About Me

I'm the creative type: I've been a huge fan of LEGOs for many years, I'm passionate about board games, role games and quest games (treasure hunts, escape games,...). I'm also passionate about teaching and continuously improving my methods. Opening myself to new cultures and learning new languages is another passion of mine: these tutoring classes are an opportunity for me to immerse in Finnish culture and the Finnish language (I speak Spanish, the basics of Lebanese and Chinese).

When I was a kid - I'm now 25 - my parents said of me that I was messy and that I lack structure and rigour. Now that I've finished my graduate studies, I can tell that nothing is set in stone: I have a keen sense of detail when it comes to writing, no matter the language. Picking the right word for the right idea is crucial and makes all the difference at school and at work.

I have taught in university for 1st-year students and I have been doing tutoring in French, history, art history, english and math for more than 1 year now. Most of my students have a STEM profile. Their main challenge is to get the logic behind writing a text and learn to develop their ideas: most often, they go straight to the point (A>B>C). They develop their idea as they would demonstrate the validity of a theorem.

Write like Victor Hugo: French writing rules & tips

Learning outcome: write in French with clarity and structure.
My motto: learning by doing! As French people say “C’est en forgeant qu’on devient forgeron!” (Litterally: “It is by forging that one becomes a blacksmith!”).

Tailored for each student’s personal challenges, the class is structured as follows:
>1st session: Assessment of the learner’s level and design of the learning roadmap.
>Before class: write a text from 10 to one page on a topic on history, art or science.
>In-class: text correction and improvement indications.
I work mainly with visual sketches, mind maps, drafts and graphs to provide the learner with insights on the way motivation and memory work.

Covered during classes:
>French grammar: conjugation, spelling, syntax.
>Develop the French writing method:
-the different sentence structures;
-the structure of a paragraph (phrase d'annonce - développement logique - phrase récapitulative - transition)
-the 3-paragraph convention (introduction/développement/conclusion)
-logical argumentation and critical thinking according to French culture
