Italian lessons for all levels and all needs! Lezioni di italiano per tutti i livelli e per ogni esigenza!

51 £ /h

Si offrono lezioni di Italiano personalizzate, in base alle esigenze e alle preferenze dell'allievo.
Mi rendo disponibile sia a chi vuole cominciare a scoprire questa lingua, sia a chi possiede già un buon livello di conoscenza dell'Italiano e desidera perfezionarlo.
E' importante poter comunicare sin da subito in Italiano, indipendentemente dal livello di conoscenza da cui si comincia; proprio per questo le lezioni sono principalmente in Italiano e pongono particolare attenzione al lessico.
Le mie lezioni si rivolgono inoltre a chi sta scrivendo "papers" (tesi di laurea, testi universitari, conferenze, articoli, mail di lavoro) e ha bisogno di correzioni, feedback o di un commento.
Per chi conosce bene l'Italiano e desiderasse studiare o approfondire un particolare autore o un testo letterario, sono disponibile per analisi, letture e lezioni specifiche sul tema richiesto.

I am offering personalized Italian lessons, based on the needs and preferences of the student.
I am available both to those who want to start discovering this language and to those who already have a good level of knowledge of Italian and wish to master it.
It is important to be able to communicate right from the start in Italian, regardless of the level of knowledge you are beginning from; for this very reason, lessons are mainly in Italian and place particular emphasis on dialogue.
My lessons are also aimed at those who are writing “papers” (dissertations, university texts, conferences, articles, work emails) and need corrections, feedback or commentary.
For those who know Italian well and would like to study or explore a particular author or literary text, I am available for analysis, readings and specific lessons on the required topic.

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?"

Arabic lessons and necessary skills such as reading, writing, listening, speaking and grammar for non-Arabic speakers adults and children from the age of seven, I am fluent in Standard Arabic, English and a bit of Turkish, so if you are interested in learning Arabic, the Holy Qur’an or Egyptian colloquial, you are now in the right place and I am sure I can Helping you, this is my specialty. I also love this specialty, I love working as a teacher, and I have the skills of presentation, presentation, explanation and helping others
In the first level, you study some vocabulary through listening and watching. Then you study letters and word formation, then you form some simple sentences and use them in simple conversations in an interactive, attractive and enjoyable way. You can express yourself from the first day of study.
There is a progression in level until we reach higher levels and find yourself speaking fluently, reading quickly and understanding everything you hear.

For some students, homework help in the evening (over a fairly short period of time, often an hour from time to time is enough to create a method that allows the student to improve their work by themselves) may be a necessity.
What can also be useful is the deepening of the lessons through small exercises and clarification on the gray points of the courses.
What I am proposing here is this help, multidisciplinary until the start of middle school, then, in middle school or high school, in all subjects with the exception of mathematics and possibly physics.
I can particularly help in French, history geography, English, SVT, Spanish and geopolitics.

The purpose of this course ranges from the simple explanation, reformulation and relearning of a misunderstood course to the development of the student in a given discipline.
To do this, I do multiple application exercises, followed by corrections and more theoretical parts if necessary.

Is artificial intelligence just for adults? No!

A course for children and teenagers who already see AI in Netflix, games or ChatGPT and want to understand what it is, how it "thinks" and how to use it without getting into trouble.

In class, the student acts as a detective:
• Myth Busters: What is real AI and what just looks like AI
• Train a toy AI: simple examples of machine learning (data, hits, biases)
• Asks its first well-formulated questions to a generative tool for a short story or image
• Learn the rules at home and at school: privacy, copying homework, what not to paste into a tool

You don't need to know how to program.

It's good enough to test things out. If it works out, we'll continue with projects (stories, art, games) at its own pace.

Recommended age: 10–14 years. Also 8–9 if they read fluently and can handle an online class; 15–17 if they want to start from scratch with a critical mind, not just "try ChatGPT".

As an experienced teacher, I offer demanding and tailored support in mathematics.

I work with a limited number of students to ensure close monitoring and rapid results. My work is aimed at motivated students who want to make significant progress and consolidate their knowledge in the long term.

Each support program begins with a thorough assessment, then is structured around a structured process: understanding concepts, rigor of reasoning and methodology.

The sessions are intensive, personalized, and results-oriented.

Don't stay stuck: let's learn to master mathematics with method and rigor.
