I am a trained French teacher with a degree in linguistics. I have been teaching since 2012 and I support candidates in improving their French and preparing for official exams.

The preparation is fully tailored to your level, the date of your exam and the skills you need to strengthen.

We are working on the different challenges:
- listening comprehension;
- understanding of written texts;
- written production;
- oral production.

The goal is not only to improve your French, but also to understand what examiners expect and to learn how to respond effectively to exam instructions.

Depending on your needs, we can work on methodology, organization of ideas, argumentation, grammar, vocabulary, time management and correction of written or oral productions.

Exercises and practice topics may be offered between lessons to track your progress and identify areas that require more work.

As the exam approaches, we can also carry out simulations under conditions close to the real test, particularly for oral production.

Before we begin, simply tell me the diploma and level you are preparing for, the scheduled date of the exam, and the difficulties you wish to work on as a priority.

The type of course I teach is intended to clarify the difficulties related to the understanding and production of philosophical texts. "How should I approach this philosophical problem or text?" In what philosophical and historical context does this issue/problem fit? "What texts should I read?" How should I read them?" "How should I organize the information?" to communicate philosophical ideas?" are some of the questions I can help you solve.

Concept Breakdown: I dissect complex topics into simpler, more manageable parts, making it easier for students to grasp challenging concepts and build a strong foundation in Physics and Science.

Student-Centred Approach: I enjoy teaching students and continually strive to ignite their curiosity and passion for learning. I aim to make each lesson engaging and enjoyable, helping students recognise the real-world applications of what they learn.

These proven methods will help students achieve their academic goals.

Continuous Improvement: I am always learning and growing, just like my students. This continuous improvement mindset, which I actively promote, inspires and motivates students to strive for their best. It enables me to stay updated with the latest educational trends and techniques, ensuring that my students receive the best possible guidance.

Supportive Environment: I encourage students to ask questions, no matter how trivial they might seem. By creating a friendly and comfortable atmosphere, I ensure that students feel comfortable and open to express their doubts and curiosities, leading to a deeper understanding of the subjects.

This class is suitable for all interested people young, teens and adults.
Zambian history is so rich coming back to the pre -colonial days, colonial days and post colonial days.Zambia a land locked country with 8 neighbouring countries :
Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola.
The country has 72 Tribes and 10 provinces with 226 parliamentary Constituencies for political governance.
Each tribe is rich in culture and amazingly all the tribes have some common culture practices across the country.
More interesting it's abundance of natural local foods and different methods of preparing food.

If you may have the following questions:
1.What was the pre-colonial life in Zambia before being colonized by Britain?
2.What was it like during colonial days in Zambia?
3.What was a breaking point that made local people unite and fight colonialism?
4.What was the post-colonial life style?
5.What is the current lifestyle in Zambia?
Guess what? All those Questions are covered and satisfactory answers are given during lessons.
At this point you're recommended to book some lessons to understand Zambia🇿🇲 better.

It is true that the philosopher is the friend of wisdom, but above all, he is someone who does not want to make mistakes in reasoning. Philosophizing is a way of reasoning and a way of solving problems that will never have a perfect and definitive solution. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon is not a problem of philosophy, because it is enough to measure to solve it. On the other hand, knowing, for example, what justice is, is a problem of philosophy. A meter will not be able to help us know the answer. We must go about it differently, and in the courses I offer, I will teach you how.

You will learn

- text reading strategies
- case studies with the aim of learning from experts
- methodology in philosophy
- writing an essay
- writing a text commentary
- a work on the philosophers of your choice
- an overview of the history of philosophy
- the general culture necessary to be able to philosophize

I will adapt to your individual needs. Each course is tailor-made. We will analyze where your difficulties lie and together develop a course program that will make you perform as quickly as possible. The basic principle of the courses I offer is dialectics, like Plato's dialogues: reflecting together, making theoretical contributions, asking questions and seeking answers, and testing the validity of reasoning.

For the past 10 years, I have been teaching German using the philosophy methodology, having studied philosophy at the Master's level at Aix-Marseille University. It turns out that the analytical mind is very useful even outside the confines of philosophy. Today, there are even fields of activity such as management with philosophy or philotherapy. In recent years, some German students have asked me to also teach them philosophy courses, and that is why I decided to offer philosophy courses directly.

I look forward to meeting you during a first lesson.

1-to-1 classes for students who get stuck not so much because they “don’t understand”, but because they cannot start, organise, hold attention, or break a big assignment into steps.

We use artificial intelligence as a scaffold — not to do the homework for them.

Who it is for
Secondary / high-school students (also last years of primary if they already work on a computer) with ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia or other SEN that affect organisation, focus or processing. It also fits if there is no formal diagnosis but the same pattern repeats at home: forgotten work, freezing in front of a blank page, assignments handed in at the last minute.

What we practise in class
• Breaking a topic or project into a realistic list
• Asking AI for a summary or outline — then checking it against school materials
• Turning a dense paragraph into a map, a visual guide or 5 practice questions
• Building a weekly routine: what gets done today, what can wait, how long it should take
• Clear rules: when AI helps and when it does not

The student leaves the session with something they can use that same afternoon (a plan for an assignment, a guide to a topic, a 3-day calendar).

What the family gets
After several sessions, a small home kit: prompts they may use, tools that fit their age, and how to repeat the method without hovering the whole time.

Pace
8–10 sessions, once a week, is usually what makes the habit stick. You can start with 3–4 and decide after that.

Philosophy is not about memorizing names, dates, and theories. Philosophizing means learning to ask questions, recognize contradictions, analyze arguments, and better understand the world we live in.

I studied Philosophy and History and have spent decades working on philosophical, social, political, and technological issues. I offer one-on-one classes for both students who need a deeper understanding of philosophy and adults who simply want to think, learn, and discuss topics that interest them.

We can work on the history of philosophy, texts and authors, logic and argumentation, epistemology, ethics, political philosophy, materialism, philosophy of technology, artificial intelligence, or any other philosophical issue you want to understand or discuss.

You can also simply come with a question. No prior knowledge is necessary. We start with what interests you and brainstorm together.

My goal isn't to give you ready-made answers or convince you of a particular doctrine. I want to help you develop your own arguments, uncover the assumptions behind an idea, and learn to look at a problem from different perspectives.

Classes can be for academic support, exam preparation, introduction to philosophy, or individual philosophical conversation.

Classes in Spanish, German or English. Online and, by prior arrangement, in person in Barcelona and Badalona.
