About Me

I am a bubbly, encouraging individual with great knowledge and passion for my subjects.
I will expertly tailor each session to each individual's personal needs, interests and level of understanding.

Education

7 A*, 2 As and a B at GCSE
Currently working towards A Levels in history, politics and English at James Allen's Girls' School
Taken a course in sociology and psychology and philosophy of the mind

Experience / Qualifications

My passion for learning has led me to take Pre-U courses in English and history, instead of the ordinary A Level syllabus. This means that my courses include much more independent study, including an extended personal dissertation in each on a subject of my choice. It greatly improved my research, time management and referencing skills. As the Politics Prefect at James Allen's Girls' School, I work closely with the politics department to edit and update the syllabus for politics and citizenship lessons in years 7-9 and promote taking the subject at A Level. Furthermore, as the mental health first aid leader, I teach the younger students a set course and assess their abilities to become an official first aider. I use my excellent time-management skills to organise the lessons, presenting skills to teach to content and administration skills to update the school board with the progress of the project. As a Holocaust Memorial Ambassador, I organise assemblies and resources within school to educate younger students, and coordinated with various individuals within the trust to put on an evening fund-raiser including a survivor testimony.

I have always loved exchanging and passing on what I have learned. My mother being a German teacher, I have always been immersed in the world of education. I started tutoring when I was in high school, and I still do today.

My journey :
- Mention Very Good at the ES baccalaureate
- Studied Sociology and Political Science at the University of Geneva
- History and Spanish studies at the London School of Economics (LSE), First Class Honours.

I help academically and psychologically students in History-Geography, SES and English. I explain the course in detail (if necessary), and we work on the methodology for each event, the organization and the planning of the work to be done. I can also follow your child in other subjects for the smallest classes.

For example, I worked with two students in great difficulty (general average around 7-8 out of 20), and the latter obtained their baccalaureate, one of them with honors.
I also worked with another student the previous year, who obtained the mention Very Good (with 19/20 in SES).

Currently a student at King's College in Master in Cultural Management, I did before that a double degree in Law and History of Art at La Sorbonne in Paris. I passed my Scientific Baccalaureate (OIB American) obtained with Mention Très Bien in 2015.
Thus, my studies allowed me to be rigorous and organized. Having already given piano lessons, I am also teaching.

My strengths are the literary subjects like French and English but I am very versatile and I can also help high school students in subjects like History, Maths, SVT, or Physics Chemistry.

My schedule remains very flexible.

Do not hesitate to contact me via the site.

French can be hard to learn especially if you don't have some motivation to do it. This is why I think that helping people learning it can make people appreciate the process of learning. I also did a Scientifique Baccalauréat (Math, Physics and Chemistry) and I study Economics and Management, I'll be able to teach Math until A-Levels.
For History, it is one of my passion especially French History as it is the one I learned through school but I'll be able to adapt to the lecture your child follow

I have a first class degree in History from Cambridge University and am passionate about the subject. So much so that next summer I am changing career to teach History at a secondary school.

I am well placed to help children preparing for 11+ exams in English and VR, and also those preparing for GCSE and A levels.

I am a passionate History, Sociology and Philosophy teacher (both ancient and modern). Fluent in Italian, Spanish and English I have taught History and Sociology in Madrid, Barcelona, North Italy and London. I can also teach Politics. Outside of the classroom, I have written and directed school plays, organized the school journals and the olympic games of philosophy.

My students are of differing ages and stages of proficiency, so I have plenty of experience teaching at all levels. I consider myself a friendly and patient teacher, concerned above all else with the all round development of my students' capacity for comprehensive thought. I have a strong belief in the unification of knowledge and am always striving to incorporate seemingly disparate branches of learning into a broader horizon in order to provide my students with a sufficiently complete picture.

Availability
The length and frequency of sessions can be determined by the student's requirements and availability.

The first lesson
For any given first session I like to get to know the student, find out where they're at in their course of study, and see what their current working methods are like. Usually, talking about the current piece of homework, the next upcoming exam, or due assignment is a great way to gauge their requirements, assess where my help is most needed, and thus collaboratively devise a joint programme of work.

My teaching method
I bring a broad-based interdisciplinary knowledge to a range of subjects. This allows the opportunity to consider new ideas and to place different perspectives in conversation with each other, which is an instrumental skill for improving academic writing.

A lesson with me will be interactive and lucid. I am adaptable as all students are different, so I will constantly monitor and remain attentive to our learning objectives.

My teaching methods vary, but as a rule I start with an in depth account of the subject, taking care to ground it contextually, and then proceed to a discussion of the main points. Whether the lessons take more of a dialogical form or the more typical lecture type format depends on the needs and preferences of the student.

The lessons will be focused on studying techniques, written exercises with supervision and recalling techniques. We will work not just to close any gaps but also help the student in learning how to optimize private study.

For students who need to get up to speed with content, I can offer sessions where I present you with ideas and new ways of understanding the topic.

I approach each topic according to the immediate and long-range needs of the student, whether they require help in comprehending their topic, in preparing for exams, or in planning, executing, and proofing written work. Depending on the desire and temperament of the student, I can gear my lessons either towards cramming and exam survival or towards the nurturing of lifelong learning.

My general policy is also to be flexible with what the student needs of me. For example, my payment is for the hour, however I am happy to look over work and send comments. My fee is not just one hour as I work with the student in all aspects of their learning via e-mails outside the lessons.

Pushing forward
If you're enthralled by your subject and wish to pursue it further, beyond the bounds of learning outcomes and assessment, then I can cultivate that passion in you. If you want to improve your critical or creative writing, I can help you articulate your vision and present it according to high standards; along the way I will instill good practices that will help you in any such task.

I teach how to write History essays and analyse historical sources and texts. Also, I teach how to learn content efficiently. I have a GCSE and A-Level in History, an EPQ in Ancient English Poetry and currently I am studying History at the University of London. I am adept at teaching all areas of History and all time frames.

Studying History can seem lengthy and boring at first, it's a lot of information and too vast to even memorise! You may often ask yourself, "is there a shortcut I can use to memorise so many dates and information?"
One thing about History is, the more you think it's difficult, the more you lose interest in it!

My classes are designed to tackle this lack of enthusiasm among students, because I've been through that phase making me more susceptible to students' needs and requirements. I begin with describing the meaning, purpose, and approaches to history answering basic questions like what is the need of studying history when we can instead look at the future! I use a step-by-step method to craft my course into a story-like narrative sparking curiosity among young minds.
Be it American, Chinese, Japanese, Indian or European History, or Modern World History, you name it! I am an expert in South Asian History but my interests reach far and wide. The world is an interconnected space and I will make sure that my students understand the basics of history to tackle with contemporary issues more efficiently..and also ace their exams!

This class will provide students with the necessary analytical tools and principal knowledge they need to succeed in their English, History, or Social Studies classes, on both primary and secondary levels. Coming from a background of sociological research, I have both qualitative and quantitative methodological study methods that inform my tutoring strategies and increase student's general comprehension of key concepts. Beginning with teaching core principles from assigned textbooks and syllabi (of which I independently review and use to create individual and tailored lesson plans), I also provide students with critical thinking skills, grammar lessons, and essay writing tips to ensure that they reach their academic and intellectual potential. I am presently a master's student at LSE and have six years of tutoring and teaching experience in related disciplines, as well as experience working with students with varied learning and cognitive demands.
