Private tutoring at home in English, history, geography and philosophy
History, philosophy, geography, and geopolitics are passions of mine that allow me to better understand the world we live in. These are hobbies I pursue, mostly in English, a language I speak fluently thanks to my international friendships, my travels, and my daily practice.
Beforehand, I research the curriculum and methodology required for the national assessments and exams in each subject. I immerse myself in the course material as if I were studying it for the first time. This approach allows me to identify the difficulties students might encounter and the questions they might ask. Next, I create a summary sheet for each section of the curriculum. Once this step is complete, I meticulously plan the sessions to ensure that the student finishes the curriculum by the end of the year.
During the first lesson, I introduce myself to the student and ask them to tell me about themselves (their hobbies, what they would like to do later). I ask for their opinion on the subject matter and how their teacher teaches, so I can use the same methods. I give them an online test to determine their learning profile. This helps me know what type of learning materials to use to ensure the student understands the material best.
For subsequent lessons, I begin by reviewing the notes the student has taken since our last meeting. I go over these notes with the student, answer their questions, and provide additional information. I then move on to homework and conclude with practice for the Brevet or Baccalaureate exams at the end of the lesson, including corrections. I do not assign homework in order to avoid overloading the students.
I pay particular attention to connecting students' passions to the subjects I teach. That's why I use modern resources, especially videos, modern art, websites, and pop culture, to best engage students.
Highly empathetic, I easily create a bond with students and I am able to give them advice regarding their career path.
Outside of class, students can contact me by phone or email if they have a question or specific concerns, particularly regarding homework.
Hope to meet you !
