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.

Anglais pour les débutants, en ligne , acquérez des connaissances de base en anglais et devenez un apprenant autonome
Un élément-clé pour progresser rapidement dans une nouvelle langue est de développer son vocabulaire. Oubliez la grammaire pour un moment . Vous aurez beau maîtriser la grammaire d’une langue : si votre vocabulaire est limité, vous ne pourrez simplement pas vous exprimer. Mieux vaut s’exprimer en faisant quelques fautes de grammaire que ne pas pouvoir s’exprimer du tout ! Il ne suffit cependant pas d’apprendre des mots de manière aléatoire. Il existe différents types de listes de vocabulaire : Mais bien sûr sans la grammaire complément sera une erreur dans l'apprentissage , donc il faut les apprendre paralelement , c'est pourqoui vous aurez besoin d'un prof qui sait combiner les deux d'une manière efficace

Conversational English and English Language Communication
This English language course, is mainly targeting those who would like to learn how to communicate in English, and engage in conversations smoothly. The purpose of learning any language is to eventually speak with it fluently and confidently. English language is more than that! Because it is the most spoken language in the world and it opens a huge door to get to know people from all cultures, traditions, backgrounds, beliefs, etc. Without forgetting, the high chances in finding a job when someone knows English language. Therefore, I am willing to teach you how to communicate in this language easily by emphasizing on the right articulation and pronunciation if needed.

These classes tend to take place in a more relaxed yet fun and stimulating environment. I constantly provide feedback to students about their progress and assign homework to ameliorate the practical and theoretical aspects of the English.

Ophelia
ENGLISH LESSONS ENGLISH TEACHER FROM THE UK, qualified teacher from England
I am a qualified English teacher from England. I obtained my bachelor's degree in linguistics at Lancaster University (UK) and will soon have my master's degree. I have been teaching English for over 3 years to students who wish to improve their English language skills or become bilingual. All my students are satisfied with my course and those who had entrance exams have passed successfully. There is nothing like having English lessons with a qualified English speaker ;-) I have done all my studies in English and in the United Kingdom, I consider English as being my first language among all the other ones I have learned. Being a "native" speaker for me is meaningless, the qualifications are the most important as well as the experience (you could have a "native" speaker who makes a lot of mistakes because this person is not qualified in teaching). The price of the lessons is moderate compared to the effectiveness of my courses. I use a variety of methods and can easily adapt to the needs of the student. I offer courses at all levels (beginner, advanced to university level) as well as English courses for IELTS/TOEFL, A-LEVELS or correction of written works. I have worked with children as well as teenagers and adults. My 3 years of experience as a teacher in England have helped me to develop the qualities necessary to motivate my students and teach them effectively. I can deliver the lessons online anywhere in the world. Do not hesitate to contact me to book a lesson, places are quickly taken. If your desired time slot wouldn't be available, I would do my best to adapt myself to your schedule and I would refer you to some of my colleagues. ;-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes. See you soon!
