Expert tutoring from Columbia University instructor

I have 21 years of in-person tutoring and 13 years of online tutoring experience in the world's most competitive markets: New York, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Istanbul and more. I’ve recently moved to Paris and want to do the same here.

I am an expert in the following areas: all Math subjects up to Multi-variable Calculus, Physics, essay writing and literary composition, all areas of the SAT and ACT, the math sections/exams of the IB, AP, GMAT, GRE, GCSE and A-Levels tests/programs, film & video studies and production.

I have prepared many students for Ivy League and Oxbridge admission, helped some achieve perfect SAT scores, created and taught a course at Columbia University, and tutored students at Eton and Harrow in the UK (where the Royal Family sends its children) and Brearley, Packer Collegiate, Saint Ann’s and other top schools in New York.

Recently I was the main SAT course provider for the International School of Prague - the largest and most reputable international school in the Czech Republic - over a period of three years. I am also an industry expert in online tutoring: for the last 13 years I have taught well over a hundred students in five continents - completely online - for advanced subjects such as AP Calculus, A-Level Physics and IB Essay composition.

I am a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and a native English speaker, born and raised in the US before moving to Europe more than 15 years ago. When I’m not tutoring or consulting education companies on their technological needs, I’m usually working on screenplays or films. Or traveling... at least I was before the pandemic :)

We can work in-person in Paris or online. Even if you prefer to work in-person, I am happy to offer a 20-minute session online to answer your questions and provide a tutoring sample. Be sure to ask for this if interested.

Speak to you soon.

About Me

Born in the US and living in Europe for nearly two decades, I have worked with students at some of the best schools in New York, London, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Istanbul.

I am an industry-expert in online tutoring and have tutored students for advanced math, physics, exams and special programs (i.e. Calculus, SAT, IB, AP, GCSE, A-Level, etc) with live, online sessions since 2008, long before online tutoring companies had emerged. I have also consulted companies on their online tutoring setup and am designing an online education platform that has led to relationships with universities and companies in the US and Europe.

I have prepared hundreds of students for competitive universities including Ivy League and Oxbridge schools, created a course at Columbia University in New York, tutored students attending Eton and Harrow in the UK and Brearley, Packer Collegiate, and Saint Ann's in New York, and have been the exclusive provider of SAT courses to the International School of Prague, the largest international school in the Czech Republic.

Outside of education, I am a film director and screenwriter and have written two feature-length screenplays, set in Rome and Istanbul. I love to philosophize about art, history, politics, science and good food.

Math tutoring for high school students
As a teaching professional, I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge. My goal is to provide quality education. I am aware that some topics may seem complex, but often this is simply the result of an inadequate explanation by the teacher. With me, you will discover a real interest in the material! We strive together to achieve academic excellence, overcoming the shortcomings and difficulties encountered by your child. Studies will become a pleasant experience for him. In addition to the courses, I can also help with school orientation, identifying their preferences and highlighting the advantages and benefits of a fulfilling educational ambition. The sessions generally take place according to the following stages: 1️⃣ The first sessions are devoted to the assessment of the student's level in order to detect existing gaps. 2️⃣ Next, we create a personalized plan to address these gaps, including the number of hours of work needed, specific areas to focus on, and appropriate training and development exercises. 3️⃣ We stay in constant contact with the student's class teacher, to keep up to date with the latest requirements and ensure a consistent approach. 4️⃣ Subsequently, I provide exams similar to those that are likely to be asked in class, to prepare the student effectively. 5️⃣ Upon request, I write a regular report, usually monthly, to keep parents informed of their child's progress throughout their course. I adapt my methodology according to the specific needs of each student, thus offering them a personalized and adapted work approach. In addition, I offer crash courses for students preparing for the start of the school year, allowing them to start the year well prepared, with a solid lead on the school curriculum. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to help you.

SCHOOL SUPPORT - for the student (Primary & Middle School)
I offer academic support from primary to secondary school (only in the general sector). I consider mutual trust to be an essential element during lessons. I am aware that struggling students are sometimes hesitant to ask questions for fear of feeling embarrassed. With me, it's different: no question or error is considered "stupid". Our goal is to learn, and it is by making mistakes that we progress! In addition, I am committed to following the student's pace and adapting to them and to your requests so that the lessons are the most effective for their learning.

Tunisian Arabic, culture and civilization for everyone
This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies. It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture. I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

Every child is a Math genius | British tutor
When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person. It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever. I'm eternally grateful to that teacher. My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities. Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking. Bad teachers teach every child the same way. My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself. When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar. 👉Click the blue "Contact Oliver" button above and let's discuss how we can unlock your child's mathematical talents! 😊

Private lessons and tips in mathematics and physics-chemistry
Hello, Previously a double degree student in computer science and mathematics at Sorbonne Paris Nord University (formerly Paris 13). Student in applied mathematics engineering at ENSTA PARIS and ENSAE PARIS in double degree I can give tutoring in mathematics so that in physics and chemistry, the main advantage of my classes is that they contain tips that improve the student's response to an exercise, a very good course that aims the essential without forgetting the important details, and a follow-up of the evolution of the student through the tests of progression and exercises since the exercises of application until the starry exercises. Apart from my good teaching approach, I have great skills in mathematics and physics chemistry besides I am the first dz my class in mathematics in double license. Through my private lessons I want not only to transmit my knowledge, but also the good methods and reflexes before tests or exercises. Cordially.

Individualized German Online Tutoring for Business, School and Private
I am currently teaching German on a one on one base through individualized online teaching via zoom or any other online platform. I teach German grammar as well as conversational German and German for business and/or research. Please don't hesitate contact me to find out more about my teachings by asking questions and letting me know about your goals and concerns. I not only speak German as my mother tongue, but I also have excellent English skills and have taught adults and children in Japan, the USA and France. While living in Japan, I taught English to biologists of a biotech-company. For this purpose, I prepared current newspaper articles corresponding to the interests of the students and the teaching objectives for the classes. In class, the students and I used these articles to study the language, discuss the vocabulary and grammar as well as the language style used. In New York, I did not teach a language, but fashion design at the University (FIT Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC) for several years. All classes were taught in English with the student body consisting of international students, which required detailed preparation of the class. At the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI), also in NYC, I taught fashion design and creation to students grade 9 - 12. Here too, the lessons were exclusively taught in English. For my teachings, I developed daily detailed lesson plans to not only make sure that the predetermined class goals were easily reached, but also to ensure that the class content was tailored to the students' needs and that a positive learning climate was promoted.

Mathematics, physics and chemistry - High school - how to go about it.
I teach mathematics, physics and chemistry from elementary to high school: I put much more emphasis on methodology and confidence building. This makes it easier for students to approach the material. I support students throughout the year with personalized follow-up for each student: methodology, exam preparation, optimization and time management. Homework help, revisions, preparation of revision sheets, exam corrections, personalized advice. Depending on the level, the difficulties and the needs of my students, I set up a program to assess their progress. Some need more lessons to consolidate the basics while others master the course and they need more practice exercises. Once the students have mastered the course and the application exercises, we work through specific tests, self-confidence and time management, making it easier to tackle exams in class. I have students who were below average and who became good at it; others who were good but lacked confidence and subsequently became excellent. I am available immediately for regular or punctual courses.

Private Science Lessons - Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics
Dear student, I am a chemist who has graduated from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). I have always been fascinated by science, and I now hold a doctorate in solid-state physics from the University of Geneva. Science subjects can greatly assist you in passing your exams. I have been teaching these disciplines for many years, conducting exercise sessions both at the university and in private lessons as an independent tutor. For this reason, you will have the opportunity to request explanations on any subject. It is indeed beneficial for you to make progress based on your existing knowledge. You can choose to receive remedial lessons to review or explore entire chapters. Before the first lesson commences, I will invite you to freely and openly share your situation, enabling us to work effectively from the very first session. All scientific subjects share a common method known as "scientific logic." Whenever possible, I will provide you with elements of this method, as it will enable you to gain a lasting understanding and solve exercises rigorously. Your studies are of utmost importance, and it is crucial that you are taken seriously. Best regards, Julien

Learning English is easy! Trust yourself -lessons of writing, reading and oral expression for all levels
Hello my name is Audrey! I'm a student in international relations and Chinese foreign languages at INALCO. Because of my studies and having traveled a lot, I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language and how difficult it can be to overcome certain levels and to be confident in a language that is not our mother tongue. That's why I offer you my help! I am a French native from Poitou Charente. I traveled all around the world when i was a teenager and a young adult especially in Asia. Now i'm finishing my studies in Paris. For several years, I have been teaching English to children and adults of all levels. I have accompanied Koreans, Iranians, French etc. My goal is that you enjoy learning English and reach your goals. The course will be totally personalized and adapted to your needs and interests. I will also introduce you to the culture during our lessons (current events, highlights of the year, etc.) because in order to learn a language you need to understand the culture of the country. My classes will focus on the five skills: speaking, writing, listening, reading and grammar. Of course, if you wish to work on only one aspect in particular, this will be possible. We can use the material you have or we can also work with the resources I have. At your request and according to your needs I can give you homework to continue your efforts outside of our classes. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to discuss with you your expectations, your goals and my work method. I look forward to helping you in your quest to master the English language.
