    Philosophy Classes with a French-Australian polymath

    I offer classes of Philosophy to students interested in taking them for three main reasons :
    1/ They want to learn more about specific topics out of curiosity. In this case, I would be available to write short essays or articles on topics of their choice.
    2/ They are preparing for the French Baccalaureate or the IB and would want to improve certain aspects of the methodology they are currently using when analysing texts or writing essays and dissertations...
    3/ They want a private lesson on a specific author or concept.

    As a way of background, I have graduated from UCL (University College London) with a highly interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree in Arts and Sciences in June 2021 (First Class Honours) -- as well as from La Sorbonne in June 2022 with two BAs (one in Literature and another in Philosophy). I am currently undertaking a Master of Philosophy at La Sorbonne.

    I make sure to tailor my lessons to the student's needs and am always willing to share my passion with fellow readers and pupils.

    Please feel free to get in touch for any extra information. The price of the session may vary depending on the type of course I am required to organise.

    Extra information

    I can deliver classes both in English and French, as I am fluent in both.
    I will send you a document to ask more information about your expectations, your level and the potential exams you are preparing for.

    About Me

    I am a patient and passionate teacher. I love helping my students out, listening to what they have to say, sharing ideas with them.

    I believe that, in order to truly make some progress, one must know exactly what skills they want to develop, as well as what their core motivation is to get the work done (in the most enjoyable and constructive way possible).

    It is so important that the student knows where he/she is going, what is expected of him/her and what he can hope to take out of an otherwise solely academic experience. Sometimes, students fail only in reason of lack of confidence in their own skills and capacities, or because they feel like they will never be able to meet the teachers' expectations (which they don't understand or overevaluate). A whole lot of pressure can be taken off a student's shoulders with the right working method.

    Education

    2018: French Baccalaureate : Mention Très bien. Equivalent of High Honours.
    - French Literature Writing Exam: 17/20.
    - French Literature Oral Exam: 19/20.

    2021-2022: La Sorbonne -- Bachelor in French Literature.

    2021-2022: La Sorbonne -- Bachelor in Philosophy.

    2022-2023: La Sorbonne -- Master of Philosophy (M1). First-Class.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have experience with tutoring, mainly with young kids. I have volunteered in English and French schools (Quennessen Institute, Maria Fidelis Convent School), and I have held paid, regular tutoring positions in both countries.

    I was an Intern Consultant at Equal Education (London, UK) between September 2020 and January 2021. I was the team leader and project leader. With the help of my team, we redacted a report aimed at providing recommendations for the design of a digital learning experience, targeted to STEM and LAC students' needs. To do so, we designed a filtering method and an evaluation table in order to assess the educational apps in line with Equal Education's mission and future ambitions.
    Whether the student wants to learn more about French Literature or master the many intricacies of the language, be it solely out of curiosity or in order to improve certain aspects of the methodology he/she uses when analysing texts or writing essays and dissertations (to prepare for the French Baccalaureate, the IB or other)... I would gladly like to offer my help ! I always make sure to tailor my lessons to the student's needs, to meet his/her expectations. I have graduated from UCL (University College London) with a highly interdisciplinary Bachelor degree in Arts and Sciences (back in June 2021, First Class Honours)-- and from La Sorbonne in June 2022 with two Bachelor's degrees (one in Literature and another in Philosophy). I am currently undertaking a Master of Philosophy at La Sorbonne. Please feel free to get in touch for any extra information.

    Pedro
    38-year-old PhD student offers classes and tutoring at secondary and university levels for any area of Humanities
    I have taken a few years off to complete my PhD in History and I would not like to stop teaching and learning in the meantime. I guess it is a cliché, but it is amazing what I have learned by teaching. If anything can distinguish me, it is that my personal experience has shown me that, when it comes to learning, complexities such as age are simply that. Experience in national and international schools. Possibility of classes in English (C1).

    French lessons with literature, poetry, philosophy if interested
    Master's student in physics at EPFL and literary at heart, I obtained the baccalaureate with very good honors (19.8/20 general average) and willingly help in learning the French language and its literature. , its philosophy and its culture if interested. I offer to give French help lessons for all levels, occasionally or regularly, possibly accompanied by a "French fika" because I love pastries (shortbread, lemon cake, apple pie...) :) I have previously given lessons to children. Having several young nephews and nieces and having regularly carried out baby sittings, I am used to supervising children. I can also help with English classes (after having lived for several months in Cambridge, England), mathematics, science or provide general academic support for homework help for children. I can receive at home, in a room reserved for the KTH library or give lessons by webcam. I can also move if the address is reachable by metro or bicycle.

    Téo
    Business school student (EDHEC) gives math and English lessons from middle school to high school in Lille. Experience as a tutor at EDHEC
    I mainly teach math lessons from middle school to high school. Before starting the lessons, I need to get in touch with the student to know their level, the areas where they want to improve and their objectives. Depending on the level, I adapt the work seen in class to the different points of improvement and suggest exercises consistent with what the student is stuck on. At the same time, I go over point by point the elements that were not for the student (in the Ds and the questions) I rework the exercises seen in class. Finally, and this is the most important, I advise the student on his working methods, with what state of mind to approach the exercises. I can also provide homework help in subjects other than mathematics: I got 17 in the HEC philosophy exams and I didn't get below 18 in subjects such as SES, Philosophy and history in the BAC. I recommend at least one math lesson per week in order to take stock of the week; it is regularity that allows progress. As a Tutor at EDHEC I already have experience of courses with high schools. I am a calm, composed and educational person. In terms of math, I got 18 in my math baccalaureate and then I went to a HEC preparatory class at Louis-Le-Grand in advanced math where I had more than 12 hours of math per week.
