My methodology: Learning to structure one's thoughts to express oneself better
My approach is based on a simple observation: success is not achieved through lack of effort, but often through a lack of method and confidence. My role is to transform subjects sometimes perceived as abstract (Philosophy, French) or intimidating (English) into concrete tools for success.
The typical course of a session:
1. Quick diagnosis: We start by identifying the areas of uncertainty from the previous lesson or the difficulties with a specific exercise.
2. Taking action: No boring lectures! We work on concrete exercises, essay plans or oral practice (in English) to "learn by doing".
3. The "Montreal Method": Having worked for two and a half years in Quebec, I use a North American pedagogy that is very focused on encouragement, clear structure and student autonomy.
4. Summary & Objectives: We end each session with a recap of the key points so that the student knows exactly what to revise.
What makes the difference: As a philosophy student, I don't just teach authors; I teach the methodology that allows students to think for themselves about major philosophical concepts. In English, my dual nationality allows me to naturally correct speech patterns and accents. In French, I've had the privilege of preparing dozens of students for their Baccalaureate exams, using a targeted approach. My experience has taught me that there are no wrong answers, only ideas that need to be better formulated.

About Me
Who am I and why do I teach?
Currently a Philosophy student at university, I am passionate about teaching. For me, teaching is not just about transmitting knowledge, it's about giving students the keys to self-confidence. Franco-British and recently returned to France after four years in Canada, I bring an international and dynamic dimension to my courses, whether in English, French, or Philosophy.
My experience and my method:
My approach was honed over two and a half years in Quebec, working for the company Tuteur Match in Montreal. There, I mentored dozens of students with diverse backgrounds, both in French high schools and within the Quebec school system. This North American experience taught me a dynamic and supportive working method:
Adaptability: I always start from the student's needs (methodological blocks, lack of confidence or need for further study).
Structure: As a philosophy student, I help my students clarify their thinking and structure their writing rigorously.
Immersion: In English, I favour natural exchange to unlock oral skills.
What kind of teacher am I?
I am a patient, organized, and encouraging teacher. I enjoy working with curious students or those who think they "aren't suited for this subject": I love proving them wrong! My ultimate goal is to make you independent so you can approach your exams (Baccalaureate, language tests) with confidence.
