English lessons with experienced native speaker! :)

I am an Irish guy of 26 years old, who studied mathematics and philosophy at University. I have also had 5 pieces published, that were written for a theatre company in Ireland who commissioned me. So I have a very high level of English - I love reading and I write a lot, regularly.

My experience teaching English is also growing by the week; at the moment I am giving three English classes. One is to two sisters, of 9 and 4 years old, another is to a 32 year old architect who wants to hone his skills before entering a competition to go to America, and the other is to a married couple, ages 28 and 30, who work as doctors and want to improve their English.

The class will be very flexible. You tell me what you want, and I will build a class that suits your desires and needs. I am a friendly and relaxed person, who loves teaching and learning, who is ready to share that with you.

Extra information

What you need for the class will change depending on your goals. Write to me and let me know what you want to learn or improve, and we'll see what we can do.

About Me

I'm a 26 year old Irish guy who has been crazy about music since the age of 4, when our teacher gave us a recorder. I have been involved in many music projects and gigs and sessions of wildly varying nature over the years - alto sax in a neo-jazzy-punk band in Ireland, keyboard player for a gospel choir, flute in a Japanese jazz quintet in Matsumoto, alto sax again and singing in Berlin in a psychedelic stoner rock band, years and years of traditional Irish music with a band called Cogar in my hometown of Ireland, years of accompanying singers in secondary school on the piano for all sorts of competitions and shows and etc, oh and I used to have a regular Saturday evening piano gig in a local hotel for about 2 years that was amazing. I love music very much, and it has always been, above all, a way to express myself, and ideally with friends. If I can share that same love with you for music, I'd be very happy.

Education

Studied mathematics and philosophy for two years in Trinity College Dublin before deciding it wasn't for me. Had a nice time though, which is all that really matters. :)

Experience / Qualifications

I have experience teaching mathematics, Irish (gaelique), English, tin whistle, piano, flute and saxophone. I love teaching and always have; I'm extremely patient, and love getting students to realise that their brain works perfectly, and that learning is fun.

Reviews (1)

Great teacher. Good communicator.
UPDATE 2023: Je suis retourné en Irlande, mais donne toujours des cours par webcam. Ça marche bien, et j'aime toujours autant donné des cours. Ça fait cinq ans d'expèrience, des tonnes d'avis positifs sur pleins de site, et envie de continuer à aider les gens avec leur découvertes musicales :) I have done all of my piano grades in Ireland, up to grade 8, which took ten years of piano lessons. I have lots of experience both teaching and performing, and play several other instruments as well (flute, tin whistle, alto saxophone, guitar, djembe, singing, anything at all). If you like singing, if you want to try one of your pieces with flute accompaniment from me, if you want to learn composition skills, if you want to learn jazz, pop, classical, loads of music theory or only the minimum of music theory... It's up to you! Write to me and tell me what you want to learn, and I'll tell you if we can do it. :) we can do everything in English or in French (I have one class in French and one class in English at the moment), and we can do it in my place or in yours. I love music, and I love teaching it, and you will feel that same excitement hopefully for the rest of your musical days if you come try a class with me. So write to me and let's get started on your piano adventure! :)

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

Cécile
