About Me

I am an Italian-born but British-adopted art teacher, with several years of experience working with university students, as well as private tutor for high-school and IB students here in Switzerland. Throughout my academic career, I have presented at international conferences and served on the boards of several academic institutes and journals.

As a teacher, I am fully aware of how rapidly the academic world is evolving, thanks to advancements in technology such as AI, and I am excited to help students explore its potential rather than demonise it!

My goal is to help students develop the essential skills needed for success in high school and university, including strong reading and writing abilities, as well as independent, honest analytical and critical thinking skills.

I propose weekly classes of various different topics, about what is happening in the world, new films movies, culture, etc. whatever we choose to discuss in order to improve and correct your English. Correction of texts and essay-planning is also possible !

Succeed in the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Private preparation sessions | [IN LINE]
My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF: - The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. - The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles. If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !

English for exams, general English and conversation
I have qualified as an English teacher over 14 years ago and I have been teaching it continuously ever since. My specialty are preparation classes from the Cambridge exams suite, especially A2 KET, B1 PET and B2 First. I have taught in several European countries such as Ireland, England, Romania, Italy and Spain, and in different education settings such as public schools, language academies, summers courses and online classes so I can adapt to different students needs.

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.

ORAL PREPARATION 🗣️ WRITTEN ✍ PATENT 🎓 BACCALAUREATE by PROFESSOR of Higher & Secondary and PROFESSIONAL COACH Orientation COMMUNICATION
ORAL PREPARATION 🗣️ WRITTEN ✍ PATENT 🎓 BACCALAUREATE By PROFESSOR of TRADE Graduated from Higher & Secondary and PROFESSIONAL COACH State diploma PRESENTIAL and DISTANCIAL Hello, Currently, different contexts lead me to practice my profession as a State-certified Teacher and Professional Coach, also with middle and high school students. Also, for about fifteen years, face-to-face and remote (videoconference), in front of entire classes as well as private lessons at home. Finally, for two years I have devoted myself exclusively to the individual follow-up of my students, at home and / or by video. In particular with the success of high school students in their orientation, in agreement with their life project as well as in agreement with their family. A mission that is particularly close to my heart. Both in scientific and literary profiles, because of having implemented methods aimed at greatly facilitating their learning in complete confidence, with the key to a good improvement in their results. In order to be able to carry out their wishes serenely, in connection with their life project. For the College students, it is a significant gain in autonomy accompanied by higher results with a good homogeneity of their academic profile in both scientific and literary subjects. With for the Third, a successful transition to Second taking into account the first choice of the pupils and their family... Thanks to regular work, both on the understanding of the key words in the texts to be learned and the statements to be understood, as well as than on the structuring of responses. All this, regularly accompanied by continuous control situations (including the College Diploma). Thus, during these two decades I have implemented proven methodological approaches. Some borrowed from the Theatre, others like the Davis method (mind mappings / colors), as well as Mental Preparation or Cognitive Remediation borrowed from Professional Coaching (my specialty). The main objective is to establish a specific framework that can accommodate a methodology adapted to each of my students. In order to motivate your child sustainably, by developing at home a certain agility, and in all subjects. For now, as for his future, when I will no longer be present by his side to accompany him. Finally, working on a subject in order to gain points, generally four from the first trimester of treatment, does not seem satisfactory enough to me ... All the more convinced that I work alongside my profession as a teacher, that of mental trainer with our young athletes in France and in Europe (by videoconference); as part of their tennis preparation for the French and European Championships. Teacher from General Education, mainly in scientific subjects, I suggest you support your child, to become an actor in the construction of his school career, especially in this period so unique but oh so rich in its opportunities and challenges. . Besides that, I practice an hourly rate within the framework of the CESU. In particular in order to benefit from a tax credit immediately within the framework of the CESU +. Or up to 50% less depending on your income. So I propose to facilitate the procedures that allow you to benefit from it from the first lesson.
