About Me

So far I have lead an extremely varied life including work in Classical symphony orchestras, Jazz big bands, Universities and being a consultant for film composers and businesses.
I have just moved to Nice after 30 years in France, mostly in Paris, St. Nazaire and Poitiers.
I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and have travelled extensively on several continents. I have lived in The U.S., England, New Zealand and Turkey but am a citizen and resident of France.
I enjoy teaching because each student learns in their own way and the challenge for the teacher is to discover the best pathway to help the student advance. Teaching is a collaboration and both sides benefit and learn from the educational experience.
English opens doors in many places around the world and provides access to an unlimited amount of literature from all periods. I Look forward to joining you in your search and discovery of the English language.

Cydonie
Private lessons in English with a Londoner - Graduate in translation.
Currently, I am an English teacher at ILEC in Nice. I give lessons to BTS students, focusing on professional English and TOEIC. Previously, I taught for four years at the University of Sophia Antipolis to LEA and LLCE students. This focused on more literary and creative subjects. I approach all my lessons with a topical theme, in order to start with a common reflection, and a pleasant start. I then build each class according to the level, age and personal objective of the student. I adapt to the rhythm of life of each student and I try to build effective and pleasant courses. I will ask the students to re-read the previous lesson and I will offer small short videos that will then allow discussion. I offer private lessons either online via Skype or at your home or workplace. The 30 and 45 minute lessons take place only via Skype, unless you are based in the center of Nice :) Feel free to contact me for more information.

Graduate teacher in foreign languages gives Spanish and English lessons (A1-C2)
I propose to meet your needs by promoting a communicative approach in order to recognize the importance of learning a language from its cultural and pragmatic exploration. More than just learning semantic and structural content, it is necessary to take into account the social and cultural environment within which language acts are carried out. So, I try to make learners curious and feel confident to promote participation, oral expression and intercultural discovery, all alongside structural work by ensuring that students evolve in all areas. language skills.
