As a qualified science teacher who left the National Education system, I offer private science lessons via video conference under self-employed status.
With 20 years of teaching experience, including 10 years at the secondary level, several baccalaureate examination boards to my credit, part-time teaching in preparatory classes for the Grandes Écoles (CPGE) and in the competitive teaching exam preparation program at UCB-Lyon 1, and many years of experience in private tutoring (including 8 years as my main activity), I offer my assistance in Life and Earth Sciences, from high school to post-baccalaureate level: preparatory classes for the Grandes Écoles (BCPST), CAPES exam preparation, competitive teaching exam preparation, Bachelor's or Master's degrees in Geosciences, and CRPE exam preparation. I can also provide courses or thematic workshops for adults (individually or in small groups) who wish to continue learning at any age.
My lessons combine rigor and kindness, professionalism, dynamism, and humor, according to my former students when they talk about the help I've been able to provide. I am used to working with students with multiple learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, giftedness, and Asperger's syndrome, as I am neurodivergent myself.
I insist a lot on scientific methodology. I can help you optimize your learning and memorization techniques, help you get to the point, make mental maps. We will also work on the general organization of your work if necessary. I also and above all want to pass on to you my pleasure of learning and the passion of SVTs, which continue to inspire me even today.
Having taught private lessons in person at students' homes for many years, I now prefer to focus on online lessons via Zoom, Skype, or other video conferencing software. I have been teaching online since March 2020 and have since upgraded my equipment to ensure greater comfort for my students: headphones with a microphone (high-quality sound), a graphics tablet connected to an interactive whiteboard, a camera/document viewer, and front lighting to minimize harsh shadows.
Having also a first literary course (LEA English-German Masters), I was able to pass within the framework of National Education a complementary double certification allowing me to teach SVT in English and German. If you need SVT courses in these languages, please let me know in advance of the topics you want us to address.
I am available on long time slots during the week and on weekends, during school periods but also during the holidays, where I offer intensive internships if necessary.
Please respect the reserved hours. The courses are adjustable in advance. Any course canceled less than 24 hours in advance is due at 50%. Indeed, the time that I could waste managing multiple cancellations and rescheduling of courses is time that I cannot put to the service of the success of my students.
In addition, the presence of a framework, of operating rules is necessary for the investment of pupils and students who engage in a process of support. So, I also ask you to be punctual and to start your computer and your videoconferencing software a few minutes in advance in order to start the session on time, not to waste precious minutes of class (the session will end at the time initially scheduled ... 10 minutes late means 10 minutes of lost lessons) and to respect the students who have lessons after you.
I look forward to meeting you and bringing you my help and expertise.
