José Luis
Spanish tutor in Marbella and former journalist get you Spanish to another level
José L., heading the project embrujoastellano.es, have a large experience teaching the spanish language. Curious, tech lovers, flexibles, with a great sense of humour. He speaks english, portuguese and, of course, spanish. Large life experience in Latin American countries. He is specialized on spanish online teaching (using platforms such as Zoom or Skype) delivering lessons in an online environment since 2012. His experience through Iberoamérica, based for many years in Brazil, Colombia or México, gave him the opportunity to make a deep study, not only of the own language, but also about the culture and their local expressions (slangs, different ways to talk, regionalisms, idiom meaning or technical terms). Get to know our his methodology. After more than 10 years of life experience in Latin América (being from Spain), and other 5 in english speaking countries, doubtless, it helps us to understand better the connexions of a such a rich language, with differents aspects, meanings, logic and sense in only one language. A multicultural experience full of anecdotes, traditions, gastronomy and so much more...

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
