About Me

Hi to all students looking to learn English or maths/science!

I am a UK-born and raised, biomedical science graduate currently living in Sweden. I teach science and mathematics students of all ages. As a side project for my science students I created a fun "gruesome biology" lesson plan (focusing on viruses/bacteria/parasites) which has encouraged students to develop a greater interest in science.

In the past I tutored English literature, mechanical mathematics, biology and physics to children between the ages of 11 and 16, raising their grades by a minimum of two levels from an average C to an A in most cases. I have also tutored children under 11 and provided mentoring for other students over 18.

I believe with the right kind of teaching process, any student is capable of meeting and exceeding their learning expectations, therefore I aim to tailor my teaching methods to cater to individuals using study methods that work best on a case-by-case basis.

Academically I hold two bachelor degrees, one in public relations (BA) which was accredited by the Institute of Public Relations in England, the second a bachelor of science in biomedicine (BSc), completed in Sweden. I also have a Masters of Science in Integrated Health Science (MSc).

On the side, I have completed courses within the renewable energy sector including wind power, solar energy and impacts of climate change. In addition I took courses relating to behavioural change and motivation. I am also trained in dance with classical ballet my specialty.

My methodology is to teach each student based on their own preferential learning styles. Humour, stimulating discussion and structured/sequential learning pathways are how I would best describe this

Hello,

First and foremost, I would like to wish you a warm welcome back to school and a peaceful year ahead as you work towards your goals. I am aware that the economic situation can sometimes be challenging, which is why I offer my services to accompany your child throughout their academic journey with ease and serenity.

Throughout my career as a Graduate Teacher and Graduate Professional Coach, I have worked in various contexts. Until last year, I taught in front of whole classes as well as in private lessons. Since this year, I have been providing face-to-face private lessons at home and also via video conferencing, a mode of teaching that I have practiced with university students for the past ten years.

My teaching environment has undergone significant changes, especially with the emergence of the Covid pandemic. This shift has led our secondary school students to adapt to the new mode of learning and communication, namely video conferencing. Despite the success of this transition, it is important to acknowledge that our younger students still require attention and a psycho-emotional connection in order to develop their autonomy peacefully.

Over the past two decades, I have implemented proven methodological approaches, some of which are borrowed from theater techniques, such as the Davis method (mind mappings/colors), and my specialty, professional coaching, which aims to enhance your child's motivation. My main goal is to foster agility in your child across all subjects, not only for the present but also for their future when I will no longer be by their side.

Ultimately, my objective goes beyond simply focusing on gaining points in a subject. I firmly believe in this approach due to my experience as a Mental Coach working with young athletes between Nice and Cannes, as well as throughout Europe via video conferencing, as part of their preparation for the French Tennis Championships. It has reinforced my conviction that working on a subject should be a nurtured objective that encompasses personal growth and development.

As a Professor in General Education, specializing mainly in scientific subjects, I suggest supporting your child in gaining agility in constructing their academic path during this unique period that is filled with both opportunities and challenges.

Looking forward to meeting you soon,
Corinne.

SVT, or Science of Life and Earth (biology and geology), is a very specific scientific subject. It requires students to have both good scientific fundamentals (logic, rigour, depth of analysis), and an understanding of phenomena affecting the Earth, the human body and the planet. But it also requires an ability to reuse all of this within a well-written development, so a certain ease in argumentation!

Our home lessons allow support adapted to the student's objectives:

face comprehension difficulties,
improve the application of knowledge in exercises and homework,
gain in efficiency thanks to the ad hoc methodology.
The student may encounter difficulties in understanding or applying the course from middle school. Nevertheless, in high school, the pace quickens and the requirements increase, especially with the SVT specialty in first class.

My lessons are incredibly flexible, and I structure the lesson around fixing my students' misconceptions. This includes teaching a new topic from scratch or focusing on specific areas of difficulty depending on my students’ requirements.

I begin by assessing how well a student's level of initial understanding is. From there, I teach the lesson by explaining concepts, drawing diagrams, and using PowerPoints I've created beforehand. If my student struggles to grasp a concept, I explain it again and correct their mistakes. Finally, we cover exam questions to help mark the level of progress. I will always provide very honest feedback and give my students optional homework tasks for their independent learning.

I often find many students struggle with exam techniques. This is a very common challenge, especially at A-Level, as these techniques are vital to successfully answering application questions. Therefore, regularly practicing these skills via past papers and practice questions together really helps them achieve their goals.

I'd like to start by greeting everyone who is reading this and then briefly discuss the teachings I'm providing. Going to medical school is a major step, and while becoming a doctor may have been a big dream of yours, things unfortunately didn't turn out the way you had hoped. You didn't receive what you eagerly want following your bac. I'm here to tell you that earning your bac is just the first step on a longer journey. You have another opportunity to fulfill your lifelong ambitions. What role do I play in this? as someone who has been in your position and ultimately obtained what I want. We will have a customized plan that fulfills your needs, we will correct any unsuccessful methods and build new ones, and I will lead you through the program at every stage.

Need help with maths or biology?
As a biomedical scientist with a PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences, I enjoy helping students of all ages to better understand the material and learn with greater confidence. We work at your own pace and in a way that suits your learning style.

How does a lesson work?
In the first session, we identify the main difficulties together. From there, we build up step by step. I encourage questions and provide practical tips and strategies to make studying more effective.

We work through exercises together, discuss examples, and then move on to more challenging problems to deepen understanding. This approach ensures you’re well prepared for your tests and exams.

A positive learning experience
Learning should be enjoyable. With a patient, motivating and clear approach, I create a relaxed environment where it’s okay to make mistakes, and no question is too much to ask — because that’s how real learning happens.

Interested?
Feel free to get in touch for more information or to arrange your first lesson. I’ll be happy to help you move forward!
