Kids don't need lectures about "good money habits." They need to feel what money does.
While adults debate finances at home, kids are already using money, without actually understanding how.

In this course, we learn by playing. And by thinking.
We'll explore together:
✓ Simulate a real shop: handle actual money, practice spending and saving, discover what it feels like
✓ Create a personal budget: not boring spreadsheets, but visuals, games, and real challenges
✓ Ask the real questions: Need vs. want. Why save? How do people earn? What's debt?
✓ Discover how systems work: Banks, loans, digital money, and financial security
✓ Think like an entrepreneur: What services can I offer? How do I create value? How do I turn an idea into money?

Why this is different:
Most kids think "money is complicated." This class shows them that money is a tool, not a mystery, not something to fear.
And, more importantly: that they can control it.

What they take home:
A personal budgeting system they actually understand. Answers to questions they've been asking. And the mindset: money is a means, not an end.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60-min sessions | Small group or one-on-one

For curious kids who ask questions about money.

► EXPERT BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING, FINANCE & ECONOMICS TUTOR FROM SWITZERLAND
► IB, A-LEVEL, IGCSE & INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL SUPPORT

I completed my Master’s degree in Business Information Systems at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences, where my academic background strongly combined business, finance, economics, mathematics, analytical thinking and problem-solving. This technical and business-oriented foundation shaped the way I teach today: clearly, logically and with a strong focus on real understanding.

For many years, I have successfully supported students in Business Studies, Accounting, Finance and Economics. As a tutor from Switzerland, I bring a structured, patient and highly individual teaching style to students who want to improve their grades, prepare for important exams and build real confidence in business-related subjects.

My lessons are designed for students who want more than just memorizing definitions and formulas. I focus on understanding business concepts, applying financial logic, interpreting economic relationships and solving accounting problems step by step.

I explain business, accounting and economic concepts step by step so students understand the logic behind the theory and can apply it confidently in exams.

► I CONNECT THEORY WITH REAL BUSINESS EXAMPLES.
Business and economics become easier when students can see how concepts work in real life. I use practical examples to make topics clear, relevant and memorable.

► I SIMPLIFY COMPLEX CALCULATIONS.
In Accounting and Finance, I break calculations into clear steps so students understand what is given, which formula is needed and how to reach the final answer correctly.

► I TRAIN EXAM TECHNIQUE CAREFULLY.
Students learn how to structure answers, use key terminology, analyse case studies, justify decisions and manage time under exam conditions.

► I ADAPT EVERY LESSON TO THE STUDENT.
Every student learns differently, so I adjust my explanations, pace, examples and practice questions to match the student’s exact level and goals.

I am a qualified and passionate private mathematics tutor, a graduate of Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD). My academic background led me to study mathematics, physics, and computer science during my first two years of university, before specializing with a bachelor's and master's degree in biomathematics. This training allowed me to deepen my skills in applied sciences and develop advanced expertise in the analysis of complex concepts.
For over ten years, I have been tutoring students, an experience that began within my family circle and has been enriched over time by pedagogical training adapted to digital environments. Today, I offer fully personalized online courses, always starting with a thorough assessment of each student's skills to precisely identify their strengths and weaknesses. This analysis allows me to design a customized remediation program that effectively targets their specific needs.
I find great motivation in working with students eager to succeed. Their commitment and determination to progress stimulate my involvement and reinforce my professionalism. Online, I ensure a serious and structured learning environment, where the focus is strictly on the pedagogical aspect.
My thorough understanding of the mathematics curriculum, combined with my expertise in biomathematics, allows me to simplify complex concepts and make science learning accessible to everyone. My goal is to help each student solidify their foundational knowledge, regain confidence, and become independent in their studies.
I therefore offer my private lessons online, providing geographical flexibility and personalized support to guide each student towards success.

I offer accounting courses for secondary school students, particularly in vocational training, as well as for first-year bachelor's students at university or college.

The objective is to help the pupil or student understand accounting logic, master important entries and know how to solve exercises in a structured way, whether for a quiz, an exam, a qualification or a refresher course.

I primarily support pupils and students who wish to review the basics, better understand accounting mechanisms and practice on typical exercises.

Subjects covered according to your program:

• Basics of accounting:
debit/credit, asset and liability accounts, expenses and revenues, chart of accounts, account logic, supporting documents and reading statements.

• Journal and accounting entries:
recording of current operations, purchases, sales, payments, receipts, VAT, customer and supplier accounts, entries with or without discount.

• VAT and commercial transactions:
VAT to be recovered, VAT to be paid, purchase invoices, sales invoices, credit notes, trade discounts, rebates, incidental expenses and calculations related to commercial transactions.

• Depreciation:
straight-line depreciation, declining balance depreciation, depreciation schedules, depreciation charges, net book value and year-end entries.

• Provisions and adjustments:
provisions, deferred charges, accrued income, charges to be allocated, deferred income, inventory entries and year-end adjustments.

• Balance sheet and income statement:
construction of the balance sheet, assets/liabilities, equity, debts, expenses, revenues, profit or loss for the year, link between the income statement and the balance sheet.

• Basic financial analysis:
working capital, working capital requirement (WCR), net cash, simple ratios, reading and interpretation of financial statements.

• Cash flow:
operating cash flow, investment cash flow, financing cash flow, distinction between accounting profit and cash flow.

• Exam/qualification preparation:
Typical exercises, past quizzes, exams, case studies, problem-solving methods, guided correction and identification of common errors.

I can also help with economics depending on the level and program, particularly in microeconomics and macroeconomics: supply and demand, elasticities, costs, competition, market, growth, inflation, economic policy and basic models.

Method of working :

1. We identify the chapters that pose a problem;
2. I will re-explain the accounting logic with simple examples;
3. We redo the exercises step by step;
4. I show how to recognize the type of writing or calculation required;
5. We construct a clear method so that the student can do it on their own.

I do not limit myself to giving a correction: I explain the reasoning behind each writing and each calculation so that the subject becomes more logical and less mechanical.

I have been giving private lessons for over 7 years in mathematics, statistics, economics, and accounting. I also have a degree from Solvay/ULB and professional experience in finance and business controlling at Deloitte, which allows me to explain accounting with an approach that is academic, university-level, and practical.

Courses available in French or English, online or in person in Brussels or the surrounding area.

I provide individual tutoring in Accounting, Finance, Economics and related quantitative business subjects for students at school, vocational, Fachhochschule and university level.

My academic background is in Business Information Systems at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences. This combines business, economics, mathematics, statistics, finance, data and analytical problem-solving.

I have several years of teaching experience and have supported students preparing for school examinations, vocational qualifications, Fachhochschule modules and university exams.

Accounting topics can include:

- Financial Accounting
- Bookkeeping
- Debit and credit
- Journal entries
- Balance sheet
- Income statement
- Opening and closing entries
- Accruals
- Depreciation
- Inventory
- VAT
- Swiss accounting exercises
- Cost Accounting
- Management Accounting
- BAB
- Cost allocation
- Contribution Margin
- Break-even analysis
- Cash Flow Statement
- Financial ratios

Finance topics can include:

- Simple interest
- Compound interest
- Present value
- Future value
- Annuities
- Financial Mathematics
- Investment calculations
- NPV
- Investment appraisal
- Bonds
- Shares
- Risk and return
- CAPM
- WACC
- Corporate Finance
- Financial ratios
- Quantitative finance exercises

Economics topics can include:

- Microeconomics
- Supply and demand
- Elasticity
- Market equilibrium
- Consumer theory
- Producer theory
- Costs
- Revenue
- Profit
- Market structures
- Perfect competition
- Monopoly
- Macroeconomic fundamentals
- Business Economics
- Quantitative Economics

Related quantitative subjects can include:

- Business Statistics
- Probability
- Quantitative Methods
- Regression
- Data interpretation
- Financial calculations
- Applied Mathematics for business students

My teaching approach is based on understanding the logic behind each calculation.

For quantitative questions, we normally use a clear structure:

- What is given?
- What needs to be found?
- Which formula or accounting principle applies?
- Why does it apply?
- How is the result calculated?
- What does the final number actually mean?

This is particularly useful in Accounting and Finance.

Students sometimes learn one example mechanically and then become confused when the wording or numbers change in an examination. I therefore use different question styles so that students learn to recognise the underlying principle.

Lessons can be used for:

- Regular semester support
- Homework and exercises
- Closing knowledge gaps
- Exam preparation
- Intensive revision
- FH examinations
- University examinations
- Repeating previously failed modules
- Improving calculation speed and accuracy

I explain concepts in a structured and practical way and adapt the level of detail to the individual student.

The aim is to make Accounting, Finance and Economics feel logical, organised and manageable rather than like complicated collections of formulas and rules.

Are you finding accounting difficult to understand or do you need help preparing for an exam?

I teach accounting in a practical way, adapted to your level, starting from the basics and progressing to more complete exercises.

We will work through step-by-step exercises so that you understand not only what entry you have to make, but why it is done and how it affects the annual accounts.

We can work on, among other things:
• Basic accounting concepts
• General Accounting Plan
• Accounting entries
• Purchases and sales
• VAT
• Fixed assets and depreciation
• Periodizations and regularizations
• Stock
• Accounting close
• Balance sheet
• Profit and loss account
• Exercises and exam preparation

We can also work directly on the exercises or notes you are using in class, solving them together and explaining each step.

The goal is that you don't have to memorize the exercises, but rather that you understand the logic of accounting and can solve them on your own.

Additional materials + practice qs | Lesson plans | Recording + session notes available

Our time together starts by mapping out a clear goal - better grades, understanding the content at a deeper level, or even the small things like figuring the "diagram bits" out. Whatever the goal, we'll lay it out and build a plan around it.

Each lesson is tailored to this plan, with one common theme - simplify
When they ask to "Assess whether a government tax on producer-side pollutants is the best way to reduce market failure."

We'll know exactly:
- What market failure actually means, and how governments fix it
- How to develop points for an "assess" question
- Which diagram we can use to flesh out our answer (and how to explain it properly)
- and many more pro tips :)

Hotels, travel agencies and tour operators run on communication — enquiries, bookings, itineraries, reviews, and guests writing in several languages. Most of that work is repetitive. Much of it is exactly where AI genuinely helps, and most businesses are using it badly or not at all.

I spent twelve years in the travel industry, working with international bookings, ticketing and airline systems. I've spent the last two years building LLM tooling and training AI models. This class sits between those two things: how to apply AI to the daily work of a tourism or hospitality business.

You'll learn how to draft and answer guest enquiries faster without sounding like a machine. How to handle reviews — the straightforward ones and the difficult ones. How to produce itineraries, property descriptions and marketing copy from your own material. How to work across languages without hiring a translator for every message. And how to build repeatable workflows, so a task you do fifty times becomes a task you set up once.

This isn't about replacing your staff with a chatbot. It's about removing the repetitive work so your people can spend their time on guests.

By the end, you'll have a set of workflows built around your own business, not a list of tools you've heard of.
