Présentation

I'm passionate about Chess and I try to impart the same passion to the learner. The sessions are informative, anecdotal and fun! I strongly believe Chess is not just a game, it's a way of thinking. Hence, the learner will be taught how to approach the game, strategize, think out of the box and develop general problem solving skills.

The learning plan will be structured in a systematic manner according to the needs and preferences of the learner. I offer both personalized 1-on-1 sessions and group sessions to facilitate collaborative learning.

People of all ages and nationality are welcome to contact me for chess lessons.

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.

Dear student/Querido alumno

My name is Denise I’m a Mexican Spanish as Foreign Language tutor (ELE Español Lengua Extranjera as acronym) certified by "Escuela Internacional Cervantes" with a Bachelor in Spanish Literature by the University of Nuevo León Mexico (UANL).

I started teaching and tutoring Spanish at a very young age helping my colleagues from High School achieve better scores and later I formalize this activity while finishing my university studies.
For the last seven years, I’ve been teaching Spanish in America and Europe to a broad variety of students: children/teenage tutoring, in-company adult students, online orientation and freelance translation for diverse projects.

I follow a flexible method adapting to the student’s level and personal goals.
During our classes the student will receive exercises, activities and extra resources as a plus for their class time.
My tools are diverse: textbooks, videos, podcast, newspapers, etc.

My name is Daniil, and chess has been a part of my life since I was 5 years old. Passionate about this fascinating game since childhood, I've played hundreds of competitions and won dozens of youth and adult tournaments.
For the past 10 years, I have been sharing my passion for chess as a teacher in various settings: clubs, primary schools, secondary schools, private lessons, and associations. I also teach in English and Russian.
Furthermore, I graduated from the Sorbonne with a Masters in international strategy and business intelligence.

Some figures to know me better:
• 10 years of experience in teaching chess
• 20 years of experience in club and competition
• Official 1900 FIDE / 2400 Elo rating on online platforms
• More than 2,500 courses given to 1,000 students in group and individual lessons

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced player, my lessons are designed to help you progress quickly while having fun playing.

My method is based on solid teaching experience and relies on a comprehensive and structured approach, suitable for all levels. It is based on three main axes:

1. Learning the fundamentals: Learn or consolidate the essential principles in the opening, middlegame and endgames.
2. Tactics and strategy: develop your sense of the game with targeted, fun and practical exercises.
3. Analyze your games: Understand your mistakes, identify your strengths, and apply this knowledge in your games.

My goal is to offer you a clear and complete vision of the game, to progress effectively and achieve your goals, whether it is to play for pleasure or in competition.

Le français: de la lecture à l'écriture en passant par les subtilités orthographiques, les conjugaisons et la grammaire ; maîtrisez la langue française et jonglez avec les mots.

Ma méthode porte sur l'expérimentation et le ludique de façon à mieux ancrer les bases et ensuite les explorer de façon personnalisée.

Niveau primaire ou secondaire, j'accompagne enfants ou adultes dans une mise à niveau, une remédiation une découverte ou un approfondissement de la langue ou même à une préparation à un examen. ( CEB, CE1D)

J'aide aussi aux devoirs, aux réalisations de dossiers (de présentation, de fin d'études -TFE, Memoire- ) ou aux à d'autres projets d'écriture : méthode, recherche, synthèse.

Philosophe, agrégée en philosophie, j'ai pu avoir l'expérience de l'enseignement en secondaire durant 7 années. Je suis maintenant formatrice privée et rédactrice.

Au plaisir de vous coacher,

Homework support isn't about getting answers faster. It's about learning how to learn.
While some parents see homework as a battle, I see an opportunity: teaching your child how his brain actually works.

In this class, your child will learn:
✓ How to actually study: not "work harder," but use methods that stick (mind maps, spaced repetition, Pomodoro technique)
✓ Time management without stress: organizing a chaotic schedule without anxiety apps
✓ When to use AI wisely: ChatGPT and other tools as learning partners, not cheating shortcuts
✓ Skills that matter: clear communication, problem-solving like a real thinker, asking good questions
✓ Support in any subject: math, languages, science, humanities, whatever they struggle with

How it works:
We start by understanding how your child actually learns, we don't impose a system that doesn't work for him.
Then we build a toolkit: proven study methods, personal strategies, technology used intelligently, and the confidence that he can learn anything.

What they take home:
A study system that works for him, not for others. Techniques he uses across all subjects. And something more important: the belief that learning isn't something that happens to him — it's something he controls.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Personalized to his age, subjects, and pace.
For parents wondering "Why is homework still a battle?"

Let's rebuild the foundation

Je suis un professeur particulier qualifié et passionné de mathématiques et de sciences physiques (PC), diplômé de l'Université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar (UCAD). Mon parcours académique inclut des études en mathématiques, physique et informatique durant mes deux premières années universitaires, suivies d'une licence et d'un master en biomathématiques, où j'ai pu approfondir mes compétences en sciences appliquées.

Mon expérience en tutorat a débuté au sein de mon cercle familial, et avec plus de dix ans d'expérience, j'ai développé une approche personnalisée du soutien scolaire, enrichie par une formation pédagogique en ligne. Je propose des cours adaptés aux besoins spécifiques de chaque élève, en commençant toujours par un bilan approfondi de leurs compétences pour mieux cibler les lacunes et élaborer un programme de remédiation sur mesure.

Sur le plan personnel, je trouve une grande motivation dans le travail avec des élèves passionnés par la réussite. Leur détermination à progresser stimule mon engagement à les accompagner vers leurs objectifs. Très professionnel dans ma démarche, je me concentre strictement sur l'aspect pédagogique, garantissant un environnement de travail sérieux et structuré pendant les cours.

Ma maîtrise des programmes de mathématiques et de sciences physiques, couplée à mon expertise en biomathématiques, me permet de simplifier des concepts complexes et de rendre l'apprentissage des sciences plus accessible. Mon objectif est d'aider chaque élève à renforcer ses bases, à retrouver confiance en lui et à acquérir une autonomie dans ses études.

Je propose mes cours particuliers à Dakar, au domicile de l'élève ou à distance via une plateforme en ligne interactive, offrant ainsi une flexibilité et une efficacité égales dans les deux formats.
