For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

You want to know a little more about your family history, but you don't know where to start? Your great aunt (or your grandfather perhaps) provided you with information about this famous noble ancestor from whom the family is said to descend and you would like to know a little more about this illustrious character about whom you have been told to confirm these statements? Or, you simply have no reliable information on your ancestors beyond your grandparents and you would be interested in being able to name your great-grandparents, find out where they lived, what jobs they did, or perhaps even know their favorite hobbies (we can indeed discover a lot of information about our ancestors thanks to a little more in-depth research). It is also possible that you find yourself at an impasse in your research and that you would appreciate the help of an outside person: when you are very involved in your genealogy, it is sometimes useful to have a neutral person who can help us. helps with the necessary perspective to see things more clearly and unblock a complicated situation. In this course, I offer you an immersion in your family history which will allow you to know your ancestors better, but also to know yourself better. “When you do not know where you are going, look where you come from” (Proverb African). During our meetings, we will work on the necessary and essential steps to discover your family roots and create, little by little, an exciting and fascinating family tree that you will be proud to present to your family and friends! It has been more than 25 years since I first became interested in the history of my family, because I had heard (as is often the case) a somewhat “fantastic” anecdote about a famous ancestor! Asked by a relative, I planned to verify this information. And this is how my passion for this discipline was born, which I practice on a daily basis personally, or to help clients better organize their research and go from surprise to surprise! It was during the 2020 confinement that I undertook graduate training in genealogy. Of Irish-USA-Canada and Swiss origins, my two main working languages are English and French. I also offer my services if you wish to entrust me with the creation and presentation of your family tree. Do not hesitate to let me know during our first contact!
