Teacher of French and English in the French National Education system for 10 years, preparing students for the Baccalauréat and IGCSE

About

After joining the literary preparatory classes at the Lycée Henri-IV in Paris, I continued my studies at the Sorbonne, where I obtained a bachelor's degree in literature and a master's degree in teaching.
A laureate of the CAPES in French and English, I taught in middle school and high school within the French National Education system.

At the same time, I developed a private tutoring practice, supporting numerous high school students in preparing for the French and English Baccalauréat, with a 100% success rate and a majority of students scoring above 15/20.
I then extended my teaching to video conferencing, working with students in France and internationally (United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, Australia...). I also taught French as a foreign language in Hong Kong, preparing my students for the French IB and French IGCSE exams.

Having completed a second-year bachelor's degree specializing in philosophy in the preparatory class at Henri-IV in Paris, I also teach philosophy for Baccalauréat preparation.

Teaching methods

A patient, dynamic teacher who listens carefully, I approach my lessons in a structured way according to the learner's needs.
Private tutoring offers the opportunity to work in depth on tricky points:

For the French Baccalauréat, we work in depth on:
1) The method of the commentaire composé (literary commentary), (on texts studied in class and past Baccalauréat exam papers from previous years.)
2) The method of the dissertation (essay) (on set works and themes for the Baccalauréat)
3) The method of linear analysis for the Baccalauréat oral exam.

=> After assessing the student's knowledge, I clarify points not understood during class and provide additional information on a work, an author, a literary movement, etc. if the notes taken in class are not sufficient.

For French IB and French IGCSE:
I specialize in preparing for the French IB and French IGCSE (First Language & Foreign Language) courses. During lessons we use:
1) Past papers
2) The most recent textbooks.
3) Oral practice, and grammar revision

For the English Baccalauréat, we work on:
1) Listening and reading comprehension: Understanding audio or written documents in English.
2) Oral and written expression: Expressing oneself correctly in English, both orally and in writing (structuring a speech, using appropriate vocabulary and grammar)
3) English speaking culture and civilization: Knowing the culture, society, history and literature of English speaking countries.

For English IGCSE:
I specialize in preparing for the IB and IGCSE (First Language & Foreign Language) courses. During lessons we use:
1) Past papers
2) The most recent textbooks.
3) Oral practice, and grammar revision
