About Me

I am a graduating masters student completing the Human Geography and Urban Studies program at the London School of Economics. As a published writer I have a background in journalism, academic, investigative, and creative writing. With an academic background in human geography as well as anthropology I am well equipped to support students in english, geography, and history. I also have an undergraduate degree in French Studies and spent a semester interning at the non-profit organization SOS Racisme in Paris, France.

One on one tutoring and teacher attention has been an essential component of my academic journey. My own struggles have inspired my approach to tutoring as I use a scaffolding approach to distill larger concepts into more manageable pieces. I am particularly influenced by my high school's pedagogy to support students to "learn how to think"; to support students in finding their own unique ways of approaching a subject and to foster critical thinking skills.

Education

I received distinction from the London School of Economics's Msc Human Geography and Urban studies program. Before that I attended Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT USA where I earned an honors degree in Anthropology & French Studies (GPA: 3.54).

Conceptual Math for Struggling Young Learners Years K-5

46 C$ /h

This class is designed for students from kindergarten through year 5 who find the fundamentals of math difficult to understand. Around year two, students begin to make the jump from learning to count to actually making numbers. This course will help students navigate this jump as we will understand how numbers are composed and how they grow. We will identify patterns, breaking numbers apart and reassembling them in new configurations. This course is designed to slow down the learning process and use play to understand the inner-workings of math. Conceptual math moves away from memorization and instead engages the ideas behind addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division so that the student can forge and deeper and longer lasting connection to arithmetic.

May 2026: In these neuro-divergent times, the binary division of "one language or two" in bilinguals is perhaps due some contestation, which students are capable of providing. I have always found bilingual production models (and the ubiquitous Powerpoint slide) that university teachers provide a hindrance because of their lack of explicitness and discussion - they are just not relatable as presented nor do they provide much information or examples for monolingual students.

Code-switching, a by-product of bilingualism, is now a term that is even found in minority-ethnic neighbourhood grafitti ("can white people code-switch" a found example). Please note that this is a linguistic term, used for switching between two languages, and not between local or social varieties of English.

My personal position is that there is no such thing as bilingualism: there is always a language that suffers attrition, and one language that prevails, mostly because of its prestigious standing over the other language. On the other hand, a child exposed to more than one language cannot be truly monolingual.

For this course (very popular at universities around Europe both at undergraduate and postgraduate level) we shall go through the terms used to discuss bilingualism, in detail, and then discuss, with the help of published books and articles, who can be considered bilingual (or are we all, one other language lying dormant?). Can bilingualism be defined by the speaker, instead of the "community"? Can it be imposed by the State? Does a bilingual brain function in the same manner as a monolingual brain? These are research questions that emerge as dissertation or thesis topics both at undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

The type of course I teach aims at clarifying the difficulties related to the comprehension and production of philosophical texts. "How should I approach this philosophical problem or text? "In what philosophical and historical context does this issue/problem fit?" "Which texts should I read?" "How should I read them?""How should I organise the information to communicate philosophical ideas?" are some of the questions I can help you solve. I specialise in Wittgenstein later philosophy and in Ordinary Language Philosophy.

Experienced lawyer, legal services provider, and private law researcher at the PhD level, Faculty of Legal, Economic and Social Sciences, Cadi Ayyad University, Marrakech.
Hello, dear learner. Meet your legal professional. I am currently a practicing lawyer, a PhD candidate, a skilled writer, and an online researcher—I deliver exactly what I promise. Legal practice, academic research, and writing have been my passions since the early years of my legal career, and through learning and experience, I have honed my skills in these areas. Furthermore, I am currently pursuing a PhD, which I believe will further enhance my expertise. Feel free to entrust me with your task and expect the best from me. Thank you in advance, and stay safe.
In this lesson, I will guide you through the process of conducting legal research, legal review, and writing legal documents.

- Legal Research: The teacher will explain how to conduct legal research, which is a crucial skill for anyone working in the legal field. This includes understanding how to use legal databases, how to find and interpret laws, regulations, and case law, and how to keep up with the latest legal developments. The teacher will also cover how to analyze legal issues and apply the law to specific scenarios.

- Legal Writing: The teacher will then move on to legal writing, which is another essential skill for legal professionals. This includes learning how to write various legal documents such as briefs, memos, contracts, and legal opinions. The teacher will give you tips on how to write clearly and persuasively, how to organize your arguments, and how to cite legal sources correctly.

- Practical exercises: Throughout the lesson, the teacher will provide practical exercises to help you apply what you have learned. This may include researching a specific legal issue or drafting a legal document.
- Feedback and improvement: The tutor will give you feedback on your work, helping you improve your legal research and writing skills. They will point out any areas of weakness and make suggestions for improvement.
Reviewing legal materials: This involves presenting a summary of each article and attempting to explain it simply by using legal texts, judicial and jurisprudential trends, especially the foundational texts relied upon in the study of legal materials.

This lesson is designed for anyone interested in law, whether you are a law student, a legal professional looking to improve their skills, or someone considering a career in law. It provides a solid foundation in legal research and writing, two of the most important skills for any legal professional.

This course provides support with academic writing and presenting. It could take two different formats.

Option 1: general guidance in academic writing and presenting. This could be helpful if you have recently entered or are about to enter a higher education degree. In this case, I would provide the material, such as example essays/presentations that we can work with. In addition, I would provide you with resources that would support you throughout your academic journey.

Option 2: editorial support for your current academic work. This option could be helpful if you need support with your existing academic work. In this case, you, as a student, would provide the material, such as an in-progress research paper or presentation.

In both cases, depending on your needs or interests, the course would focus on covering the key aspects of academic writing and presenting. I consider these aspects to include rhetorical patterns or strategies, syntax, formatting, and style. In this way, my support and advice are limited to effective communication of your work and do not concern its content.

Hello! I’m a law tutor who specialises in Edexcel International A-Level Law — and my goal is to help you truly understand the subject, not just pass the exam. To do that, I bring more than a textbook: I’m also a practicing lawyer with experience in courts, consulting, and private client work. During my studies, I have also taken part in international law competitions, academic conferences, and published legal articles. I often draw on real cases and examples from my own legal practice, so abstract rules become concrete and memorable. At the same time, I’m completing my law degree at a leading Russian university, which keeps me closely connected to modern academic standards and exam expectations.

What I bring to our lessons is the ability to show how legal rules work in real life. I’ve worked in courts and advised businesses, and I use those experiences to make Edexcel topics like negligence, contract formation, or human rights feel tangible rather than abstract.

A big advantage of my background is that I’m equally comfortable in both the Romano-Germanic (continental) legal tradition — including its public law and private law dimensions — and the common law system. I know from experience how confusing it can be to switch between these two ways of thinking, and I help students build bridges between them. For Edexcel IAL, which is rooted in English common law but studied by students from all over the world, this dual perspective is incredibly valuable. I can explain not just what the law is, but why it developed that way and how it compares to other legal families.

How I Teach
My lessons are structured around the Edexcel specification, but I adapt them to each student’s level and goals. We work on:
• Solving problem questions using clear legal reasoning (IRAC and beyond);
• Writing high-scoring essays that actually answer the question;
• Evaluation skills — the difference between a B and an A*;
• Exam technique and time management under pressure.

I don’t believe in endless memorization. I want you to understand the logic of the law, so you can apply it to any scenario the exam throws at you.

I specialise in supporting non-Finnish speakers in learning school academia in Finland. I can teach in Finnish or English. I am qualified in biology and health education up to upper secondary (lukio) level but am also able to help with other subjects such as math, geography and history in primary and secondary education.

It is important to master the basic skills of reading and writing. Reading comprehension and the ability to express one's understanding orally and in writing are central to studying.
