About Me

Born in London to French and American parents, I grew up between the three countries and now live in Barcelona. In addition to teaching, I also run my own business as a football agent.

Lessons

As a friendly tutor that will make lessons fun for you, I want to empower you to achieve your goals! I am able to match the needs of my students depending on their ability level and age. Ranging from five to seventy five, my students appreciate my individualised approach to their learning and my constant attention to their well being and detail. I try to make lessons fun so that you can be empowered to achieve your best results possible!

Qualifications

After completing a Political Science degree with a focus in International Relations and Spanish at UCLA, I finished, with merit, a postgraduate business degree (MBA) at the University of Liverpool. In addition, I am a certified high school mathematics teacher in the United States with experience teaching subjects such as Algebra I, Algebra II, and test preparation. I taught high school math for multiple years in East LA with the program Teach for America that places top university graduates in under served neighbourhoods. As I lived in the UK for many years and have taught many British students, I am also intimately familiar with the UK curriculum. Furthermore, I have tutored students studying the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum for many years. Lastly, I have a TEFL credential, which has allowed me to teach English to dozens of students.

Experiència de més de 20 anys donant classes d'anglès i català a grups reduïts d'ESO i Batxillerat i classes de repàs en el sector de les Humanitats. Doy clases de inglés desde hace muchos años. He impartido a grupos reducidos y a particulares de repaso (ESO y Bachillerato). Me desplazo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad para todo el curso. Enseñar es mi vocación.

Busco estabilidad y continuidad en Academia o similar para todo el curso y en verano. My name is Xavier. I was born in Barcelona... a long time ago. I grow up in this town, but now I live a bit far from here. I studied at the University of Barcelona and in Huddersfield (near Shefield, Halifax, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool,...not very far from York: quite nice places and better people), and I've been teaching Catalan, Spanish, Phillsofy, History and English for a long time...since I was 16. What happened? Very short, I promise: I was walking down the street two years ago, from just opposite this private school, and I thought myself: well, you might enter this place and see. I like English language very much... and the UK,... but I don' t have a poster of the Queen on my bedroom's wall. It was a sort of a blind date. And there she was: her smile, her diligence, effectiveness. Eva listened to me. And after two weeks she was texting me for a class. Please, Xavier, can you cover for some classes? And here I am. English Studio, Academy of English in Barcelona, where I used to be a teacher until Covid 19 knocked at the door of our lives, and teachers and students had to be at home. Professional Objective: English teacher. Morning shift: Professional experience More than 15 years in several Contact Centers as an Agent or as a Team Leader or Supervisor.

My students obtained good averages, passed the certificate, the baccalaureate and the preparatory classes, while strengthening their self-confidence. My teaching method in 3 steps: Short term: Immediate improvement in average by assimilating the course and preparing for assessments. This includes assimilating the course, taking notes, practicing standard exercises, anticipating teachers' expectations and test questions, as well as acquiring writing methods. Medium term: Integration of reasoning and working methods. Your child will learn to work regularly in this order: assimilation, training exercises, preparation for assessments and analysis of results. Long term: Establishing clear goals, building the steps to achieve them, realizing the SIMPLICITY of mathematics, building confidence in your abilities and unlocking your child's potential. Details of the formula: One to two sessions of 1h30/2h per week to assimilate the course and prepare for the evaluations. Classes delivered via Google Meet for effective online learning.

Harsh
Math Tutor for Primary and Secondary School Levels, GCSE, 11+, 13+, IB, SAT Preparation
I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, USA, and I've recently relocated from London to Barcelona. Mathematics has always been a huge passion of mine and I have found it helps in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These skills are crucial in building confidence and nurturing creativity in students (I even use math to create music!). I enjoy teaching various math topics, such as algebra, geometry, ratio and proportion, probability, and trigonometry, among others. I'm also equipped to assist students in preparing for 11+, 13+, GCSE, and IB exams. In addition to being a math tutor, I also have a certificate in TEFL. This has enabled me to design my lessons in a way that is more engaging and effective for students of all ages. Having lived in five different countries, including the UK, Belgium, USA, India, and Spain, I bring a diverse perspective to my teaching. During my leisure time, I enjoy creating music, cooking, watching movies and running (mostly long walks these days!). Please message me through Apprentus with any questions you may have. I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing from you!

Oliver
Every child is a Math genius | British tutor
When I was a young child, I believed I was not a mathematical person. It wasn't until I met an amazing teacher at age 15 that I discovered my mathematical genius and my life was changed forever. I'm eternally grateful to that teacher. My teacher knew that self-image and self-belief is the key to unlocking your child's mathematical abilities. Everyone is good at maths, but we all have different styles of thinking. Bad teachers teach every child the same way. My job is to find your child's style of mathematics and allow him to discover that for himself. When he discovers that, he will begin to enjoy the beauty and power of mathematics ...and then you will see as the grades begin to soar. 👉Click the blue "Contact Oliver" button above and let's discuss how we can unlock your child's mathematical talents! 😊

Ricardo
Math, physics, chemistry all levels. Including FP (entrance exams)
I have a degree in Physics with 6 years of experience in IES. My methodology is quite good given that last year, nobody failed and those who took the Selectividad, got the necessary grade for their studies. In the case of students who wish to access FP, I have made a summary of all the entrance exams. It was one of the subjects I taught at an IES. The time available for each student may vary slightly depending on where the student lives, because I don't mind traveling, but I have my work commitments. Even if I can't show up on Saturday to Sunday nights, I could do it online in the early hours of that night.

Lois
Private IB / A-Level Maths with an experienced and personable British Tutor
Maths is a subject which is often hated by many people as it is viewed as 'difficult' to understand. However, understanding Maths is not as hard as it may seem and can be an amazing achievement for many. Even now when I finally understand a mathematical concept I feel a huge sense of achievement! I pride myself on being a very personable tutor, connecting with my students personality-wise. All my students have said they feel comfortable and calm around me, which is something I believe significantly helps them achieve their goals! They know that even if they get an answer wrong, with me, it's okay because we'll work on it together in the best, most efficient way possible. Aside from Maths, I love to travel, sing, dance, read self-improvement books and invest! I am passionate about teaching young people about investing, since I think it is an important concept to understand and not gate-keep. All lessons are based on previous classes and what you personally feel you need to work on in that particular lesson. We'll also go through exam papers from the very beginning, so you know what's ahead. Everything is well prepared and well thought of to ensure you get the most out of each and every session. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions :) A few of my personal achievements in Maths have been: - Obtaining a First Class Honours in my Maths degree - Obtaining 100 in C3 - Obtaining 96 in M1 (I found Mechanics extremely difficult at first!) - Achieving an A* at GCSE - Tutoring over 50 students to meet their Maths goals over 10+ years! -A Level Modules Studied: C1, C2, C3, C4, S1, S2, M1, M2, D1, FP1, FP2, FP3 -Degree Modules Studied: Calculus and Analysis 1-3, Linear Algebra 1-3, Differential Equations, Geometry, Statistics, Probability, Financial Mathematics, Actuarial Mathematics, Theory of Linear Algebra, Advanced VBA and Excel, Business Mathematics. -Masters Modules Studied: Accounting, International Finance, Quantitative Methods in Finance, Valuation, Derivatives, Fixed Income Analysis, Corporate Finance, Capital Markets. Degrees/Education: -MSc Finance -BSc Mathematics: First Class Honours -A Level: Mathematics, Further Maths, Economics -GCSE: A*- Mathematics, French; A- English Literature, English Language, Science, Additional Science, German, Drama, Graphics -3 UK Mathematics Trust awards including 'Best in School'

Lucy
German Teacher from Native German - Master Student from Germany
...I could speak in 4 different languages with my room mate. Do I have your attention? :) I always like to joke and say that life is too short to learn German, but honestly it depends on the teacher you have and how much you enjoy the lessons! I think that as long as you feel good and motivated and have a person sitting next to you who says positive words to you, you can manage to expand your expertise in a short time With me, you have a friend with whom you can have a coffee or go to the beach in your free time. I am very open and communicative and want our lessons to be more than just dry theory. I bring my personality to the lessons so that it remains interesting and vibrant for both of us! We can meet in a Cafe / Restaurant in Barcelona, I am also open to online meetings. If you are interested in learning Chinese I can also help you! :)

Miquel
Comprehensive English: Conversation, grammar and reading comprehension
Normally the foreign language is learned in an unnatural way by focusing on grammar and writing, when in reality we know that a language is learned first by speaking and then by reading and writing. Just as young children do, remembering and associating. Learning to use and enjoy a language is the basis for learning to read and write later. With this inversion of the order of the factors, the learning of grammatical rules and spelling is not forgotten, but rather they can be learned more easily as soon as they begin to acquire oral skills.
