About Me

I am a humanities and arts enthusiast who loves to teach and share my passions with others. My personal background is in Liberal Arts at Bristol where my focus was in English Literature, History, French and Media. During this time I also spent a year studying abroad in Uppsala, Sweden where I studied comparative literature, history and languages. At Glasgow I studied Art History. I enjoy the variety offered by interdisciplinary study of the Humanities.

Throughout my education and professional experiences, I have often found myself teaching. I have worked as a dance teacher for young children and adults, a summer school instructor for children and teenagers, and a GCSE tutor. In each instance, I have always enjoyed getting to know the students in order to decipher which methods of teaching will be most appropriate for each individual in order to achieve their learning and assessment objectives. I thrive when I am able to adapt my teaching to different students’ needs in order to assure their success and confidence in the subject. Since pursuing my level 5 TEFL qualification, I have learned that this adaptability with my teaching strategies will be essential, especially for students speaking English as a second language. Another consistency I’ve found in my education and work is that I’ve often been part of an international community, with people of many different nationalities and language backgrounds. As a result, colleagues and classmates often ask for my assistance in English pronunciation, spelling and proofreading; whether this be checking the grammar and vocabulary of a text, a professional email, or a university essay. In these situations I’ve always been excited to determine the best way to explain a concept or rule of English to a second language speaker, and to offer them support and confidence in improving their English proficiency and academic writing abilities.

Having tutored GCSE students over the past academic year, I understand the importance of teaching students to follow assessment criteria and exam specifications in a manner which feels engaging and helps them develop a passion for their subjects. I am confident in assessing a student’s strengths and weaknesses in their class work, revision notes and practice assessments, and constructing study plans to best support them and help them improve their input and grades. Some students, for example, may have effective revision skills, but may not be focusing on content relevant to their exams; while others struggle to strike a balance between demonstrating their factual knowledge and analytical abilities in essay-centric subjects. I enjoy identifying these differences between each student and customising my teaching in order to help them overcome these struggles. My focus on English Language, Literature and History throughout my GCSEs, A Levels, Undergraduate and Postgraduate degrees, and Extended Project Qualification has refined my skills in essay writing. I enjoy planning, structuring and proofreading essays, as well as researching, referencing, drafting and editing coursework. I am eager to pass these skills onto my students in order to make the essay writing process more accessible and enjoyable, and to give them confidence as they progress further in their education.

I am looking forward to creating lesson plans which will create a suitable balance of studying factual course content, developing a student’s analytical abilities, and their skills in communicating their own ideas and interpretations of the course material. I am confident in teaching all exam boards of GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level English Language, Literature and History.

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.

Hola,
¿cómo estás?☺️
My name is Joana. I am a native Spanish teacher, with a degree in Spanish Literature and Language and a Master's degree in Spanish as a foreign language (UNED Faculty).
■ Since 2009 I have been working at the Cervantes Institute as an OFFICIAL EXAMINER of DELE diplomas (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language)
(I am fluent in French, so during the course I give all the necessary explanations in French on grammatical rules or vocabulary.
Having extensive teaching experience, I prepare students/adults for all levels of the DELE Spanish Diplomas and for all official Spanish exams within Universities.
● Spanish courses for adults who intend to travel or live in a Spanish-speaking country.
● Specialized fun Spanish courses for children (6-13 years old), audiovisual material, interactive games on the internet, choice of textbooks taking into account their age. Children learn the language through experiences and experiences while having fun.
● Help with school homework/exams for French students (all levels, + preparation for BTS, CNED)
● Spanish courses for adults who use Spanish in a professional context (Business Spanish: tourism/restaurants, law, etc.)
● Spanish pronunciation/phonetics/conversation courses (exercises provided by the Cervantes Institute). During my Master's degree, I specialized in Spanish phonetics for foreigners. Students can achieve a very good level of oral production even if they are beginners* :)
● Written production, grammar, oral and written comprehension.
● Spanish civilization course.
I live in Spain, so I give all my classes on Skype.
Skype classes are very flexible and as effective as face-to-face classes! (100% success rate for all Cervantes Institute DELE diplomas and all university exams!)
■ COMPLETE learning materials provided to all my students according to their personal level/age/interests (DELE preparation manual, grammar book, pronunciation guide, notes, mp3 audios)

I will be happy to read from you.

A greeting,
Joana :) 👩🏻‍🏫🇪🇸

My goal is simple: to make math understandable in a clear and logical way. Many students think they are "bad at math," when they simply need different and structured explanations.

During my classes, we work on:

The fundamental basics (calculation, fractions, equations)
Algebra
Functions
Geometry
Trigonometry
Probability (school level)
Preparing for tests and exams

I adapt to each student's level and pace. I explain step by step and provide simple methods for solving exercises effectively.

The goal is not just to pass a test, but to truly understand the logic behind mathematics.

This class is designed for children and beginners who want to start learning Italian in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment. As a native Italian speaker who grew up in Italy and now studies in the United States, I help students learn the language in a natural and clear way. Lessons focus on basic vocabulary, pronunciation, simple grammar, and conversation, using interactive activities, games, and real-life examples to keep students motivated and involved. Each lesson is adapted to the student’s age, level, and learning style, helping them build confidence while developing strong foundations in Italian. My goal is to make learning enjoyable while helping students feel comfortable speaking and understanding the language.
