About Me

My enthusiasm for teaching started at a young age. I was a curious kid who had many personal projects on the go. I even ran an after school Hogwarts program where I led potion making classes from my mum’s bathroom. I loved filling my brain with random facts and had a natural way of explaining them in ways that captured people’s attention. As I grew older, I realized that my enthusiasm for learning was contagious. To share my passion with others, I decided to become an educator.

Throughout my teaching career, I have been on a mission to transform education systems and pedagogical practices with the goal of lending students the competencies they need to survive and thrive in an ever-changing global world. I have never considered myself a ¨teacher¨ but rather a mentor. My goal as an educator has always been to inspire, to guide, to coach, to support, and to care for my students. I strive to create environments where students want to learn rather than have to learn. I want them to own their learning, to be self-directed learners who explore their talents, take risks, think for themselves, and tackle projects of their own.

After a few years as a classroom teacher, I started questioning our education system and my role in it. I loved the energy of the classroom, but I knew I had big ideas and strategies that would allow for more students to be autonomous and have opportunities to explore their curiosities than just those of my classroom.

When the opportunity presented itself, I decided to leave the classroom and become an Instructional Coach. For the last 4 years, I have been on a mission to support teachers in empowering our students to be agents of their learning. I do this by collaborating with educators to design student experiences that are inquiry-based and project based.

Within that time, I chose to uproot my life and move from Canada to Spain with the goal of taking my vision further from home. Before that, I lived in Uganda and had the pleasure of visiting local schools, gaining an understanding of the enduring legacies of inequity in education that colonialism and the Scramble for Africa have left behind. My long term goal is to assist in decolonising education systems in the global south with the objective of providing equitable access to quality education for all children.

Native English Teacher available for adults and K-12 students (BA, BEd, MEd)

36 £ /h

I am a native English speaker from Vancouver, Canada and am also fluent in French and have a beginner understanding of Spanish.
I currently work as an Instructional Coach at a local International School here in Barcelona.

In the past, I have taught online adult English classes for Education First and I have also worked with children who are refugees in both Uganda and Canada. My role was a combination of accustoming newcomers to their new country and providing English language learning services.

For the last 5 years, I have worked in the field of GIfted and Talented Education. Three years ago, I left the classroom to pursue my passion for training teachers in innovative and changing pedagogical practices.

Please contact me if you are interested in having a conversation about your needs for you or your child's English language learning journey.

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.

Homework support isn't about getting answers faster. It's about learning how to learn.
While some parents see homework as a battle, I see an opportunity: teaching your child how his brain actually works.

In this class, your child will learn:
✓ How to actually study: not "work harder," but use methods that stick (mind maps, spaced repetition, Pomodoro technique)
✓ Time management without stress: organizing a chaotic schedule without anxiety apps
✓ When to use AI wisely: ChatGPT and other tools as learning partners, not cheating shortcuts
✓ Skills that matter: clear communication, problem-solving like a real thinker, asking good questions
✓ Support in any subject: math, languages, science, humanities, whatever they struggle with

How it works:
We start by understanding how your child actually learns, we don't impose a system that doesn't work for him.
Then we build a toolkit: proven study methods, personal strategies, technology used intelligently, and the confidence that he can learn anything.

What they take home:
A study system that works for him, not for others. Techniques he uses across all subjects. And something more important: the belief that learning isn't something that happens to him — it's something he controls.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Personalized to his age, subjects, and pace.
For parents wondering "Why is homework still a battle?"

Let's rebuild the foundation

My approach follows a common structured logic:
define the objective → diagnose the current situation → identify constraints → select the appropriate methodology → build the plan → execute → monitor → evaluate → communicate the result → improve

We can work with your research proposal, thesis plan, supervisor feedback, conceptual framework, questionnaire, methodology chapter, project schedule, WBS, risk register, MS Project or Primavera file, CV, job description, interview questions, or professional-development challenge.

I do not simply provide generic templates or ready-made answers. I help you understand why a method or strategy fits your situation, what assumptions it depends on, how to evaluate alternatives, how to detect weaknesses, and how to defend the final decision clearly.

Academic and professional integrity are essential. I provide teaching, methodological guidance, critical feedback, analytical support, planning, coaching, and supervision-style mentoring. I do not write assessed theses or dissertations, complete examinations, fabricate research results, or misrepresent a student’s or professional’s experience.

My goal is to help you become the genuine owner of your research, project, or professional path—able to explain your decisions, manage complexity, communicate clearly, and move forward independently.
