Portuguese Classes for beginners (Brazil) - Conversational

40 C$ /h

Are you interested in learning a new language? With this course you will learn all the basics regarding the Portuguese language. It is in a conversational style of learning, but if you would like to also learn more about writing and reading in Portuguese, arrangements can be made!

Come join me for a very relaxing and fun time, while also learning new things! :)

Bachelor thesis review and guidance - Political Science

63 C$ /h

Bachelor theses are usually the last step needed for a student to graduate. Such task is challenging and requires dedication and focus. Therefore, I offer to give you some guidance and feedback on your thesis. It is important to have a second reader who has never read your thesis before and may not be as knowledgeable in your chosen topic as it provides new insight which you may have overlooked yourself.

I have recently graduated myself, with a political science degree and international relations specialization, and have gone through this process. My thesis focused on exploring the relationship between democratic systems and voter turnout. Therefore, if you are writing your thesis on a similar research area, I can also recommend great academic literature and further feedback!

As a dedicated tutor with extensive experience in preparing students for standardized exams such as the SAT, GMAT, and SSAT, I understand the unique challenges that each of these tests presents. My approach is comprehensive and focuses on building a strong foundation in critical areas such as Mathematics, Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Skills, and Analytical Writing. Each program I develop is tailored to the specific requirements of the exam, ensuring that students are well-prepared and confident on test day.

Having a deep understanding of the test formats and question types allows me to provide personalized strategies that target each student's individual strengths and weaknesses. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and my goal is to enhance their test-taking skills while improving their time management. By fostering a supportive learning environment, I aim to boost students' confidence and empower them to achieve top scores.

My tutoring sessions incorporate a variety of effective methods, including real exam questions and timed practice tests. This hands-on approach allows students to familiarize themselves with the types of questions they will encounter, making the actual exam feel less daunting. I teach proven techniques for tackling even the most challenging problems, ensuring that students feel equipped to handle any question that comes their way.

One of the key components of my tutoring is helping students develop effective study habits. I provide guidance on creating a structured study plan that maximizes their preparation time and aligns with their personal goals. This structured approach not only keeps students on track but also helps them build a sense of accountability, which is crucial for success.

In addition to academic preparation, I also focus on the psychological aspects of test-taking. Many students experience anxiety leading up to exams, which can affect their performance. I teach relaxation techniques and mental strategies to help manage stress, allowing students to approach their exams with a calm and focused mindset. By addressing both the academic and emotional challenges of test preparation, I equip students with a well-rounded toolkit for success.

Feedback is an essential part of the learning process, and I make it a priority to provide constructive and actionable insights during our sessions. After each practice test, I conduct a thorough review of the results, highlighting areas for improvement while also acknowledging progress. This continuous feedback loop helps students understand their growth and keeps them motivated throughout their preparation.

My commitment to student success goes beyond just teaching content. I aim to inspire a love for learning and self-improvement in each of my students. Many of my former students have gone on to achieve their academic goals, securing places at prestigious universities and programs. Their success stories are a testament to the effectiveness of my tailored approach and the dedication I bring to each tutoring session.

If you're looking to master the SAT, GMAT, or SSAT with confidence, I invite you to book a session now. Together, we will develop a customized learning plan that suits your individual needs, ensuring that you are not only prepared to face the test but also equipped to excel and reach your highest potential. With my guidance and your commitment, we can achieve outstanding results. Let’s embark on this journey to success together!

My name is Emilie and I am a veterinary medicine student. I also hold a Master's degree in health technologies and have almost 10 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, including some time in a training-oriented role.

This experience has taught me to make sometimes complex concepts clearer, more structured and accessible, but also to adapt to very different learning styles. Some students need a diagram, a concrete example, to rephrase things aloud, or simply to proceed step by step.

Patient, organized, and attentive, I aim to provide a supportive environment where students can ask questions without fear of making mistakes. My goal is to help them progress, gain confidence, and acquire methods they can then use independently.

I primarily offer academic support from middle school to the final year of high school, particularly in science subjects, as well as English tutoring.
