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.

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 :)

I offer online math tutoring for students in Grades 6 to 10 (covering Middle School Math, local Matric Math, and GCSE/IGCSE Math).

Math can sometimes feel like a puzzle with too many confusing rules, but once the basic steps are clear, it becomes much easier. Here is how we work together during our sessions:

Breaking down difficult topics like algebra, geometry, and fractions into simple, easy-to-follow steps.

Solving homework problems together and clearing up any confusions on the spot.

Practicing past board papers and school test questions so you feel completely confident before your exams.

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 :)

Never learned French before? Or have you forgotten most of what you learned at school? In this package, you will lay a solid foundation step by step. You don't need to know anything: we really start from scratch. After this package, you will be able to introduce yourself, order on a French terrace, talk about your family, and make an appointment. You will hold simple conversations about everyday topics, and you will understand the French when they speak calmly and clearly.

This is how I work

My lessons are built on what research says about effectively learning a language:

- Speak from the first lesson. You say your first French sentences as early as lesson 1.
Pronunciation from day 1. Every lesson covers a few sound rules, such as nasal sounds, the French r, and the liaison. This way, you build good habits right away.
- Useful sentences instead of individual words. You learn combinations that the French actually use, such as Je voudrais... and Tu es libre samedi?
- Quiz yourself instead of rereading. Every lesson contains exercises without cheat sheets; this way, the material sticks better.
- Smart repetition. Each lesson begins with a brief review of the previous lessons, and you receive a review schedule.

I explain everything in Dutch so that you never get stuck. As you progress, we use more and more French.

What you learn

- Greeting, introducing yourself and saying goodbye
- Tell us where you come from, where you live, and which languages you speak
- Ordering and paying in a cafe or restaurant
- Talking about your family and stating your age
- Telling time, the days of the week and making appointments
- Count to 60 and understand prices
- The most important French sounds and pronunciation rules
- Basic grammar such as tu and vous, un and une, mon, ma and mes, and the verbs être and avoir

What you get per lesson

- Key sentences with pronunciation aid and Dutch translation
- Dialogues from real French life, with translation
- Exercises with answers
- A revision schedule for between classes
- Cultural tips, so you also know what it's really like in France

For whom?

For anyone who wants to learn French for a holiday, a move to France, contact with French family or neighbors, or simply because you have always wanted to. Adults and young people are welcome.

Level: absolute beginner to A1
Duration per lesson: 60 minutes
Lesson format: online via webcam
Language of explanation: Dutch, with increasing French

Unsure about your level? Send me a message, and we'll see together where the best place for you to start.

See you soon!
