- If you are tired of paying tutoring organizations that send you students who have the knowledge but not the pedagogy...

- If you're tired of only finding overqualified teachers with totally exorbitant prices when your daughter is only in 5th grade...


You have come across the right ad!


★ I am versatile:

I can help your children in French and Maths. I can also help them in English and Spanish but I specify that I am not trilingual I do tutoring.


★ I'm listening:

I pay particular attention to discussing with parents in order to know precisely the academic problems of their children in order to be able to best guide my lessons. I also like to ask the children afterwards to tell me their difficulties to see if parents and children have the same perception of them. When the assessment is established, I question the students on what they study in class so that I can follow the program while trying to review specific points that have not been assimilated.

I mainly use their courses and their textbooks so that my students keep their bearings, but if necessary I use the material I have.


★ I am a translator of incomprehensible courses:

Indeed, the lessons are totally incomprehensible for most students. Indeed, they are formalized in a way that no teenager can understand them. All students have the potential to become good when the concepts are well explained.

My mission is therefore to simplify them and transcribe them into clear language.


★ I am methodical:

I have improved my working methods through my 8 years of teaching, they are based on understanding and not on rote learning. The students must be able to re-explain their lesson to me in order to check if it has been fully understood. I give exercises of increasing difficulty, the exercises are appropriate for optimal progress. I can also give exercises to do for the next session.

When there is time left, I even take the opportunity to move forward on the program so that they get the best possible grades!


★ I am a coach with a psychological approach:

I like to help my students feel better at school, I'm not just there to help them with their homework.

All my lessons are personalized because each student is different. So I like to know how they perceive the subject, if they like their teachers in class, the job they want to do later...

I make it a point of honor to let my students find the exercises for themselves so that they are proud of them. In addition, I will also teach them to have a taste for effort (pay attention to their spellings and write properly) in order to do quality work to gain self-esteem. It is important that he is happy and motivated in order to be effective in his work.


★ I do my job with pleasure:

I like to pass on knowledge and have my students in difficulty evaluated. Teaching is for me a real pleasure and not a food need. I therefore offer real supervision throughout the school year.

Observation, listening, work and encouragement are the 4 pillars of my teaching.

The goal is for them to be autonomous and independent at the end of the school year!

My lessons boil down to this: good humor and efficiency!


★ Do not hesitate to contact me because I am very responsive on Apprentus. We will therefore be able to organize a first lesson quickly.


★ Opening hours: Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

It is optimal to work well on an entire chapter to do a 2 hour course per week.

About Me

SCHOOL SUPPORT PROFILE:

I have been doing tutoring professionally since 2014, so I will be available throughout the school year.

Thanks to my experience, I know the school programs very well, which is why I am comfortable in several subjects. Because of my versatility, I am the right teacher for your out-of-school children.

My calm, my pedagogy, my psychology (license in Psychology) and my natural authority allow me to be very effective in my work.

From 2014 to 2020, I worked for all of the following organisations: Acadomia, Complétude, Lauréat, Matelem, Keepschool, Anacours, Les Cours Legendre, Domicours, Addoceo and Meet In Class.

Since 2021, I have decided to become an Auto-Entrepreneur as a Service to Person (SAP).

I am self-employed and declared a Service To Person (SAP).

This means that there will be a 50% tax deduction on the course price whether or not you pay tax!


CHESS COURSE PROFILE:

★ I learned chess at the age of 8 and joined a club at 12.

★ At 24, I passed the 2300 rating mark and automatically became Master of the International Chess Federation (MF).

★ At 25 years old (in 2006), after achieving my 3 standards (3 performances>2450 rating) and exceeding 2400 rating, I became an International Master (IM).

★ Since my beginnings I have always been passionate about chess and I wanted to pass on my passion, that's why I started giving lessons in 2003. I had hundreds of students from all ages (from 5 to 87 years old) and all levels (from beginner to master candidate) which represents at least 5000 hours of lessons.

I mainly give private lessons but I have also given lessons in clubs. I coached several regions for the French youth championships for 4 years. I gave several simultaneous games (about 25 players), I even had a chess stand in a shopping center for a whole weekend where I played free games against the public.

★ Competition level, I played in interclubs in all the existing divisions (from the National 5 to the Top 16) which allowed me to know both the high level and the amateur level.

I participated in more than 600 tournaments including many international tournaments. I have won more than 40 tournaments whether youth or adult tournaments, blitz, rapids or long game tournaments.

★ In France, I am in the top 200 French players out of 55,000 members.

For the rest, I have a degree in Psychology which allows me to give practical advice to my students to approach the games and help them best to fight their problems at the chessboard.

Olivier is a trainer, available, attentive and responsive. I called him because my chess level was in sharp decline. He helped me to pick myself up by identifying my style of play, my points of vigilance and especially my strengths. From there, he came up with a training plan that helped me improve my game significantly. He is very good.

A professor stole the entire plot of my ad and had the audacity to take the same price while being less strong and less experienced. Don't be fooled, always prefer the original to the copy :-) ★ I give lessons to children aged 5 and over. I have a lot of students between 5 and 15 years old. ★ I come to your home in 75, 78, 92, 93 and 95. ★ Please read the different prices and timetables at the bottom of this page. Do you often wonder why you can't progress? Because you are looking left and right for information, advice and books to read but you are getting scattered. You constantly watch chess videos on the Internet which are entertaining but it is too passive an activity which does not really make you study chess in depth. Then, you will play online games at too fast a pace while you do not master the main general principles. You thus develop bad reflexes because you constantly repeat the same mistakes without even realizing it, which causes your level to quickly stagnate. Then, you make a game report which tells you that you played with 80% accuracy but nevertheless you lost and you do not necessarily understand the main reasons. And finally, you watch the game with an analysis module which offers you good moves but does not provide you with the explanations necessary to fully understand them. Some teachers also offer group lessons with a monthly subscription which can help you progress slightly, but what you need is a truly personalized lesson. Taking private lessons will save you a lot of time because I know the methods that work to progress and quickly be more competitive. I will teach you the essential concepts to master to better understand chess overall and I can recommend interesting books to study alongside classes. I have always liked to pass on my knowledge to my students so that they can give the best of themselves. This is why, over the years, I have improved my teaching techniques and I have created a real training program in order to best help my students unlock their potential. It is important to understand that good progress is a subtle balance between playing and studying. Whether you want to compete for fun or to win titles, whether you want to beat your friends or simply discover the complexity of the game of chess: this announcement is made for you! ★ I would like to reassure “beginners” who are sometimes a little “ashamed” of their level by telling them that I have many beginner students! ★ Recent examples: ➤ September 2018, a 16-year-old student takes 1.5 hours of lessons per week to improve in competition. It goes from 1650 to 2000 in around fifteen hours of lessons! ➤ November 2019, I have 2 new students (29 and 30 years old) who are 1200 on Chesscom. One decides to take 3 hours of lessons per week and the other 4 hours. 1 year later, there are 2000 of them on the same site! ➤ September 2021, a 35-year-old student returns to chess competitions after a 20-year hiatus. With 1 hour of lessons per week, it goes from 1350 to 1650 after only 10 hours of lessons! ➤ September 2021, a 23-year-old student decides to take 3 hours of lessons per week at 1600 on Chesscom. After a year of lessons he reached 2380 in 15 minute games! ➤ July 2022, a 30-year-old student decides to take 2 hours of lessons per week, he is then 800 on Chesscom. Barely 6 months later, it is 1450 on the same site! ➤ December 2023, one of my young students gained 200 FIDE elo points in 1.5 years of lessons and has just become Paris Champion in his age category! ★ If you still have hesitations, I have more than 200 reviews left by my students at the bottom of the ad. You can read some of them, this will allow you to get a better idea of the quality of the courses and the good atmosphere that reigns there. In order for the lessons to be effective, the secret is regularity, that is to say doing at least 1 hour of lessons per week. ★ ★ Mini group lessons (2 to 4 people) at your home or via webcam! ➤ If you don't want to take lessons alone because you've never taken one. ➤ If you want to work on common themes with your friends who have a similar level to yours. ➤ If you want your teenagers to do something more interesting than spending their days in front of their tablets. ➤ Or if you simply want quality courses at a preferential price. This offer might interest you! Prices are specified at the very bottom of the ad. ★ ★ Individual lessons for adults and experienced children: I offer quality lessons with a real methodology! ★ Progress of the first lessons: Whether you're competing or playing online, we'll analyze your games over a few sessions. This will allow me to assess your knowledge, thought process, strengths and typical mistakes in order to together define a training program for the upcoming sessions. For this program to be viable I will take into account your level, your ambitions but also the time you can devote to playing and studying. ★ And for the following courses: ➤ A complete and effective repertoire of openings (made with the latest software: Leela 0, Stockfish 16), adapted to your style and your level. Examples: London System, Viennese, Scottish, Tarrash, Sicilian c3, Alekhine, Modern, Philidor, Scandinavian, Caro-Kann, Slavic, East Indian Defense, Petrov... This repertoire is not based on opening traps but on understanding each move played. This will allow you to play good moves without learning tons of variations by heart! My goal is not to make you learn tons of lines that are never played to you! I would like to point out that the lines have been worked very seriously, so you will be able to play them throughout your progress. You will therefore not spend your life re-examining openings whether with white or black. I would like to point out that I show absolutely everything I know! ➤ Learn to build a plan in the middle of the game through the study of the games of world champions and their contemporaries. In this sense, I created a base of 300 classic games to know. The goal is to show you a multitude of different patterns so that you have sufficient chess knowledge to be able to play all types of positions well. You will thus develop automatisms and a certain sense of the game which will help you in your games! ➤ A multitude of tactical exercises to be able to gain a decisive advantage during your games. ➤ And of course the study of elementary checkmates and essential endgames in order to master the endgames. So, I created a base of 66 elementary pawn endings to know. This whole methodology aims to make you a complete player. ★★ Classes for beginner children: I have a lot of children and teenagers who are beginners, it's really an audience that I'm used to working with. It is essential that children have fun, which is why my approach is above all fun! Each child is different, I always adapt my teaching according to their age, their desires and their level. I play with them to teach them to think while they play. Chess really works on concentration (which is good for school!). I teach them to understand the opponent's moves in order to be able to counter them. I make them a small repertoire of openings and I teach them the typical traps of their favorite openings. For the rest, I give them simple exercises to start with, then I progress at the student's pace so that they learn the different rules and techniques while having fun! My lessons boil down to this: good humor and efficiency! If you don't have a chess board, I can bring one back without any problem! ★ Webcam lessons: I use the free Discord software to communicate via video with my student and share my screen. I have a good quality webcam as well as a Razer Seiren Mini microphone which are perfect for good lesson transcription. You will see that Webcam lessons are just as effective as home lessons! I download your played games from the Internet and then we analyze them via ChessBase. Thanks to this software, I have access to all my lessons, so I can present classic games to you as well as openings that I have already analyzed beforehand. I can also show plans using colored arrows, highlight threats, important squares to control or show a weakened pawn structure. It also contains a database of 12 million games which I use to illustrate my explanations with famous games. At the end of each lesson, I send my lessons by email so that you can review the points worked together! ★ Prices for courses at your home: ➤ I live in Enghien-les-Bains (95) and I travel by car 20 minutes from my home. ★ Hours: - Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. - Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. ★ Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions because I am very responsive on Apprentus (around 1 hour). We will therefore be able to organize a first course quickly. See you soon ! ★ Details: ★ I am self-employed and declared personal service (SAP) which means that for all the people to whom I physically travel there will be a 50% tax credit on the price of the courses! So whether or not you pay taxes, the state will reimburse you for half of all tuition for the year! This is why there is a reduction for people who take webcam lessons because they cannot benefit from the tax credit (I can't help it, it's the law!). My Auto-Entreprise is approved by the National Quality Charter for its seriousness and its desire to constantly improve its services. ★ Payments are made through Apprentus: I will send you the course proposal at the end of the week for the following week and all you have to do is validate it. Then at the beginning of the month, I send you an invoice by email with all the courses paid for the previous month.
- If you are tired of paying tutoring organizations that send you students who have the knowledge but not the pedagogy... - If you are tired of only finding highly qualified teachers while your daughter is only in 5th grade... You have come across the right ad! ★ I am versatile: I can help your children with French and Maths. I can also help them in English and Spanish but I should point out that I am not trilingual, I provide academic support. ★ I'm listening: A prior discussion with parents is essential in order to know precisely the academic problems of their children and to best guide my lessons. I also like to ask the children afterwards what their difficulties are to see if parents and children have the same perception. When the assessment is established, I question the students on what they are studying in class with a view to following the program while trying to review specific points that have not been assimilated.

In addition, I will encourage them to develop a taste for effort (pay attention to their spelling and write neatly) in order to systematically produce quality work and gain self-esteem. I restore confidence in my students because it is important that they are happy and motivated to be effective in their work. ★ I do my job with pleasure: I like to pass on knowledge and see my students progress.
