I specialise in Wittgenstein later philosophy and in Ordinary Language Philosophy.

Hello, my name is Briani! I'm originally from New York but currently living in Paris, where I'm pursuing my Masters at Sciences Po. I've mentored a dozen students through the U.S. college admissions process, helping them gain admission to schools like MIT, UPenn, Rice, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, and the University of Chicago, to name a few. I also worked in the undergraduate admissions office at Columbia for a year as an undergraduate student.

I'm extremely passionate about essay writing and wanting my students to feel like their personal statement is the most authentic story they tell. I provide a thoughtful, personalized, and encouraging approach, challenging students to bring their very best. We will brainstorm ideas for your personal statement, work on drafts with specific, line-by-line feedback where applicable, and also address supplementary essays.

Whether we are starting from scratch or you'd like feedback or advice on how to navigate the college admissions process, I'll take my time and care to make sure all the information I have is clear, accessible, and helpful for you.

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.

As a doctoral student in comparative literature at the University of Montreal, I offer personalized support in French writing aimed primarily at students and adults wishing to improve their writing.
The sessions may focus on structuring a text, formulating a problem, organizing ideas, clarity of argumentation, syntax, vocabulary, reformulation, or correcting recurring errors.
For students in literature and humanities, I can also support the methodological work related to the dissertation, commentary, text analysis, the construction of a problem and the development of a plan.
The work is based on your own texts, your difficulties, and your goals. The idea is to understand what can be improved, to develop reusable methods, and to progress toward clearer, more precise, and more independent writing. In most cases, significant progress can already be observed after two to three sessions.
This support is also suitable for people whose native language is not French and who wish to gain fluency in their academic or professional writing.
