Translated by GoogleSee original

From 47 C$ /h

Do you want to improve your English, both spoken and written, without wasting time? I build each course around your objective: preparing for the TOEIC or IELTS, gaining fluency in speaking, writing your emails and CV in English, or preparing you for an interview or studies in English.

My background: university studies in English (Lebanese American University), a master's degree in economics and finance from HEC Paris, and research work in a professional setting. I mentor French-speaking students and young professionals, and I am familiar with the common difficulties they face (pronunciation, false cognates, sentence structures).

How it works: 1) an initial exchange to define your level and objectives; 2) a simple progression plan; 3) dynamic lessons, with adapted exercises and feedback at the end of each session.

Levels: Beginner to advanced. Online courses

About Me

Hello, my name is Sallama. I am an economist with a master's degree in economics and finance from HEC Paris and a bachelor's degree in economics from the Lebanese American University, where I studied in English. I currently work as a research consultant in a laboratory specializing in finance and development.

I grew up surrounded by several languages and cultures, which helps me understand the difficulties faced by French speakers learning English, and to correct them with concrete examples.

My lessons are structured, supportive, and results-oriented: we set a goal together, then progress step by step, with exercises tailored to your level and schedule. Write to me for an initial chat; I respond quickly.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Preparing for the SAT, GRE, or GMAT math sections and want to stop losing points on problems you actually know how to solve?
This course is built around one goal: getting you the highest possible score on test day, in the shortest time, with the least wasted effort.
I'm a State Engineer (IAV Hassan II) with a CPGE background in Mathematics and Physics — the most rigorous math preparation track in the Moroccan system. The math on these standardized tests is well within that level, which means I don't just know how to solve these problems — I know multiple ways to solve them, and I'll teach you the fastest and most reliable one for exam conditions.

What's covered — by exam:
1-SAT Math

- Heart of Algebra (linear equations, systems, inequalities)
- Problem Solving & Data Analysis (ratios, percentages, statistics)
- Passport to Advanced Math (quadratics, functions, polynomials)
- Additional Topics (geometry, trigonometry, complex numbers)
- Calculator vs. no-calculator strategy

2-GRE Quantitative Reasoning

- Arithmetic and number properties
- Algebra and coordinate geometry
- Data interpretation and statistics
- Quantitative comparison strategy
- Time management under pressure

3-GMAT Quantitative / Focus Edition

- Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency
- Data Insights section
- Elimination strategies for tricky wording
- Pacing and guessing strategy

My teaching approach:
Standardized math tests are not about being good at math — they're about recognizing patterns, avoiding traps, and managing time. I teach you both: the actual math and the test-taking strategy that separates a 650 from a 750 on the GRE, or a 680 from a 780 on the SAT.
Every session is personalized. We start with a diagnostic — I identify exactly which question types are costing you the most points — then we build sessions around fixing those specifically. No wasted time on things you already know.

Who this is for:

Students targeting top universities in the US, UK, or Europe (SAT)
Professionals applying to MBA or graduate programs (GMAT / GRE)
Anyone who feels "stuck" at a score plateau and needs a structured push
Students with strong school math who just need to learn the test format

What I offer:

Diagnostic session to assess your current level and target score gap
Personalized session plan based on your exam date and weak areas
Practice problems with detailed step-by-step breakdowns
Timed mock drills to build exam-day confidence
Available for intensive short-term prep (2–4 weeks) or longer structured programs

Students following American-style academic pathways often need very specific support. They are not only learning Mathematics, Science or Statistics; they are also preparing for systems where GPA, course grades, AP results, SAT/ACT scores and university applications can all matter at the same time. American High School courses, AP exams, SAT and ACT preparation require strong foundations, fast problem-solving, clear reasoning and regular practice with the right type of questions.
This is exactly where I help.

→ I am a Switzerland-based tutor with a strong academic background in Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and technical sciences. My education in the Swiss higher education system has shaped the way I teach: precise, structured, logical and focused on real understanding.

→ Over the years, I have taught many students from international schools, American-style school programmes, British curriculum schools and Swiss schools. Through this experience, I have become very familiar with the common difficulties students face in SAT Math, ACT Math, ACT Science, AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Physics, AP Chemistry and American High School Math and Science courses.

→ I also work with previous exam papers, official-style practice questions, AP-style exercises, SAT/ACT-style questions and topic-based material. This allows my lessons to be highly exam-focused. Students do not only learn the theory; they practice the type of questions they are likely to meet in school tests, AP exams, SAT/ACT exams and final assessments.

→ MY MAIN TEACHING FOCUS

→ I mainly support students in SAT Math, ACT Math, ACT Science, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, AP Physics, AP Chemistry and American High School Math and Science courses.

→ This includes Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, Probability, Functions, Graphs, Trigonometry, Vectors, Mechanics, Electricity, Waves, Stoichiometry, Equilibrium, Acids and Bases, Kinetics and Electrochemistry.

→ I also support students who are preparing for university entrance exams, school-specific assessments, placement tests or international university applications where strong Mathematics and Science results are important.

→ SPECIFIC SUPPORT FOR SAT, ACT, AP AND AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL COURSES

For SAT Math, I help students improve speed, accuracy and confidence. The main focus is on Algebra, functions, quadratic equations, systems of equations, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, probability and word problems. SAT Math questions often test familiar topics in unfamiliar ways, so students need strong foundations and smart exam technique. I teach students how to recognize patterns, avoid traps and solve questions efficiently under time pressure.

→ For ACT Math, I support students with the wide range of topics tested in the exam. ACT Math is fast, broad and time-sensitive, so students need both knowledge and strategy. I help students revise key areas such as algebra, geometry, functions, trigonometry, probability and statistics, while also improving timing, accuracy and decision-making during the exam.

→ For ACT Science, I focus on graph reading, table interpretation, experimental reasoning and scientific data analysis. Many students think ACT Science is mainly about memorizing Biology, Chemistry or Physics facts, but in reality it tests how quickly and accurately students can understand scientific information. I train students to read graphs, compare data, understand experiments and answer questions under time pressure.

→ For AP Calculus AB, I support students with limits, derivatives, applications of differentiation, integrals, applications of integration and basic differential equations. I help students understand the logic behind calculus, not only memorize rules. Students learn how to connect graphs, formulas, word problems and written explanations.

→ For AP Calculus BC, I cover all AP Calculus AB topics and also support students with more advanced topics such as sequences, series, convergence tests, Taylor series, parametric equations, polar functions and advanced integration ideas. AP Calculus BC requires strong algebra, clear thinking and regular exam-style practice.

→ For AP Statistics, I help students with descriptive statistics, probability, distributions, sampling, experimental design, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, regression and interpretation of results. AP Statistics is not only about calculations; students also need to explain results clearly in words. I help them write answers in the correct statistical language.

→ For AP Physics, I support students with mechanics, forces, energy, momentum, circular motion, rotation, electricity, circuits, waves and other topics depending on the exact AP Physics course. The focus is on understanding concepts, choosing the correct formula, using units properly and explaining physical reasoning clearly.

→ For AP Chemistry, I help students with stoichiometry, atomic structure, bonding, chemical reactions, thermodynamics, equilibrium, acids and bases, kinetics and electrochemistry. Students often struggle because Chemistry combines theory, formulas and multi-step calculations. I break the topic down clearly and practice exam-style questions until the method becomes understandable.

→ WHY EXPERIENCE WITH THESE EXAMS MATTERS

→ Every American-style exam and course has its own logic. SAT Math often tests simple topics in clever ways and rewards speed, accuracy and pattern recognition. ACT Math is broad and time-pressured, so students need both knowledge and fast decision-making. ACT Science is not mainly about memorizing science facts; it focuses on graphs, tables, experiments, data interpretation and scientific reasoning.

→ AP exams are different again. AP Calculus requires deep understanding of limits, derivatives, integrals and applications. AP Statistics requires careful interpretation, correct language and clear reasoning. AP Physics and AP Chemistry require students to connect concepts with calculations and explain their thinking clearly.

→ Because I have taught many students preparing for these subjects, I understand the difference between knowing the topic and being able to perform well under exam conditions. A student may understand the lesson in school, but still lose marks because the method is incomplete, the explanation is unclear, the calculation is rushed, or the question is misunderstood.

→ That is why my lessons are not random. I use a structured system: first we build the foundation, then we practice topic-based questions, and then we move towards mixed exam-style problems. This helps students become more confident, faster and more independent.

Each lesson is fully personalized according to the student's level, objectives, and needs. My method is based on a progressive and interactive approach, in order to develop both knowledge and self-confidence.

A typical lesson begins with a discussion to identify any difficulties encountered and review previous concepts. We then work on the essential points (grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening comprehension, written and oral expression) through tailored exercises and role-playing scenarios. At the end of the session, we review progress and set objectives for the next lesson.

As an engineer, I bring a rigorous, organized, and efficient work method. I favor a supportive, attentive, and results-oriented teaching approach. My goal is not only to help my students improve their grades but also to give them the tools and methods to become more independent in their learning.

My courses are aimed at middle and high school students, as well as adults wishing to learn English regardless of their level: refresher courses, academic support, preparation for tests, the brevet or the baccalaureate, as well as students wishing to strengthen their oral fluency or consolidate their English foundations.

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 :)

As soon as you book your session, don't worry about your child's homework.

Fun lessons led by educational games, to learn grammatical rules, verb conjugation and especially communication.
