I place a strong emphasis on intuitive learning through speaking and reading and I let the grammar and vocabulary knowledge build naturally. I do follow textbooks when required but I also lesson plan around it, using the student's interests to make the class interesting.

Let me tell you something. When I was learning English, I realized that the method I was using included strategies, tricks, and tips that made the process much simpler and faster — and it worked! In just four months, I was able to hold a conversation in English with someone.
So, I took that same method and customized it to teach Spanish — and it has worked for Spanish learners too! That’s exactly what I want to share with you: practical strategies based on real-life situations — things you encounter every day like in the streets, hotels, restaurants, and more.
My name is Christian. I love to create (art, music, etc.), I work as a photo and video editor, and I also teach.
I have taught students and colleagues. They are aware that I learned basic English in just four to five months due to my discovery of effective learning methods, tips, and tricks. Of course, learning everything in just 3 months is unrealistic. It takes consistent effort to become familiar with the Spanish language, their people, and the diverse cultures you'll encounter, as a native Spanish teacher I'm exited to share this with you.

Hello

My name is Claire, and academic support has been at the heart of my work for several years. I hold a Master’s degree (Master 2) in Educational Sciences and have specialized in helping students with a variety of learning profiles, whether they are experiencing a temporary block or have ADHD, are gifted (HPI), or have learning difficulties such as dyslexia or other “dys” disorders.

Why This Specialization?

Some students learn intuitively—their curiosity and their unique way of thinking make every session stimulating. Through my experience, I’ve worked with many students who, despite strong abilities, face challenges within the traditional school system.

Several factors can explain these obstacles:

• Around 30% of students have an “atypical” profile (ADHD, gifted, dys disorders...). These students each have their own way of understanding new concepts. They often need hands-on experiences, repetition, reformulation, or visual aids to make sense of information.

• A lack of self-confidence: No student is “non-academic.” However, repeated difficulties can lead to a loss of motivation and a feeling of failure. For example, a child struggling with reading might dread reading aloud in class for fear of stumbling over words in front of classmates. This can lead to avoidance and reinforce the difficulty.

• Understanding how we learn is key: Learning to understand oneself and identify what works is an essential step—but not always easy without guidance. A student might struggle with multitasking. Without recognizing this challenge, it’s difficult to develop strategies to complete exercises or assessments under good conditions.

Why Private Tutoring?

I’m often asked: why not teach in a classroom?

I enjoy working with a variety of ages and levels. I truly see the benefits of one-on-one tutoring, where I can quickly identify what’s not working and adapt right away. Every student helps me grow in my methods and knowledge—it’s a truly enriching exchange.

As a mother myself, I also understand how hard it can be for parents to manage their child’s schooling. Being a parent is not the same as being a teacher. The reality of family dynamics often doesn’t allow for that role. And yet, students who struggle in school often need support with specific methods—outside the classroom setting.

What kind of support do I offer?

1. Targeted support (primary & middle school): to overcome a specific difficulty (reading, spelling, math, English, etc.).

2. Ongoing academic support: weekly sessions throughout the year to strengthen skills and organization.

3. Special preparation: help with oral presentations, public speaking, and customized evaluations.

4. Early childhood learning: introduction to reading, sounds, and numbers.

5. Reading acquisition: step-by-step support for fluent reading and solid comprehension.

Methods and Tools

1. Creation of personalized teaching materials

I don’t rely only on textbooks or ready-made resources. I create customized lesson materials, broken down into clear steps and perfectly suited to each student. The goal is for the student to leave each session with a clear, structured handout to help with memorization and review. Since knowledge is interconnected, I often combine subjects based on yearly goals.

2. Tailored evaluations and progress tracking

• I use evolving assessments to track progress and adjust learning methods.

• Exercises progress in difficulty to build long-term understanding and confidence.

3. Structured sessions and work organization

I often recommend two sessions per week. This allows a concept to be introduced, absorbed, and reused while maintaining a steady rhythm.

Example of a French lesson:

• Session 1: 30 min on a key concept, 15 min of work planning, 15 min of practice exercises.

• Session 2: 20 min review, 40 min of reading and text comprehension.

This approach avoids cognitive overload and supports progressive, effective learning.

4. Building independence

Beyond knowledge, I teach students how to be more organized:

• How to structure their notes to ease revision.

• How to plan study time to avoid last-minute cramming.

• How to manage time and stress during tests and supervised work.

We also work on strategies to avoid careless mistakes, quickly understand instructions, and manage time effectively during exams.

Pricing and Follow-up

Over the years, I’ve learned how important it is—especially for students with ADHD—to leave each lesson with a written, organized summary. These students often struggle to synthesize what was covered in class or extract the essentials.

A two-part pricing structure

Each session includes two essential components:

1. The lesson with the student—a time for active learning and exchange.

2. Preparation beforehand, which is crucial to tailor the session to the student’s unique needs.

What does this provide?

• Truly personalized follow-up

• Flexible teaching: lesson content and duration adjust to progress and challenges.

• In-depth work: crafting tailored resources takes time but is key to an effective session.

Let’s be honest: I’m not Mary Poppins :) Learning takes time, patience, and effort. I don’t have magic powers—but I do have a clear goal: to help each student become more independent in their learning, in a structured and supportive environment that empowers them to overcome their difficulties.

My classes offer gentle and personalized support for children with languages, homework, and schoolwork. Lessons are adapted to each child’s age, level, and learning style, helping them build confidence, independence, and a positive relationship with learning.

With a multilingual approach, children are supported in language development as well as in understanding school subjects and completing homework in a calm and encouraging environment. Special attention is given to each child’s individual needs, including support for children on the autism spectrum.

The goal is not only academic progress, but also helping children feel safe, understood, and motivated to learn at their own pace.

Do you ever know what you want to say at work, but struggle to express it clearly or confidently in English?

If you use English in professional settings and want to sound more natural, precise, and confident—without overthinking every sentence—this class is for you.

This class is designed for professionals who already use English at work and want to communicate more clearly, confidently, and effectively in real business situations. We focus on practical workplace communication such as emails, meetings, presentations, and everyday professional interactions.

Rather than general conversation practice, sessions are structured and goal-oriented. We work on clarity, tone, vocabulary choice, and phrasing so you can express ideas professionally without overthinking or sounding unsure. Each session is tailored to your role, industry, and communication needs.

By the end of this course, you can expect to:

✔️ Express your thoughts and ideas more clearly and confidently at work
✔️ Write professional emails that sound clear, polite, and natural
✔️ Speak up more comfortably in meetings and discussions
✔️ Explain ideas and opinions in a way others easily understand
✔️ Feel less nervous or stuck when speaking English at work

This class is best suited for motivated learners who want to improve efficiency and confidence in professional English and are willing to actively apply feedback between sessions.
