    Learn and get help with English language speaking and writing, Biology, Neuroscience and Psychology.

    As a scientist and researcher, I have experience teaching various subjects in science to high-school and university students. I have also worked as an English language tutor for over 5 years and love being able to help people to better use the language (whether for communication or for writing for school and work).

    Being able to be comfortable with the English language is a huge advantage not only for everyday communication but also to be able to communicate professionally. I especially specialize in the use of the English language for presentation and writing in the sciences and social sciences. I adapt my classes to each of my students - depending on their needs and goals. So whether you need help with conversational English or with your essays, scientific articles, theses, or dissertations - I can provide a specialized plan for you, and will do so taking into your field of study. Additionally, I can help you proofread and edit any writing you have.

    I am also a neuroscientist by training and can provide classes and help with your courses in Psychology, Biology, or Neuroscience. Additionally, I also tutor for Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering Sciences for high school and university students (in both English and French). My teaching philosophy for these is still the same- I adapt and prepare every class to each individual student's goals and needs.

    About Me

    I am a research scientist who loves teaching and have always made it a big part of my life- as a student and in my career.

    I completed a Ph.D. in Neuroscience in 2019, and am currently undertaking a second post-doctoral fellowship at INSERM in France. I have taught university-level courses on neuroscience, biology, psychology, and statistics. I also have an equivalent amount of experience teaching English to second language speakers (focusing especially on conversational aspects) and as a writing tutor where I helped university students and professionals with their writing on various subjects from the sciences, social sciences, humanities, fine arts, and engineering.

    I can help you write and improve any aspect of writing you may have- essays, lab reports, presentations, theses, dissertation and also help you prepare for tests. I understand how important it is to suit the style of writing to the topic at hand and understand the differences between writing for English, social sciences, and sciences.
    I also provide classes on English writing, neuroscience, and psychology.

    I can provide one-one or group tutoring and take the utmost care to provide classes and help that best suit each individual student, taking into account their specific needs and their specific areas of help.

    English Tutoring for Adults - Beginners to Advanced
    Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual. My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to: . Develop and widen their vocabulary; . Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview; . Gain confidence in spoken English; . Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors. After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

    Private lessons and tutoring in French, English and Spanish
    Graduated from a Masters in Comparative Literature and a Masters in Literary Translation, currently a freelance translator, I offer tutoring courses for middle and high school students in French. I have already accompanied several students in their preparation for the French bac, who have all made good progress. With my students, I insist on acquiring a good methodology to succeed, and put special emphasis on self-confidence: text commentary and essay should not be scary exercises! I work with the texts studied in class and adapt to the student's needs: revisions, feedback on corrected homework, preparation for oral exams, writing exercises ... I can also help students learn English and Spanish, which are my working languages. We look forward to meeting you, and taking part of the literary journey together, Lucia

    Scientific Consultation - Data Analysis - Statistics
    Dear researchers, dear analysts, As you are well aware, statistics is a powerful tool. When used appropriately, it allows us to characterize complex systems such as human populations or neural networks. I hold a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Geneva. And previously, during my master's thesis, I conducted ab-initio calculations within a computational physics research group at EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). Just like you, I understand the time investment required for properly understanding and utilizing certain tools. For those of you who recognize the importance of comprehending statistical techniques to conduct rigorous studies, you are right to seek guidance. So I am here to save you the time you need to focus on your work. Please feel free to contact me without hesitation. Sincerely,

    Michaël
    Learn in a simple and effective way: Spanish - English - Portuguese
    Good morning! Buenas dias! Delighted Michaël, teacher on the internet for more than two years. I would like to offer you a fun interaction that complements the school method. I have traveled around the globe which has led me to speak several languages and also to work in particular in England, Australia, Spain or the Dominican Republic. Basically I start the lessons by talking with my students about a bit of everything (in order to enrich the vocabulary). Depending on the level I adapt with files that are sent during the course. I also use the Callan method which works on repetition in order to properly assimilate useful words and phrases. All in a positive way :) Tell me your availability if you're interested for a first lesson. At worst it will have made you practice, at best you improve! Regards

    Doctor in cognitive psychology and statistician helps you in writing your research dissertation and internship report
    Doctor in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience, with a Master 2 in Biology and a Master 2 Pro in Science Communication, I teach my courses on scientific methodology and help writing research papers / TER / thesis manuscripts / internship reports. I intervene indeed on each stage of writing the manuscript by scrupulously respecting the guidelines, editorial requirements, and drafting standards (APA standards in psychology in particular). My courses and proofreading / corrections are aimed at a wide range of university courses (students from a curriculum in psychology, neuroscience, biology, sociology, medicine, international trade, marketing etc.). In the framework of doctoral or post-doctoral research projects or of Master thesis (1 and 2), I also propose an aid to the writing of research memory in the format (or not) of scientific articles published in scientific journals international. My classes are customized to better meet the expectations of each student. I also offer help in the statistical analysis of experimental data, with a rigorous methodology adapted to your research project. For statistical help, I usually use specific professional software (Minitab type, SPSS, Statistica, Jamovi, Jasp etc.), to conduct the most rigorous statistical analysis of experimental data. Teaching method: identification of needs and problems, identification of gaps in manuscript writing, participation in scientific reflection, suggestion of innovative methodological tools adapted to the scientific process, optimization of bibliographic research with tools adapted thematic research, coaching & confidence building, specific teaching tools, student involvement, rigorous follow-up, leading advice and recommendations. From my training in psychology, I take into account this essential component during my courses to adapt to the student, identify its shortcomings and thus propose an effective methodology to optimize its memo (written and or at the oral defense). My teaching method emphasizes the interaction between the student and the teacher with a methodology fully adapted to the student's needs and aptitudes. Course flow I also offer coaching for the preparation of exams, orals with powerpoint support and help with resume writing, cover letters etc. Other places of education: CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, University of Strasbourg, ESSEC Business School, IONIS UP, ISTH, University of Paris 8 and European School of Advanced Studies in Paris, Institut Tocqueville in Paris.

    Audrey
    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.
