About Me

Hello! My name is Arno and I have been tutoring for as long as I can remember. I am currently living in Bruges, Belgium, on my way to get my second master's degree in EU International Relations at the College of Europe. Before that, I got my Master's in European Affairs from Sciences Po Paris and a BA in World Politics (cum laude) from Leiden University. I love tutoring as a way to help other people unlock their potential. When I am not studying or tutoring, I spend most of my time in the outdoors, hiking, running, or kayaking.

Private language classes: English and Dutch for both beginners and advanced (A1-C2 CEFR)

69 C$ /h

My name is Arno and I am currently getting my master's degree at Sciences Po Paris in European Affairs. I have always loved languages. I was raised in a trilingual environment through which I learned Dutch, English, and Armenian. Being raised in this environment has changed the way I look at languages. Besides these three, I also speak Norwegian, Spanish, and French at a B2 level (CEFR) as well as Arabic at B1 level (CEFR).

I have more than 5 years of professional experience in language tutoring and know what works and what does not. I have tutored high school and college students and have taught languages to students as young as 7 and as old as 63. My most rewarding language tutoring experience was teaching Dutch to Syrian refugees. Through them, I truly understood the importance of language and how it can connect people from across the world.

My personal approach to language learning as a combination of learning how to speak quickly and truly understanding grammar. I try to integrate conversations in the target language from the first class, while at the same time teaching grammar in an accessible way. I understand that students often find grammar daunting, but with the right approach, it truly does not have to be. I do not believe in a "first learn, then apply" approach. When I teach, I want students to start engaging with the language from day one.

Whether you have been studying for years, or you are starting from scratch, I am sure that we can make you feel more confident in your abilities in no time!

IB Tutor - History, Global Politics, English (all levels)

69 C$ /h

After having finished the International Baccalaureate at a United World College, I continued getting my BA in World Politics (cum laude) and am currently getting my master's degree at Sciences Po Paris in European Affairs. For my HL classes, I received a 7 in Global Politics, a 6 in History, and a 7 in English Lang&Lit.

I started tutoring in my own neighborhood from the age of 14, but have since gained 5 years of professional tutoring experience, including by working as a college-level student assistant. My approach to learning is influenced by my own diverse background. I have studied in the Netherlands, Armenia, Norway, and Egypt; all these places have shown me what works and what doesn't. When it comes to the IB, I strongly understand how essays should be structured and what exam strategies work best to achieve the highest results.

Support in the areas of hiring:

-define your positioning (what you want to do: sector, market, function, type of commitment, ...)
- Writing and presentation of a hard-hitting CV both in form and content (how to arouse the interest of the reader and how to be invited to a job interview).
-Writing of a motivation letter (response to a job offer or spontaneous application).
- Preparation and repetition of a job interview (key questions ... to say and not to say)
- Techniques to optimize verbal and non-verbal communication
-assistance in negotiating the employment contract
-advice on searching for job vacancies

During the rehearsal of a job interview, we prepare the answers to give, the aspects not to say. I work on both the verbal and the nonverbal aspects. If desired, a video can be recorded and analyzed together.

Adapted to each case and need, the objective is support in accessing a job, from the search for departure to the signing of the contract:
- After the search and selection of relevant advertisements, establish and illustrate your transversal skills profile then create an attractive CV and write a striking cover letter highlighting your professional background
- stand out in the preparation of their interviews, from oral presentation to expression through appropriate body language. Interview simulation & video analysis filmed if necessary.
- Identify your values, promote your professional project / your assets and strengths but also work on areas for improvement in order to find new momentum in your career.

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.

I am a qualified and experienced native Spanish teacher. I teach for several years to english students and I have been teaching spanish in Germany for 1 year.

I have studied Philologie in the University in Spain

I trained as a Spanish Teacher for Foreigners in Germany.

I can speak English and German fluently, so there will be no difficulty in the teacher-student relationship.

You can get good results with me, both if you want to learn or to improve your Spanish, whatever your goal:

• To obtain a DELE diploma from any level.
• To improve your Erasmus experience.
• To improve your experience as a tourist.
• If you want to practice your Spanish regularly to maintain your current level

I teach for all levels, grammar or conversation with personalized methodology to the age, mother language and previous studies of the student.

I take as a point of reference the level and the goal that the student wants to achieve in order to apply one or another method.

In case of group lessons, the price can be different.

⭐️ ⭐️ What my Class is like ⭐️ ⭐️

• First class I will have a conversation about what YOU need to learn better. Every class is designed differently for different students.
• I take notes about our conversation: I make notes about your:
+Pronunciation
+Grammar 📝
+Fluency/ Speaking speed 🗣️
+Listening 👂
++ Confidence using English 😎
•I have a variety of books and materials FREE of charge available to my students.

Most of my classes run longer than 1 hour or 1.5 hours and I’m fine with teaching longer!

If you need to start from the beginning, improve your English for conversation, pass a visa interview for an English speaking country, improve or pass IELTS or TOEIC tests, or learn English for business or pleasure- I have over a decade of experience.

🌟” Why choose Mr. Rhett?”
I always loved learning languages! I’ve studied German, Latin, Spanish, and Vietnamese- I understand how HARD IT IS TO LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE! Yes, it’s hard! But I’ve been using a dynamic method to make learning FUN 🤩.

•I’ve been teaching English since volunteering in high school teaching immigrants English as a second language.
• Every student has a different way of learning and different needs and I’ve mastered how to identify a student’s needs.
• I use don’t just use a book and say “repeat!”like in school that makes even the best student get bored 🥱.
• Depending on how a student learns: I use videos and audio of real world English speaking situations.
• I’ve taught in Vietnam 🇻🇳 for 10 years in English centers, international schools, visa interview preparation, and TOEIC/IELTS prep classes. This has showed me the importance of learning how each student learn is different. And this experience has made me a very dynamic tutor with very satisfied students! 🧑🏻‍🎓 👨🏻‍🎓 👩🏻‍🎓

I realized the best way to teach is so my students feel relaxed and comfortable so it doesn’t feel like a class.

As an American, I have a very clear accent. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations with a minor in teaching from Pennsylvania State University as well as a TESOL (international teaching certificate) from Oxford. I have Vietnamese residency.

I spend a lot of time using different materials (mock tests, pronunciation correction plans, as well as quizzes to track progress). I want my students do well but have fun while doing so! 😃

If a student ever wants to do something differently than it’s changed immediately.
Learning is a journey and I will be your guide to reach your destination.

I invite you to discuss your objectives and challenges in order to develop a teaching method and techniques that meet your expectations. The course is based on dialogue and mutual trust: it depends on the subject matter being taught, but above all on your desires and goals.
For the past fifteen years, I have taught philosophy, history and political science in various contexts: at university, in high school, in adult education programs, and by giving private lessons to French speakers and non-French speakers.

In the three disciplines offered, my courses aim to enable you to acquire the essential knowledge and methods, and to develop your skills in an individualized way.

I would be happy to support you in preparing for the Baccalaureate, in philosophy and in HGGSP.

Develop a deeper understanding of U.S. history, world history, government, and civics through personalized one-on-one tutoring.

I work with middle school, high school, and college students who need help with coursework, exams, essays, presentations, or simply understanding challenging historical and political concepts. Lessons are tailored to the student's curriculum, level, learning style, and goals.

Rather than focusing only on memorizing names and dates, I help students understand the bigger picture: Why did events happen? What were their consequences? How are political, economic, cultural, and technological developments connected? And how does history help us understand the world today?

Topics can include U.S. history, world history, European and Asian history, U.S. government and the Constitution, civics, comparative government, international affairs, and related social studies subjects.

Before transitioning into education, I spent 16 years as a U.S. Foreign Service Officer, living and working in Asia, Africa, and Washington, D.C. I have also taught in the United States and abroad, served as a graduate teaching assistant at American University, and taught undergraduate students at the University of Maryland. I am currently completing Virginia's EducateVA Career Switcher Program as I transition into education.

My goal is not simply to help students improve their grades, but to help them become more confident learners who can analyze evidence, recognize connections, and explain historical and political ideas clearly.

Are you hoping to land an interview at a big American company, but you're worried about xenophobia? Well I was born on a farm in Iowa and even I'm afraid of xenophobia from my own countrymen. American culture has shifted recently and they can hear a foreigner a mile away; they also have no idea where your country is. If you want to apply for one of those huge American salaries, or if you just want to stop getting interrogated by your coworkers about the magical land you hail from, I'll teach you a flatter accent and some American ways of speaking.

We'll have a conversation every lesson about whatever you like, with pauses every time a non-American accent comes through to discuss speech techniques, slang terms, and nonverbal body language. How you hold yourself and the tone of your speech is incredibly important in American culture, and we'll work together on developing your professional language.

Hi, I’m Ziad. I’m an English tutor with more than 1,500 one-to-one online lessons with students and professionals from different countries.
My lessons are built around what you actually need English for. We can work on speaking and fluency, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, Business English, job interviews, meetings, presentations, or everyday communication.
I don’t believe in giving every student the same lesson. We first identify what is holding you back, then focus on the areas that will make the biggest difference. You’ll get plenty of speaking practice, clear explanations, useful corrections, and direct feedback on how to sound more natural and confident.
I also have a background in Software Engineering and Management Information Systems, so I especially enjoy working with university students, professionals, and people working in business or technology.
Whether you’re preparing for an interview, improving your English for work or university, or simply want to speak more comfortably, I’ll adapt the lessons to your level, goals, and learning style.

When I interviewed with Optiver, Flow Traders, DRW, Maven Securities and All Options, I prepared seriously. At my desk I could solve the probability questions and the mental maths without much trouble. In the real interview, with someone watching and the clock running, I got nervous and made mistakes I normally wouldn't. Looking back, what I needed wasn't more theory. I needed practice under real conditions, with someone telling me exactly where I went wrong.

That's what these sessions are for.

Each session is a mock interview in the style used by the major market making firms, followed by detailed feedback. We work on:

Mental maths under time pressure
Probability and expected value questions
Market making games: quoting a two-sided market, updating as new information arrives, managing your position
Betting and decision games
Estimation questions
Explaining your reasoning out loud, clearly and calmly
Behavioural questions like "why trading?" and "why this firm?"

How a session works

A short warm-up, then a mock interview at real pace. After that we go through it together: where you lost time, where your reasoning wasn't clear, how you handled pressure, and what to drill before the next session. You leave with a concrete list of things to work on, not just a score.

If you're earlier in your preparation, we can start with the foundations and build up to full mocks.

Who it's for

Students and recent graduates applying for trader and trading internship roles at market making and prop trading firms.
