I am offering 60 minute 1:1 tutoring on National 5 and Higher Modern Studies and History. My method of teaching is to use self-made powerpoint presentations on particular topics, as well as going over and discussing past papers from previously years whilst covering how and why marks were awarded for each answer under the marking scheme provided by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). My preferred method of study is to do so creatively, I enjoy making mind maps and writing practice essays as this is what has worked best for me over time. I aim to establish the best possible teaching method for each individual student and to target this when tutoring. I will also create personalised learning tools to help aid each students needs for their study- this includes power points and follow-up notes after each tutoring session to help jog the students memory and further improve their understanding of the topic covered. I am a hard-working, considerate, and creative individual with a passion for political science and would like to share this with younger students. I enjoy finding new methods of study through experimenting with different techniques- many of which have helped enhance my memory/retention skills in exams setting and subsequently improved my grades across the board. I have experience working with vulnerable individuals such as those with Aspergers Syndrome and Downs Syndrome as well as having a sibling with Autism, and so I'm able to take on board the different challenges faced by those in my community and help to encourage them to reach their full potential. I have great patience and understand that every person comprehends information at a different rate.

Trusted teacher: I have a Master 2 degree in philosophy and I teach this subject. I am deeply passionate about this field as well as about pedagogy and transmission. It is a real pleasure to help my students improve through this special relationship that is established during the courses. Likewise, I have a real ability to grasp your personality, your strengths and your unique difficulties. My support is completely individualized and I prepare my own courses that respect the official programs. Also, I offer regular follow-up by email. Regarding my methodology, first of all I am keen to get to know my students. The first class is always led by a time of discussion around the student's personal expectations and profile. In addition, it seems absolutely crucial to me to always provide solid methodological bases to all of my learners. This is why a detour via the methods specific to philosophy exercises is systematically made with students preparing for the maturity or the baccalaureate. Then, depending on the specific needs of the student, I adapt the session and it is often structured around two moments: on the one hand, I give a lecture on a concept, an author or conceptual distinctions, and on the other hand I lead practical exercises. Finally, digital documents can be sent to the student later, this is important so that they can keep a record of our work. Feel free to contact me for more information. I travel to homes in the following municipalities: Geneva and its surrounding areas, Collonges-sous-Salève, Archamps, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, Viry. The courses can also take place by videoconference, in which case there are no travel costs. See you soon. Best regards, Camille

Lamia
Lamia is an excellent teacher!! Thanks to her skills and knowledge, my 12-year-old improved her writing skills. Lamia is patient, and is willing to work until the goals are reached. She helped my daughter to understand her weak points, increase her vocabulary, and use more descriptive and creative language in her writing assignments. I strongly recommend Lamia to everyone who is struggling with writing and creativity.
