About Me

I was born and raised in London and then at the age of 10 I moved to Egypt. I finished the remaining years of my studies in Cairo where I did various tutoring and teaching jobs. In the 11th grade I tutored a group of children in grade 3. I carried on doing so for the rest of high school, along with tutoring students between the 6th and 10th grade. After I graduated I decided to take a gap year to work and learn a new language. So that's what I did. For the first three months I learnt french here in Brussels. Soon after I moved back to Cairo for a teaching job where I worked with students with mental and behavioral issues at a local British school. Throughout that time I gave some tutoring lessons to adults who wanted to learn English as a second language. I tend to treat my students as friends rather than just pupils. Research has shown by giving the student more comfort and a voice in the classroom, he/she is more likely to succeed. I believe the best way for a student to learn is through Flipped Classroom mechanisms and visuals.

Education

American High School Diploma received in an international school in Cairo, Advanced Placement (AP), Montessori Foundation, and currently doing my first years Ba in Political Science.

Experience / Qualifications

I have tutored many students while I was in high school for about a year and a half. I have also worked at a school as a Shadow Teacher.

I am capable of teaching and lecturing on numerous historical and political events and periods in history, with myself having specialized in European history, American history, African history, as well as the Medieval period and Antiquity.

Corinne
English: pronunciation (British or American). No grammar lessons. Adults only.
I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world. English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time. I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching. We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

Elisa
English - learn by doing (from perfecting the language to teaching the basics to upgrading)
In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible. In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons. Do not hesitate to contact me for: - learn the basics - prepare for a test - have support for your lessons - practice the language - ... Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

Homework help for primary and secondary schools, Help with exam preparation
I offer my services to help your children achieve their academic goals, whether it is for the little ones who are discovering reading and writing, or for teenagers in the middle of preparing for exams. I also have experience with university students who needed a helping hand in certain subjects. Patient and attentive, I adapt to the specific needs of each student, offering them personalized support to help them progress at their own pace and with confidence. In terms of education, I followed a Preparatory Class for the Grandes Écoles in France (literature, philosophy, history, geography and languages), and obtained a bachelor's degree in English Language, Literature and Civilization. I then continued with a master's degree in British and American translation and civilization. I had the chance to work for two years at the Lycée Français Jean Monnet in Brussels, where I acquired solid experience with students of all ages and a good understanding of the expectations of the school system. I would be happy to discuss this with you and see how I can contribute to its success.

Elizaveta
MATH / ECONOMY / ENGLISH private lessons tailor-made - Support & School Coaching
Are you a student and have this anxiety about certain subjects? Do you feel that someone else speaks another language to you during the course? Are you overwhelmed by the quantity and speed of the teacher? Are you just not satisfied with your results? Are you a parent and do you feel helpless when facing your child's difficulties? Do not hesitate! I am Liza and I have been helping many students in math for over 10 years but also to relieve parents from this feeling of helplessness in the face of their children's shortcomings. Math can scare some people. I myself went through a great deal of misunderstanding until I found the method and approach necessary to fully master this dreaded class of students. I offer private lessons to students with specific shortcomings, but also to those with more general needs. My classes are tailor-made for each student. I teach from the first primary to the retho. My method is simple and effective. As a school coach, my goal is above all to understand where the difficulties come from. Each student is different, so it is important to create an effective and tailor-made work methodology. Over the years, I have developed structured and fun keys for everyone. I learned about all the school programs in Namur, but also gained experience in other countries around the world. The purpose of the first meeting is to get to know the student and determine his current level of mathematics, what are his strengths and weaknesses, and what are the goals to be achieved. That is why, during the first session I do with the student a thorough work on the methodology to adopt to facilitate the understanding of the concepts and optimize their return. On the basis of this observation, I define with the pupil and his parents an educational strategy (notions to be reviewed as a priority, working method, duration and frequency of classes) designed to best meet the student's objectives. Then I adapt and base my course on the student program while customizing it according to the student and his needs. Even though theory is very often the least appreciated part, I make sure that my student understands its usefulness in different exercises and problems. To ensure good understanding, I organize exercise sessions and tests. The duration of the course is 2 hours. I always advise 2 hours because it's the perfect time to have the time to: - Identify and fill persistent gaps - Establish effective learning methods - Incorporate reasoning mechanisms - Learn how to restore your knowledge My students greatly appreciate the organization and the clarity of my explanations. Once followed and mastered, success is assured. With Liza it is a relief for parents and a success for children.

I offer my services as a teacher particular for homework help as well as for French, Dutch and English. French being my mother tongue, I have no trouble helping people with shortcomings in this area. Furthermore, i love reading so i always try to maintain a correct vocabulary and my grammar rules. Concerning English I am of a level C1 + according to the frame common European reference point for languages. My grammar, my conjugation and my vocabulary are therefore of a very good level. English is a language that I maintain a lot thanks to my correspondents but also through the films, books, music ... Finally, for Dutch, I am B2 (still according to the framework) and my grammar and conjugation bases are solid. I can easily help people of a level beginner in learning this language. It is also a language that I maintain through book or programs but also thanks to some bilingual knowledge in my entourage. Also, patient and loving nature to teach, I can also be a help for homework or primary level work or secondary. Finally, I am very available because I will reorient myself in my studies which gives me more free time to give course.
