About Roseline
I hold an undergraduate degree in Philosophy & Classics and French and a Masters Degree in Philosophy. I am currently doing my doctoral research in consciousness studies/ Philosophy of mind. I love anything science fiction, and I am embracing all interests. Because of my zeal for learning and discovering new things, I am always open to students’ interests and cultures. I fell in love with the IB the very moment Is introduced to its aims and philosophies. Over the years, I have taught French Language B HL, SL and supervised TOK essays and Extended Essays. The IB program is particularly appealing to me because it offers tailored made learning that ensures that the student is at the center of their own education. Nothing is more freeing than understanding ( especially language) in such a liberating space. As a teacher, I ensure that my students approach French and TOK not strictly as a particular discipline to master but as an opening to other worlds of knowledge.

Teaching Style
My methodology and approach to tutoring
What is your teaching philosophy?
My teaching philosophy, much like the IB philosophy, is to help students by equipping them with tools to own their learning. I work with my students to acquire the needed skills for IB Diploma and lifelong learning.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Listening/Reading comprehension: One of my effective icebreakers is a short audio or reading text that is easy to understand and remember. I will ask guiding questions to identify students’ strengths and areas that need extra attention. I will share specific techniques to help students build confidence in their oral expression, reading comprehension, and grammar. Writing: If students are willing, they can share their written assignments with me, based on which I will give them feedback on how to improve their work and commend them on aspects of their writing that they should keep. ToK: For most of my ToK students, we will discuss the essay assessment and key concepts around past TOK essay questions.
