About Me

I obtained my scientific baccalaureate specializing in mathematics, international option, German and visual arts options with honors in 2020. Like many other students, the months following the baccalaureate were full of uncertainty. Despite my admission to the best French universities (La Sorbonne and Assas in law and human and social sciences), I felt the desire to go in search of a more atypical university experience. I have always admired the American education system, and I have always had a thirst for discovery and a change of scenery. So I decided to take a sabbatical, during which I focused on my personal projects (startup development, internship and volunteering). At the same time, I prepared my applications for the universities that have always made me dream. I passed my TOEFL with a score of 115/120, and my SAT with a score of 1370/1600 (710/800 in English). This allowed me to be accepted (among others) at Duke Kunshan University, Duke's branch campus, with an access rate of 8%.

Very little supervision during this adventure, I started helping high school students wanting to have a similar path (or who want to take the TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, Duolingo for other reasons) in 2021. I have been teaching for several years now, and being able to get to know my students and contribute to their success fills me with joy :)

SAT preparation for studies at American universities

23.84 £ /h

The SAT is, to put it simply, the closest thing to the American equivalent of the baccalaureate. It is essential for studying at an American university.
Having obtained the SAT with a score high enough to be admitted to several American universities with scholarship, I offer SAT preparation courses (content, method, tips for math and English) at my home, in a public place at your convenience or by Zoom. I can also provide advice on how to apply to US universities.

You can work on your grammar, writing, speaking and pronunciation. Are you desperate to pass your exams, prepare yourself for an interview or correct an essay? Or do you want to go to an English school or follow an English programme? The teacher is open to your requests.

Do you have a question? Don't worry, the teacher will be happy to answer you. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Hello,

I am currently in my preparation year for the French teaching competitions (Capes and Agrégation en Lettres modernes). I have just completed my master's degree in comparative literature at the Sorbonne University (Paris IV), where my subject was “Contemporary rewritings of the myth of Persephone”. I have also validated a DESS in Teaching French as a second language (FLE).

I have been giving private lessons for four years now, allowing me to gain experience day by day. I have also given FLE lessons to students and adults as part of two language services (CREIPAC and Groupe LDL).
I give Grammar, English and French lessons to those needing academic support in these subjects.
Concerning my course in English, I completed a Preparatory Class for Grandes Ecoles (hypokhâgne/khâgne) which allowed me to acquire a C1 level in English. I can therefore teach the basics of language in production, expression and comprehension.

My lessons will adapt to the student's expectations. We will start from its difficulties to move towards new notions of grammar, conjugation and literary culture. These private lessons can be accompanied by homework help and in-depth study of the subjects covered in class.
I listen to the student and the family to understand the specific needs of each.

I offer homework help in the following subjects: Mathematics, French, English, history/geography, SVT, physics/chemistry.

We will do homework for the following week, do course reviews in case of misunderstanding and prepare for assessments.

I am aware that it is sometimes difficult to motivate your child to start working. This is why I offer my help. Organization and regularity will be the keys that I will try to instill as much as possible.

Hi! My name is Maya, I’m from Austria and currently studying for my Bachelor’s degree in Business. I completed the Austrian equivalent of the Bac in 2023, where I excelled in my English exam (oral and written). I also spent one year at a high school in the United States, which gave me near-native English skills.

I have experience tutoring children and teenagers in my hometown—helping with homework, practicing conversation, and supporting individual learning goals. I love English, enjoy working with young learners, and I’m excited to help you achieve your personal goals in the language. Since German is my mother tongue, I can also support you with that if needed. :)

I offer English lessons adapted to the level of each student, favoring an active pedagogy with concrete examples, guided exercises and practical applications in both oral and written language. A typical lesson begins with a quick review of the concepts seen in class, followed by homework help and targeted exercises to overcome difficulties, then ends with a more fun activity to give the student confidence (short translations, simple conversation, illustrated vocabulary). As a student in an LLCER degree in English, I combine my university knowledge with a patient and caring approach, which makes English lively and concrete. My lessons are aimed at primary, middle and high school students, whatever their level, in order to consolidate the basics, improve grammar, enrich vocabulary and progress in oral communication.

Independent English teacher for over 15 years. I have several years of experience teaching English to students from kindergarten to high school, both in France and abroad.
My teaching method is based on a positive, interactive and individualized approach. Each child learns at their own pace: I adapt to their personality, their needs and their interests in order to strengthen their confidence and their enjoyment of learning.
Learning takes place through immersion and play, with a central focus on spoken language, while vocabulary, grammar, and writing are gradually introduced in a simple and concrete way. I also place great importance on encouragement, recognizing progress, and gentle repetition. Regular communication with parents allows us to monitor the child's development, adjust objectives, and ensure consistent and effective support.
