Private English lessons with a qualified and experienced teacher

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello,

I am a passionate teacher with a solid academic background and extensive experience in language teaching. With a Bachelor's degree in Portuguese-English Literature, specializing in teaching, as well as a Master's degree in Foreign and Second Language Teaching, I specialized in FLE (French as a Foreign Language) and ESL (English Second Language). My background allows me to combine theory and practice to provide quality education, adapting to the specific challenges of each learner.

I have taught English and Portuguese to professionals in large companies in Rio de Janeiro and, since 2018, I have been offering private lessons in FLE, English and Portuguese in Paris, adapted to all levels (A1 to C2) and all ages. I design personalized educational programs and pay particular attention to pronunciation, a key element for a complete mastery of the language. My teaching approach is focused on the progression of each learner, ensuring that learning is both effective and enjoyable.

I am available to answer any questions you may have.

Thank you and see you soon !

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
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 perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
