About Me

When it comes to tutoring, I believe that it is critical that the sessions go beyond simply a transaction of information from the tutor to the student. The development of critical thinking, ability to analyze a text and place it in a particular context, effective writing as well as continuous engagement with the respective study material are all fundamental elements that every high school student should have in his or her toolkit. As a result, my approach does not only exclusively focus on a mere surface-level understanding of the material but also developing the necessary skills to successfully use the knowledge gained.

In addition, I also attempt to make the tutoring sessions as intellectually stimulating as possible and interesting for the student. Tutoring is often conceptualized as simply a means to improve in a particular subject that the student is weak at. While that is the primary purpose, I have found out that in my one year experience of tutoring, there is a lot more to be gained from. For me being a tutor means instilling a passion for students for learning and encourage them to harvest a willingness to overcome challenges.

As someone who has been through multiple educational systems, the need for good tutors is extremely high because they can make that difference between success and failure in school, and I consider myself someone who wants to make that difference.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

My name is Nicolas, and I'm an English teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I've spoken English since I was a teenager and have continued to practice it through my many travels. My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

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 considerably.

My courses are custom-built to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each individual.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

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

Feel free to contact me for more information.

With pleasure :)

You understand English, but the words do not come when you have to speak? I'm Ben, a native English teacher, CELTA qualified (over 10 years of experience, IELTS, TEFL). I built my own AI coaching assistant: it spots what holds your speaking back and creates exercises from your own mistakes, so that you speak with confidence in a fraction of the time of a regular course.

Hello, I'm Ben, a native English teacher, CELTA qualified, with over 10 years of experience (IELTS, TEFL). I have taught children, teenagers and adults, online and in person, in France, Turkey and Australia, and online with students in China and all over the world.

Most lessons show you what went wrong during the lesson. Mine tell you what to fix next, and give you the practice to fix it.

I teach because I love learning languages and I love showing people that they can learn them far more easily than they think. Traditional methods make it hard, but learning can be easy, enjoyable, interesting, inspiring and faster than you expect. I taught myself French, Spanish and Turkish, and I can show you how to do the same.

The students I like to work with are genuinely motivated to improve and ready to put in 15 minutes every day, following a clear, simple and effective system, to improve in a few weeks, not a few years.

I use the latest technology alongside proven methods. I built my own AI coaching assistant for language learning (AI Coaching Assistant Agent for Language Training): it analyses your speaking to pinpoint exactly what holds your English back, then creates exercises for your particular needs. Together we build your full language profile (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency) and put a system of regular practice in place, so that you speak fluently in a fraction of the time of a regular course.

How it works:

Your language profile. At the start, I record and analyse your speaking, using my AI assistant and my teacher's ear. This shows your pronunciation habits, your recurring grammar errors, the breadth of your vocabulary and your fluency, so that we work on what matters for you rather than on a generic syllabus.

Exercises made for you. My assistant and I create exercises from your own mistakes and your own goals: a job interview, IELTS, meetings or everyday conversation. You never practise what you already know.

A routine that sticks. We set up regular practice between lessons, short and realistic, with a new analysis to measure your progress. This is what shortens the road to fluency, because most of the learning happens between lessons.

First lesson: we assess your level, clarify your goals and start your language profile. You leave with a practical plan built around how you learn best. Whether it is for work, study, travel or pleasure, book your first lesson.
