I have ten years of teaching experience, including two years as an English teacher at Brest Open Campus, Campus Langues, Heikhal Menahem Sinai High School and Lycée Claude Bernard, and two years as a teacher. English at the French-American Academy in the United States, and two years as a professor of English as a Foreign Language at Berlitz of Orange and Lexicon School of Languages in the United States.

My training as an English teacher continued in the United States where I lived for twenty years, first as a student at the Polytechnic University of California and then as a teacher of English and geography history. In 2012-2013 I had a year internship in continuing education at the University of Versailles, teaching English, M-2.

About Me

My usual lesson begins with ostensive definitions. I may show a student something as obvious as colors. The colored flashcards are accompanied by matching statements, "This is red, blue, green, yellow..." After the student have mastered these, an inversion is introduced: we change the order of words and intonation to make a question, "Is this yellow?" At first all questions are genuine. They perfectly match colors, "Yes, this is yellow." Later, the genuine questions become more rare. I intentionally mismatch the flashcard color and the the color in the question, introducing a longer, negative answer, "No, this is not yellow. This is blue."

Next, I show the student a few simple objects; for example, pens, pencils and markers.The same game of ostensive definitions follows. At this point, I can add the previously acquired vocabulary. Only now, I use colors as adjectives, "This is a yellow pen." I advance to those confusing rhetorical questions, eventually mismatching the colors and objects, "Is this a blue marker?" "No, this is a red pencil." This is an opportunity to add more objects and allow the student to ask questions, s/he hopefully has mastered by now.

Flash cards can also introduce persons, whose names are subsequently mismatched. The same happens to the way the persons relate to each other: there we can have both family and subordinate/superordinate, i.e. work relations: "No, John is not Pam's brother, John is Pam's father, etc." We add friends, co-workers, possessions, etc. (Possessive Case is not explained but extensively practiced.)

The same method is used to show parts of the body, parts of the house, both exterior and interior, objects in the room and prepositions. New adjectives usually accompany new nouns.
Similarly, new verbs are introduced with flash cards showing simple and more complex actions: walking, talking, playing soccer, watching TV, horse-riding, etc. Adverbs follow the verbs.

The same method is useful for teaching more complex grammar, such as Conditional Mood. A dozen of iconic images assembled on a single sheet of paper show different household chores. Negotiation process follows, "Will you do the dishes, if I water the flowers?" The answer is always negative, then a new compromise is suggested, "No, but I will cook dinner, if you change the cat litter." As you can see, using this method, we can easily advance all the way to the 3rd Conditional.

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Mahmood
Dutch Classes for Expats / Basic Civil Integration Exam
Hello! I’m Mahmood and I currently live in Gouda (South-Holland). I came to The Netherlands some time ago. As an Expat I know how tough it is to learn a new language, especially the Dutch language with its tough pronunciations and sentence structures. Being an Expat I understand much better what the challenges are that other Expats needs to go through to learn Dutch I am specialized in preparing Expats and other immigrants for the Basic Civil Integration Examination (Basisexamen Inburgering). I can also teach about the Dutch social culture and History of The Netherlands. Also I teach Dutch till A2 level or to the people who like to learn Dutch as a hobby. I teach one on one as well as to Groups (I provide discount for Groups). What can I teach you? : - Read and Write in Dutch - Sound like a Native Speaker - Participate in Basic Conversations and Use Daily Phrases - Understand and Pick Up on Basic Conversations My method of teaching: i) Starting discussion At the start, we will discuss your level and objectives. This way I can efficiently give you the help that you need. ii) Open communication I have an open way of teaching in which I encourage students to keep telling me what their difficulties are or where they would like to improve. In my experience, this saves a lot of time and also makes the lessons more fun. iii) Simplify instead of complicate I am good at listening and understanding why students are having difficulties with certain issues. The thing in which I’m best is explaining complicated things in a simple way.
