About Me

I’m an earnest nerd from Australia currently pursuing an MScR in Philosophy, specialling in the ethical consequences of AI being involved in IVF procedures.

During my time as a tutor for the Contemporary Coaching College, I specialised in working with students aged 15–18, particularly those who struggled to connect with humanities subjects such as literature, economics, history, and studies of religion. My approach centred on making these disciplines accessible and engaging by linking them to my students’ pre-existing interests. Witnessing their growing enthusiasm and confidence was deeply rewarding. I am particularly excited about the opportunity to tutor students who have ambitions of studying abroad, as I can offer not only academic guidance but also insight and encouragement drawn from my own experience. Helping high school students achieve a similar dream to the one I once had would be fulfilling beyond words.

I would love the opportunity to discuss how my experience and enthusiasm aligns with your goals!

Trécy
French classes, French literature, DELF/DALF/BACHIBAC preparation and competitive examinations
Good morning! My name is Trécy, I'm French, and I've been living in Madrid for 8 years. I've been a French teacher for 7 years and hold a degree in Spanish Philology from the Sorbonne (Paris) and a Master's in FLE (teaching French as a foreign language). My method is communicative, meaning I primarily encourage oral communication in my classes, analyzing documents, videos, and audio, but always with the goal of reviewing and studying grammatical structures, conjugation, and, above all, the vocabulary necessary for you to be able to converse in French-speaking environments. In addition, in class I practice with the students both the oral and written comprehension sections as well as the oral and written production, grammar points, conjugation, conversation... because don't forget that spoken and written French are like two different languages and it is necessary that you know how to speak and write them. I also offer varied and engaging content to my students so they can learn while having fun with videos, audio clips, role-playing games, real-life situations, debates, and more. The goal is for you to learn inductively. That is, you will analyze the grammatical structures and verb tenses that appear in the documents studied to derive the rules for these structures. We will study them together and explain them with the goal of later applying them through exercises, activities, dialogues, etc. In short, you are the driving force and the driving force behind this class! But the most important thing is that you learn and practice while having fun. In more technical terms, I prepare my students for the French DELF / DALF / EOI tests at levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 and also for the official French BACHIBAC tests for literature and competitive examinations. You will see in class that I am a teacher committed to my students, serious, dynamic, smiling, motivated, and very attentive to the questions, needs, and doubts of my students. If you have any questions, please feel free to write to me! :)

IB English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing for HL essays and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IOs
After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing. In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction. We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!

Hi My name is Marcia. I have been successfully teaching English for 12 Years. I enjoy teaching English to my students my students all enjoy my lessons we build a naturing funny environment together where we both can learn. Lessons types are structured in 3 categories: 1.5-7 year olds focusing on developing literacy skills through reading, writing, speaking, listening, and games, songs and stories to make learning more fun and stress free. 2.7-10 year olds these are catch up lessons focusing on covering a clear foundation in grammar, creative writing, reading comprehension, descriptive writing and situational writing. 3.11-16 year olds fill in gaps in English lessons focusing on creative writing, essay writing, writing to persuade, advise or inform. Literature questions, fiction non fiction extract questions, reading comprehension and grammar. My teaching method is student centred using the students interests and hobbies to engage them and lead some lessons. I adapt my teaching methods to suit each individual student learning style and capabilities. I enjoy observing all my students confidences grow and progress in English in a stress free naturing environment .

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.
