Über mich

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!

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.

Hi there!

As a teacher of Russian and English with years' of experience, I love my job because it allows me to see people's progress in learning new languages as well as their eminent success!
What's the most important thing for me as a teacher? I guess it is to find an individual approach to everyone. My goal is to make a lesson as efficient and entertaining as possible. Engaging tasks that encourage students to be focused on their goal to speak, understand and use the language is a must! Moreover, I cannot ignore various cultural aspects hence include interesting discussions on culture and history since it is also highly important when learning a language.
As a native Russian, I am eager to share my knowledge about Russian traditions, history and culture with my students. As a specialist in English, I am ready to discuss American literature and culture too!
Shoot me a message if you are interested in what I've just texted here.
Cheers!

Are you having difficulties analysing texts, poems and prose in your IGCSE English, IB English Literature or IB LangLit course? Are you ready to commit an hour every week over the summer to get that 6 or 7 and get into the university of your dreams? Then this is the course for you!

From helping you master the general techniques of literary analysis and teaching you how to compare literary works to answer exam questions on character development, theme and techniques, my course will provide you with all the tools and knowledge you need to dazzle even the most demanding IB examiner. The combination of my passion for writing prose and poetry and my deep understanding of IB marking criteria thanks to great teachers and thoughtful research means that I am uniquely placed to not only explain what your answers were lacking, but also show you how thinking like a writer can help you dramatically improve your answers.

Following a thorough discussion of your individual needs in our first class, I will create for you an engaging but exam-focused programme drawing on my 3-year experience as a tutor and using interactive teaching platforms. Through my course, you will get access to a vast library of resources (at no extra cost) - from official IB textbooks and past papers to teacher guidance - to help you perfect both your analytical and essay-writing skills. And if English is your second language, I will show you what to focus on in your learning so that you could write better than Shakespeare!

Are you ready to turn the page on disappointing grades in the past? Then contact me today!

Soy graduada en Filología Clásica y llevo más de 5 años ayudando a estudiantes de ESO, Bachillerato y Universidad a superar con éxito asignaturas como Latín, Griego y Lengua Castellana.
Enseñar es mi vocación: disfruto viendo cómo mis alumnos recuperan la confianza, aprueban exámenes y logran comprender una materia que muchas veces les parecía imposible.

Durante este tiempo he desarrollado un método online dinámico y eficaz, pensado para que aprender sea más fácil y productivo que en una clase presencial. Utilizo herramientas digitales, materiales propios y explicaciones claras que conectan con la forma de pensar del estudiante.

Además, mis clases no se acaban cuando termina la hora: mis alumnos pueden escribirme por WhatsApp para resolver dudas rápidas o pedir ayuda antes de un examen. Sé que estas materias pueden resultar duras, y por eso me adapto al ritmo de cada alumno y repito cuantas veces haga falta. Aquí no hay juicios ni prisas, solo un acompañamiento paciente para que el aprendizaje sea real.

🎓 Mi formación incluye el graduado en Filología Clásica, el Máster en Profesorado, el Máster en Filología y Tradición Clásica y cursos de especialización en didáctica y pedagogía online.
He trabajado tanto de forma particular como en academias, enseñando lenguas clásicas y alemán durante varios años.

✨ Si quieres aprobar, mejorar la nota y, sobre todo, comprender la materia con tranquilidad y sin ansiedad, estaré encantada de acompañaros.

Thanks to my many years of experience teaching students of all ages and learning levels, as well as a wide range of personalities, I know how to convey learning material in an understandable, motivating, and structured way.
As a doctoral student with a solid background in linguistics and literature, I quickly recognize where support is needed and respond specifically and sensitively to the needs of each student.
Whether it's tutoring, exam preparation, proofreading, or language practice for adults—my lessons promote not only knowledge, but also the joy of learning and lasting skills in writing, speaking, and understanding German, as well as in dealing with literature and history.
