    About Me

    Education has been a continual and very important part of my life for many years, be it academic study or vocational learning. Working across several different industries and being in contact with a diverse variety of international people has only added a further wealth of experience into the mix. My experience as an educator has mainly comprised tutoring teens and adults in TOEFL, IELTS and Business English. Teaching has been a pleasure as well as presenting me with interesting challenges that have further built my understanding of what is to be a language facilitator and necessitated an ongoing attention to self-improvement in the pursuit of a more complete skillset.
    I have experience working in Project Management in industries including media, manufacturing and marketing.

    ENGLISH TEACHER from ENGLAND excellent quality lessons
    Hello, are you looking for an English teacher, qualified from the UK? Do you wish to improve your pronunciation, your grammar and get ready for your job/school? The English lessons here are especially designed to meet your needs. Do you wish to have your work corrected, to work on literature/ business subjects/ linguistics or prepare yourself for an exam? Don’t wait and send me a message. The teacher can prepare you as well for specific examinations like IETLS or specific English programs (A-Levels, GCSE...). Why learning English? English is a worldwide language and you will need to have solid basis in English for your job or for leisure when travelling. Did you know? Knowing an extra language is extremely appreciated by recruiters because not only you are familiar with a foreign language but also you will be open-minded, knowing various cultures. 😊 You have the possibility to have the lessons via Skype (the majority of my students prefer having their lessons online, technology is fun!). If you have further inquiries, don’t hesitate to let me know, it will be a pleasure to help you and present you to your teacher.

    Learn English and Business Management Concepts at the same time (min-MBA)
    Professionals of all ages pursue various forms of an MBA with the intent of developing a robust understanding of management science and the overall business world. I am a recently graduate from the full-time MBA program at UCLA's Anderson School of Management. Having gone through this process myself, I believe this type of education is paramount for young adults and should be delivered at an earlier juncture prior to college (such that they can make the most informed degree/career decision). I intend to condense the core elements of an MBA degree into concepts that will resonate with students at a high school level. I will communicate this material to students through English such that they not only learn the language, but how to articulate their thoughts on all business matters.

    ENGLISH and/or RUSSIAN PRIVATE CLASSES (for all ages)
    Knowing English is really significant nowadays. As it is an international language, almost every field will require specialists who know it and can speak fluently. But does every school provide good teaching? Unfortunately, no. Even if it does, some people still need individual teaching as some people require more attention or unique methods of learning. In this case, welcome to my private classes! You didn’t understand something at school/college/university from your teacher of English? I’ll explain it to you. You already know English, but want to improve your level? I can show you how. If you want to learn some more languages and ready to challenge yourself with it, I can also offer you lessons of Russian. Let’s learn the languages together! Learn English and Russian in a simple way.

    Benoit
    Private math lessons - Limoges or online - Qualified and experienced math 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.

    Science and math tutoring for primary and secondary school students
    I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company. I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 9 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools. Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments. As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am. Are you curious about how nature works? Let's explore together!
