English Conversation Class to Supplement English Studies

This is a conversation based class to supplement standard ESL courses. Through conversation, we will explore the nuances of the English language in formal and informal contexts in an effort to improve your accent, build vocabulary, and reinforce grammtical structure. This course is focused around the student's individual goals: preparing for an interview, orally practicing topics studied in ESL courses, or navigating the English vocabularly to fit comfortably in informal and formal contexts.

This course can be taken via video chat or in person in Paris, France. It's recommended that the student use this course to supplement ESL classes or structured individual study.

I am a native, American English speaker who holds a BA in Psychology and a BM in music performance. Currently, I'm a Master's student at Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et Danse de Paris. My studies in psychology focused on skill acquisition and performance psychology.

About Me

I am an experienced performer and educator. I'm from the USA and now pursuing my masters at Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris.

Education Experience:
Corey is a recent graduate from Oberlin College and Conservatory where he holds a BM in Viola Performance and a BA in Psychology. Currently, he is pursuing a Masters in Viola Performance at Le Conservatoire de Paris (CNSMDP) in Paris, France in the class of Pierre-Henri Xuereb. Teaching all ages since high school, Corey has been a chamber music coach for Credo Chamber Music (Chicago), a sectional coach for Northern Ohio Youth Orchestra, and conducted research on the History or French Viola Pedagogy at France's national library. Corey has performed throughout North America and Europe including recent performances with the International Contemporary Ensemble, members of Ensemble Intercontemporain, and was a featured performer at the Kennedy Center with his ensemble "Trio Ligatura." With a background in performance psychology, he has studied with Dr. Noa Kageyama (Juilliard's "Bulletproof Musician") and Dr. Jeffrey Huber (former US Olympic diving coach and IU performance psychologist). Corey believes in combining string pedagogical traditions with his research in performance psychology to not only develop reliable, healthy technique, but also teach students scientifically proven methods that aid in skill acquisition and developing a positive relationship with performance anxiety.

Reviews (1)

My son plays the viola and even though it seems very similar to the violin there are some technical differences. It was therefore important for him that he get instruction from a viola instructor proper. We've just had one lesson so far, but in that time Corey was able to identify the areas that my son needs to work on to improve his technique, as well as provide several very helpful exercises. My son is very excited for his next lesson and hopes to continue receiving instruction from Corey.

Audrey
Help with homework, acquisition and mastery of knowledge
Hello, my name is Audrey! (English Bellow) I am a student in international relations and foreign languages (Chinese) at INALCO. My studies led me to work on many and very diverse subjects but above all to learn and quickly master many concepts and knowledge! To achieve my goals, I had to develop tips and use methods. So I know how daunting, frustrating and even impossible to achieve it can sometimes seem. Also, I propose to accompany you to help you, whatever your level (primary, college, high school, higher education), to achieve your goals without being discouraged. I had the opportunity in the past to help children and adolescents in their learning. It is true that not everyone has the same abilities or the same appetite for studies, but everyone is driven by a passion, a center of interest. Use them to learn! For instance : You or your child are passionate about music, let's create a melody to make you remember this grammar lesson on which you have been stuck for several days so that it definitely fits in your mind. Passionate about drawing? Let's create memory cards together so that you artistically memorize all the dates related to the First and Second World Wars, for example. Learning does not exclusively involve cramming, it is also and above all about understanding the content and confidence (in oneself and in one's skills)! My sessions aim to offer the student, young people a warm space in which they feel confident to learn, try and sometimes fail. Each course is unique and adapts to your needs. I am currently in Paris and I can move if necessary. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to talk with you about your expectations, your objectives and my working method. Looking forward to help you! See you soon Hello my name is Audrey!

For example: You or your child are passionate about music, let's create a melody to make you remember that grammar lesson you've been stuck on for several days so that it becomes permanently embedded in your mind. Are you a drawing enthusiast? Let's create together memory cards so that you can artistically memorize all the dates linked to the First and Second World Wars for example. Learning is not only about cramming, it is also about understanding the content and confidence (in yourself and your skills)!

private tutoring english speaking conversation
Former English bilingual speaker at the City of Paris, I want to help students to be more comfortable speaking during conversations on current or cultural topics. I note in writing - correction sheet - vocabulary, grammar rules to study or review, at the end of the course the vocabulary and grammar rules are recalled. The correction sheet is given to the student and reviewed in the next class.

School support and homework help. Private lessons.
Tutoring and homework help courses aim to resume the work done at school, in order to better understand and assimilate it, so that the student understands in detail. These individual lessons aim to progress at the student's pace and consolidate the basics so that they can then better understand and learn better. These courses also aim to prepare for the controls.

Support in English, learn English at your own pace
English, although it is an easier language than some others, can, at times, prove to be complicated. Bilingual following my childhood spent in England, I offer support from elementary school to high school (and more), whatever your level (basic or not). Whether it is for a school aid or to better understand English, speak it, review basics that have not been completely acquired, build sentences, write paragraphs, analyze words and use them, improve pronunciation, spelling, translating, or just conversing in English ..., I offer my help. My services in learning English are quite broad: we will analyze what you are missing and I will adapt the course according to your needs, so that it is no longer a problem.

Hello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context. For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot. For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand). Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.
