About
My tutoring style consists of first understanding the pupil’s level, e.g. by using past papers. From there, I create a lesson plan targeting the specific areas that the pupil found challenging. I believe a tutor should be empathetic, committed and knowledgeable.
Language learning is something that I take seriously. I actively maintain my near-native fluency in French, Spanish and Portuguese, as well as my conversational knowledge of Japanese.
My other interests are piano and chess. I have 15 years of experience playing tango pieces, including Nazareth's Odeon (of which one of the best interpretations is here). In chess, my favourite opening is the Caro-Kann Defence.
