About Me

Students usually bond with me and continue being my friend even after they learn English. I love to have fun during my lesson, so I usually variate my lessons with different activities. I like project-based and student-centered learning. I often enjoy having coffee with my students and/or discussing events in the news or about life in general. I assign homework and I expect students to complete it. I also assign reading lists of books that students will have to read in their free time. After reading each book, I expect each student to discuss it with me. I support my students so that they spend at least 20 hours per week with the English language.

Maxime
Private lessons in math-physics-chemistry, english
I am a second year student of engineering school (INSA). Someone serious and who has very easy contact. I propose to help anyone who needs it mainly in science (physics, SVT), maths and English for a high school level in high school but also help with homework for all levels since primary. My methods are relatively simple: repeat the exercises and the course seen by the student, understand the difficulty of the student by talking with him and try as much as possible to explain this course with other words. The goal for me is to get them to understand how to approach an exercise based on what we know without being afraid. Everyone has their own method to learn and remember (visual memory, auditory, repetitive, etc ...) the whole thing is to find it and I will be there for that to later develop their autonomy. We all went through a difficult phase where we had to find ourselves even to succeed as we can!
