About me

Hi, I'm Álvaro

I am an engineer and for eight years I have been preparing students who come to me with failed exams and a fear of numbers. My goal is not for them to memorise exercises, but to understand why they are solved that way: once they understand, the results follow.

Every month I send families a short report with progress, grades and what needs work. I teach groups of up to three students from the same year, or one-to-one.

How I work

A simple method that works

How we work:

  1. Diagnosis

    A first lesson to see what is really going wrong and since when.

  2. Plan

    We fill in the missing basics and move forward at the school’s pace.

  3. Practice

    Graded exercises and mock exams before every assessment.

  4. Follow-up

    A monthly report to the family with grades and next goals.

Are we a fit?

Is it for you?

It's for you if…

  • Your child has failed and is losing confidence.
  • You are preparing for university entrance exams and want a better grade in maths or physics.
  • You need someone consistent, not one-off lessons before the exam.

It's not for you if…

  • You want someone to do your homework for you.
  • You need language or humanities lessons.

Common questions

Before you start

Are online lessons just as useful?

Yes. We use a shared digital whiteboard and I send you the notes from every lesson.

Can I start mid-year?

Of course. The sooner we start strengthening the basics, the better.

What if we need to cancel?

With 24 hours’ notice, we make up the lesson the same week.
