Raphaël Valens

Passionate about teaching, I have started working as a tutor since I began high school, tutoring multiple middle school students and teaching English as a volunteer for Brazilian NGO Cidadão Pró Mundo. I have also successfully prepared one of my middle school students to the French national examination 'Diplôme National du Brevet', a multi-discipline examination taken by all French students before entering high school. Being born in France and having lived there 17 years, before moving to London for university, I have received a trilingual education (French, English and Italian) at a top-rated bilingual school in Paris, before recently graduating with Highest Honours. Thus, I can teach French, but also Italian, as well as various Humanities disciplines such as History, Literature or Philosophy for students age 12-18.
For my language classes, I like to consider them with a twist to the regular (and boring) revision of grammar and vocabulary. According to the students' need, my classes are usually divided between teaching/revision and conversations practicing the language. The goal is to make learning more fun and instinctive: after all, languages are meant to be spoken.
For my Humanities class, I can adapt to the program of the student, providing help for classwork, as well as towards understanding the criteria and methodology of assessment your program involves.
I can teach both online or in person at your home, as long as it is a reasonable commute from Central London.
I am looking forward to help as many students as I can !
