Trusted teacher: Have you decided to homeschool or go on a world tour with your child? Did you think being a teacher and parent was easy but it turns out to be more difficult than expected? Are you afraid of rushing your child, of damaging the relationship you have with him or you don't feel like a teacher or are not sure of your knowledge? I can help you ! Certified Classics teacher, I taught French and Latin in middle school for eight years at all levels, namely high-potential, dyslexic or struggling children or non-French-speaking children from various cultures. Before and during my teaching years, I gave private lessons and tutored children who wanted to prepare for French exams, who could not read, or who wanted to learn ancient Greek. Then I went on a world tour. Traveling for three years, I met on my way families who traveled around the world, others who had settled abroad and were schooling at home and I also approached other teaching methods such as the Waldorf method (Steiner). I offer tutoring for your child in French, history-geography, English and/or Spanish. I am also able to offer an opening to science and art. I am aware of the difficulties presented by schooling at home and while traveling and myself introduced to various innovative educational practices and open to the world, I am an exciting resource for your child. I particularly like project-based teaching, so why not build learning with your child based on carrying out projects based on what they experience at home or while traveling? Teaching is done online using Zoom. During the first lesson, we get to know each other and I take note of your expectations and needs as well as your child's personality, his tastes and desires and the framework in which you want this teaching to take place. The qualities of organization, rigor, kindness, adaptability and creativity that are mine have allowed me to successfully teach all types of audiences and I look forward to being able to build a personalized course with your child !

The variety of topics and subjects we can cover will vary depending on the interest of the student.

If you are interested in taking Art History & Archaeology lessons for fun or for your studies, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss further options. Thank you, Rubén M.

Ancient Greek and Latin tutor for all ages and levels (Amsterdam)
Francesca
I worked with Francesca for improving my ancient Greek reading and I find the lessons useful and fun. She is flexible to different types of learning styles and has a structured way of tutoring. She prepares nice exercises and motivates me to achieve more in my self-study. I recommend Francesca!

Rubén
Ruben is very nice, patient and professional! He is coming to my house for private lessons and i already learned a lot. He makes the lessons fun and motivating and gives useful explanations that an app just can‘t provide. I‘m looking forward to keep studying with him and improve my spanish.

Isobel
Isobel is a wonderful teacher. My son cannot wait for the lesson to start and he picked up so much in just 4 lessons. It is the best choice we could have made!
