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.

My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people.

I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress.

Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF:
- The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
- The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles.

If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !

I am convinced that one of the most effective ways to learn a language is to start speaking it; hence, we will definitely have an "English only" policy in our classes. Don’t worry though! I will make sure that you are comfortable and always heard. We’ll focus heavily on speaking so you can freely talk about your everyday life, communicate with strangers while traveling, and even spill the tea with me without overthinking your grammar.

There are no specific textbooks, but separate lessons on different topics that include grammar, vocabulary, rules, and also movies, songs, TV series, and games, so you can grasp the language in various ways.

Working on your mistakes, focusing specifically on the topics that matter to you, boosting your conversational skills, or preparing for exams are all considered and integrated into the lessons. I am looking forward to having you in my classes!

So, shall we start? :)

Greetings! My name is Anne, and I love working with people from different countries, backgrounds, and age groups.

I am a native English speaker (with a neutral North American accent) who has had the privilege of living in 5 different countries so far. I am proficient in American, Canadian, and British English—I can teach one style or a mix of all three! This includes differences in pronunciation, conversational English (sentence structure and common phrases), grammar, spelling, and academic/professional communication. I also help students understand cultural nuances, including the fine art of mastering direct versus indirect communication.

I have also dabbled in a bit of Aussie slang during my time in Australia—which may not always be practical, but is heaps fun to know if you are keen (that was very Aussie English there)!

My specialty is helping learners develop an English accent that is clear and easily understood worldwide (avoiding thick, muffled, or fast accents).

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from one of the top business schools in Canada and have been working in the non-profit sector since graduating. Therefore, I am also able to help you improve your professional communication skills, including speaking, writing, interviewing, etiquette, body language, and understanding the nuances of different business settings.

Having had the privilege of working with people from approximately 45% of the world’s nationalities thus far, I am very familiar with differences in culture around the world, and how to navigate transitioning between them smoothly (aka code switching)!

My first business was a home tutoring service that I started in high school, teaching English and Math. I have lots of experience working with children, youth, and young adults from around the world, and am friendly, caring, patient, and encouraging in my teaching approach.

My lessons are tailored to your specific needs and goals, and my 'starter‐finisher' personality will help you reach them—at your own pace! They are practical (drawing on real-world experience), interactive, engaging, and, most importantly, fun! I will not give up on you (no matter where you are starting from) because I deeply enjoy helping people build confidence—not just in English, but in themselves.

I look forward to meeting you!

I offer online lessons in French, English, and history/geography, tailored to all levels (from primary to university). Thanks to my experience, I can quickly identify your needs and discuss them with you to create targeted and truly effective sessions.

A typical hour-long lesson is structured and dynamic: we begin with a brief discussion to identify your specific challenges, then we work together on essential concepts with clear and accessible explanations. You then practice according to your needs (exercises, writing, speaking in English), with immediate feedback to ensure effective progress. The session concludes with a simple review and personalized advice to help you continue moving forward.

All this in a serious, caring and motivating environment, to help you in the best way possible.

Hello everyone,
My name is Phillip. I am an experienced, native bilingual (USA/Switzerland) English teacher. Today, I am pleased to guide you in your learning from my office located in the wild and inspiring setting of western Ireland.

With many years of experience as a private tutor, I work with students from all backgrounds. However, over time, I have developed an approach that is particularly appreciated by seniors and retirees. Why? Because I am convinced that learning a language at this stage of life should first and foremost be a shared pleasure, a window onto the world, and a wonderful way to keep the mind sharp and curious.
My approach: Trust and kindness above all

Many of us have somewhat rigid memories of school learning. With me, forget the stress of mistakes or tedious grammar. My primary goal is to restore your confidence. We progress at your pace, with a gentle, patient, and personalized teaching approach. Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to refresh your old school memories, I adapt completely to your needs.

What we can explore together:
- Travel English: So that your next trip abroad is synonymous with serenity (getting around, ordering in restaurants, communicating with locals without apprehension).

-Maintaining family ties: Ideal if you have bilingual grandchildren or grandchildren living abroad and you want to share more with them.

-Conversation & Culture: Discuss current events, literature, history or life in Ireland, while enjoying my clear and easy-to-understand native accent.

-Brain gymnastics: Using English as a fun and stimulating tool to maintain memory and cognitive plasticity.

Why choose me?
As a dual American and Swiss national living in Ireland, I bring a unique cultural richness to your life. I have a mastery of all the nuances of the English language, but I also have a perfect understanding of French culture and structure.

Practical and technological aspects:

We'll work together via Zoom or Google Meet, very simple and reliable tools. If you're worried about the technology, don't be: I'll guide you step by step during our first session so you feel completely comfortable on screen. It's much simpler than it seems!

Join me for a friendly and engaging experience, blending Swiss rigor, American optimism, and the legendary warmth of Ireland. Let's transform your English practice into a truly enriching human adventure.
Nice to meet you,

Phillip
