English is falsely presented as an easy language, especially by French speakers. This is a serious mistake! While French is often difficult because of the many grammatical exceptions, particularly regarding spelling, English is endowed with immense complexity in terms of its sounds. Whereas the French speaker complains about itchy eyes, the English speaker will have difficulty hearing you, and no, it's not snobbery; their ear has been educated in a more subtle way. The greatest difficulties in English come from its chaotic sounds, which at first seem absurd or even useless, while they are proof of the many influences and transformations of this language, which has become the de facto lingua franca almost everywhere on the planet. To simplify, English is the result of a Germanic invasion of Celtic lands, Latinized by Vikings speaking Old French from Normandy. The syntax is originally Germanic, but the auxiliary verb do is Celtic, and more than half of its vocabulary is Latin or French! In short, English is much more complex and subtle than it seems, and it's not for nothing that most French speakers pronounce it badly!

About Me
Hello, my name is Laurent and I gave my first private lesson in 2003. In 2012 I gave my first online course and since 2016 I've been working exclusively online. It was also in 2016 that I discovered the links that can be made between natural languages (French, English, Spanish, Russian, etc.) and formal languages (maths, programming, etc.). Thanks to this dual approach, I've been able to help many students on several continents and of all ages. So why not you?
Education
My most recent degree dates from 2015 at the University of Paris-Est Créteil when I was a maths teacher at secondary school in the Paris region; it was a master's degree in teaching.
Before that I did a master's degree in mathematical engineering for life sciences at Paris Descartes University.
And before that I did a master's degree in fundamental mathematics at the University of Provence.

Mathematics is fascinating because it has applications in all areas of human activity, as well as in the observation and study of natural phenomena. As Galileo said, the book of natural laws is written in mathematical language. And yet, all too often, they are taught in an uninviting way, by rote recitation rather than by trying to arouse the learner's (natural) curiosity. In their earliest childhood, all human beings went through the ‘why’ phase. This phase proves our natural curiosity and our desire to understand how the world around us works. That's what maths is all about: curiosity and a taste for trying to understand how systems work. Whether it's numerical or geometric systems, or the information systems we use every day. Every prompt or query you type in your favourite language model (whether American, Chinese or European) is automatically transformed into a mathematical statistical calculation to be processed by artificial intelligence. In short, maths is everywhere, so we might as well rediscover a taste for natural curiosity, so that we can get to grips with it and understand its usefulness.
