From 26.23 $ /h

I am a student who recently finished college and is heading to university. I have been a tutor for two GCSE students and one for a year 6 pupil, and I specialise in working with children up to year 11.
I aim to help the student with his knowledge gaps, and ensure a steady and continuous progress, whist making the subject as interesting as possible for the person. I offer constant feedback and help with whatever it is that they need, so they they obtain the grades they want in the examination.
I tailor the experience for each student and I make sure they feel comfortable and happy whist they are still challenged to improve themselves.
Additional work can be given if asked by student/ parent.

Extra information

It would be useful if you have an idea of where your gaps are, and a checklist for your exam board and subject, as that will help me at the start to identify what we have to work on.

**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!

have graduated with a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Edinburgh, UK. I am also an Erasmus Mundus scholar with a master's in Analytical Chemistry from Uppsala University. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in physical chemistry.

I have been tutoring since 2012 to fund my education expenses. I formally began tutoring in 2014 as part of my vocational training as a teacher in Ghana, funded by the University of Edinburgh. The formal training has taught me a lot about curriculum development, time management, and fusing my teaching methodology to my students’ needs. I have been tutoring in Physics, Chemistry, and Math, in person and online; the hybrid model has allowed me to reach out and teach students in 8 different countries. I have successful students from these past nine years who have not only commended my work ethic but can also stand testament to my enthusiasm.

My excellent academic career has nurtured in me a natural talent for teaching. My experiences have taught me how to tackle one problem at a time, and I believe that using this approach—paired with my unconventional examples that force students to think outside the box—I can truly provide an excellent understanding and explanation. My teaching methodology is based on two main things: skill development and adaptation. Initially, I create a skeleton of the most suitable methodology tailored to the preferred curriculum, after which, I adapt that lecture to the specific needs of the student based on their knowledge and grasp of the concepts. Second, I like to develop analytical and scientific ability along with knowledge in my students, and for that, I use a combination of resources in the form of worksheets, class tasks, and past papers. Last, I believe in the strong ethic of providing feedback to the parents, so that they are aware of their child’s progress.
