Hi I am a native English-speaking Londoner, highly educated with straight As and two Masters from the UK, now age 38 with a family in Copenhagen, where I teach at Copenhagen University Faculty of Psychiatry.

I taught English Language (TEFL) in a cool busy school in Central London for 5 years. I went on to have another career as a professional academic in Child Psychology, and you can find my work online published by Oxford University Press and in The Spectator

I am an expert in English Language for all levels, but in particular advanced levels - exam preparation, essay writing and essay composition, examined speaking and so on. I will help you achieve top marks in your school exams, or make the most compelling business presentation, teaching you all the idioms and language tricks you need to get distinguished from all the rest.

As you can see I am a serious professional teacher with a lot of experience and skills - you are getting a lot of bang for your buck!

I can also teach piano!

About Me
I love improving. If you are a good English speaker, but you want to make sure you get absolutely THE TOP MARK in your school or uni examinations- I am the teacher for you. I have years of experience teaching English examinations, and also of composing and writing top mark winning essays. I will show you how to get the maximum use of your language, and teach you any idioms or speaking and writing tricks to separate you from the rest.

I used to be a professional English teacher, I then made another career as an academic. My writing is published by Oxford University Press and in The Spectator. I am now available to help you or your child smash through their school examinations, or make the most compelling business presentation, or present an indisputable academic paper.

Hello everyone !
I am a friendly teacher who teaches mathematics and physics to Highschool and Bachelor students, in English or French. I have studied Mathematics and Physics for 4 years in France in preparatory class (MP) and in my Engineering School (Ecole Centrale de Lyon). I currently have a master's level in Math and a Bachelor Level in Physics. If you want to improve your grades at a reasonable price, please contact me.

I am currently a French master's student in Data Science at CBS as part of a double-degree program with my university in France. I am looking for motivated Highschool or Bachelor's students who would like to improve in Math or Physics. I can provide both short-term and long-term support. For example, I can prepare you for final exams as well as provide regular follow-ups of your improvements during the year. My schedule is very flexible.

I am 21 years old and I gave private lessons to Highschool students during the summers of 2021 and 2022 in Grenoble.
I am very serious and an active listener. I don't hesitate to spend time with my student to really make them overcome their difficulties. I am teaching in a very friendly and cozy way but since I am also very passionate about what I teach, we won't waste any of the time we have together.

My CV:
-French Scientific Baccalaureate with a major in Maths, graduated in 2014 with honors
-French "Classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles" MPSI/MP, two years of intensive courses to prepare to a national competition to enter French engineering schools, specializing in Math - 2018-2020
-École Centrale de Lyon, a French general engineering school entered in September 2020
-TOEFL iBT 108/120 which gives me a bilingual level in English
-My master of Data Science at CBS started in August 2022

I am an experienced and certified mathematics tutor specializing in a range of curriculums, including AS and A-Levels, IGCSE, GCSE, SATs, Edexcel, and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With a proven track record of guiding students to success in these rigorous exams, I understand the unique challenges each curriculum presents. My approach is designed to meet each student's individual needs and learning style, ensuring that they receive the tailored support necessary to excel.

Mathematics can often seem daunting, but my goal is to help students build a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. I believe that a solid foundation in the basics is crucial, and I work to ensure that students grasp fundamental principles before moving on to more complex topics. This method not only boosts their confidence but also prepares them for advanced problem-solving scenarios. I utilize a variety of teaching methods, from visual aids to interactive exercises, to cater to different learning styles and make the subject more relatable.

In my sessions, I focus on developing effective problem-solving strategies. I guide students through step-by-step processes for tackling various types of mathematical problems, helping them to analyze questions critically and approach solutions systematically. This analytical skill is invaluable, not just for exams, but for future academic pursuits and real-world applications. I encourage students to ask questions and engage in discussions, as this fosters a deeper understanding of the material.

I also recognize that exam preparation involves more than just understanding the content; it requires familiarity with the exam format and types of questions they will encounter. I provide targeted practice using past papers and mock exams, which allows students to hone their test-taking skills and time management. This practice is essential for building the resilience and confidence needed to perform well under exam conditions.

Whether you're looking for support with fundamental concepts or advanced topics, I am here to provide clear explanations and structured guidance. My lessons are designed to be engaging and interactive, ensuring that students remain motivated and focused. I believe that learning should be a positive experience, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable expressing their concerns and challenges.

Throughout my tutoring career, I have seen firsthand the transformative impact of personalized education. Many of my students have achieved outstanding results, including high grades and scholarships, thanks to the tailored support I provide. I take immense pride in their accomplishments, and my dedication to their success is unwavering.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I emphasize the importance of a growth mindset. I encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for learning and growth. This perspective not only helps them in their studies but also equips them with resilience that will serve them well in all areas of life.

If you're looking for expert tutoring that delivers outstanding results, I invite you to book a lesson today. Together, we can embark on a journey toward academic excellence in mathematics. I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential. Don't hesitate to reach out; I am here to support you every step of the way!

Student at ESCP after 3 years of preparatory class at the Lycée Henri IV in Paris (in the B/L stream, i.e. Letters and Social Sciences), I offer to accompany your children during their middle and high school years. Holder of a scientific baccalaureate and a degree in Mathematics from the Sorbonne validated in 2022 and equipped with a literary background thanks to the B/L, I am able to follow your children on very varied subjects and I want to share all the theoretical knowledge that I have been able to acquire and my taste for learning with any student in difficulty to whom I could help.

A patient, attentive teacher, I adapt to the needs of each student to help them progress as best as possible. I myself have made enormous progress in CPGE. I have gained in rigor and efficiency in 3 years and I would like to share both my working method and my rigor with my students.

Typical math courses for example:

- I start the lesson by asking the student questions to identify his main difficulties and I answer any questions he may have.

- I then suggest several standard exercises to him to then make a method sheet and identify precisely what are the steps to follow when faced with this or that type of exercise.

- Finally, I offer him more complex exercises so that he learns to cultivate his intuition in the face of a mathematical exercise.

Of course, this is only a typical process, I adapt to the needs and wishes of the student, a course is above all a dialogue. The main thing is that the student feels as comfortable as possible to ask all the questions that come to him and gain confidence!

I am in Copenhagen for an internship at the French Embassy for a few months, do not hesitate to contact me for any information.
