English - conversational English and practicing everyday speech

From 23 $ /h

**COVID19 pandemic update: Given the circumstances and taking our safety into consideration, I am currently not giving lessons in person. I am, however, available for skype lessons. Thank you for your understanding and stay safe!**

A passionate lover of the English culture and lifestyle, I have acquired official certification equivalent to Cambridge English: Proficiency (CPE) level, corresponding to level C2 in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (the highest level possible). After living in the United States for two years, I am currently pursuing a double major Anglais/Etudes Internationales at the Sorbonne University in Paris.

My experience in France has taught me that due to the specific nature of the English language and the limited time to practice it, there is an issue when it comes to conversational English. This is what my lessons will focus on - everyday conversational English, correction of accent, learning about stress and sentence dynamics which help you to sound more natural and understanding of phonology and the IPA transcription.

If you are shy when it comes to expressing yourself in front of others; if you find yourself lacking the "proper" expressions or tools to engage in everyday conversations; or if you just want to learn what does "hitting the books", "to lose your touch", or to "pitch in" mean - this class is probably for you. And I promise you we'll have a lot of fun while learning!

Note: This class focuses mainly on American English.

About Me

COVID-19 UPDATE: With few exceptions, all classes offered are online, until the situation is considered safe enough for face-to-face classes. Contact me for further information.

My name is Joanna. I recently graduated English philology at the Sorbonne Nouvelle and was at the top of my class. I have spent most of my time traveling around the world and getting to know different cultures and people.

For me English is something more than a language. Nowadays it has become a gate to an ever-growing global community which encompasses people from all nations. You literally hear it everywhere you go. Funny enough, the first language a French native and a German native would probably pick in order to speak with one another... you guessed it, it's usually English! I find that fascinating.

But in a world where everyone speaks English, how many people can say they really know English? With an extremely rich vocabulary, complicated grammar and pronunciation that makes no sense to most foreign speakers, it is no wonder that today most of us find themselves either speaking "broken English" or completely shut down and fail to interact, even though we have all the tools necessary.

This is exactly why I chose to teach English the way I will - by conversing about popular cultural topics, exchanging cultural differences and learning idioms, learning everyday expressions while focusing on intonation, accent and a little bit of grammar and phonology.

I break down my English classes in 3 main components: spoken & everyday English, English grammar, and English culture, literature and civilization. This gives my students the chance to focus on one particular area they want to improve, or engage in a comprehensive program in order to see improvement in all of the above. In addition, I also offer essay/presentation corrections and English writing classes, so do not hesitate to contact me for more info!

Former English bilingual speaker at the City of Paris, I want to help students to be more comfortable speaking during conversations on current or cultural topics. I note in writing - correction sheet - vocabulary, grammar rules to study or review, at the end of the course the vocabulary and grammar rules are recalled. The correction sheet is given to the student and reviewed in the next class.

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.

Currently a third-year engineering student at ESILV after a preparatory class in Mathematics and Physics, I offer private lessons tailored to the needs of each student.
I can tutor middle school and high school students in mathematics, physics, computer science, as well as history, French, philosophy, and Spanish. I also offer advanced courses in mathematics, physics, and computer science.

My teaching method is based on a structured and proven approach, which I developed and refined during the private lessons I gave in preparatory classes.
First session: reading and understanding the lesson, creating a summary sheet, application exercises, then exercises to do for the next session.
Subsequent sessions: quick oral review based on the completed worksheet, detailed correction of exercises and further exploration of key concepts.
This method allows the student to consolidate their foundations, gain rigor and autonomy, while progressing effectively.
