English Literature (specifically International Bacc (IB) Higher Level)

Like any other language, one cannot simply excel by covering the written aspects such as grammar; practice in linguistics will be what really rounds off your level of both speaking and writing. I offer both understanding and explaining grammatical, prose, and poetry of the IB English course, as well as preparing various topics to discuss in order to expand your vocabulary and fluency when speaking, writing and doing the exams.

Great tutor! Will keep seeing her.
We are satisfied with how the first day went. My daughter is actually looking forward to the next tutorial schedule with Farah.
Very good and productive first meeting. Looking foreward to working with this new tutor!
A language that is learned fast once spoken, English is one that requires a development of one's vocabulary. I believe the fastest way to get a feel for a language is to speak it, in a natural flow of conversation. I propose weekly classes of various different topics, about what is happening in the world, new films movies, culture, etc. whatever we choose to discuss in order to improve and correct your English. Correction of texts and essay-planning is also possible !
Chemistry is a very complex subject and can be problematic for highs if there is a basic deficiency. I can help you with your questions, your homework, projects at schools etc. At this time I have chemistry courses at the university, so I have different approaches to understand, and teach this subject. Version française: I have also completed the International Baccalaureate with Higher Level Chemistry. Currently I have classes of University-level chemistry, so I have different approaches to understanding, and teaching this interesting, but complex subject.

The more detail, the better.

Amélie
Cours de Français, Néerlandais, Anglais, Mathématiques, Histoire, Relations Internationales, Droit, Sciences et Géographie.
I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student who has recently completed a Master's degree in International Law at the University of Amsterdam. I completed my Bachelor's degree in International Relations at the University of Geneva (magna cum laude) and also spent six months on exchange at UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara). Additionally, I attended an international high school in France for my secondary education, where I specialized in sciences and achieved a score of 18/20 on the final scientific baccalaureate. The classes at this school were taught in French, english, dutch, and spanish. Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience: 2021/2022: I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught french, dutch, and english to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus. 2021: Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as math and french. 2017/2020: I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught french, mathematics, and english. During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework. I can teach French, Dutch, and English, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills. As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive. I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with you! Amélie
