About Me

Sophia is an artist, tutor, curator and researcher. Her work addresses the construction of identity through relationships and more recently her research and practice is oriented toward group dynamics, collectivity, cooperation and self-organisation – blurring the boundaries between art, education and activism to question the ontology of art, its social functions and institutional contexts, and to experiment with collective economies and learning environments. In 2015 she founded ART&CRITIQUE, an alternative art education network, superseded in 2019 by the Radical Pedagogy Research Group, a peer-led participatory action-research project. She is currently working on a project to start a co-operative art school, providing a self-organised and sustainable alternative to mainstream art education. She is a former member of Exploding Cinema, The Field, Deptford Cinema, Body Politic and other collectives.

Education

Sophia has a practice-based PhD in Fine Art from Goldsmiths. Her research interests include institutional critique and the relationship between art and politics, institutions and independent organisations and collective practices. She has a BA in Fine Art (Sculpture) First Class Honours with Distinction with studies in Photography, Printmaking, Stage Design, Graphic Design, Theory of Art, History of Art, Philosophy of Aesthetics, Architecture, Pedagogy & Psychology of Education and Didactics in Art Education.

An engineer by training, I have been supporting students of all levels, in mathematics and beyond, for 10 years.

My classes aren't just about explaining formulas: I strive to convey a work method, self-confidence, and a positive approach to learning. Together, we'll work on gaining a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts, but also on becoming more organized, managing stress, and progressing independently.

👉 What I propose:

- Clear explanations adapted to your level

- Practical and structured exercises

- Helps with memorization and organization

- Stress management and mental preparation before exams

- Regular and personalized monitoring

It's September, the start of the new school year: the perfect time to get off to a good start and give yourself the best possible chance. Getting support now will allow you to approach the year with confidence, with a solid foundation and an effective working method.

My goal? For you to succeed in math and gain peace of mind, so you can progress in school and beyond.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

For some students, homework help in the evening (over a fairly short period of time, often an hour from time to time is enough to create a method that allows the student to improve their work by themselves) may be a necessity.
What can also be useful is the deepening of the lessons through small exercises and clarification on the gray points of the courses.
What I am proposing here is this help, multidisciplinary until the start of middle school, then, in middle school or high school, in all subjects with the exception of mathematics and possibly physics.
I can particularly help in French, history geography, English, SVT, Spanish and geopolitics.

The purpose of this course ranges from the simple explanation, reformulation and relearning of a misunderstood course to the development of the student in a given discipline.
To do this, I do multiple application exercises, followed by corrections and more theoretical parts if necessary.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

Do you want to improve your skills? Are you looking for effective help with your homework or your children's? Do you want to work in a calm, focused environment with specific goals? You've come to the right place! My name is Anna, and I'm a Political Science student at the University of Rouen. Passionate about teaching and education, I offer personalized tutoring for students from elementary school (CP) to middle school (3ème), primarily in French and History-Geography. For high school students, I also offer methodology courses for subjects like History, Geography, Geopolitics, and Political Science (HGGSP) and oral exam preparation.
To make your daily life easier, I also offer occasional babysitting services for children from 5 years old (ideal for combining end-of-day care and learning).

To guarantee a breakthrough and consistent progress, each session is structured in a fluid manner:

Step 1: Understanding - We review the lesson together to ensure that the basics and essential concepts are fully understood.
Step 2: Apply – The lesson is broken down through concrete examples and guided application exercises. Step 3: Develop independence – The student completes exercises independently, followed by an interactive peer review to understand any errors.

Because we learn best when we feel confident, I am committed to providing a calm, studious, relaxed, and supportive environment. No stress, no judgment: we progress together, at the student's pace, to boost their grades and self-confidence!

As an active secondary school teacher of Germanic languages and pedagogical project coordinator, I find that 80% of learners primarily struggle with a lack of study methodology and feel uneasy with basic principles of organization and effective learning.

Having written my degree dissertation on neuroscience applied to both general learning and language acquisition, I offer study skills sessions built around two key pillars:

The First: Organization.

Getting organized, finding one's bearings, and understanding clearly where you stand and where you are headed. Learning how to take stock of available resources to identify what is missing before even tackling the subject matter itself.

The Second: Active Learning & Retention.

Truly remembering, maintaining knowledge and practical skills, manipulating the material, connecting concepts, and applying spaced repetition. If I tell you my phone number 100 times in a single day, you will remember it today but forget it shortly after. If I share it with you 10 times across several days and through varied angles, you will retain it for life!

Feel free to contact me.

A great artist should be able to draw a wide variety of subjects with confidence and creativity. This includes drawing people with accurate features and expressions, creating beautiful landscapes with depth and detail, and illustrating flowers with delicate shapes, textures and natural beauty.

Good drawing skills come from careful observation, understanding proportion, practising shading and using lines effectively. Whether drawing portraits, countryside scenes, buildings, plants or flowers, a skilled artist should be able to bring each subject to life and develop their own creative style.

With regular practice, students can improve their drawing techniques, build confidence and learn how to create artwork they are proud of.

Discover cinema from the inside, deepen your perspective as a spectator and develop your projects with the methods used in the professional world.

Do you want to improve your screenwriting skills, develop a film project, understand the mechanisms of your favorite works, or prepare for your future in cinema?

Whether you are a film buff, student, aspiring screenwriter or an experienced author, I offer private lessons tailored to your level, interests and ambitions.

As a graduate of ESRA Paris and a professional in film production and development, I draw on my experience with authors and my work at Somnivore Films to share the methods of analysis, writing and development that I use daily.
Courses tailored to your goals
Screenwriting and dramaturgy

From the conception of a story to its various rewrites, learn to master the mechanisms of cinematic writing: narrative construction, dramatic structure, character development, conflicts, dialogues, rhythm and progression of the story.

We can work on targeted exercises or directly on your own script, whether it's a short film, a feature film, or a series project.

For authors who already have a script, I also offer rewriting support: dramaturgical analysis, identification of narrative difficulties, search for solutions and deepening of artistic intentions.

Film analysis on demand: choose the films that fascinate you!

Have you always wanted to understand why a film moves you, fascinates you, or leaves you perplexed?

I offer sessions entirely devoted to the films of your choice.

We can explore their storytelling, their characters, their staging, their editing, their themes, or even the artistic choices that shape the viewer's experience.

The analysis can focus on an entire work, a particular sequence, or a question that interests you: Why does this scene work? How does the director build emotion? What does a film tell us beyond its plot?

The goal is to develop your ability to observe, interpret and argue your analyses, while exploring the works that truly interest you.

Analyzing the writing of a film: understanding the mechanisms of a screenplay

This approach is particularly aimed at writing enthusiasts, screenwriters, and people who want to understand how a cinematic narrative is constructed.

Using a film of your choice, we analyze its narrative architecture: exposition, conflict development, scene construction, character trajectories, dramatic twists and resolution.

We can study the intentions of the screenwriters, identify potential difficulties in the narrative and consider other writing possibilities.

This method allows you to acquire analytical reflexes directly applicable to your own scenarios.

Genre cinema: horror, fantasy, thriller and exploration of film genres

Genre cinema is one of my main areas of specialization, with a particular interest in horror, fantasy, and thrillers.

I offer sessions dedicated to the analysis of these universes and their narrative mechanisms: construction of suspense, management of fear, creation of an atmosphere, anticipation, surprise, subversion of conventions and spectator expectations.

How do you construct a truly terrifying scene? Why do some revelations work better than others? How do you renew the conventions of a genre without losing what makes it unique?

We can study existing films, explore a particular subgenre, or work on writing your own project.

This specialization is aimed at both film enthusiasts wishing to deepen their knowledge of genre cinema and authors eager to master its dramatic mechanisms.

Film development and production

How do you transform an idea into a project that can be presented to a production company?

Drawing on my experience in production and my work at Somnivore Films, I can help you understand the different stages of film development.

We can work on writing a synopsis, a treatment, a statement of intent, an artistic dossier or a pitch, but also address financing mechanisms, the search for producers and the organization of film development.

The support can be based on your personal project or take the form of an introduction to professional practices in the sector.

Documentary writing and development

Thanks to my specialized training in documentary filmmaking and my experience in this field, I also offer courses dedicated to the design of documentary projects.

Choosing the subject, research, defining an angle, constructing a point of view, documentary writing, preparing interviews, articulation between narration and filmed reality: we address the particularities of this cinematic form.

I can also assist you in writing a documentary development file.

Preparation for film schools and university support

Do you want to attend a film school or pursue film studies?

Having myself completed several university and professional training courses in this field, I can assist you in preparing your applications: compiling a file, presenting your projects, preparing for interviews and training for analysis or writing tests.

I also offer support to film students for their film analyses, dissertations, research papers and screenwriting exercises.
A teaching method directly informed by my professional experience
My approach is based on one conviction: the mechanisms of cinema are best understood when observed in action and when one learns to use them.

In my professional activity, I analyze scripts, identify their dramaturgical difficulties, support authors in their rewrites and participate in the development of projects intended to be presented to producers.

I apply this approach to my classes, combining explanations, film examples and exercises tailored to each student.

What happens during a session ?

We begin by identifying your expectations and the difficulties you wish to work on. Each lesson is then structured around a specific objective.

For a writing course, we can, for example, examine your storyboard, analyze the dramatic function of several scenes, rework a character, or compare different narrative solutions.

For a film analysis, we can start with a sequence, observe its construction and understand how the choices of writing, directing or editing guide our perception.

For project support, we work directly on your documents, with reasoned observations and suggestions for rewriting or development.

The sessions devoted to a particular film are prepared around a work and questions defined together beforehand.

I favour exchange and reflection: it is not about imposing a single interpretation or method on you, but about giving you the means to understand the possible choices, their consequences and their relevance according to your intentions.

You will therefore leave with knowledge, working methods and, where the course allows, concrete suggestions to continue your progress.
Who are my courses for?
My courses are open to all levels and different profiles:
- Film buffs and enthusiasts, wishing to deepen their understanding of films, explore film genres or discover the mechanisms of writing and directing.
- Beginners and aspiring authors, eager to learn to write, structure their ideas or develop a film project.
- Experienced screenwriters and authors, seeking an outside perspective on their work, dramaturgical support or tools to deepen their practice.
- Students and candidates for film schools, wishing to progress in their studies, prepare for admission tests or benefit from methodological support.
- Project leaders wishing to better understand the professional practices of film development and production.
You can come with a screenplay in progress, a film idea, a work you wish to analyze, a file to prepare or simply a curiosity for cinema.

Each course is built around what you want to learn, understand or develop, with support that takes into account your experience and objectives.
