About Me

Hi! I'm a First Class English Literature graduate from a top university, and I love to share my passion for literature. I don't have a set teaching style; I treat each student as an individual, and work with you to find out which learning style suits you best. I inspire a passion for the subjects I teach through any way I can. I break big subjects down into manageable chunks, making the content as engaging, accessible and fun (!) as possible. As a teacher, I am relatable and easy to get on with; I understand that studying can sometimes be stressful and difficult, but I can help you find something you love within it.

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Western Armenian is a language that has been put in the endangered language's list, and I personally believe that such a rich language should never die. I believe that I am taking a huge initiative to be one of the individuals who'll try to save this important language from disappearing.
I try to make my lessons as interacting as possible. The lessons and exercises will be provided through PowerPoint presentations. I try to listen to my student in order to prepare the lesson plan together, according to his needs and preferences.
I've always been the smiling and friendly tutor who makes the student comfortable during the lessons. I believe that in order to reach the students you need to understand them also emotionally and psychologically.

The content of my classes focuses on the students' needs. Language is taught through practical examples with active participation from each student, so they can easily assimilate vocabulary, as well as grammatical and phonetic rules, according to their uses and in everyday contexts, ranging from informal language to complex written forms.

My classes are usually conducted through continuous oral communication in order to improve the interactivity of my students.

I adapt my classes, whether they are support or improvement classes or others, to the minimum needs of the students, to see them achieve their objectives in terms of oral comprehension/production, and written comprehension and production.

The course I teach is interactive, and I value the fact that the learner asks me what they need and what would be helpful. My goal is to be effective, and I want the course to be engaging thanks to digital tools and various applications. The learner defines their objectives and desires with me, and I can adapt accordingly. I am flexible, and the course schedule can be renegotiated after each session.

To translate well, you have to know how to read. To read between the lines. To understand why the author chose to use this word, this phrase rather than another. To be able to feel and analyze the effect, the impression, the music of their sentences.

As a translator for publishing for over 20 years, I help higher education students (English LLCER, translation schools, etc.) to improve their approach to texts, to better understand them and thus, better render them in another language.

This course is for English enthusiasts, future teachers, interpreters, translators, who want to learn to translate from English to French like pros, or to delve into the heart of a literary text to extract its essence. ;o)

Bachelor's and master's theses often fail not due to a lack of student effort, but due to a lack of a clear common thread or a faltering academic writing style. Are you struggling with the structure of your introduction, the transitions between chapters, or do you not know how to incorporate your supervisor's feedback?
As an experienced consultant, I work daily on writing and structuring complex, formal documents. I help you bring structure to your research, academically refine your writing, and ensure a logical structure from A to Z. Please note: I do not write your thesis for you, but I coach you toward a final work you can be proud of.
