could help me. 


Thanks so much!

Toni, I might be able to help. What are your career intentions?


I have a background in earth science and engineering and a masters in economics if that helps?

I won't have time (or the skill) to teach you, but have a look at The Kahn Academy. They have a great method to learn different types of math through lots of videos. 


To learn more about it, have a look at this great TED video by the founder, Salman Kahn.

Hi Toni,


Are you bilingual English-French or English-German?   This will help you a lot of you intend to pursue Air Traffic control in Switzerland. 


I have two friends who are ATCs, they are on holidays at the moment, but I'll see if they have any tips.


Otherwise, Zonker, who is an IT consultant (you can find him on here doing a search) is also a Maths tutor.
