Great teacher!

Don't think twice, just book ! Fay is an unbelievable tutor who has been helping my son with Eng LAL Internal Oral journey. Whilst we initially expected a supplement to his current teacher, to our surprise Fay has added a totally new dimension and dynamic which is evident in my son's approach and confidence towards the task. We look forward to also leveraging her experience for the pending exams.
Fay gave an excellent explanation of the English Language and Literature curriculum for IB exams. She put me at ease and I am happy to be learning with her and confident her teaching skills will be very beneficial to me.
Great teacher. Appreciated her insightful lesson.
Alright

French private lessons by university graduate in Letters
Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to: - consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling - improve their language skills (allophone students) - improve their speaking skills (conversation classes) -profect the written expression - prepare for ECR exams - prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion) - help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation - work on argumentative texts - acquire a method to analyze literary texts - learn how to perform bibliographic research The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing. For help with writing: The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson. For analyzes of oral literary texts: In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage. For the corrections of end of studies work: so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting. Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone. For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages. For adults (FLE): In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website). The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling. Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Catherine
English teacher for adults/children and adults
From a young age, I learned English by studying in language schools and taking private lessons with native speakers. I also prepared for international exams such as IELTS, as well as the Ukrainian national exam at the end of my studies (which is probably similar to the exam you take in France after high school). This allowed me to understand the intricacies of preparing for English exams. I have extensive experience in learning a new language quickly and effectively. For over two years, I have been teaching English to my students, passing on my expertise. My teaching method combines an initial interview and a grammar dictation, which allows me to determine your level. Then, together we develop a program adapted to your needs. I want my students to understand that learning English can be fun and engaging! About the course: I draw my materials from various books that I have used myself and I can guarantee clear and quality explanations. I also develop some exercises myself. Together we will define your level, your objectives and your preferences, in order to choose the format that suits you best. Then we will embark on an English learning journey!

Bishoy
Math teacher for students from 7 years old till 18 years old, or for adults whose interested in learning math
I'm an engineer, and I really enjoy teaching mathematics in an easy and simplified way, without any complexity. I have a skill for conveying information effortlessly. I understand that mathematics is a challenge for many people, but we’ll make it one of the easiest and most enjoyable subjects. Once you understand mathematics and know how to solve problems, it becomes one of the most enjoyable and rewarding subjects for you, and you won't want to study anything else. I explain and repeat once, twice, even three times until you understand well. The most important things for me are your focus and getting the homework done. We'll explain in multiple ways until the concept reaches you and you fully understand it. Of course, during the session, we’ll go through lots of examples together.
