Great teacher!

Don't think twice, just book ! Fay is an unbelievable tutor who has been helping my son with Eng LAL Internal Oral journey. Whilst we initially expected a supplement to his current teacher, to our surprise Fay has added a totally new dimension and dynamic which is evident in my son's approach and confidence towards the task. We look forward to also leveraging her experience for the pending exams.
Fay gave an excellent explanation of the English Language and Literature curriculum for IB exams. She put me at ease and I am happy to be learning with her and confident her teaching skills will be very beneficial to me.
Great teacher. Appreciated her insightful lesson.

Self-employed English teacher with 15 years of experience offers personalized and effective English lessons
Hello! I am a multilingual English teacher with a passion for languages. I love sharing my knowledge and seeing my students progress. As a self-employed English teacher running a language school in Hettange-Grande, I teach English at all levels—beginner, intermediate, and conversational. My experience has allowed me to develop effective teaching methods that help my students learn easily and naturally. In addition to English, I speak several other European languages, including French, Spanish, German, Slovak, and Czech. Through my extensive travel and professional experience, I have found practical tips that I apply in my classes to help my students learn faster and more easily. I offer personalized language learning courses and coaching. I always adapt my lessons to the students' level and goals. Every student is different and requires a specific approach. That's why it's essential for me to understand your needs, interests, and also what type of learning you are (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or a combination of all?) in order to create the most effective lessons for you. During classes, special attention is paid to conversation and language practice. I always encourage my students to speak as much as possible to improve their oral skills. I believe that the best way to learn grammar and new vocabulary is to use them in everyday conversations, in a specific context or situation. It has also been proven that we learn more easily if we talk about a topic that interests us, so I try to make the classes fun and interesting for you. The first lesson is mainly for getting to know each other better, as well as to assess your level and needs. During the first lesson, I will also explain my system, the teaching possibilities, and what I usually do with my students. During the second and third lessons, we will have general conversations and try to review the basics so that we can then progress.
