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 am a state-certified translator and have been preparing students for the German Abitur (university entrance exam) for years, achieving targeted and successful results. I know the exam requirements inside and out – text analysis, discussion, characterization, knowledge of historical periods, and the oral exam – and I will show you how to complete the tasks in a structured and high-scoring manner under time pressure.

The lessons are completely individualized: We specifically address your knowledge gaps, practice the most important command words, and build the exam confidence you need. Everything takes place online and is precisely tailored to your level and goals – whether you're preparing for written exams, oral exams, or the entire Abitur (university entrance qualification).

Hi! If physics is giving you a hard time and you are preparing for your GCSE or IGCSE exams under AQA, Edexcel, or OCR boards, I am here to help you take things from scratch and build complete confidence.
Here is how we go through the entire learning journey together:

Starting from the Basics: When we begin a new topic—whether it is forces, electricity, waves, or energy—we don't just jump into memorizing definitions. We start right from the very basics, breaking down what the concept actually means using simple, real-world logic.

Interactive Visual Learning: During our online session, we work on a shared digital whiteboard. I draw clean diagrams, circuit layouts, and ray optics step by step right in front of you so you can clearly visualize what is happening instead of just imagining it from a book.

Tackling Numericals: Physics formulas and calculations scare many students. We practice numerical problems slowly, learning how to rearrange formulas, substitute values correctly, and check units step by step until solving them becomes second nature.

Exam & Past Paper Practice: Once we finish a chapter, we immediately move to exam-style questions and past papers. We review how examiners mark answers, how to phraseexplanations properly, and how to manage time so you feel fully prepared and calm on your actual exam day.

Drop me a message anytime, and let's talk about which topics you want us to start working on together!

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!
