Student of Scientific Terminal offers help for school work in French during this particular period. My goal is to be as attentive as possible to your expectations and I will be completely able to adapt.
I benefit from a great experience and have already been able to support many pupils of all ages (CE1, CM2, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd) whether it is for a particular subject or for more general help or simply to help motivation and confidence of the young person. I am also used to helping the students in my class in their understanding.
I have always appreciated French and literature a lot and obtained excellent marks in this subject in the baccalaureate last year (19 oral and 20 written).
It can also take the form of learning French as a foreign language. Having learned four foreign languages myself, I am passionate about this objective and will take great pleasure in helping you achieve it.
Feel free to contact me for more information !

Have you dreamt of reading Shakespeare and making sense of his words ? Did you know that some Shakespearian plays are easier to tackle than others ? In this class we will be looking at one of Shakespeare's fantasy comedies or one of his tragedies. We will read the play together and discuss the usage of words, as well as its historical contexts. We will study the most important passages in the way they have influenced world culture. I encourage my students to memorise these passages by heart, a gratifying experience.

Currently in dual History-Spanish license in Sorbonne, I offer support or advanced courses in Spanish. These courses can concern the purely linguistic aspect as well as the literary aspect or even civilization courses if the student is interested.
Native Spanish, I master this Language at C2 level and am very close to this culture.
I had my bac S mention Very good, and my passage in CPGE B / L in Nancy allowed me to develop a great capacity for work and widened my knowledge.
Dynamic and interested, I will be able to transmit this taste to make learning easier and effective.

Hello!!! I would be thrilled to have you for student. We offer Spanish and Italian lessons at a native level and always make sure to keep a high-quality learning. Do you need a last minute lesson to prepare you for an examination? Do you wish to improve your language level rapidly and efficiently? Are you moving soon to Spain or Italy ? Do you need to prepare yourself for an interview? Well, you have chosen the right teacher! :-) I can make you discover the Spanish/Italian culture through the lessons and make sure that you will be able to speak properly Spanish/Italian once in Spain/Italy (or who knows Brazil... ;-) ).

* Students taking their IB/ GCSEs/ A-Levels or other exams can be guaranteed to get the top grades (but you also need to do your homework and revise your notes ;-) ). I can also help students at the university in business, economics...

* Students who are willing to learn Spanish/Italian for fun, let's do it! I can make the lessons fun for you and we can talk about many subjects.

You have got a question? I'm waiting for you to send me a message. No questions? You can directly book your first lesson and I'll do my best to give you your desired time slot. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

I am happy to teach any level speaker, I can also specialise in conversational English or really help with the grammar foreign speakers can struggle with. I am also a former literature student who can help with English Literature comprehension too. I have a lot of great resources and experience, and would love to additionally share films, books and English culture with my students.

Literature is part of our daily lives, and I'm not just talking about books, the classics we study in class. I'm talking about everything we read, even unconsciously, when we're simply "living," leaving the house, or on our phone.
This course, which attempts to break away from the somewhat conventional, even boring, side of literature learned at school, offers a new, tailor-made vision for pupils and students, to reconnect with literature in a less hostile way. Adopt a less academic, but effective, methodology. Learn in a much more fun way. Use your own passions as an educational and creative force.

- If you are an adult (outside of school or university) and you are interested in literature, I am also here for you! Whether you want to have access to reading advice, to knowledge relating to the issues of the various literary movements that have followed one another, or concerning particular genres, works or authors, I would be happy to offer you stimulating, interactive, personalized courses that meet your specific expectations.

- More generally, if spelling, syntax and grammar are giving you trouble, I can also help you.

The literature course will adapt to your needs and will aim to help you progress, to help you understand the mechanisms of French literature but also to show you all its beauty in a dynamic way!
So I give two-hour courses for this.

A course to learn Spanish based on documents from Hispanic and Latin American culture (films, music, literature, comics). A dynamic course, at your own pace. Immerse yourself in the world of Spanish: its culture, its stories, its musical richness.
