About Me
I’m a Netherlands (NL)-based educator with 5+ years of classroom and online teaching experience. I help students in Theology & Religious Studies (biblical studies, hermeneutics, church history, comparative religion, ethics) and strengthen their academic writing—from research questions and outlines to citations and final polish.
My lessons are structured and practical: a short mini-lesson, guided close reading/argument work, and clear action points after every session.
Currently, I am teaching Theology/Religious Studies to students in Ireland, UK and India.
I’ve taught English and Economics at high-school level and tutored learners internationally, so I’m comfortable adapting to different curricula and deadlines.
Lessons are in English, online or in person by arrangement in NL.

The type of course I teach is intended to clarify the difficulties related to the understanding and production of philosophical texts. "How should I approach this philosophical problem or text?" In what philosophical and historical context does this issue/problem fit? "What texts should I read?" How should I read them?" "How should I organize the information?" to communicate philosophical ideas?" are some of the questions I can help you solve.

Do you want to discover Christianity, better understand the Bible, deepen your knowledge of the Christian faith, or even give your children a foundation of moral values?
I offer courses for children, teenagers and adults who wish to explore the foundations of Christianity in a caring, respectful and question-free environment.
My personal journey has allowed me to discover different religious beliefs and traditions before choosing to follow Jesus Christ. I grew up in an environment marked by traditional African beliefs, then I attended the Catholic Church for several years before embarking on a personal faith journey as a born-again Christian.
Together, we will be able to address:
- The foundations of the Christian faith;
- The person and teachings of Jesus Christ;
- Reading and understanding the Bible;
- The main Christian doctrines;
- The history of Christianity;
- The differences between the main Christian traditions;
- A comparative introduction to the major religions and belief systems.
The courses are tailored to each participant's level and interests. My goal is to help everyone understand Christianity in a clear, respectful, and accessible way.

Hello,

I offer private lessons in mathematics (for middle and high school students up to the first year of high school), in English (from primary school to high school), as well as in French and philosophy (for high school and middle school students).

I am currently a third-year undergraduate student in a double degree program in philosophy and sociology at the University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA), and I am on an Erasmus semester abroad (where I am taking courses entirely in English) from September to mid-January. During this semester, I am therefore primarily available for online classes.

From mid-January, I will be able to offer face-to-face classes again, mainly in Clermont-Ferrand and, depending on the location, in Beaumont, Cournon-d'Auvergne, Chamalières and Aubière.

Distance learning courses can be supplemented by occasional exchanges via email, SMS or WhatsApp to facilitate organization, follow-up and transmission of information between sessions.

I have a demanding and versatile scientific background: baccalaureate with scientific specializations Mathematics, Physics-Chemistry and Life and Earth Sciences (with highest honors), then a year in a BCPST scientific preparatory class.
This dual skill allows me to combine technical rigor and a flexible educational approach.

My current experiences with diverse school audiences, through individualized and certified support at AFEV Auvergne and group homework help sessions with the Coup de Pouce association and first aid, have allowed me to develop a structured methodology, based on the consolidation of basics, active listening and progressive empowerment.

In my experience, this approach could suit your child's needs, particularly in learning to adapt their pace and work capacity.

I am happy to offer an initial diagnostic assessment session, in order to establish a work plan targeted to your child's specific difficulties.

I remain at your disposal for any further information.

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

With a master's degree in philosophy and experience as a teacher, I offer personalized courses to understand major philosophical concepts and effectively prepare for the baccalaureate exams.

Students will learn to analyze a topic precisely, formulate a problem statement, develop a well-reasoned argument, and engage with authors without simply reciting their notes. We will work on essay writing, text analysis, philosophical culture, and written and oral expression.

Each session is tailored to the student's level, difficulties, and objectives. Using concrete topics, texts, and their own work, I help them acquire a solid methodology, develop their critical thinking skills, and formulate their own thoughts with clarity and rigor.

The courses are aimed at high school students preparing for the baccalaureate, students following the HLP teaching as well as adults wishing to discover or deepen their knowledge of philosophy.

I invite you to discuss your objectives and challenges in order to develop a teaching method and techniques that meet your expectations. The course is based on dialogue and mutual trust: it depends on the subject matter being taught, but above all on your desires and goals.
For the past fifteen years, I have taught philosophy, history and political science in various contexts: at university, in high school, in adult education programs, and by giving private lessons to French speakers and non-French speakers.

In the three disciplines offered, my courses aim to enable you to acquire the essential knowledge and methods, and to develop your skills in an individualized way.

I would be happy to support you in preparing for the Baccalaureate, in philosophy and in HGGSP.
