About Me

I’m an award-winning independent filmmaker who has been working for over 25 years on the biggest passion of my life! My greatest achievement is the 4 feature films I have directed, one of which The Man Inside was distributed theatrically and was critically acclaimed. You can also view my work on Disney Plus, Amazon, Netflix, Sky and Apple TV. I’ve trained and gained experience on film sets across the world and continue to make films to this day. As a short film filmmaker I enjoy the entire filmmaking process from scripting, directing, cinematography and editing. As well as being a filmmaker, I have also been a film mentor and educator, working with some of the most prestigious film schools in London and Paris.
As a private tutor I have also used my extensive experience in Higher Education to guide and mentor students who are writing dissertations or applying to film schools and universities.

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.

This class is about learning Tunisian Arabic to easily interact with Tunisians. Tunisian Arabic is not the first dialect you hear about when you start to learn Arabic, but it is indeed one of the most fascinating and useful, especially if you are working in Tunisia, your partner is Tunisian or you are into North African social studies.
It occurred to you to be told that Tunisian Arabic has no grammatical or syntactic rules because it's not real Arabic? Well, that's not true! I can reveal you some tips to speak and sound Tunisian even if you don't know anything about Arabic. We will talk, play, watch videos from Tunisian tv programs and learn about language and culture.

I also do transcriptions and translations of documents and videos into French and Italian for academic researchers, journalists, and entrepreneurs.

Arjen

My name is Arjen. I tutor and give exam training in math and physics for upper secondary education (Dutch HAVO/VWO, IB, or other similar programmes). As an Aerospace Engineer, I help students not only with solving problems, but especially with understanding the “why” behind the theory.

I start with a short diagnosis: where is the real difficulty? Based on this, I create a personal learning plan that I share with the student. In this way we work in a focused way on those areas where most is to be gained. During the sessions, the focus is on recognizing structure and analyzing problems step by step, so that students become more independent and their confidence gets a boost.

In my explanations, I regularly use examples from technology and engineering. By linking abstract theory to real applications, it becomes clearer where the mathematics or physics comes from and what it is needed for, and things often suddenly “click”.

I can give lessons both at home and via an online connection. In the latter case, I do this using a tablet, allowing you to follow my explanations and examples live on your screen.

After the the lessons, I create personal practice exercises when needed, tailored to the student’s level and learning goals. In this way, we work not only towards better results in the short term, but also towards a strong foundation for future studies.

Good day, my name is Mike. I come from Shanghai, China. I'm now studying at Shanghai University.
Chinese is the language of the east, connecting people from many nations.

Does Chinese scare you? The tones, the characters, such a different grammar... You might not know where to start.
Good news: With the right method, it's much less intimidating than it seems! So don't hesitate to contact me!

Before you go any further, let me introduce myself.
I come from Shanghai, China. I got 138(A+) out of 150 in English GaoKao.
I have no problem in English communication at all, and thus I ranked top 0.1% in the English contest for senior high school students in Shanghai, surpassing more than 15 contestants from the Top 4 elite high schools, which includes Shanghai High School. Surprised? That's true.
Since Shanghainese is very different from the official language, I might introduce this Shanghai Dialect if you like, for comparison and for fun!
Besides, the HSK exam might be helpful to you(e.g. for overseas students in China/for foreigners working in China).
An organized, systematic course for HSK prep is also free to go!

I offer grammar lessons, conversation practice and/or exam preparation through dynamic and practical classes.
Moreover, if you wish to have a firm grip on this language, thinking in Chinese rather than just reciting the grammar rules is quite crucial.
Anyway, if you're looking for a friendly, patient and dedicated teacher, I'd be delighted to help you achieve your goals!

My methodology is as follows(may not all be included, as your needs go first):
1. I can show the examples of certain pronunciations/tones to you and you can read after me if you want.
2. I can provide you with vivid conversations and fulfill your curiosity by Q&A interactions.
3. I can present you the past papers of HSK and analyze them if you wish.
4. Instead of giving you homework, I hope that you can search more interesting videos and passages from the web, based on your own preference.

My approach combines teaching and mentoring, and I take a holistic approach to ensure improvements in all aspects of a student's development, so no worries at all!

It's okay and normal that my students come from all walks of life. As long as you are willing to learn, there is a way.
I believe that interest is the best teacher, so I'll try my best to prepare before classes and make them effective to students.

Through my own experiences of overcoming obstacles and achieving success, I’m passionate about helping others do the same. Let’s work together to ensure you reach your full potential, both academically and personally!

I help students build strong mathematical foundations, improve their confidence, and achieve better academic results through clear, engaging and personalised lessons.
My lessons are suitable for students who want to strengthen their understanding of Mathematics, catch up on difficult topics, or move to a higher level. I use practical examples, step-by-step explanations, guided practice and challenging questions to make Mathematics easier to understand.
Lessons can cover topics such as number and place value, fractions, decimals, percentages, algebra, geometry, measurement, problem-solving and other areas of the school curriculum. I can also support students following Cambridge and UK-style curricula.
Every lesson is adapted to the student's ability and learning needs. My goal is not just to help students get answers, but to help them understand WHY the answer is correct and become independent, confident mathematical thinkers.
