Over

The experience I have had in teaching has only been through volunteering platforms. But, those were the experiences through which I have learned more about myself than any other. There were language barriers and age constraints. But all problems fell short in the face of the students having fun during classes and learning. There will be readings assigned for some of the classes. Most will be discussion based with in-class exercises.

Opleiding

I am currently pursuing BSc Psychology Honors degree from a liberal arts university. I am planning on doing a minor in philosophy along with a concentration in biology.

Leservaring

I have been a tutor to students in Cambodia, Jamaica and Venezuela through volunteer organizations. The ages of the students ranged from 5 to 20.

I am a third year law student at the Université Saint-Louis (trilingual major in fr-en-nl). Passionate about my studies, I have been giving private lessons for several years. I am also interested in questions of university methodology. Thus, I have already been participating for several years in success assistance programs, as a "tutor" or as an accompanist for homework help. My former students say of me that I am diligent and methodical.
I have a particular interest in public law but I can also help with private law courses, as well as language courses. Being currently doing an additional bachelor's degree in philosophy, I can also assist students who have questions for non-legal courses (philosophy, sociology, etc.).
My curriculum has allowed me for several years to have part of my classes in another language, English or Dutch, so I can help on that level as well!

Philosophy makes your world bigger. It helps make it easier to deal with just about everything. Whether it concerns personal problems or social issues. Great thinkers can give you confidence. But above all, inspiration!

Whether you are looking for answers to life's big questions, or help with your homework. I am there for you with webcam sessions, or in person. By examining your specific questions together, we increase both our insight and enjoyment of life.

Why is classical music worth listening to? What is special about Bach or Mozart? Why can music touch us so profoundly?

If you want some answers to these questions - but especially if you want to reflect on them, and expand your knowledge of music and art - then these lessons might be for you.

For each student, I make a tailored lesson plan depending on their interests. This can be leaning more towards music history, towards a specific composer or time period that you like... everything is up for discussion!

Philosophy follows wisdom. This class will explore a panorama of philosophical texts through the poetic diction of stories and myths. Offering close-readings and lectures from Heraclitus to Shakespeare, Kierkegaard to Ávila, students are invited to engage and formulate new ideas. Personal requests are very welcome in consultation.

Being a native French speaker with a Bachelor’s in Literature and Philosophy, I can help you learn French in all its forms: oral and written comprehension, speaking and writing.
I have already given classes to many pupils (6 in total) so I have a good experience of giving classes. I am also flexible, so I can adapt to your needs and to your schedule.
Having obtained a Bachelor’s in Literature and Philosophy, I can also teach students how to analyse literary and philosophical texts in both English and French. I already helped students obtain their French Baccalaureate with very satisfying grades (17/20 for example).
If you have any questions or needs, I am open and ready to answer any questions very rapidly!

This private class offers an exploration into rich and complex tapestry that is Chinese culture. Based on your interest, you'll learn more about Chinese history, philosophy, traditional and modern Chinese society, literature, religion, etc.

With China's importance on the international stage growing incessantly, I believe it's very useful to understand the Chinese way of thinking, to develop awareness of cultural sensitivities and to gain some insight in the history that structures China's perspective on the world.

Originally structured as a lecture-based course, the content can also be restructured into a more interactive learning design. Whether you're interested in ancient classical philosophy, dynastic history, modern Chinese society and popculture or the economic development of China, this course has something to offer.

Classes with me is specific to each's needs.
As per the need or requirements of the student, the classes will be designed. For Example: the length of each class, the kind of sessions.

Session and the course length can be decided as per the need of the student and mutual consent

Besides the conventional theme of a language class I offer out of the box 🎁 learning experience to each student which makes learning more positive and last longer for the betterment of the receiver.

I teach and understand the concern of each student before the beginning of any session and plan a blueprint for my students individually as every case is unique. I propose to discuss this before we begin and make the necessary changes of required. I like to personalize the learning sessions and length according to the student.
