About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello,

Passionate about pedagogy, I undertake my possible my students succeed because it is close to my heart.
I think that each student needs a particular approach and in this sense I adapt my methodology as best as possible so that everyone understands as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I don't have to hide that not all my students passed the medical entrance exam, but they passed all the subjects I taught them, namely Physics, Chemistry and the non-science part 2. They unfortunately failed because of Math or Biology for which I also specialized!

Recently I also created a complete preparation online in the form of a video for the Medicine and Dentistry entrance exam which is intended for all those wishing to have a helping hand and for those who do not necessarily have the ways to afford a lot of private lessons.

the EXMD, entrance exam for Medicine now passed in Competition is now slightly more complicated. The subject of this exam is specific and requires a teaching of logic and not the simple recitation of courses learned by heart. Indeed, it is professors of Medicine who create the questions of the competition and seek to make the student reason and reflect in order to classify him. There are 4 science subjects: -Mathematics -Physical -Chemistry -Biology These four subjects are essential to master because they will follow you throughout your first two years of Bachelor. And 4 non-scientific subjects: -Ethics -Empathy -Reasoning -Communication These subjects are based on fairly simple principles and a lot of logic, which is sometimes not innate! I obviously teach for the 8 subjects.
Hello, Professor for 10 years, I give specialized courses in the entrance examination of medicine with excellent results for 5 years by giving a small theory part and exercises explained for this second part Empathy, communication, reasoning and ethics do not take a long time to work on, it is simply a question of concepts and reflexes to have and my goal is to help the student to acquire these reflexes quickly. I propose a 2-3 hour session for any subject, which is normally more than enough to complete whatever chapter of the 4 chosen
I am a student in Master of Medicine having passed the entrance exam which allows me to best give courses concerning scientific subjects (maths, chemistry, biology and physics) as well as on the subjects of part 2 (Ethics , communication and empathy) I can just as easily start from the prerequisites, although a scientific basis is still appreciable, but I can also give advanced or refresher courses for people who would like a simple last-minute boost. Good pedagogue and with some experience, I am perfectly able to give private lessons for beginners as well as for people who are looking for details and advanced lessons. Available for any other questions, See you soon,

French, English, Wolof, and Turkish Tutoring lessons
Online Lessons: In today's digital age, online lessons have become a convenient and flexible way to acquire new skills or knowledge. Whether it's language learning, academic tutoring, or professional development, online platforms offer a virtual space where learners can connect with educators from around the world. The advantages include accessibility, flexibility of scheduling, and the ability to access resources from the comfort of one's home. However, success in online learning often requires self-discipline and effective time management. In-Person Lessons: Traditional in-person lessons provide a face-to-face learning experience that has stood the test of time. From classrooms to workshops, in-person lessons offer a direct and personal interaction between the learner and the instructor. This method fosters a sense of community, allows for immediate feedback, and promotes a structured learning environment. In-person lessons are ideal for hands-on activities, group discussions, and activities that benefit from real-time collaboration. However, they may be less flexible in terms of scheduling and may require physical presence. Both online and in-person lessons have their merits, and the choice often depends on individual preferences, learning styles, and the nature of the subject being taught.
