About

Master in Management, Audencia Business School. In high school, dual curriculum: French Baccalauréat and American diploma, obtained in an international environment.
Professional background
Currently Investment Banking Analyst in Hong Kong, specialized in leveraged finance and infrastructure finance.

International background and languages
Trilingual in French, English, Spanish. 12 years spent abroad and two years working in Madrid. I have first hand knowledge of the two systems followed by most expatriate families in Hong Kong: the French system and the Anglo Saxon system.
Teaching
I have not taught in a school setting. My experience in teaching comes from banking, where training juniors on technical subjects and making complex reasoning clear are part of everyday work. Subjects: mathematics, economics, accounting and finance, English and Spanish, up to Baccalauréat / IB / A level standard and first year of university.

Teaching experience

1 to 3 years of teaching

I taught math to middle school, high school and undergraduate students during my high school years and then during my bachelor's and master's degrees. My career took over from there: as an investment banking analyst, I build and audit financial models on a daily basis, which means working with percentages, sequences, functions and probabilities on real cases. In middle and high school, I cover algebra, functions, derivatives, sequences, probability and statistics, geometry, as well as the Maths Specialty track and the Maths Complementaires option. I also prepare students for the French Baccalauréat exams and international programs (IB, A levels, AP Calculus), which I am familiar with having followed the American curriculum myself alongside the French Baccalauréat. What most often causes difficulty is not the current chapter but a prerequisite poorly understood two years earlier: I prefer to go back over it properly rather than stacking up methods learned by rote.

Teaching methods

My method always starts from the student's school system. Having prepared for both the French Baccalauréat and the American diploma, I know the expectations of both formats: rigor of written reasoning on the French side, consistency of ongoing work and clarity of argumentation on the American side.
I start with a one session diagnostic: what the student has mastered, where they really get stuck, how they work on their own. I then build a plan by objectives (tests, exams, applications) rather than open ended follow up.
In practice, I explain using real examples drawn from my work in finance: a percentage exercise becomes a return calculation, an economics essay is based on an actual transaction. Students remember better what is useful.
Lessons in French, English or Spanish: useful for expatriate families.
