History, Humanities, essay writing and exam preparation.

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Having worked in an alternative school, my approach is very much based on each student's understanding and ways of learning. Instead of imposing a specific method on the student, I try to understand how they work, how they understand the subject and what the university or school requires of them, and help them improve in the necessary areas.

I specialize in teaching History and Political Science for both school (iGCSE, A-Level, IB) and university (Bachelors). My teaching focuses on both content and form (essay writing and exam preparation skills).

About Me

I am an open, multicultural person who thrives on social encounters and intellectual discussion. I was trained in an alternative pedagogical method which focuses on cultivating autonomy in the student in an environment free of fear. As such, trust and respect between the student and the teacher is of vital importance if learning is to occur.

Pierre is a great professional teacher who understands exactly my students needs and how to help me.
I needed help in writing my statement of purpose, I didn't even know where to start. He was very good at asking the right questions allowing me to put my thoughts in order to plan out how to begin writing. I highly recommend him as he knows very well what he's doing and has experience.

I specialise in History A Level (Edexcel and AQA) and IB. I am an english native speaker with three years teaching experience in an alternative boarding school in Hampshire and work with a distinctive teaching style adapted to each student's needs and personality. Rather than trying to cram in a bunch of facts I approach history as a curiosity: what makes it interesting? why is it relevant to our lives today? Why, indeed, do they say that history always repeats itself - is it that we can never learn from the past? These are the kind of meta-questions that will run through our classes most of which will be discussion based and will include homework, short exercises, co-marking and assignment of additional readings to complement your syllabus.

History and geopolitics courses in middle and high school
Learn the methodology in dissertation and document analysis from middle school as well as high school. This is what is present in History Geography and in the HGGSP specialty, and I offer courses aimed, in addition to helping the learning of courses in these subjects, to put it into practice in an exercise with a built methodology. It is this methodology that I teach, in order to provide the student with independence. I can also provide homework help in these classes, as well as re-explain and repeat poorly understood course points. As for speaking in public, it is necessary for the oral exams at the end of high school. I have been part of a debate group for 3 years and have acquired a certain mastery there. I am a student in high school, in the final year and I already have experience in helping with homework in my high school. I also chose the HGGSP specialty (geopolitics and political science) in second and I obtained my baccalaureate in this subject.

IB English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing for HL essays and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IOs
After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing. In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction. We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
