Everyone can learn how to learn! No matter your background, your academic history or learning difficulties, I can help you develop great strategies and habits which will help you through your course, giving you lifelong skills. With a learning difference or not, study can be overwhelming and confusing, and lack of clarity can get in the way of your motivation to learn.
I'm a very experienced SpLD (Specific Learning Differences) tutor and academic mentor, and I have helped students in all sorts of disciplines from the arts to maths and medicine, law to the sciences and humanities, to:
Manage their time
Integrate a balance of life, work and study
Revise and prepare for exams
Essay and Dissertation structure
Interview and presentation preparation
And every other difficulty encountered in studying!
Together we can find great answers to everything you've ever wanted to ask about studying.

About Me

After crashing out of music college first time round, I discovered I'm dyslexic later in life. That insight allowed me to overcome that inner conflict, and I went on to achieve a first class BA in fine art, and later an MA. Further curiosity led me to complete an MSc in psychology. I don't tell you these things to impress you - they were a slog! But I learned how to learn and how to use dyslexia for the advantage it is. Along the way I've worked in student support and arts mentoring, and had the privilege to work with all sorts of people in all sorts of disciplines. Whatever the subject, the study skill barriers tend to be the same, while completely individual. I've mentored exoffenders in the arts, homeless people in reading, numerous Dyslexic and SpLD students from A 'Level to PhD in several London universities. People with ADHD, D/deaf students, blind, speakers of other languages, you get the idea. It's my greatest pleasure to help students untangle the knots and get to the revelation!

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.

I’m passionate about guiding each student along their path and providing them with the tools they need to feel confident using Spanish in real contexts.

Homework support isn't about getting answers faster. It's about learning how to learn.
While some parents see homework as a battle, I see an opportunity: teaching your child how his brain actually works.

In this class, your child will learn:
✓ How to actually study: not "work harder," but use methods that stick (mind maps, spaced repetition, Pomodoro technique)
✓ Time management without stress: organizing a chaotic schedule without anxiety apps
✓ When to use AI wisely: ChatGPT and other tools as learning partners, not cheating shortcuts
✓ Skills that matter: clear communication, problem-solving like a real thinker, asking good questions
✓ Support in any subject: math, languages, science, humanities, whatever they struggle with

How it works:
We start by understanding how your child actually learns, we don't impose a system that doesn't work for him.
Then we build a toolkit: proven study methods, personal strategies, technology used intelligently, and the confidence that he can learn anything.

What they take home:
A study system that works for him, not for others. Techniques he uses across all subjects. And something more important: the belief that learning isn't something that happens to him — it's something he controls.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Personalized to his age, subjects, and pace.
For parents wondering "Why is homework still a battle?"

Let's rebuild the foundation

We will learn the Arabic language used among people. We can call it Modern Egyptian Arabic. We have a distinguished curriculum for teaching Arabic in fun, interactive ways. The study is divided into six main levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2.

We will learn listening, conversation, vocabulary, and expressions, and we can give special attention to one skill based on your wishes. I have enough experience and skills to create an organized class, a clear plan, and achieve precise goals.

I use interactive learning in my class. You will feel fun while learning and you will also learn through games if you are young.

Personal Development is where everything you want to achieve and flourish in starts. Most people go to several years of school to build their careers but do not spend as much time to get to know themselves and build themselves. I will help you achieve growth.

Dutch can sometimes be difficult: grammar, spelling, reading comprehension, summarizing, or writing good texts. In these tutoring sessions, I help students step by step to become stronger and more confident in the subject of Dutch.

The lessons are practical, clear, and tailored to the student's level and goals. Together, we work on grammar, vocabulary, spelling, writing skills, speaking skills, and reading comprehension. In addition, I pay attention to study skills, so that students not only achieve better grades but also learn to work more independently.

I use many examples, exercises, and active assignments to make the material understandable and applicable. Whether it concerns VMBO, HAVO, VWO, NT2, or general language proficiency: the lessons are tailored to what the student needs.

My goal is not only to understand Dutch better, but also to develop more enjoyment and confidence in language.
