Tutoring for International Baccalaureate (IB) Maths AA HL/SL, Chemistry HL/SL, Physics HL/SL and for International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) International Mathematics (0607), Additional Mathematics (0606), Physics (0625) Chemistry (0620).

I aim to make sure students understand material intuitively first before delving into complicated questions and foster a friendly and patient learning environment. Instead of relying on memorising formulas, I teach students how to derive the formulas themselves, build upon their previous knowledge and use them to solve complex questions in a simple way, building their confidence in the process. To facilitate this, I use metaphors and every-day things to construct stories that help students remember concepts and relationships between them.

My lessons are tailored to each student's needs, preferences and learning style so I am able to accommodate specific requests. I can help students work on improving both overall understanding of the subject as well as detailed and thorough understanding of specific topics/sub-topics. As someone who sat these exams myself, I know what the most common mistakes in each topic are, the best exam techniques and have lots of tips, tricks and resources I can share!

I offer flexible scheduling, with availability during the day, early mornings, and late evenings for lessons online or in-person lessons near South Kensington. Please message me before booking so we can find a time that works for both of us!
If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me :)

A final year engineering student, currently on exchange at Imperial College London, I offer private lessons in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Thanks to my two years of preparatory classes for the grandes écoles (CPGE), I have acquired a solid foundation in these subjects and a rigorous working method. Originally from France, I am fluent in French and English, which allows me to teach in both languages, depending on the student's needs. I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and I enjoy helping students understand, progress and gain confidence, whether to overcome difficulties or to improve. My goal is to support each student in a personalized way, at their own pace.

**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!
