    Learn and get help with English language speaking and writing, Biology, Neuroscience and Psychology.

    As a scientist and researcher, I have experience teaching various subjects in science to high-school and university students. I have also worked as an English language tutor for over 5 years and love being able to help people to better use the language (whether for communication or for writing for school and work).

    Being able to be comfortable with the English language is a huge advantage not only for everyday communication but also to be able to communicate professionally. I especially specialize in the use of the English language for presentation and writing in the sciences and social sciences. I adapt my classes to each of my students - depending on their needs and goals. So whether you need help with conversational English or with your essays, scientific articles, theses, or dissertations - I can provide a specialized plan for you, and will do so taking into your field of study. Additionally, I can help you proofread and edit any writing you have.

    I am also a neuroscientist by training and can provide classes and help with your courses in Psychology, Biology, or Neuroscience. Additionally, I also tutor for Mathematics, Physics, and Engineering Sciences for high school and university students (in both English and French). My teaching philosophy for these is still the same- I adapt and prepare every class to each individual student's goals and needs.

    About Me

    I am a research scientist who loves teaching and have always made it a big part of my life- as a student and in my career.

    I completed a Ph.D. in Neuroscience in 2019, and am currently undertaking a second post-doctoral fellowship at INSERM in France. I have taught university-level courses on neuroscience, biology, psychology, and statistics. I also have an equivalent amount of experience teaching English to second language speakers (focusing especially on conversational aspects) and as a writing tutor where I helped university students and professionals with their writing on various subjects from the sciences, social sciences, humanities, fine arts, and engineering.

    I can help you write and improve any aspect of writing you may have- essays, lab reports, presentations, theses, dissertation and also help you prepare for tests. I understand how important it is to suit the style of writing to the topic at hand and understand the differences between writing for English, social sciences, and sciences.
    I also provide classes on English writing, neuroscience, and psychology.

    I can provide one-one or group tutoring and take the utmost care to provide classes and help that best suit each individual student, taking into account their specific needs and their specific areas of help.

    English conversation classes and homework help
    Student in M1 Public Law at the University of Paris-II, I completed part of my studies abroad including my third year in Japan and a final year in the United States. I give conversation classes and homework help classes in English. The courses are mainly intended for students with a beginner or intermediate level. Depending on the needs indicated before the session, I can adapt to all requests and create tailor-made courses in listening comprehension, reading comprehension and oral and written expression. For conversation classes, the goal is to help you express yourself both on a given subject and in everyday life. Classes can be done alone with me or in a group. For homework help, I mainly offer help for school levels up to the bachelor's degree. Having completed part of my law studies abroad, I also offer more specific courses on law subjects studied in English.

    Support in English, learn English at your own pace
    English, although it is an easier language than some others, can, at times, prove to be complicated. Bilingual following my childhood spent in England, I offer support from elementary school to high school (and more), whatever your level (basic or not). Whether it is for a school aid or to better understand English, speak it, review basics that have not been completely acquired, build sentences, write paragraphs, analyze words and use them, improve pronunciation, spelling, translating, or just conversing in English ..., I offer my help. My services in learning English are quite broad: we will analyze what you are missing and I will adapt the course according to your needs, so that it is no longer a problem.

    English Tutoring for Children and Teenagers - Beg-Adv
    Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual. My classes are for children and teenagers, who want to: . Develop and widen their vocabulary; . Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview; . Gain confidence in spoken English; . Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors. I also offer the possibility of following a Cambridge exam orientated syllabus, such as Family and Friends, Cambridge Starters, Movers, Flyers, or B1, B2. After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!
