Student of Scientific Terminal offers help for school work in French during this particular period. My goal is to be as attentive as possible to your expectations and I will be completely able to adapt.
I benefit from a great experience and have already been able to support many pupils of all ages (CE1, CM2, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd) whether it is for a particular subject or for more general help or simply to help motivation and confidence of the young person. I am also used to helping the students in my class in their understanding.
I have always appreciated French and literature a lot and obtained excellent marks in this subject in the baccalaureate last year (19 oral and 20 written).
It can also take the form of learning French as a foreign language. Having learned four foreign languages myself, I am passionate about this objective and will take great pleasure in helping you achieve it.
Feel free to contact me for more information !

Opening a school is one of my biggest ambitions,

When I was younger I was a curious student, and uncomfortable with the school system. Of those whose abilities are praised and who are sorry for the lack of discipline.
So I learned to learn by myself, and found myself to be a form of self-taught who persevered in validating diplomas with flying colors, and not to deprive myself of doing something else.

In short, I learned to learn and trust myself while being demanding with myself, I am fortunate to know how to tame my brain so that knowledge is a desire, not a chore. You never learn better than when you like it, when you find it attractive.

So this is what I want to give, confidence, keys, desire and results.
We are here to succeed.

Have you dreamt of reading Shakespeare and making sense of his words ? Did you know that some Shakespearian plays are easier to tackle than others ? In this class we will be looking at one of Shakespeare's fantasy comedies or one of his tragedies. We will read the play together and discuss the usage of words, as well as its historical contexts. We will study the most important passages in the way they have influenced world culture. I encourage my students to memorise these passages by heart, a gratifying experience.

Currently in dual History-Spanish license in Sorbonne, I offer support or advanced courses in Spanish. These courses can concern the purely linguistic aspect as well as the literary aspect or even civilization courses if the student is interested.
Native Spanish, I master this Language at C2 level and am very close to this culture.
I had my bac S mention Very good, and my passage in CPGE B / L in Nancy allowed me to develop a great capacity for work and widened my knowledge.
Dynamic and interested, I will be able to transmit this taste to make learning easier and effective.

Hello!!! I would be thrilled to have you for student. We offer Spanish and Italian lessons at a native level and always make sure to keep a high-quality learning. Do you need a last minute lesson to prepare you for an examination? Do you wish to improve your language level rapidly and efficiently? Are you moving soon to Spain or Italy ? Do you need to prepare yourself for an interview? Well, you have chosen the right teacher! :-) I can make you discover the Spanish/Italian culture through the lessons and make sure that you will be able to speak properly Spanish/Italian once in Spain/Italy (or who knows Brazil... ;-) ).

* Students taking their IB/ GCSEs/ A-Levels or other exams can be guaranteed to get the top grades (but you also need to do your homework and revise your notes ;-) ). I can also help students at the university in business, economics...

* Students who are willing to learn Spanish/Italian for fun, let's do it! I can make the lessons fun for you and we can talk about many subjects.

You have got a question? I'm waiting for you to send me a message. No questions? You can directly book your first lesson and I'll do my best to give you your desired time slot. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Associate professor of philosophy, I have solid knowledge and solid experience of teaching within the National Education.

My classes are centered on literature, which are subjects that I really like, which I am keen to teach because they are useful for succeeding in life, for living well.

You will learn a lot of things, you will clarify a lot of things, you will discover or develop your pleasure of reading and thinking freely.

You will see how to approach and resolve problems that seem huge or simply incomprehensible to you.

There are no problems, there are only solutions!
So see you soon !

A course to learn Spanish based on documents from Hispanic and Latin American culture (films, music, literature, comics). A dynamic course, at your own pace. Immerse yourself in the world of Spanish: its culture, its stories, its musical richness.

As the year draws to a close, exams are fast approaching, and I know how stressful these times can be if you don't have the right study methods or if you lack the necessary knowledge. Therefore, as a student pursuing a double degree in History and Political Science at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, I offer private tutoring in the following subjects: History, French, the History-Geography-Geopolitics-Political Science (HGGSP) specialization, and the Humanities, Literature, and Philosophy (HLP) specialization. I myself achieved scores of 18.5, 9, and 17 in these subjects on the French Baccalaureate exam. Please feel free to contact me for more information.

A writer with a degree in Greek philology and literature, I teach ancient and modern Greek as well as creative writing. I am pursuing a doctorate in Modern Greek literature (UoA).

I am a philologist, poet, and singer with a deep love for France and its culture. I want to offer my students the opportunity to discover Greece through its music and literature, from a timeless perspective. My course emphasizes Greek heritage and culture, combining learning with enjoyment.

With extensive experience, I teach Greek using songs, poems, games, and texts to make the lessons more engaging and enjoyable. I insist that we speak Greek from the very first lesson!
Depending on each student's objectives, I ensure that they learn useful everyday expressions so that, if they go to Greece, they will be able to communicate with ease.
