Monica was privately educated at Wimbledon High School GPDST before gaining a 2 (i) Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature at the University of Hull, followed by a post-graduate degree in Law from the College of Law. This has given her a background in academic rigour and discipline that she is able to pass on to her students.After qualifying as a solicitor, Monica practised international shipping law for seven years which involved considerable global travel. She has also worked as a banker and international PA, and in the theatre as an actress and director, which has provided her with a number of different skills and experiences that she can draw on when tutoring children.

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacherI 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 perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics.
I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

Tutoring in English, American History, Public Speaking, (Early ages- all subjects)I am going to USF this summer and have decided to share some tips and tricks in presenting and tutor early-age students and middle-high school students in the subjects I excelled at in high school and college (I was dual enrolled).

AS & A-level psychology tutoring for year 11 and 12 studentsA Level Psychology can be a lot — loads of studies, tricky terms, and essays that need to hit specific points to score. It’s not just about knowing the content, it’s about knowing how to use it.
I did my AS & A Levels in 2023, and I know how it feels. Understanding the material is one thing, but turning that into marks is a whole different challenge.
In our sessions, we’ll cover the full syllabus: content, learning outcomes, past papers, and what examiners want to see. Since it’s one-on-one, we can focus on whatever you’re finding most difficult, or just sharpen your overall exam technique. I’m a big believer in “practice makes perfect,” so that’ll be a big part of what we do.
If you're aiming for a great grade and want a bit of the stress taken off your plate, I’ve got you.

English Lessons for all ages and levels using google meetI am currently a university student in the Netherlands and am keen to offer English tutoring for all ages and proficiency levels online! I would love to help beginners achieve their English goals and assist advanced speakers in perfecting their academic writing skills.
A little bit about my background: I took the English Language and Literature course as part of the International Baccalaureate (IB), through which I developed strong skills in analyzing both visual and literary works. Additionally, I gained solid academic writing skills not only during the IB but also at university. I also have experience tutoring in the past, specifically helping students improve their speaking and comprehension abilities, which I hope to continue to do!

Tunisian Arabic, culture and civilization for everyoneThis class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.
I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.
