Essay writing skills for secondary school to university level students

From 39 C$ /h

I believe that essay writing is a skill which anybody can learn to improve at, and these improvements come from learning how to structure an essay, think critically about the topic and title, and even down to the basic level of how to structure sentences.
I will tailor tuition to each student, looking at examples of their work, and taking into account their level and what they want to achieve, to assess what needs to be worked on which we can then discuss in class.
This class would be ideal for those who are in secondary school to sixth-form or at university working towards completing a qualification in an essay-based subject.

Extra information

Please let me know what qualification you are working towards (if any!), and if possible it would be great to receive an example of a recent essay you have looked at before class.

Latin language teaching for beginner and intermediates

48 C$ /h

This class is for all those who want to learn Latin, from complete beginners to intermediate level. My goal is to tailor each class to each student's needs, whether that is to prepare for GCSE or A-level exams or to help someone learn purely out of interest.
In a first class we can assess which areas you need to work on, whether that may be grammar, vocabulary or something else. Generally, I see languages as a pattern which is laid out by grammar and then filled in by vocabulary, something which we can go over and then put into practice in classes by doing translations.
We can also read Latin texts, possibly set texts for an exam if you are preparing for one, and discuss textual commentary and context.
Above all I also aim to encourage a love of Latin language and literature in all those keen to learn.

The preparation is fully tailored to your level, the date of your exam and the skills you need to strengthen.

We are working on the different challenges:
- listening comprehension;
- understanding of written texts;
- written production;
- oral production.

The goal is not only to improve your French, but also to understand what examiners expect and to learn how to respond effectively to exam instructions.

Depending on your needs, we can work on methodology, organization of ideas, argumentation, grammar, vocabulary, time management and correction of written or oral productions.

Exercises and practice topics may be offered between lessons to track your progress and identify areas that require more work.

As the exam approaches, we can also carry out simulations under conditions close to the real test, particularly for oral production.

Improve your skills to better manage your written communication: your objectives in terms of written communication may be diverse and the objective of these sessions is precisely to support you in better achieving them. So, how can we send a clear message, be impactful, create a difference and make an impact?

➤ Whether your objective is personal or professional, written communication is an activity based on techniques, tools, a method and know-how, reflecting the author's involvement in his writing.

➤ Relevant and successful written communication must always be effective and efficient, with clear, simple and impactful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Coherence between form and content.

➤ So, how can you convince and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your interlocutors relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of your message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques, taking care of both substance and form, all in a professional or personal context. For this, there are very specific techniques.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of modules supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve one's written communication.

➤ To achieve your objective and overcome the blockages encountered through concrete techniques & a targeted methodology, it is a question of:
✓decode and use practical communication tools from great authors
✓highlight your text and enhance it to arouse interest
✓create consistency between the message sent and the message received
✓adopt effective, simple, fair and engaging language
✓use sentences, phrases and expressions to be precise, simple, effective & engaging
✓write proactively and express/transmit your ideas/message clearly
✓propose a constructive solution to problems, while drawing on your own relational skills
✓enhance your potential for expression and creativity
✓connect your communication objectives (project, institution, values, ideas, demands, etc.) with the form of your expression
✓practical techniques to encourage reader engagement
✓Strengthen the structure of your communication and develop a convincing argument in order to sell your ideas and projects
✓better prepare your message and arguments; anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an attractive and convincing presentation framework; by adequately managing difficult situations
(...)

➤ In short, each session combines adapted techniques & practical exercises, so that you can put them into practice immediately, and from the first session.

THE TRAINER
➤ With training from Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher trainer has specialized and has worked for more than 18 years in the field, in Europe and North America, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support, with pedagogy and careful methodology as the watchwords.

➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES
✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Basel-Neuchâtel-Berne-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject.

✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat.

✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions.

✓ Languages: French/English.

✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 2 sessions (*2024 study).

Do you have a statistics or probability exam in BA1/BA2? I can help you review the material in a clear, structured and exam-oriented way.

I support higher education students (university and college), particularly in their first and second years of undergraduate studies, to understand important concepts, redo practical exercises, and practice with exam-style questions.

My goal is simple: to help you understand the logic behind formulas, know when to use them, recognize correct reasoning in a statement, and gain autonomy when facing exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Descriptive statistics:
mean, median, variance, standard deviation, quartiles, quantiles, coefficient of variation, box plots, histograms, graphs, interpretation of tables and data.

• Univariate and bivariate statistics:
analysis of one variable, analysis of two variables, scatter plots, covariance, correlation, regression line, coefficient of determination, interpretation of relationships between variables.

• Probabilities:
events, union, intersection, complement, conditional probabilities, independence, Bayes' theorem, probability trees, contingency tables.

• Combinatorial probabilities:
permutations, arrangements, combinations, draws with or without replacement, counting, classic exam situations.

• Random variables:
discrete and continuous variables, probability function, density function, distribution function, expectation, variance, standard deviation, variable transformation.

• Probability laws:
Bernoulli distribution, binomial distribution, normal distribution, standard normal distribution, Student's t-distribution, chi-square distribution, use of statistical tables according to your course.

• Statistical inference:
sampling, estimators, point estimation, confidence intervals, margin of error, degrees of freedom, confidence level.

• Hypothesis testing:
null hypothesis H0, alternative hypothesis H1, significance threshold, p-value, one-tailed or two-tailed test, test on a mean, test on a proportion, chi-square test, interpretation of results.

• Exam preparation:
reading statements, choosing the right method, identifying the formulas to use, typical exercises, past exams, guided corrections and problem-solving methods.

Method of working :

1. We quickly identify the chapters that are causing problems;
2. I re-explain the theory with simple examples;
3. We redo the important exercises together;
4. I will show you how to recognize good reasoning in the exam;
5. We construct a clear method that can be reused independently.

I don't just provide a correction: I explain the reasoning step by step so that you are able to redo the exercises without help.

For students retaking the exam, I also offer more intensive support: level assessment, priority identification, review of fundamentals, and practice with typical exercises and past exams. The goal is to get straight to the point and work efficiently within the time available before the exam.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I have also tutored first and second-year Bachelor's students at Solvay/ULB in mathematics, statistics, and microeconomics as part of a university tutoring program.

My professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte has also allowed me to develop a very structured approach to numbers, analysis and problem-solving.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.

Starting French from zero can feel confusing at first — especially when words seem to be pronounced nothing like they are written! This course is designed to make your first steps in French simple, practical and enjoyable.

We'll build your foundation step by step, starting with pronunciation, greetings, introductions, numbers and everyday vocabulary. You'll gradually learn basic grammar, sentence formation, common verbs, articles, reading and listening skills, and simple everyday conversations.

The classes are interactive, so you won't just listen to explanations. You'll practise speaking, answer questions, work through examples and revise what you've learned.

By the end of the course, you'll have a stronger A1and A2 foundation and be able to understand and use basic French in everyday situations.

This course is ideal for complete beginners, school students, or anyone who wants to start learning French in a comfortable and structured way.
