About

Born in France. After starting scientific studies (medicine in Lille, up to and including third year), I changed direction toward more literary studies: philosophy at Nanterre (master's thesis topic: the sublime in Simone Weil), stage directing in Moscow. I have been teaching for more than 15 years and work on my own productions as a director and screenwriter, and this year I am on an artist residency in Corsica. Over the years I have supported many students, particularly in preparation for the baccalauréat in philosophy and the baccalauréat in French. I have worked with many different profiles, with "good" students wanting to gain points on exams as well as with struggling students (not understanding the subject and its methodology, having difficulty expressing their ideas and arguing, or even expressing themselves in writing in general).
The baccalauréat results obtained by the students I have had over the years, good, even very good grades, prove that with an effective methodology and constant follow-up, progress is guaranteed and that sometimes, excellence is achieved.

Teaching methods

One must always work on two fronts. Method first: passing on a rigorous method, with tools that make it possible to solve different problems in a precise and structured way. Flexibility next: providing practice and confidence that allow one to adapt to the different tasks to be solved. It is about learning to work no longer in a stereotyped way, but independently and thoughtfully.
I adapt to the student's level and provide appropriate teaching materials so that they can, on the one hand, master the method required by the subject and, on the other hand, develop knowledge and a specific culture allowing them to progress and unlock their potential in the subject.
The essential thing for me is to structure the teaching over the year in an optimal yet flexible way (regularly adjusting the time needed on a concept according to the understanding of the major problems it raises and the concepts one can consider to find a solution), to engage students in a process of independent work by giving them the opportunity to anticipate upcoming lessons (for example through a filmed oral presentation, or by working through a text of their choice, also orally, from a series of proposed texts...), and above all to design numerous teaching tools such as mind maps, fill in the blank texts, and multiple choice questionnaires...
Homework and its regular review are essential in order to identify difficulties as they arise and to ensure constant progress.
In addition, depending on the student's availability, we try to schedule as many mock exams as possible throughout the year.
The work schedule for the year is established with the student (according to their availability) during the first lessons. It can be reworked based on potential absences or difficulties encountered by the student on a given point of the course.
