Currently pursuing a GBBA at ESSEC, I completed the IB program from 2022-2024 with Higher Level Mathematics AA, Biology and Chemistry.

For my teaching experience, I began tutoring as part of my CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) project. I tutored a Grade 8 student and supported her across several subjects, including mathematics, physics and biology. This experience helped me develop patience and the ability to explain concepts in different ways depending on the student’s learning style. I regularly prepared explanations, went through exercises with her and ensured she felt confident with the material covered in school.
In addition, I frequently supported my classmates in mathematics. While working through class exercises or revision sessions, I would explain challenging concepts if I had understood them. This peer-support experience strengthened my ability to communicate advanced concepts clearly and reinforced my own mastery of the subjects.

I am a dedicated and supportive tutor who focuses on helping students build a strong understanding of their subjects while gaining confidence in exam situations. Having completed the International Baccalaureate from 2022 to 2024, with Higher Level Mathematics AA, Biology and Chemistry, I am particularly well-equipped to support IB students and understand both the academic content and the demands of the programme.
In my lessons, I begin by reviewing the course material covered in class to consolidate understanding and ensure key concepts are clear. We then work through exercises the student found challenging or answered incorrectly, carefully addressing mistakes and strengthening problem-solving skills. I also incorporate past paper questions to familiarize students with how topics are assessed and to prepare them for the way exam questions are typically structured. A strong emphasis is placed on learning how to work effectively under time constraints to build exam confidence and efficiency.
To ensure each session is productive and well-prepared, I ask that the material to be covered is sent to me at least one week in advance.
