Présentation

I am a highly dedicated and experienced tutor with a passion for empowering students through education. With an Oxford PhD, I bring a deep understanding of academic subjects and a commitment to fostering a love for learning.

From an early age, I have been captivated by the power of problem solving and the transformative nature of reading. This passion has driven me to excel in Maths and English, and I find great joy in simplifying complex concepts and making difficult ideas easily understandable for my students.

My tutoring journey began in 2001 when I started supporting students in secondary school after completing my degree. Witnessing their growth and improvement ignited my passion for teaching and inspired me to expand my reach. Over the years, I have worked with local children, boosting their confidence in Maths and English and helping them achieve better results.

One of the most transformative experiences of my life was living as a monk in India. During this time, I volunteered for a charity that focused on food distribution and education in the slums of Mumbai. I provided crucial support to children with learning difficulties and complex behaviours, enabling them to reach their academic goals. This experience highlighted the empowering nature of education and further fuelled my desire to make a positive impact through teaching.

Upon returning to the UK, I dedicated my efforts to mentoring young adults in a non-profit spiritual organisation. By offering pastoral care, guidance, and coordinating various activities, I aimed to inspire ethical development and foster a growth mindset. Additionally, I organised international trips and delivered presentations on philosophy, self-development, and mindfulness to demonstrate the practical application of these principles in their lives.

As a private tutor, I have had the privilege of helping numerous students successfully receive offers from their desired schools. I believe in understanding each student's unique learning style and tailoring my teaching methods to suit their individual needs. My goal is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to reach their full potential.

Outside of tutoring, I am an avid traveler, exploring diverse cultures and customs. I am an enthusiastic sports player, enjoying football, badminton, and swimming. My dedication to continuous learning fuels my love for reading, especially in the fields of theology, history, and philosophy.

I am a tutor of Italian and English as a foreign/second language. I had the opportunity to teach in different contexts with multicultural groups of students from many countries and backgrounds. I am currently teaching Italian to individual students and corporate clients with different language requirements and purposes. I have also conducted a preparation course for Italian GCSE and A level exams in London.

I teach to all levels and ages using a communicative and student-centred approach. My lessons are very interactive and focused on real life and cultural situations.
I care about my students’ learning progress and achievements and I am keen to guide them in a friendly, dedicated and respectful manner. Moreover, one of my main goals as a teacher is to enable my students to enjoy the experience of communicating, thinking and reacting in a foreign language.

Acquiring additional languages will broaden your horizons; it will enable you to interact with a greater number of individuals and enhance your social network, while also enhancing critical thinking skills from diverse perspectives that may result in significant career opportunities. Cultural awareness, improved communication skills and enhanced academic performance are just a few of the benefits of learning new languages or improving your language skills.

For an academic student, I would monitor their current classes, design exercises to enhance their proficiency and concentrate on identifying and ameliorating their weaknesses.

In a lesson for a volunteer learner, I would prioritise speaking practice, since the pronunciation of certain syllables is essential.

Struggling to find a tutor who truly gets you and how you learn best? Let’s work together to discover strategies that match your interests and help you succeed!

Hey! My name is Sophie, and I’m here to help you master French and math with ease and confidence. As an MSc Management and Strategy student at LSE and a graduate of a bilingual Russian-French school, have a deep grasp of these subjects, allowing me to tailor lessons to your unique needs. I’ve had the rewarding experience of teaching extracurricular French classes to middle and high school students at my former school, and I also have experience tutoring math. Whether you're aiming to boost your conversational skills, improve grammar, or strengthen math fundamentals, my blend of subject knowledge and teaching experience will guide you on your journey to success.

My tutoring approach prioritizes patience, clarity, and a tailored teaching style that adapts to each student’s unique learning needs—whether in French or math. When tackling complex French grammar, like the distinction between passé composé and imparfait, I simplify concepts into relatable terms. For example, I liken passé composé to a snapshot—capturing completed actions, while imparfait is more like a video, showing ongoing or habitual actions. Using everyday examples like “J’ai fini mes devoirs” (I finished my homework) or “Je lisais chaque soir” (I used to read every evening), I make these tenses practical and easy to understand.

In math, I apply the same approach by breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, layering in theory and real-life applications to build problem-solving skills progressively. My aim is to create a supportive, engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, exploring new concepts that are not taught in school, and refining their skills in math or French.

Ultimately, I am dedicated to empowering my students to not just pass exams but to communicate confidently in French and tackle math challenges with ease, equipping them with the tools and confidence they need . Let’s embark on this learning journey together!

Setswana is a rich, rhythmic language spoken in Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia. Belonging to the Bantu family, it closely resembles other languages in the region.
I have found learning Setswana through several terrific teachers, thorough textbooks and daily life enriching.

Growing up in Botswana, speaking this beautiful and intricate language, or at least making an effort to do so, can transform the way you live in Botswana.
I have taught semester-long regular beginners Setswana lessons to children aged 7-12 and adults, with strong emphasis on understanding grammar by breaking it down into “formulas” for how to form tenses and sentences. I teach these and vocabulary through a mix of traditional explanatory lectures, practice exercises and creative games, accompanied by study techniques I have found very useful for learning foreign languages. I have also worked as a trained English tutor, and study linguistics at university, both of which have shaped me to better understand and teach language.

Each class will consist of grammar formulas (eg: basic conjugation in the present tense: linking pronoun [for the human noun class group, for example: ke=I, o=you, o=him/her, re=we, le=you plural, ba=they] + “tla” [as in “will”] + verb), some vocabulary words, spoken or written exercises or games to go through together and longer practice exercises to build independent confidence.

My teaching materials I use I developed whilst living in Botswana, and have already been used with my aforementioned classes. I hope they can help you too !

**Middle School/High School/Post-Bac (includes specific preparation for the brevet and baccalaureate exams and equivalents depending on the country)** support focused on self-confidence, repetition of exercises and working methods - DAILY supervision and monitoring - Guaranteed results. We also prepare students for their exams or for next year thanks to our weeks of intensive courses!

A private tutor and coach for 10 years, I created my own coaching method with my colleagues Thibault and Charlie. We support many students full-time, systematically ensuring progress of at least 4 points on their average.

“In teaching, like other hobbies, you don't just have to think, you have to practice a lot!”

What allows the student to really progress is the repetition of the exercises to have automatisms. The student's problem is not only to understand the course, but to be sufficiently motivated and supervised on a daily basis to effectively integrate the methods, with automatisms and rigorous writing.

In addition to private lessons, we offer daily remote monitoring which is based on 3 strengths:

1. Create a work framework and routine: we help the student plan their weekly work and send them the necessary exercises, corrections and course materials.

2. Availability at any time: so that the student never gets stuck, he can contact his teacher to ask for a hint for an exercise or a quick explanation by message.

3. Support and motivation: we help the student see their weekly progress and ensure that their motivation remains high throughout the support.

Here is how our students are supported:

After an initial discovery call, the student takes an initial course with their tutor to take stock of their situation, identify their state of mind (motivation levers, confidence) and their room for improvement (gaps, methods not mastered, inaccurate writing, careless or calculating errors).

Depending on the student's assessment, the tutor recommends a tailor-made formula combining private lessons, adapting the number of hours per week and daily remote support.

Daily support focuses on training in REAL CONDITIONS: alone, without course materials or a teacher and with limited time.

The student then sends us their copy, and we provide them with a rigorously written answer key, the corrections for their copy, and their grade the same day. They can then immediately learn from their mistakes and redo the assignment perfectly. The goal is to learn automatically.

Through repetition, this method allows the student to:

- Never get stuck on a question during a DST again
- Improve your time management, by getting used to working in real conditions
- To improve the rigor of its writing
- To reduce the number of careless mistakes

In addition to the training sessions, each coach supports the student through private lessons or telephone coaching sessions, depending on their challenges. Coaching sessions provide time management advice, review work completed, and define future goals.

This monitoring allows us to be as close as possible to the student in their revision, being contactable at any time and being very responsive in correcting their copies.

This method allows us to guarantee a rapid increase in grades: on average, +4 points on the average in less than 6 months (see the numerous testimonials).

The results of this method compared to traditional private lessons are significantly superior. It has allowed many students to go from an average of 11-12 to over 16.

You also have real-time access to the student's work schedule and monitoring of their progress (grades, exercises worked on, concepts and methods acquired) so that you can have an overview of the work carried out and your child's progress.

We can put you in touch with parents of our former students so you can hear their feedback. We can also send you photos of students' exam papers that achieved excellent grades.

Do not hesitate to contact me to find out more!
