About Me

Hi there,

My name is Lisa, I’m 26 years old and from Luxembourg.

I hold an LLB and an LLM from the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and I am currently working as a legal trainee in Luxembourg. Alongside my law studies, I also studied English Literature and Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam.

I am happy to teach beginners to intermediate learners. From my own experience of learning languages abroad , especially during my time in the Netherlands, where I was often afraid to speak Dutch and people would quickly switch to English, I know how important it is to create a comfortable and encouraging learning environment. I strongly believe that the key to learning a language is speaking without fear and feeling free to make mistakes.

While grammatical accuracy is important, I believe it should come after developing confidence in communication. Language is first and foremost about connecting with people, and once communication feels natural, accuracy can be refined step by step. My goal as a tutor is to help students gain confidence, enjoy the learning process, and feel comfortable expressing themselves.

I am looking forward to meeting you!

Best,

Lisa

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

I will help you speak effortlessly and confidently in any situation, whether it be casual or professional, and whether you are a beginner or already have some knowledge of English. I can also help you with many things that regular classrooms overlook, such as pronunciation and understanding various idioms and cultural differences. English has an unusually large vocabulary, and many words cannot be fully understood though simple dictionary definitions.

I have TEFL certification and can also help you with any kind of test preparation.

Furthermore, I have learned from extensive past experience that in person practice is far more effective than through a video call. I am available anywhere in Tallinn, or I can host a lesson at my home if you can travel to Pirita.
