About Me
I have been a teacher and researcher for most of my life. Therefore I have had a lot of time thinking about why I enjoy teaching so much. The two most important reasons are interaction, which is the sharing of ideas and new topics with students, and secondly, to see how my students get more and more independent and critical in their learning by asking meaningful questions in their studying of any subject.As your private tutor, I will evaluate your needs and wishes and tailor classes and materials according to these needs together with you and/or your guardians. I also support my students with direct preparation and practice for school/university assignments. Teaching is online/remote via Skype or Zoom according to what suits you best.
My specialities include English Academic- and Essay Writing, English Grammar, English Vocabulary and Reading Skills including studying and understanding English literature, English Pronunciation and Speaking Skills, Accent Reduction, and Critical Thinking. Having a PhD in Biology, I have a deep interest in general Biology, especially genetics, population genetics and evolutionary theory.
Common Curricula/Syllabus that I teach include:
IB English Language and Literature SL/HL levels, IB Theory of Knowledge, IB Extended Essay, IB Biology SL/HL levels, A-level English and Biology, AP (Advanced Placement) English and Biology, SAT II Biology, TOEFL and IELTS Test Preparation, in addition to General Biology at tertiary (university) levels.
I often get the following questions from my students:
1. What is the easiest way to learn English in Manila?
Never read a translation of an English book again - learn how to use a dictionary efficiently instead; speak only English when going about your daily businesses and tasks - only use your native language as a last resort; watch a lot of English-speaking movies and TV series, but only with English subtitles. Especially comedy shows are useful in this respect since comedy includes a lot of play with language - if you find yourself laughing, you are studying and learning English! After a while, you will see that you don't even need the English subtitles anymore.
2. Is English easy to learn?
Yes, if you immerse yourself in the language daily. However, to write well in English is a tall order; many native English speakers also struggle with this. Call it an art, if you wish. That being said, we can all get better at expressing ourselves in writing with targeted practice and the right support.

Karl is a very kind and competent tutor. He gives his best to provide the student with his knowledge and experience accumulated over the years. He is also able to make quick connection with people. He is strongly revommended.
Very good teacher!
Mr. Karl is amazing, my son really struggles with biology and mr. Karl helped him very good. Mr. Karl explained him all matters in an excellent way with a lot of patience. His teaching is very clear and he is able to explain complicated topics in a way it’s understandable. I really recommend Karl!!
Very good first lesson with Karl. We have bought a package to continue with him.
In this course, you will be made aware of some common pronunciation mistakes by non-native English speakers, in particular some that are prevalent among Asian speakers, and how to develop strategies to deal with these mistakes. We will also deal with English stress and intonation patterns to help you develop a typical English 'melody' in your speech.
Clear pronunciation is very important for successful spoken communication. Even when a speaker’s grammar is flawless, communication may still fail due to poor pronunciation. However, it is possible to identify and set achievable targets for pronunciation, and there are many excellent self-study resources for improving pronunciation skills.

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacherI am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.
The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.
I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics.
I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
