About Me
As a teacher, I’m passionate about sharing my love for English with my students, helping them not only achieve academic success but also find genuine enjoyment in studying the subject. With a degree in English and Philosophy from Durham University, I have a deep and broad understanding of literature, which allows me to teach beyond the curriculum and encourage students to explore English in a more meaningful way.While achieving exam goals is important, my ultimate aim is to foster a lasting appreciation for English that transcends the classroom. I provide a supportive yet challenging learning environment, where students feel comfortable tackling difficult concepts while being encouraged to think critically and beyond the obvious. I pride myself on being able to break down complex ideas into easily understandable parts, all while pushing students to expand their understanding and skills.
In addition to my focus on academic achievement, I have extensive experience teaching SEND students as well as pupils who are vulnerable and experience SEMH. I understand the importance of adapting my teaching to meet each student’s individual needs, ensuring that all learners feel supported and can thrive.
Whether it's language analysis, literature exploration, or essay structure, I strive to make learning English both rewarding and enjoyable for every student.

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research
The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.
For help with writing:
The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.
For analyzes of oral literary texts:
In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.
For the corrections of end of studies work:
so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.
Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.
For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.
For adults (FLE):
In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).
The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.
Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Albanian classes for natives and foreigners of all agesLearning Albanian is a meaningful way to connect with a unique language, culture, and history.
For members of the diaspora born outside the country, speaking Albanian helps preserve cultural identity and strengthens ties with family, heritage, and community.
For tourists and international learners, knowing Albanian opens up a more authentic travel experience, allowing deeper conversations with locals, access to hidden gems, and a genuine appreciation of Albania’s rich landscapes and hospitality. As a language spoken across Albania, Kosovo, and parts of the Balkans, it also provides insight into a region full of diversity and history.
In this class we can learn basic Albanian words but also share insights of the Albanian culture and traditions.

Through courses tailored to their needs, learners will consolidate their French skills, either from a strictly linguistic or literary perspective.
As for the language, we will be able to work on different aspects: grammar, conjugation, syntax rules, written and oral expression.
More experienced learners, in rhetoric and at university, will be able to consolidate their skills in written expression and literary analysis.
