Mathematics for life

At Aftermaths, we believe that all students have potential. We personalise our methods to get the best possible outcome from our students. With personalised explanations and methodologies, online or in person, we define the best lesson plan, case by case.

It is common knowledge that mathematics is one of the curricular units in which students have the most difficulties, and this often translates into a high failure rate. These difficulties with mathematics, if left unresolved, tend to worsen over the years – in mathematics, the foundations are fundamental. At Aftermaths, we help our students uncomplicate math. We promote learning that combines discipline with flexibility – always adapting our teaching methods, taking into account each student’s profile and starting point.

With personalised support from Aftermaths, your child will be one step closer to success at school.

Marta Vidal Pinheiro, 23/01/2018

“When our son asks us for help because he doesn’t understand the concepts inherent to mathematics, present in everything in our daily lives, Prof. Gonçalo’s help has been an invaluable asset. I strongly recommend his maths tutoring, which motivates my son not to give up when confronted with the obstacles of this gradually more difficult subject. T. is motivated to learn and master the complex math concepts! Thank you, Prof. Gonçalo.”

“The consistent and tutored study of mathematics contributes considerably to better performance, and reduces stress and insecurity – especially during exam season. It’s like going to the gym: you only see the results after a period of regular practice. Before you know it, you’re in shape. With hard work and dedication, there is no “impossible” in mathematics. The key is to diagnose each student’s specific challenges, and together work to solve them.”

Gonçalo Cotta Guerra – Tutor and Founder of Aftermaths
