Private lessons of Brazilian Portuguese with an experienced and native teacher

Hello,

I am a passionate teacher with a strong academic background and extensive experience in language instruction. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Portuguese-English Literature, with a focus on teaching, as well as a Master's degree in Didactics of Foreign and Second Languages, I specialize in FLE (French as a Foreign Language) and ESL (English as a Second Language). My background allows me to combine theory and practice to provide high-quality education, adapting to the specific challenges of each learner.

I have taught English and Portuguese to professionals in major companies in Rio de Janeiro and, since 2018, I have been offering private lessons in FLE, English, and Portuguese in Paris, catering to all levels (A1 to C2) and ages. I design personalized pedagogical programs and pay special attention to pronunciation, which is key for complete language mastery. My teaching approach is focused on the progress of each learner, ensuring that the learning experience is both effective and enjoyable.

I'm available if you have any questions.

Thank you and see you soon !

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.

I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !

Homework help and lesson deepening course
For some students, homework help in the evening (over a fairly short period of time, often an hour from time to time is enough to create a method that allows the student to improve their work by themselves) may be a necessity. What can also be useful is the deepening of the lessons through small exercises and clarification on the gray points of the courses. What I am proposing here is this help, multidisciplinary until the start of middle school, then, in middle school or high school, in all subjects with the exception of mathematics and possibly physics. I can particularly help in French, history geography, English, SVT, Spanish and geopolitics. The purpose of this course ranges from the simple explanation, reformulation and relearning of a misunderstood course to the development of the student in a given discipline. To do this, I do multiple application exercises, followed by corrections and more theoretical parts if necessary.
