Biography

With over a decade of experience spanning high school classrooms, university lecture halls, and corporate boardrooms, I offer a unique, holistic approach to education. I hold an engineering degree from ENSEA, an MBA from IAE de Paris (Pantheon-Sorbonne University), and specialized Master’s degrees from HEC Paris, Mines ParisTech, and Université Paul Valéry. Having transitioned from a high-profile consultant role to an active Project Manager, I don't just teach theory—I bring real-world application, strategic thinking, and structured project management methodologies directly to my students.

My Teaching Philosophy: From Tutoring to Coaching

I view my role as more of a coach than a traditional teacher. Having collaborated extensively with top-tier organizations like Acadomia and Complétudes across the Paris region, I specialize in transforming a student's academic trajectory. Whether an individual is struggling to pass or aiming for top-tier honors, I adapt my style to unlock their maximum potential. I believe that every student can excel when guided with the right strategy, confidence-building techniques, and genuine encouragement.

Areas of Expertise

Mathematics : Comprehensive support from primary school (CP) up to higher education (Bac+2), including specialized Financial Mathematics for BTS (GPME/GTLA).
Business & Strategy: Tailored guidance in Management, Economics, Law, and SME Development (Développement des PME).

Outside of tutoring and project management, I am deeply passionate about leadership dynamics, technology trends, and mentoring youth. I teach with genuine care and dedication, aiming to instill not just academic success, but a lifelong love for learning and problem-solving.

About Me & My Lessons

Who I Am & Who I Teach

I am a dual-qualified ENSEA Engineer and HEC/Mines ParisTech graduate with a diverse career spanning high school teaching, university professorships (BTS GPME/GTLA), and corporate project management.

I offer highly personalized, face-to-face coaching across the Paris region for:

Mathematics: Every level from primary school (CP) up to higher education (Bac+2), including specialized Financial Mathematics.
Business Disciplines: High school and university-level Management, Economics, Law, and SME Development.
Student Profiles: I work with all profiles—from students who are struggling and lack confidence, to top-tier achievers aiming for elite Classes Préparatoires or business schools.

My Techniques & Lesson Structure

Every lesson is structured like a targeted coaching session rather than a passive lecture. I treat academic success like a project to be managed.

Step 1: The Diagnostics (10 mins): We review the student's recent school performance, identify immediate mental blocks, and clarify the core objective of the day.
Step 2: Core Concept Mastery (20 mins): I break down complex mathematical or economic theories into simple, real-world analogies. I don't move on until the student can explain the concept back to me in their own words.
Step 3: High-Yield Practice (25 mins): We tackle structured exercises together, moving quickly from basic applications to exam-level challenges. I teach them how to read an exam prompt to avoid careless traps.
Step 4: Autonomy & Strategy (5 mins): We wrap up by defining a clear, manageable action plan for their independent study before our next session.

My Characteristics as a Tutor

A Coach, Not Just a Professor: I don't just teach the curriculum; I teach the student. My goal is to build long-term academic resilience, organization, and self-confidence.
Taught with Heart (Enseigner avec amour): I bring immense energy, patience, and genuine care to every session. I believe a student thrives when they feel supported, not judged.
Results-Oriented & Pragmatic: Thanks to my corporate background, I inject real-world context into abstract lessons, making the material relatable, engaging, and highly practical.
