Acerca de mí
I enjoy reading, writing and going to the theatre and cinema.

At university, I was president of the Cambridge Footlights and spent many years writing and performing theatre and comedy shows for a variety of audiences, both in the UK and US.

Since leaving university, I have become interested in a career in education and child psychotherapy. This interest has taken me to a training course at the charity Place2Be, which provides emotional and therapeutic services in primary and secondary schools.

Now that I am living in Paris and learning French, I have become interested in the possibilities of bilingual education, and what this might mean for the emotional development of children and adolescents.

I have also worked as a volunteer for the charity 'Hackney Pirates', which aims to improve the literacy and numeracy of primary and secondary school children through one-to-one tuition.

My courses are open to all middle and high school students, but especially to those who prepare the baccalaureate of French and philosophy. In giving courses to high school students, I have indeed noticed how much the difficulties they encounter often come from a lack of method and a poor understanding of the requirements of the test. It is by making this observation that I began to direct my private lessons and my group internships towards the baccalaureate preparation, in order to give the students the "weapons" that will allow them to enter the exam serenely, with more than trust.

These courses focus on:

- UNDERSTAND what philosophical questioning is, and see how philosophy is the chance for everyone to think for themselves / Understand what a literary text is, and how to listen to it.

- THE METHOD: it will be necessary to clarify the bases of the test, to explain its requirements - in short, to understand what the dissertation and the commentary of text consist. From this perspective, I will explain: how to approach a subject, understand it, and analyze it. How to structure his reasoning. How to highlight his knowledge.

- PRACTICE: we will practice the test progressively: corpus question, essay, text commentary, etc. As such, students will be asked for personal work to do at home, between classes. It is only through this practical application that the requirements of the test can be understood in the full sense of the term.

I also offer English and Spanish courses, languages that I speak fluently, following many trips abroad.

Accustomed to read university memoirs and books, do not hesitate to call on me to correct or help you write your academic or other work.
