About Me

My enthusiasm for teaching started at a young age. I was a curious kid who had many personal projects on the go. I even ran an after school Hogwarts program where I led potion making classes from my mum’s bathroom. I loved filling my brain with random facts and had a natural way of explaining them in ways that captured people’s attention. As I grew older, I realized that my enthusiasm for learning was contagious. To share my passion with others, I decided to become an educator.

Throughout my teaching career, I have been on a mission to transform education systems and pedagogical practices with the goal of lending students the competencies they need to survive and thrive in an ever-changing global world. I have never considered myself a ¨teacher¨ but rather a mentor. My goal as an educator has always been to inspire, to guide, to coach, to support, and to care for my students. I strive to create environments where students want to learn rather than have to learn. I want them to own their learning, to be self-directed learners who explore their talents, take risks, think for themselves, and tackle projects of their own.

After a few years as a classroom teacher, I started questioning our education system and my role in it. I loved the energy of the classroom, but I knew I had big ideas and strategies that would allow for more students to be autonomous and have opportunities to explore their curiosities than just those of my classroom.

When the opportunity presented itself, I decided to leave the classroom and become an Instructional Coach. For the last 4 years, I have been on a mission to support teachers in empowering our students to be agents of their learning. I do this by collaborating with educators to design student experiences that are inquiry-based and project based.

Within that time, I chose to uproot my life and move from Canada to Spain with the goal of taking my vision further from home. Before that, I lived in Uganda and had the pleasure of visiting local schools, gaining an understanding of the enduring legacies of inequity in education that colonialism and the Scramble for Africa have left behind. My long term goal is to assist in decolonising education systems in the global south with the objective of providing equitable access to quality education for all children.

Native English Teacher available for adults and K-12 students (BA, BEd, MEd)

68 C$ /h

I am a native English speaker from Vancouver, Canada and am also fluent in French and have a beginner understanding of Spanish.
I currently work as an Instructional Coach at a local International School here in Barcelona.

In the past, I have taught online adult English classes for Education First and I have also worked with children who are refugees in both Uganda and Canada. My role was a combination of accustoming newcomers to their new country and providing English language learning services.

For the last 5 years, I have worked in the field of GIfted and Talented Education. Three years ago, I left the classroom to pursue my passion for training teachers in innovative and changing pedagogical practices.

Please contact me if you are interested in having a conversation about your needs for you or your child's English language learning journey.

As you know, speaking English is essential — especially when you’re abroad and don’t speak the local language. Whether you're starting from the basics or want to improve your fluency, I’m here to help you every step of the way!

I am an experienced French teacher who also teaches English, Armenian, and Russian. In my lessons, I focus on grammar while placing a strong emphasis on speaking and building confidence in real communication.

I’m known for being very patient, kind, and supportive, always creating a positive environment where my students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.

Classes are online .
Let’s start your language journey together — I look forward to meeting you, my lovely students! 🌟

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.

I’m passionate about guiding each student along their path and providing them with the tools they need to feel confident using Spanish in real contexts.

Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 sessions. (study 2020)

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne.

But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: chat notes that can be read later).
In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place in a very optimal way and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours.

Hi! I'm Emma, I was born in Luxembourg and have been living in Amsterdam for 3 years now and still going.
Growing up in Luxembourg has given me the privilege to learn 6 languages, it has brought me so much fun and motivation to learn new languages. I am currently learning dutch (self-taught).
In high school I specialised in languages and literature (French, German, Spanish and English), and in University I got to delve into a very academic English.

I have had experience in tutoring before, and I want to continue doing it because I believe with patience, kindness and adding a little fun in the tutoring sessions, learning a language is far from traumatising than what most people think haha!
During my first session I would like to get to know the person and see if we can set a goal together on how we will proceed with the tutoring.

When it comes to children, I basically babysitted most of my life (as a teen and during my studies in the university), children from ages 4 to 12, so I to get along with children well and I have also found several techniques to help with homework and teach a language. Specially with children whom I spoke to in their mother tongue that is not English or Dutch but French for example, as requested by the parents.

My classes are available in Portuguese, German, French, Spanish and English. As I said I am learning dutch, so I could try my best to also communicate in dutch which would help me a lot as well :)

Learning can actually be fun!

As an experienced tutor, I support you in German, mathematics, English, business studies, economics, and other subjects. Whether it's homework, exam preparation, or understanding course content: together we'll work to achieve your goals.

Besides subject-matter expertise, I also focus on how you learn. In learning coaching, we'll work together to discover which learning strategies suit you best.

With empathy and a good dose of humor, I'll help you exactly where you need it!
