Why does math make people so anxious?
Does math make you anxious? You’re not alone…
In junior and senior high school students as well as students interested in obtaining the IB Diploma
Through the unique teaching method customized to the individual needs of each student
With material focusing on the exams of each educational level for the best guidance
My name is Papadopoulos Marinos and I have a bachelor degree in Mathematics from the University of Athens and also hold a Master of Science degree in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Education.
From 2004 to 2016 I taught mathematics to junior and senior high school students. Since 2015 I maintain the e-platform mathacademy.gr providing e-material (personal notes and videos) for all the classes of high school. Since 2018 I have been teaching students interested in sitting the IB Exams at Geitonas School.
The many years of previous experience along with continuous attendance of several 9-month seminars from the University of Athens, such as learning difficulties, educational psychology, and motivation for productive teaching, guarantee your success in the final exams. This is also achieved through the unique teaching method customized to the individual needs of each student and through the exam-oriented educational material which is available on the e-platform.
Finally, from the students’ comments below, it is evident that in order to fulfill your goals you don’t only need studying but also the proper guidance.
During the second and third year of high school, I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Marinos Papadopoulos by my side who with his undivided attention and support guided me through the difficult task of preparing myself for the national examinations. As a teacher of mathematics, he has been able to transmit all his knowledge as well as help me keep my composure, two essential elements which are the key in order to succeed in such a test. What sets him apart, however, is the fact that he managed to convert the standard mathematics lessons into poetry of logical ideas, as Einstein himself characterized mathematics.
I was fortunate enough to work with Mr. Papadopoulo. In addition to his excellent knowledge and pioneering methods in the teaching of mathematics, he has been a tireless counselor throughout this difficult year.
Mr. Papadopoulos Marinos uses multiple methods, such as technology, to help the student understand Maths. It is important in this ever-evolving generation to follow an equally evolving, progressive and active teacher. These and so many other attributes have been evident in the last 5 years of my student experience with professor Mr. Marinos Papadopoulos, both in high school and in my preparation for the IB exams. Thank you for everything.
I started having lessons with Mr. Papadopoulos Marino three years ago. From the outset, it was evident that he was extremely good at his profession. But I learned the real Mr. Marino last year while preparing for the final exams. His persistence, patience, faith in his students as well as his knowledge make you strive to achieve your goal, which at first sounds impossible to a high school kid. Without him, I would never have understood the way maths work!
