English Conversation and English Test Prep Tutoring

Hi! I specialize in teaching English at the conversational level, as well as English for test preparations. Having worked in a primary school for years, I am comfortable with preparing students of all ages for Cambridge language exams like the Movers and Flyers tests. Having studied multiple foreign languages myself, as well as having studied methods of teaching English as a foreign language in the classroom, I believe that you'll find me a helpful and knowledgable teacher.

About Me

Hello! Thank you for your interest in learning English from me. As a student of languages myself (I studied French at University and Spanish while living in Madrid), I'm thrilled to share my experiences with likeminded individuals.

I believe that the best way to learn any foreign language is to have fun while doing it. Therefore, I'm always aiming to keep our lessons as fun and engaging as possible. Whether that's involving pop culture in the lesson plan or focusing on current events in the world, I'd like learning English to not feel like a chore. That's how my French and Spanish teachers taught me, and that's how I like to teach others.

It is of course imperative that students participate in order to learn- there's only so much that can be taken from working out of a book! You must apply the skills you've read about to the real world. For this reason, I put a strong emphasis on class participation. It's important to talk as much as possible, even if you don't know how to say exactly what you'd like to say. Making mistakes is part of learning anything, but especially a language.

Besides teaching, I enjoy practicing sports like basketball and football, cooking new and interesting foods, traveling, reading, and writing. My interests are broad, so I'm sure we will find things in common to chat about.

Education

I graduated from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with a B.A. in French Studies and an English minor. While at university I maintained a 3.5 GPA (3.8 major GPA) and gained recognition on the Dean's List. After undergrad, I attended a two year postgraduate program in Madrid, Spain where I studied methods of teaching English as a foreign language in the classroom.

Experience / Qualifications

-Two years of experience teaching in a primary school in Madrid.
-One year of experience teaching in a secondary school in Paris.
-One year experience substitute teaching in the United States.
-Certificate in methods to teach English as a foreign language in the classroom from Comillas Pontifical University.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
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!

Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.
