Présentation

I’m an earnest nerd from Australia currently pursuing an MScR in Philosophy, specialling in the ethical consequences of AI being involved in IVF procedures.

During my time as a tutor for the Contemporary Coaching College, I specialised in working with students aged 15–18, particularly those who struggled to connect with humanities subjects such as literature, economics, history, and studies of religion. My approach centred on making these disciplines accessible and engaging by linking them to my students’ pre-existing interests. Witnessing their growing enthusiasm and confidence was deeply rewarding. I am particularly excited about the opportunity to tutor students who have ambitions of studying abroad, as I can offer not only academic guidance but also insight and encouragement drawn from my own experience. Helping high school students achieve a similar dream to the one I once had would be fulfilling beyond words.

I would love the opportunity to discuss how my experience and enthusiasm aligns with your goals!

Passionate about history, I am at your disposal for any help you would need for the writing of your presentations, end of studies and dissertations in EDM / geography / human sciences and French. Favoring efficiency, I restructure and correct your texts (or your courses) to make your subjects as alive as possible. All seriously, but always in a good mood.

I commit myself to correct you and to send the tests regularly after having fixed a schedule of work. But you remain responsible and master of your TFE / memory. In my opinion, teamwork remains the key to success.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me, I will answer in all circumstances!

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

My hourly rate reflects my professional skill set, formal credentials, extensive experience, and my status as a qualified educator, as well as the cost of living in Switzerland. That said, what matters most to me is ensuring that each student receives the support they need. I am open to discussing and adjusting my rates based on fair reasoning to make this possible.

I have been a dedicated IB English Language & Literature educator since 2014, and my expertise extends to serving as an IB External Examiner for IB English A Literature since July 2016. As of May 2023, I have advanced to the role of Team Leader, or Senior Examiner, overseeing the external assessment of Language and Literature components and guiding a team of ten junior examiners.

My passion for Education and Literature has been the cornerstone of my career for nearly a decade. My professional journey spans a diverse range of educational settings, including public and international private schools, as well as independent language institutions.

In addition to my extensive teaching experience, I hold an IB Diploma, a BA in English and Education, an MA in Education, and a Swiss-verified teaching certificate. These credentials underscore my commitment to excellence in education and my deep engagement with the field of literature.

Je suis correctrice du bac, j'enseigne en lycée depuis 15 ans.
Je propose un accompagnement en 3 phases, qui s'adapte aux besoins de chaque élève, mais ne laisse pas de place au hasard.

1 => Une 1ère séance de DIAGNOSTIC : points forts sur lesquels s'appuyer/ points à améliorer. Ce diagnostic est, en lui-même, un outil pour progresser, raison pour laquelle cette première séance est payante.

2 => Un PROGRAMME personnalisé de travail est élaboré, et proposé dès la deuxième séance. Des OBJECTIFS réalistes sont définis.

3 => Une EVALUATION est réalisée à la 5ème séance, pour évaluer la progression au regard des objectifs.
Des critères transparents, liés aux attentes du programme sont employés, mais le 'ressenti' de l'élève pourra aussi être pris en compte.
Un réajustement des méthodes et la suite du programme sont proposés en fonction des résultats.

Le bac de français n'est pas difficile : il s'agit de comprendre les attentes de l'examen. Méthode et entraînement permettent une remise à niveau, ou des progrès rapides..
(ECRIT : commentaire ou dissertation / ORAL : Explication linéaire + entretien sur oeuvre).

Rappel : les notes du bac de français sont déterminantes dans les dossiers PARCOURSUP, quelle que soit le choix d'orientation Post bac.
____ ____ ____ ____ __
Possibilités supplémentaires :
- BACS BLANCS ECRITS, correction de copies.
- ORAUX 'TYPE BAC', entraînements conformes à l'examen.
- STAGES INTENSIFS***, possibles pendant les vacances.

The courses are aimed at high school students, literature students, and adults learning French (FLE). Through courses tailored to their needs, learners will consolidate their French skills, either from a strictly linguistic or literary perspective.

As for the language, we will be able to work on different aspects: grammar, conjugation, syntax rules, written and oral expression.

More experienced learners, in rhetoric and at university, will be able to consolidate their skills in written expression and literary analysis.

It is about progressing realistically and at the learner's own pace, and developing methods that allow for long-term improvement.

De langue maternelle française, je suis titulaire de deux masters : le premier dans l’enseignement du Français Langue Etrangère et Seconde (FLES), le second dans les Métiers de l’Education, l’Enseignement et la Formation (MEEF), premier degré.
J’ai pu travailler dans différentes structures (écoles, crèches, instituts) et ai, ainsi, eu l’occasion de travailler avec des publics différents et dans des cadres variés. Je m'adapte donc aux besoins de l'apprenant. Je propose des cours pour adultes, adolescents, enfants.
Nous travaillerons la grammaire / conversation/ préparation DELF/ TCF.

Poetry has the power to speak with delicacy and allow us to express what we feel deeply. It can be therapeutic, depending on the workshops and goals. As a poetry author, I offer to adapt to your needs in this area and to help you with reading aloud.

Étudiante en licence de philosophie, je propose des cours de soutien et d’accompagnement en philosophie pour collégiens et lycéens (notamment préparation au bac).

Mon approche est méthodique et concrète :
– compréhension des notions clés (liberté, justice, vérité, conscience, etc.)
– méthode de la dissertation et du commentaire de texte
– aide à la rédaction, structuration des idées, clarification des concepts
– entraînement à l’oral et à l’argumentation

En tant qu’étudiante, je connais exactement les difficultés actuelles des élèves et les attentes scolaires. Mon objectif n’est pas de réciter des cours abstraits, mais de faire comprendre, penser et argumenter avec rigueur.

Je travaille dans un cadre sérieux et bienveillant, avec des explications claires, des exemples concrets et un suivi personnalisé.

Je propose des cours de français pour les collégiens et les lycéens.

Il peut s'agir :
- de cours de soutien
- de préparation plus ciblée aux examens (Brevet des collèges, Baccalauréat).

En fonction de vos objectifs, nous pourrons orienter le cours vers :
- une analyse de texte dynamique se rapprochant de l'épreuve orale du Baccalauréat, centrée autour des textes au programme
- un oral blanc
- un approfondissement de la méthodologie spécifique au commentaire ou à la dissertation.
- des thématiques plus générales (histoire littéraire)
- ou enfin des thématiques plus ciblées à consolider (grammaire, orthographe, procédés littéraires et figures de style...)

N'hésitez pas à me contacter et à m'indiquer les points que vous souhaitez améliorer. J'ai à cœur de privilégier l’interaction et la participation de l'élève, et de m'adapter à la personnalité et aux besoins de chacun dans un cadre bienveillant.
