IB Environmental Systems and Societies - Extra help

24 € /h

If you need extra help with ESS SL in the IB, this is your chance! Here you will get tips on how to do your IA and exams. Most specifically, how to answer the essay style questions in both Paper 1 and Paper 2!

A little about myself: I was top of my class in ESS for the two consecutive IB years and also did my EE on ESS!

Bachelor thesis review and guidance - Political Science

38 € /h

Bachelor theses are usually the last step needed for a student to graduate. Such task is challenging and requires dedication and focus. Therefore, I offer to give you some guidance and feedback on your thesis. It is important to have a second reader who has never read your thesis before and may not be as knowledgeable in your chosen topic as it provides new insight which you may have overlooked yourself.

I have recently graduated myself, with a political science degree and international relations specialization, and have gone through this process. My thesis focused on exploring the relationship between democratic systems and voter turnout. Therefore, if you are writing your thesis on a similar research area, I can also recommend great academic literature and further feedback!

Eu sou Teacher Teodora, uma apaixonada pelo inglês que transformou essa paixão em uma carreira dinâmica, criando a escola de inglês online, a Star English Brasil! My approach as a Portuguese tutor is student-centered, with highly interactive lessons that prioritize practical, motivating learning to build your confidence from day one. As a bilingual native Brazilian married to an American, I unlock the full spectrum of Brazilian Portuguese, from street-smart slang like "beleza!" (awesome!) and casual lingo such as "vamos nessa" (let's go) for vibrant beachside banter, to polished professional vocabulary for the business world—like "relatório financeiro" (financial report), "estratégia de mercado" (market strategy), or sealing deals with "acordo mútuo" (mutual agreement). I use techniques like real-life dialogues, from São Paulo boardrooms to Rio beaches, and collaborative exercises to weave grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation across this dynamic range. What sets my lessons apart is their total flexibility for all levels—from beginners nailing informal greetings with a tropical twist to advanced pros prepping for executive pitches—infused with my bilingual insights that bridge American directness and Brazilian nuance for seamless mastery. Why study with me? I empower you to navigate everything from friendly small talk to high-stakes negotiations, tracking progress and fueling motivation through dynamic interactions. Your journey to versatile, authentic Brazilian Portuguese starts here!

My name is Nicolas, and I am a Brazilian Portuguese teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I have been speaking Portuguese for about ten years now. I learned the language while living in Brazil for several long periods, both for study and work. I am currently living there again.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps a lot.

My lessons are tailor-made to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each student.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process in order to gain autonomy as quickly as possible. Grammar is also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced learners (improvement, exam preparation);
- Professionals (business Portuguese, interview preparation).

Currently based in Brazil, I am teaching my classes online. I will be back in Geneva in mid-December for in-person classes.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

I am a native European Portuguese teacher and have been teaching foreigners for several years. I teach all levels—from absolute beginners to advanced students who want to improve their fluency, pronunciation, and confidence in speaking.
(levels A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2).
I have several years of experience preparing students for the official CAPLE PLE exams, with excellent results.

My classes are personalized and tailored to your goals:
- Portuguese for everyday life;
- Portuguese in a work context;
- Portuguese for travel;
- Integration in Portugal;
- Conversation;
- Listening comprehension;
- Pronunciation;
- Practical vocabulary;
- Portuguese culture;
- Preparation for official exams.

I believe that learning a language should be a light and fun experience, but also competent and safe, without fear of making mistakes. That's why I create a relaxed environment where you will feel comfortable speaking from the very first class.

I work with:
✔ communicative methods
✔ real-life situations
✔ simple and clear explanations
✔ materials adapted to your level
✔ the student's pace, respecting your learning process

My goal is to help you communicate naturally, gain confidence, and actually use Portuguese in real life—not just study it in books.
