About Me

I am a polymath, I am majoring in chemistry but I am also interested in theoretical physics, sustainable development, permaculture & regenerative agriculture, music, video games as narratives, and linguistics.
I am also a polyglot, I have studied over 30 languages, the ones that I am most comfortable speaking are English, German, French, Polish, Danish and Latin.
I believe that anyone is capable of learning vast amounts of information, given the right approach. I strive to find the right approach to my students and explain abstract ideas in terms that anyone can understand.
I like to combine knowledge from different, seemingly disparate fields and find analogies and parallels between them, and I hope to show my students the beauty of these parallels that tie together so many different areas of learning.

Living Latin through Comprehensible Input (Contemporary and Medieval Latin)

19 £ /h

You will learn Latin the way it was meant to be learned - through conversation! Medieval scholars and contemporary language researchers alike advocate the use of dialogues and comprehensible input for language acquisition, and it most certainly works! As opposed to the "memorise grammar rules and then babble them in front of the class" approach that was demonstrated by the infamous "Romanēs eunt domus" scene from Monty Python's "The Life of Brian", you will learn to feel the grammar, so that you will be able to use the different cases of Latin without even thinking about it, just like a native speaker!
For this class we will be using the following books, depending on the learner's level:
Hans Øreberg's "Lingua Latīna per sē Illustrāta"
"Corderiī Colloquia"
Erasmus Rask's "Colloquia Familiaria"
John C. Traupman Conversational Latin for Oral Proficiency
I will be the collocutor and I will answer the learner's questions and explain certain oddities solely in Latin (I will use a second language only when the situation calls for it)
We will also engage in free-form conversations, discussions of the dialogues, of our life experiences etc so that the learner can apply what they learn to real-life situations and expand their vocabulary

High-school Chemistry (A-levels, GCSE, problem walkthrough & practice)

16 £ /h

You will learn the syllabus necessary to pass A-levels, GCSE's, and after that we will walk through past exam papers together. Your homework will include solving similar problems and practice problems on your own, the solutions will be reviewed at the start of each subsequent lesson.

Are you preparing for the Lebanese Baccalaureate and can follow the steps, but don’t know why they work? This class is for Grade 10 to 12 students who want to understand Math and Physics, not just memorize them.

I’m a PhD candidate in mechanical engineering with a Diplôme d’Ingénieur and 5 years of teaching experience. We start with a problem you find difficult, and I find exactly where your reasoning breaks. Then we work together, like colleagues, to understand the method and connect it to real life or to something you care about.

You will learn to:
Understand the reason behind each method
Solve unfamiliar questions on your own
Apply what you learn to past official exam questions
Feel calmer and more confident before exams
Make a clearer decision about your university path

AI can now solve almost any homework problem in seconds. But it won’t sit your exam for you. In this class, you learn how to study, how to think through new problems, and how to use tools like AI to reach your own goals.

Hi! If physics is giving you a hard time and you are preparing for your GCSE or IGCSE exams under AQA, Edexcel, or OCR boards, I am here to help you take things from scratch and build complete confidence.
Here is how we go through the entire learning journey together:

Starting from the Basics: When we begin a new topic—whether it is forces, electricity, waves, or energy—we don't just jump into memorizing definitions. We start right from the very basics, breaking down what the concept actually means using simple, real-world logic.

Interactive Visual Learning: During our online session, we work on a shared digital whiteboard. I draw clean diagrams, circuit layouts, and ray optics step by step right in front of you so you can clearly visualize what is happening instead of just imagining it from a book.

Tackling Numericals: Physics formulas and calculations scare many students. We practice numerical problems slowly, learning how to rearrange formulas, substitute values correctly, and check units step by step until solving them becomes second nature.

Exam & Past Paper Practice: Once we finish a chapter, we immediately move to exam-style questions and past papers. We review how examiners mark answers, how to phraseexplanations properly, and how to manage time so you feel fully prepared and calm on your actual exam day.

Drop me a message anytime, and let's talk about which topics you want us to start working on together!
