SAT preparation for studies at American universities

From 27.23 € /h

The SAT is, to put it simply, the closest thing to the American equivalent of the baccalaureate. It is essential for studying at an American university.
Having obtained the SAT with a score high enough to be admitted to several American universities with scholarship, I offer SAT preparation courses (content, method, tips for math and English) at my home, in a public place at your convenience or by Zoom. I can also provide advice on how to apply to US universities.

About Me

I obtained my scientific baccalaureate specializing in mathematics, international option, German and visual arts options with honors in 2020. Like many other students, the months following the baccalaureate were full of uncertainty. Despite my admission to the best French universities (La Sorbonne and Assas in law and human and social sciences), I felt the desire to go in search of a more atypical university experience. I have always admired the American education system, and I have always had a thirst for discovery and a change of scenery. So I decided to take a sabbatical, during which I focused on my personal projects (startup development, internship and volunteering). At the same time, I prepared my applications for the universities that have always made me dream. I passed my TOEFL with a score of 115/120, and my SAT with a score of 1370/1600 (710/800 in English). This allowed me to be accepted (among others) at Duke Kunshan University, Duke's branch campus, with an access rate of 8%.

Very little supervision during this adventure, I started helping high school students wanting to have a similar path (or who want to take the TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, Duolingo for other reasons) in 2021. I have been teaching for several years now, and being able to get to know my students and contribute to their success fills me with joy :)

Long term: Establishing clear goals, building the steps to achieve them, realizing the SIMPLICITY of mathematics, building confidence in your abilities and unlocking your child's potential.

Details of the formula:

One to two sessions of 1h30/2h per week to assimilate the course and prepare for the evaluations.
Classes delivered via Google Meet for effective online learning.

During my lessons, I would adapt my teaching method according to the needs of the student. I offer French, English and Mathematics lessons. I also remain open to different needs sought (other subjects). I will share with you my experiences and my knowledge as well as my learning method that I used during my studies.

As a native Moroccan, I have a perfect command of the Arabic language and I am comfortable teaching this language to students interested in learning it. In addition, being fluent in English, I am able to offer lessons in this language as well, which can be beneficial for students wishing to improve their level of English.

Regarding scientific subjects, my skills in mathematics, physics and chemistry are solid thanks to my background in mechanical energy engineering. I am able to simplify the complex concepts of these subjects and help students develop a deep understanding.

My pedagogical approach is based on patience, clarity and adaptation to the level of each student. I strive to make learning interesting and interactive, using concrete examples and varied teaching methods to facilitate student understanding.

It is important to know what the needs of the pupils are and to review with the young person on which points he has difficulties.
- Reread the lesson/course
- Do several exercises to identify the problem
- Identify the problem(s) and report them
- Redo some examples with him.

Learn Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Permutation & Combination, Probability, Statistics. These topics will be covered with crystal clear conceptual understanding. N o need of mugging formulas.
I will introduce the concepts in such a way that student will automatically understand the formulas rather than mugging.

I offer homework help in the following subjects: Mathematics, French, English, history/geography, SVT, physics/chemistry.

We will do homework for the following week, do course reviews in case of misunderstanding and prepare for assessments.

I am aware that it is sometimes difficult to motivate your child to start working. This is why I offer my help. Organization and regularity will be the keys that I will try to instill as much as possible.

Mathematics may seem complex, but with the right method, it becomes clear and accessible.
As a Master's degree holder in Supply Chain, I have gained extensive experience in the practical application of mathematics, logic, and problem-solving. I designed this course as a personalized support program for students who want to progress smoothly and gain confidence.

In this course you will learn how to:

Review the essential basics (arithmetic, fractions, equations, geometry, etc.)

Understand step by step how to solve exercises

Develop effective methods for organizing your homework

Apply practical tips to avoid common mistakes

Effectively prepare for tests and exams

My goal is to make math simple, accessible and motivating, whatever your level.

Is your teenager seeing their grades drop and their motivation wane?
Do your educational opportunities seem to be shrinking, and your future uncertain?

I've seen hundreds of students go through this phase. And every time, with the right tools, the smiles return and the grades follow.

For 9 years I have been giving private lessons in Maths and Physics-Chemistry for the following levels: Primary, Middle, High School, and Post-baccalaureate. My method adapts to each student and has proven itself.

My Method:
- 0: Identify the student's learning profile and potential areas of blockage/technical gaps (generally in 30 min the 1st session)
- 1: Assimilate the theoretical concepts of the chapter using concrete tools (mind maps, knowledge bridges, etc.)
- 2: Anchor your understanding of the subject through practical and visual applications
- 3: Logic: Structure the Foundations of scientific reasoning by encouraging students to develop their own logical thinking through specific questions. Foundations that can be reused in other chapters (and scientific subjects)
- 4: Guide towards Autonomy with targeted challenges and exercises to do alone and to correct together for the next session.

This method, which I have been using with my students for 9 years, has enabled them to overcome all their shortcomings in scientific subjects and master them in order to pass their exams.
But above all, my students find a smile again at the idea of studying Maths and Sciences because they regain something important: confidence in their abilities.

All my students preparing for the Bac or the Brevet have obtained them.

Testimonials from Parents & Students
- Mother of Maëlle, who took out of math classes and is taking her science specialization baccalaureate: "Good evening Abdé, Thank you very much for everything you have done. I know my daughter and it is a miracle that she has a smile and so much energy after 2 hours of math... you have given her back the desire to study and I thank you very much for that... I wish you every success (in all areas)"
- Corentin, who got 15/20 in Maths in his Baccalaureate specializing in SES and whom I was able to follow for 2 years: "You have a lot to do with it, so thank you so much for everything you taught me! When I think that I had an average of 5 two years ago!"
- Parent of Jules in 10th grade: "Hello Abdé, I hope you are well. Jules has been accepted into 11th grade with the chosen specialties. The efforts of the last month have paid off, thank you very much for your help. Jules really enjoyed working with you."

I support my new students for increasingly shorter periods, and their feedback is increasingly grateful.
In one session your child will learn to learn in a new way and will see school in a different light.
In 3 to 8 sessions all the gaps disappear and we will have installed the right automatisms thanks to a working method adapted to our profile.

Currently a Master 2 student in economics, I offer private lessons in mathematics, economics, and literature.

I attended a preparatory class in Literature and Social Sciences (BL), a demanding program that allowed me to acquire an excellent academic level in mathematics and economics, as well as in literature, history, and philosophy (equivalent to two years of university studies). This program also provided me with a very solid methodology, particularly for essay writing, text analysis, and the construction of rigorous arguments.

My approach is based on a structured, progressive pedagogy adapted to each student. My primary goal is to foster understanding, not rote memorization.
