Confident user of Zoom and able to develop instructional techniques under the guidance of bilingual professional teachers. Formed and held weekly debate classes in English and Spanish with students so as to improve students’ conversational skills in English whilst simultaneously developing my own and develop teaching techniques and Spanish language.
Furthermore, have been able to significantly improve fluency in Spanish and develop my use of Argentine vocabulary and accent. Cultural immersion through the likes of Speakeasy and Mundo Lingo linguistic exchange events has allowed me to attain a high linguistic level in both spoken and written form.
🇫🇷 September 2022 — February 2023: English Language ‘Locuteur’ (Teacher) at Institution Saint Jeanne d’Arc (ISJA Brignoles), Brignoles, France (Language Connexion).
Gained crucial experience in teaching English Language to foreign speakers as well as developing key skills necessary to overcome challenges presented by adolescent students.

Cours de Français, Néerlandais, Anglais, Mathématiques, Histoire, Relations Internationales, Droit, Sciences et Géographie.I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student who has recently completed a Master's degree in International Law at the University of Amsterdam.
I completed my Bachelor's degree in International Relations at the University of Geneva (magna cum laude) and also spent six months on exchange at UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara).
Additionally, I attended an international high school in France for my secondary education, where I specialized in sciences and achieved a score of 18/20 on the final scientific baccalaureate. The classes at this school were taught in French, english, dutch, and spanish.
Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience:
2021/2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught french, dutch, and english to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills.
During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.
2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as math and french.
2017/2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught french, mathematics, and english.
During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.
I can teach French, Dutch, and English, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.
As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive.
I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with you!

It may include one or more of the following:
- help with homework
- proofreading/corrections of written work

- learning English through exercises and/or conversations
I also generally help with:

- the methodology: how to be efficient in your work and in your reading, how to take good notes etc.

My studies at university allow me to have access to rare and useful resources for learning English, which can enrich the courses. They also helped me to be more efficient in researching and citing useful sources for courses, dissertations, presentations etc.
Lessons can be given at the student's home, in a municipal library, in a UNIGE building, or by webcam (for example via Jitsi, which is free, practical, and has always worked well with my students).
