Hi there!
Born and raised in California, I love helping people build their confidence in English while having fun along the way. My goal is to make sure you enjoy learning while making real progress!

Hello !
Originally from California, I offer customized courses to help you achieve your goals, whether for everyday English, professional English, or exams. I have earned the CELTA, an internationally recognized certificate, to offer you effective and tailored courses.

Bilingual in French, I understand the specific challenges French speakers face when learning English. I am here to guide you with patience and clear explanations, always in a good mood!

I love making learning both enriching and fun. That's why each course is tailored to your needs and interests. I've had the pleasure of teaching over a hundred students, both in corporate settings and at home, which has allowed me to refine my method.

In terms of materials, I use a mix of educational websites, books suitable for all levels, as well as YouTube videos, press articles, and audio. Conversation always remains at the heart of the lessons, helping you speak with confidence.

If you'd like, I can also prepare you for the TOEIC, IELTS, and TOEFL tests. And to really reinforce your skills, I'll give you some homework (nothing too heavy, I promise! 😉).

Don't hesitate to contact me, I look forward to meeting you and helping you improve your English!

Bonjour,

Each course is prepared for your purposes.
I am on my way to school

I need the phonology/pronunciation/oral conversation course.
I support many adults in their transition. They need to converse and write in English for professional purposes (accent reduction, grammar, oral fluency, etc.) or as part of a revision course.

I am a language teacher.

In English:

Each course is prepared according to your personal needs.

I can intervene at the following levels:

- School:

College-High School => Correction/Improvement of grammar + other language activities such as oral/written comprehension or continuous speaking/interaction

(Linguistics / Phonology / Pronunciation)

- I accompany and have accompanied many adults who really had to speak/write English successfully as part of their professional activities (fluency, accent reduction, grammar ...) or as part of resuming their studies.

I am a trained linguist. Lessons cannot be improvised. I offer you the fruits of my expertise.

The course of English and German I propose is from the basic to the intermediate level. The intermediate levels correspond to a more detailed understanding academic papers and lectures as well as being able to talk about them in a clean and fluent way.

French and English are two very different languages and mastering one requires being able to rely on a good understanding of the other.
I adapt to your needs and focus on the constraints you have. Your level of experience will only help me gauge which fundamentals it is important to focus your efforts on. And it is your affinity with the chosen language that will determine the pace at which we will go.

French and English are two very different languages and mastering one implies being strong and stable in the understanding of the other.
I am adaptable to your needs and will focus on your constraints and limits. Your experience level will only help me define which fundamentals to prioritize. And it is your affinity with the language that will set the rhythm of the lessons.

English is the main language among users or producers of technology and it is obviously the language of the future!
It’s a language that we must learn because our lives are woven with it! To learn a language, you need to advance all four skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening at the same time!
So here I am with over five years of experience in teaching different people of all ages and nationalities!

During the lessons, my main objective is to listen to your concrete needs in order to help you progress in English.

Whether it is to prepare for an exam, develop your professional skills or prepare for a trip abroad, the method I favor is that of putting it into a concrete situation; you will be the actor of your learning journey.

This type of exercise allows you to identify your strengths and areas to work on, but also to help you gain self-confidence. Furthermore, I like to use digital tools to energize sessions, even in person. My goal is to leave room for your expression (written and oral) and to guide you towards new reflexes to help you progress.

For more information, do not hesitate to contact me! 😊

See you soon!

Learning English regardless of age and level! For me it is important that everyone has the opportunity to learn as it suits them, because everyone learns differently.
I have experience with little ones, as well as high school students. I would know how to teach in an encouraging and motivating way, as long as the student is too!

I carefully prepare my language courses, taking into account the needs of each of my students. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and well understood. At the beginning of the course, we will discuss your goals, your reasons for taking this course, and your expectations so that I can help you in the areas you wish to improve.

In my opinion, the best way to learn a language is to practice it. That's how I learned English myself, and also French.

However, depending on your level and needs, we will of course also work on grammar or do text readings. Having studied it at school, I know how tiring traditional methods of teaching English grammar can be. In my classes, you will never feel tired or nervous while learning this language, because I use more practical and lively methods. They will motivate you and make you want to learn English.

My name is Aldric, and I am a student in my final year at the Lycée International des Pontonniers in Strasbourg, in the French-English curriculum, in order to take the French International Baccalaureate.

I offer academic support for students in:
- Mathematics
- Chemical Physics
- English
- General homework help
- Methodology and work organization

I lived in the UK for a year, which allowed me to reach a C1 level in English.
I am taking specialized courses in Mathematics and Physics-Chemistry, supplemented by the expert Mathematics option, which gives me an excellent level to support middle school students in these subjects.

I am the second of a family of 6 and I have been babysitting for over 4 years, which has given me a lot of experience with children.

I adapt to the level and needs of each student: revisions, preparation for tests or the brevet, guided exercises, understanding of the course, etc.

Availability: Weekdays after classes (times to be agreed upon)
Feel free to contact me for more information.

In the age of globalization, English plays a vital role in our societies. As the number one language in the business world, mastering it is absolutely essential. As a native French speaker, I always struggled with English, but it was through self-study that I achieved bilingual proficiency in record time and was able to pursue my studies abroad in English.

With me, English will go from being a weakness to your greatest strength. You will learn to hold a conversation in English, understand difficult texts without having to understand every word, and enrich your vocabulary. During my course, you will be fully immersed in the English-speaking world.
