Hugo - Know your tutor

Hi everyone, my name is Hugo Pissarra. I am a 1st year student at the University of Lisbon, specialising in Probability and Statistics. With a storng background in sciences, mainly physics and math, I hope to help students of all levels and academic backgrounds, ensuring a tailored approach based on their needs and ambitions. From Geometry to Calculus, whether you’re prepping for national exams or navigating the rigours of Linear Algebra, I provide the clarity you need to succeed. Through engaging and straightforward techniques, I hope to spread the joy of problem-solving. Having recently navigated these same academic hurdles, I understand the pressure all students face. We will tackle your specific roadblocks with patience and lightness, ensuring that every session builds your confidence. I will mainly use the whiteboard and visual tutorials, as they provide a more "hands-on" approach that, in my experience, yields better results in both the short and long runs. For further information, feel free to contact me via email at hugo.filipe.10.hp@gmail.com. I invite you all to book a lesson, because together everything is easier. Let’s turn those daunting equations into your greatest strengths!

Mathematics concepts taught by Hugo

Student learned about 14 hours ago

The Tutor introduced the basic structure and components of the periodic table, discussing how to interpret information within each element's square. The session then moved on to explain the significance of groups and periods, and how these relate to valence electrons and electron shells. They also explored two major periodic trends—atomic radius and ionization energy—and how they change across periods and down groups, with a plan to cover other trends in future sessions.

The Tutor and Student worked through several physics problems covering pendulums, static equilibrium, angular kinematics, centripetal force, angular momentum conservation, and fluid buoyancy. They calculated observed and ideal pendulum periods, normal forces on a log, angular displacement of a rotating object, centripetal force, and the volume of displaced water for a floating block. The Student expressed a desire to focus more on oscillation problems in future sessions.
