    Legal English (British English, English Law)

    I practised as a lawyer in England, in private practice, as a partner in a firm in South London, and in the "3rd sector". I managed cases of a various kinds and at all levels of the legal system. I taught law as a Senior Lecturer at 2 Universities in London; I wrote 2 legal dictionaries, one of which is still available for students.

    I am currently teaching law (comparative and international) to students at a leading private Paris Business School. This has required the creation of the course, the materials, including presentations, examinations and assessments.

    I have been teaching Legal English in Paris to (French) qualified legal professionals one-on-one in their office. The sessions are prepared to suit the needs and requirements and levels of the student. Written material may be provided for preparation and written work and oral work is undertaken in class.

    Each session is timed to last one hour.

    I am willing to teach on an individual one-to-one (one-on-one) basis or in groups.

    My fees are negotiable in appropriate circumstances.

    Extra information

    You should have a laptop available to enable written work to be done in the class when required, (using MS Word) and TeamViewer is suggested to enable real-time supervision if tuition is via the internet.

    About Me

    Former practising lawyer in England, and former Senior Lecturer in Law at university in England, and recently employed as a teacher of law at an école de commerce in central Paris and in private lessons at a firm of avocats with a French and international commercial clientèle, providing lessons at their office in the 7th arrondissement.<p>
    <p>
    As a practising lawyer I worked in private practice as partner in South London with various kinds of cases, and in law centres, doing social and community law. The work ranged all levels of the legal system, and included appeals to the House of Lords (Supreme Court), the Privy Council, from certain foreign countries, and that including but not only death-row cases.<p>
    <p>
    As a lecturer I was responsible for courses for undergraduates on law degree courses (LL.B). post graduate students preparing diplomas and research papers, and professional vocational qualifications, particularly the LPC (Legal Practice Course).<p><p>
    I have written 2 legal dictionaries, one of which is available to students now, called Plain Latin for Lawyers and Law Students. <p>
    <p>
    I have a particular interest in the English language and culture, and founded (in England, before moving to Paris) the George Orwell Festival. I have also established the The George Orwell in Paris walks. Orwell is famous not just for the quality of his own writing, and its significance well beyond his own time, but also for the quality of his advice and criticism about the use of English. He also had strong personal links with France which I am exploring.<p>
    <p>
    Many years ago I followed a Cours de Vacances en Littérature Française at the Université de Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland.

    English lessons (online) - English lessons (online)
    Hello, my name is Lucie and I would be delighted to help you learn English, either from scratch or to improve your knowledge. I love getting my students to speak since I think practice is the secret to learning a language and improving your knowledge. I always structure my classes around real-life themes (how to introduce yourself, how to make an appointment, how to shop, how to go to the doctor, talk at work, etc). We will see grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation together. If you are intermediate, we will also do courses on texts. We will put both grammar and vocabulary into practice. Please note that all my classes are online (Skype or Google Meet).

    Dear learners, I am French, I master the language as it is my native language and I studied French literature as well as English literature, a language I speak too.

I would be pleased to teach young students but also adults, wether you are a beginner or intermediate. Contact me :) Chers apprentis, Je suis française et maîtrise la langue, comme il s’agit de ma langue maternelle, j’ai étudié la littérature française et anglaise, langue que je parle également. J’ai étudié en Angleterre pour une durée de neuf mois et pourrais ainsi vous apprendre la langue comme je l’ai apprise : gaiement et sans grande difficulté. Je serais ravie d’enseigner à des jeunes étudiants mais aussi à des adultes, que vous soyez débutant ou intermédiaire. Contactez-moi :)

    English Tutoring for Children and Teenagers - Beg-Adv
    Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual. My classes are for children and teenagers, who want to: . Develop and widen their vocabulary; . Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview; . Gain confidence in spoken English; . Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors. I also offer the possibility of following a Cambridge exam oriented syllabus, such as Family and Friends, Cambridge Starters, Movers, Flyers, or B1, B2. After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

    English lessons suitable for everyone, starting from basics to advanced level
    My class is suitable for everyone, whether you want to start from the basics, focus on writing a resume, etc. every day encounters. I have experience teaching children, as I am currently an Au Pair, teaching them English. A little bit about me, I have completed the official IELTS exam where I got grade C1 (advanced). I have also worked in a company whose main language is English. Born in Finland, where English is taught for 10 years, I would say that I'm almost like a native English speaker!

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.

    Reinforcement courses and tutoring for students of all levels from primary to high school
    I am a 19-year-old student who had my scientific baccalaureate with honors. I then joined an engineering school before enrolling in a double degree in mathematics and computer science. I already have more than a year of experience in providing home tuition in several areas. My last tutored student being in 2nd at the CNED in addition to taking face-to-face courses in another school trained him in management and computer science. I accompanied him in all of these subjects and gave him the best tools so as not to be overwhelmed by the workload. I would therefore be an asset for the help and accompaniment of your children. Contact me to set a schedule!

    - English, Russian and Turkish language lessons for children, students and adults
    Learning a new language involves listening, speaking, reading, writing, sometimes even a new alphabet and writing format. Besides having more chances of landing a good job or advancing in your career, learning a second language can also give you an insight into other cultures. You will be more prepared and confident to travel the world and explore other people's ways of living. You will learn how to make sentences, make a dialog and speak with native speakers.

    GERMAN LESSONS BEGINNERS CHILDREN/ TEENS (taught in English or French)
    Do you want your children/teens to immerse themselves in the German language? The German lessons are usually taught in English in small groups (but can also be taught in French if the student doesn't know the English language). Private lessons can also be organised both in German (beginners) and in English (all levels). Children are said to be fast learners; through the interactive activities, they will be eager to learn the language, remember what they learned and apply their language skills in real life context. Why learn German? German has the largest number of native speakers in the European Union. German is among the ten most commonly spoken languages in the world. It's always a huge advantage to know the German Language when working in Europe and even in non-European countries, most of the time, employers will look after employees who can speak many languages and in particular German. Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate your child/teenager in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.
