Private lessons to prepare well for the Sciences Po joint competitive exam

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 20 £ /h

Having been very autonomous in my learning throughout my studies, I have a lot to contribute on the keys to academic success: personalization of types of learning/memorization, time management, anxiety management, rigor and autonomy , etc. I am convinced that support must be adapted according to each person's specific needs. My degree in educational sciences with a specialty in adult training helped me greatly to deepen my teaching skills. I also gave numerous private lessons throughout my studies.

I can support homework help in certain subjects but also for the preparation of competitions, in particular the Sciences Po competition. I myself prepared for the IEP competition in 2013 via the Tremplin IEP platform, in parallel with my studies. My 5 years at Sciences Po gave me a definite ability to support students in preparing for the competitive examination. I was also part of the "Equal opportunities and democratization" program in order to support final year students in preparing for the IEP competition.

Preparing for the competition requires a certain amount of rigor over a long period of time. Apart from the regularity of learning, I do not follow a single standard method, especially since the acquisitions are very different in the three competitive examinations and therefore require adaptation. I offer a first session, in order to get to know each other and assess the learner's needs. The learning framework is thus established together and revised regularly depending on progress in the preparatory work.

Extra information

Classes take place online. I have Tremplin IEP materials from previous years but not this year. However, the bibliography made available to all is a starting point that we can use.

I offer you my services in order to make you truly effective orally / in writing in English. If you have to use English for your professional activity and you don't feel comfortable. If you are tired of being spotted right away as the French. If you still don't know when to use the present perfect / preterite, I'm here to help and take you forward.
* Linguist by training and author of school textbook in this capacity.
I am not that young student who got a good mark in the Baccalaureate or that other who is supposedly bilingual. I have been teaching as a teacher in the National Education since 1995 and I can tell you that teaching cannot be improvised. It is not an activity that we do "like that". I offer you my expertise and my experience.
To have 10/20 in the Baccalaureate, it is enough to have the A2 level (which is theoretically expected at the end of 3rd year) so I let you imagine the desperation of future engineers who must obtain at least 750 in the TOEIC! (the equivalent of level B2)
* Daily monitoring possible via internet.
* Specialized in "phonology": intonation, word accent, connections, oral grammar.
* Adaptation to all levels: from college to post-Bac including high school.

=> Post-bac: preparation for TOEIC, TOEFL, iELTS, Cambridge First-Certificate, Advanced Certificate.
=> CPGE: translation, essay, "fluency".
=> Enunciative Linguistics (CAPES) - Didactics of English.
=> Orals and writings of the grandes écoles such as the ENA.
=> Orals and writings from business schools (Tremplin-Passerelle ...).
=> English for medical interns.

Doctor in political science and graduate in economics (Master), I have been teaching humanities in English and French in various grandes écoles (IEP) and business schools (EDHEC, SKEMA) for more than ten years.

Always respectful of the pace and needs of my students, I help them achieve their goals (preparation of files or entrance exams to high school, validation of exams ...) serenely.

For ten years, my goal has been the same: to help my students to surpass themselves by communicating to them a deep joy of learning.

I suggest you help you refine your file, consolidate your knowledge (general culture, economics or political science) and sharpen your skills (reflection / writing / presentation) so that, rather than arid "tests", your exams become opportunities or occasions to demonstrate your progress.

This is a method or knowledge course, as you wish, regarding preparation for the IEP competition. The themes of QC being the same as those of last year (which I prepared), I still know them very well. In addition, in history and in English the program has not changed, but anyway you do not pass these tests this year. If you need new knowledge, I can bring it to you, if you need a method (the most important element even if we do not necessarily realize it at the beginning) I can help you with lots of tips that will make your copy go from a 10 to a 15!
Whatever happens, I will be able to adapt to your needs.

Whether you want to travel to French-speaking Africa, learn to speak French better for work, or need help at school with French, you've come to the right place. My name is Lotus, and last year I completed my bachelor's degree in Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology. Not so long ago I also obtained my VWO diploma, with an average of 8 for French. But fairness itself: although you learn to read and write French well in secondary school, speaking and listening skills lag behind. A few years ago I met my partner, who speaks French fluently. I was lucky enough to brush up on my speaking and listening skills. With this knowledge I am happy to help you with all facets of French, so that you build up a solid knowledge of French that you can really use in France!

I also have more than three years of experience with tutoring and homework support, both online and on location. I believe that learning should be fun above all else, so before every tutoring session we also think about how we can treat the material in a way that also gets the student excited.

Admitted to the joint competitive entrance exam for IEP and Sciences Po Bordeaux, I chose the latter after a year of preparatory studies that I completed alone with a distance learning course; before joining Mines de Paris for a specialized Master's degree.

Having graduated in 2020, I can help you get into Sciences Po Bordeaux or one of the IEPs for the joint competitive exam, whether you are a high school student or already have your baccalaureate!

My method is to adapt to each person's needs, but above all to set up a pressure-free preparation, with which one can find pleasure in learning.

I propose to do this by:
1. Understand your needs during a first session

2. Set up a preparation schedule:
> General knowledge: setting up routines and resources to improve it (following current events, books, podcasts, sociology/political science concepts that you absolutely need to know, etc.)
> English: grammar, translations, notions of British and American civilization
> History: in-depth study of the high school program

3. To practice concretely on dissertations, oral exams, image analyses

I would be happy to help you get into these schools!

With several years of experience as a student tutor, I offer to give lessons to students from sixth grade to twelfth grade, with the aim of support, homework help, reinforcement or in-depth study of concepts.
The lessons are fun, based on the needs and expectations of the student, with whom I spend time discussing in order to develop the working method together.
Although I place great importance on learning and understanding concepts, I also focus on improving the student's learning methods.
Typical structure of a one-hour lesson (duration and content may vary depending on individual needs)
-10 minutes of questions and discussion on the difficulties related to the last session.
-Divided into two 20-minute parts, with two different themes to vary the concepts covered, with both theoretical and practical work.
-10 final minutes devoted to any questions and reflection on the themes to be addressed in the next session.

After graduating with a scientific baccalaureate, I completed three years of preparatory classes (B/L track) at the Lycée Janson de Sailly in Paris, before gaining admission to the ENS de Lyon through the competitive entrance exam. I was also accepted to HEC and ESSEC on my first attempt at the entrance exams.

I then continued my studies at the ENS de Lyon in social sciences, with a Master 1 in sociology and then a Master 2 in history, partly completed in Japan.

Today I offer tutoring to students in B/L preparatory classes, from the first year to the entrance exams, in the following subjects:
• German, especially German civilization;
• English ;
• Letters;
• History and geography;
• Sociology.

I can also support students in preparing for the entrance exams to the ENS and business schools, in particular to work on methodology, organize revisions, prepare for the exams and identify points to explore further.

A former student of the B/L preparatory class, a graduate of the ENS de Lyon, and admitted to HEC and ESSEC on my first attempt, I offer personalized tutoring to B/L students, from their first year through to the entrance exams. I still have numerous preparatory class resources (lessons, study guides, timelines, past papers, bibliographies, and past exam papers) that I can make available to students to supplement our sessions.

I provide particular support to students in history and geography, literature, sociology, German, and English, working on knowledge, methodology, and the specific requirements of the exams. My training at the ENS, especially in sociology and history, also allows me to delve deeper into the courses and provide academic references.

I can also assist with preparation for the entrance exams to the ENS and business schools, as well as with organizing revisions, working through past papers, preparing for oral exams, and analyzing written assignments. My goal is to impart not only knowledge and resources, but above all, effective study methods and strategies that will enable students to progress and become more independent.

A preparation based on my experience with B/L and competitive exams

Having myself completed three years of B/L, I am familiar with the specific requirements of this course: quantity of work, diversity of disciplines, pace of assignments, oral exams, dissertations, mock exams and the need to gradually build solid knowledge that can be mobilized quickly.
My experience at the ENS de Lyon also allowed me to extend this training in social sciences and to acquire a more in-depth academic work and research method.
I still have access to many of the resources I compiled during my preparatory studies: lectures, revision notes, past exam papers, bibliographies, timelines, and old exam papers. When relevant, I can make these available to my students to provide them with an additional learning resource.
The goal is not simply to pass on my old notes: I seek to help each student build their own working methods, knowledge and reflexes for the competitions.

History geography

History and geography played a significant role in my B/L education. I studied this subject intensively through lectures, readings, essays, notes, timelines, and research projects.
I still have my prep course materials and notes, including numerous timelines and knowledge sheets that I can share with my students. I also have past exam papers that allow us to practice what the exams are really like.
Since the B/L program is relatively stable, a significant portion of the knowledge and resources I have worked on remains directly usable for students preparing for the same exams today.
My Master 2 in History at the ENS of Lyon, dedicated to the history of Japan, also allowed me to considerably deepen my training in this discipline.
I can, in particular, support students with:
• review and structure the course;
• create effective fact sheets;
• memorize the essential timelines and knowledge;
• work on essays and compositions;
• improve introductions, issues and plans;
• analyze copies and understand the expectations of the examiners;
• to explore certain themes in greater depth beyond the course.

Letters

Literature was also an important subject in my B/L training. I obtained very good results in this discipline, with an average of around 17/20 during my preparatory year.
I still have my notes, flashcards, past papers and old copies, which I can use with students to work on both knowledge and methodology.
I can help with, among other things:
• construct an essay;
• find and formulate a problem;
• develop a plan;
• to work on the analysis and interpretation of a text;
• improve the quality of writing;
• enrich the references and examples;
• Prepare for tests and competitions.
The goal is to enable the student to understand what makes a good preparatory essay and to gradually develop their own reflexes.

Sociology

Sociology is currently one of my main areas of specialization.
I studied it during my three years of B/L before continuing in this discipline at the ENS of Lyon, where I obtained a Master 1 in sociology research.
I can therefore support students both on the knowledge of the B/L program, the understanding of authors and concepts, and on the methodology of essays and social science assignments.
My university experience also allows me to help students deepen their references and better understand the debates between authors, rather than simply memorizing fact sheets.

German — especially German civilization

I have been studying German since middle school and have regularly stayed in Germany to improve my language skills. I currently have a C1 level.
I can support B/L students in German, both in terms of language and German civilization, particularly through reviewing the course, acquiring vocabulary, preparing the topics studied, and practicing for exams.
I can also help to create culture sheets and organize knowledge so that it can be effectively used in homework.

English

I obtained the Cambridge C1 Advanced right after finishing preparatory school, and then I spent a year in Japan in an international university environment where I took courses and wrote my assignments in English.
I can support B/L students in their preparation for English exams, particularly with:
• consolidate grammar and vocabulary;
• work on comprehension and expression;
• prepare exercises specific to competitions;
• improve writing skills;
• to enrich cultural and civilizational references.

Preparation for entrance exams to the ENS and business schools

I can also offer more comprehensive support to students who wish to prepare for competitive exams.
I myself entered the ENS of Lyon through a competitive exam and was admitted to HEC and ESSEC on my first attempt.
Therefore, I can help students reflect on their organization and preparation strategy, in particular:
• planning of revisions;
• organization of the different subjects;
• preparation for mock exams;
• working with past exam papers;
• identification of weaknesses;
• methodology of the tests;
• preparation for oral presentations when relevant;
• management of the period preceding the competitions.
I can also share my practical experience of competitive exams and the transition between preparatory classes and higher education.

My way of working

As with my tutoring sessions, I tailor each session to the student's level and objectives.
Depending on the needs, a session may include:
• Resumption of the lesson: clarification of concepts and verification of knowledge;
• Working on exercises, homework or past papers: I guide the student in their reasoning without doing the work for them;
• Methodology: construction of an essay, commentary, composition or response adapted to the requirements of the preparatory course;
• Correction of papers: precise identification of points to improve and implementation of methods to progress;
• Further study: additional readings, references, knowledge or exercises for students wishing to go further;
• Organization of personal work: planning revisions, creating flashcards and effective use of past papers.
I can also provide or share, when useful, courses, notes, timelines, past papers and old copies from my own preparation.
The objective is to transmit not only knowledge, but above all a method enabling the student to gradually become autonomous and effective in the face of the demands of competitions.

Individual or small group lessons

I am also comfortable in group settings. I can support up to three students, especially when they are preparing for the same subject or exam together.
Working in small groups can be particularly useful for methodology sessions, revisions, preparing for mock exams, or analyzing student work.
Sliding scale rates per student are offered for group classes.
I can also provide occasional help with correcting homework or personal projects, at a reasonable rate.

Courses in Lyon or online

I offer face-to-face classes in Lyon or online and have the necessary equipment to ensure remote sessions under good conditions.
For home lessons, an additional charge may apply depending on the distance and time constraints.
Feel free to contact me, specifying your year of preparatory classes, the subjects involved, and your goals for the competitive exams. This will allow us to determine together the most suitable support format.
