I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

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!

In this semester, I teach Arabic to non-native speakers using the "Arabic at Your Hands" method, one of the best methods for teaching Arabic to non-Arabs. This method is distinguished by its smooth and gradual approach, which helps students learn the language in a natural and enjoyable way.

In my classroom, I teach the Arabic language to non-native students using the curriculum “Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk,” which is one of the best curricula for teaching Arabic to non-Arabs. This curriculum is distinguished by its smooth and gradual approach, helping students learn the language naturally and enjoyably.

I begin the lesson by introducing the topic in an engaging manner, using pictures and audio clips to grab the students' attention. I then ask them to read aloud to improve their pronunciation and develop a flowing reading. Afterwards, we discuss meanings and synonyms to deepen their understanding of the text.

Fall in love with the beauty of Italian language 😍 Learn practical vocabulary and grammar concepts before you travel to your dream holiday destination 🍕 Discover by yourself the unforgettable reactions of Italian people when you speak their language and become an instant friend🤌

It is absolutely possible to achieve from the very beginning. By introducing simple, intuitive grammar and new words at the same time, you can quickly broaden your understanding of daily language and form your own sentences 📈 English shares many grammar concepts with Italian, what makes it especially pleasant to learn and teach. There are a lot of words that are almost the same as English equivalents like arrivare - which basically means to arrive.

In my classes we play interactive games that boost acquisition of new vocabulary and spend time in a fun and friendly way. If you wish, I may give some advice on where to travel in Italy based on my personal experience 🌍

If you'd like, I can also send you the materials that we are going to cover during the lesson in advance, so you can have them printed if you prefer to work on paper copies rather than Microsoft Word files.

I'm looking forward to seeing you on our online classes!
