    English Lessons For Any Age: Reading, Writing, Conversation, and More!

    Hello! I am a native English speaker and a current doctoral candidate (and MA graduate) at KU Leuven in Belgium, with a BA in English Literature and writing. I have extensive tutoring experience and will be happy to help you meet your English-competency goals.

    I have experience tutoring professionals working in EU institutions, graduate and post-graduate students, and children. I work with composition, oral expression, and editing and I have helped many students improve both their confidence and their scores on tests and papers. I have previously provided individual English lessons suited to the needs of various adult and elementary-ages students of diverse international backgrounds and in 2016 I directed a literacy center for primary school children, helping them learn to read, write, and think critically.

    • Proofreading
    • Pronunciation/diction
    • Editing
    • Grammar Coaching
    • Academic Writing
    • Conversational English

    If you, your child, or someone you know may benefit from my services, please do not hesitate to contact me! I also speak French if that is helpful for lesson comfortability or translation.

    Most meetings will take place in a public space such as a cafe or bookstore, although I am willing to travel to private homes for some lessons. I will create the lessons to suit your individual needs and collaborate with you to find a lesson style that suits you best.

    Adélie
    Private lessons English or French: grammar, syntax, spelling / ALL LEVELS
    * BELOW VERSION ENGLISH * Support in English-French/grammar/spelling/syntax/linguistics Hello, My name is Adélie, I am currently in the 2nd year of my thesis in Language Sciences (Cognitive Linguistics). I am co-supervised between the DDL Laboratory (Lyon) and STL (Lille). My background is as follows: 3 years of higher translation school and Master in language teaching, specializing in teaching French as a foreign language. Then Research Master in Language Sciences. (=> Translation diploma specializing in English/German + 2 Masters). Courses given at the university in 2022/2023: - Methodology on CLAN (Computerized Language Analysis, linguistic data processing software) at the Department of Speech Therapy in Lille, - Language Acquisition in English, English Department of the University of Lille, - General Linguistics, Department of Humanities of the University of Lille, - Psycholinguistics, Department of Humanities and Psychology of the University of Lille (L3), - Language Acquisition, Humanities Department of the University of Lille. Currently: Doctoral School of Human Sciences in Lille. After numerous teaching experiences abroad and in France (high school in Australia, university in Vietnam, Lumière Lyon 2 University, University of Lille) I finally decided to give individual lessons alongside my main activity which is became research in linguistics. My teaching areas are as follows: - ENGLISH: I teach English for teenagers or adults, for all purposes: for fun, for academic support, to prepare for exams such as TOEFL ... etc. - FRENCH: (1) I teach French as a foreign language for people wishing to improve their oral and written skills. (2) I teach French for native French speakers who encounter difficulties in particular in spelling, grammar, conjugation or syntax. My teaching method: - I adapt to the objectives and level of the student. I define a program according to its needs. I summarize what he already knows but also his shortcomings, in order to better shape the planned course program. I do not make a support decision without consulting with the student: I choose media / videos / articles etc. according to his tastes. - ENGLISH: English is a living language. I try as much as possible to make the student speak and find interesting and even fun subjects to deal with so that the desire to learn is in the foreground, but without forgetting the fundamental rules of grammar and syntax that I slip once journey. - FRENCH: (1) For French as a Foreign Language (FLE): just like for teaching English, I adapt to the needs of the student in learning a LV2 / 3/4 ... and I choose suitable supports to improve one's level on the 4 pillars of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages): oral / written comprehension and oral / written expression. (2) For native French speakers: given that it is a question of working on difficulties or even misunderstandings in the morphosyntactic system of French, my approach is more academic among native adults in difficulty in their own language: I then ask them dictations, readings, written expressions ... so that the fundamental bases come back little by little and that the person can be reconciled with the written language production :-) Do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information. Classes can be taken at my home or online. I can come to the student's home if their home is in LYON INTRAMUROS but in this case travel costs apply (unless we live very close to each other). Adelie *** Tutoring in both English/French for different purposes: Grammar/Writing skills/Spelling/General language skills/Linguistics Hello, My name is Adélie, and I am currently a second-year PhD candidate in Language Sciences (Cognitive Linguistics) after completing 2 Masters Degrees in Linguistics/Language Didactics. However I would love to keep teaching after several beautiful teaching experiences in France and Abroad (in a high school in Australia/University in Vietnam/University Lyon 2/Private institutes/University of Lille). I had the opportunity to give the following lectures over the course of the years 2022/2023: - Methodology (CLAN: Computerized Language Analysis, linguistic data analysis software), Department of Speech Therapy studies (University of Lille), - Language Acquisition in English, Department of Anglophone studies, University of Lille, - General Linguistics, Department of Human Sciences, University of Lille, - Psycholinguistics, Department of Human Sciences and Psychology, University of Lille, (3rd year students), - Language Acquisition in French, Department of Human Sciences, University of Lille. FRENCH FOR FOREIGNERS: I have been teaching French as a foreign language for the past 8 years. I follow the structure of the The Common European Framework of References for Language (CEFR) while also trying to make the lesson a little fun. My approach: I tailor a specific program for every student based on their level, background, strengths and weaknesses. In terms of content, I only pick stuff that are interested for my students and / or stuff they are really interested in. I would like my private lessons to be entertaining and safe places where the students can express themselves as much as they can. There's no progress without mistakes! I encourage the students to speak as much as possible. I never forget the fun side of classes but I also never lose sight of the fundamental bases: grammar, syntax, spelling and pronunciation. You can contact me if you need further information about my background and methodology. Lessons can take place at my apartment (Lyon 9th) or online. I can also go to the student's home, but please note that there is an extra charge per session, unless the person lives right next door to me. Thank you in advance for your understanding. Adelie

    Elena Texeira
    cours particuliers d'espagnol or english with a native teacher
    Hi there! I am a 5th year student studying at Science Po Lyon in the ERASMUS program. Originally, I am from Madrid, Spain, so I am a native speaker of the language. I am also half American, so I am also bilingual in English, and I am currently studying French and have a basic level. I am currently 22 years old and have been teaching English to young children since I was 16, so I have a lot of experience as a teacher and many parents are happy with the results. Due to my age, it is very easy for me to connect with young children and adolescents who are not so far from my birthday. My class style varies depending on what each student is looking for; I teach children between the ages of 3 and 18 in preparation for language exams such as the TOEFL or Proficiency, support classes for those who taught subjects in English at school, and I also give personalized classes to improve the language, either through games or exercises, depending on the level of each one. However, I have no age limit for my students, I can also work with adults. I consider myself a patient, sociable and creative person, so I will not disappoint as a teacher. All the best!
