Présentation

I have a background in MSci Pharmacology with Professional Placement Year with First-Class Honours from KCL, worked at the University of Oxford. I am native Cantonese, proficient in Mandarin and English (~native) - both spoken and written.

Currently teaching the piano, the flute, and phonics in my spare time:) I enjoy interacting with people from various backgrounds. I have a passion for music and I am keen to transfer my musical skills, techniques, and understanding to my students. More importantly, I really enjoy guiding and empowering my students in their pursuits with a positive learning attitude, in so doing also boost their confidence.

I completed the Music Theory Grade 5 exam at age 10. Attained ABRSM Grade 8 for the piano and double bass at ages 11 and 15. Attained LTCL for flute at age 14. I played in both woodwind and strings orchestras, also participated in various local and overseas competitions throughout my school years in HK.

In terms of work experience, I have worked in various cities, London, Oxford, Shanghai, Hong Kong (hometown) using various languages. Naturally, I have an upbeat, cheerful, enthusiastic personality. Having worked at various startups, I also encourage an empowering and proactive leadership/teaching style. I am flexible, comfortable, and versatile. My teaching will be dependent on the student's needs -- I believe in systematic teaching but malleability is also important depending on the student's potential and character.

Friendly Piano Lessons for Beginners (Cantonese/English)

337.89 CNY /h

Learning how to play the piano is not only musically enriching as it is one of the easier instruments to pick up if you are new to music, giving you a solid base of musical understanding, but also will boost your confidence in general being able to recognise pitches with multiple voicings as we work up the grades.

I adopt a goal-oriented teaching style:
- we will work through ABRSM grades -- breaking down the work needed to master all the way from scales to exam pieces to aural to sight reading.

Beginners/Intermediate Flute Lessons (Cantonese/English)

337.89 CNY /h

For complete beginners, the things I'll teach you the following in chronological order:
- basics of the sounding of the flute, assemble/disassemble the flute
- tone development: posture, embouchure, breathing, articulation
- basic rhythmic training
- fingerings for simple notes e.g. "G", "A", "B"
- other notes ("F", "Bb"; "E", "D", "C")
- understanding the balance
- sightreading simple solo, duet pieces
- more advanced notes
- pitch (sharp/flat)
- tone color
- more advanced pieces
- musical ornaments

My teaching style is goal-oriented. Tone color is the most important skill to master in my opinion.
I can help you with the ABRSM grades you want to achieve!

I specialise in tutoring children still in primary education. My lessons are designed to help children with subjects they may be struggling with or providing that extra extension! I have taught from Reception/Kindergarten up to Year 6; I was head of Maths and French as well as head of Year 3. As head of maths, I am trained in Singapore Maths - an innovative approach to mathematics which takes a from the ground up approach; teaching children a deeper understanding of the patterns and links between numbers rather than learning by rote or memorisation. I have a wealth of experience and am very well versed in how to plan sessions to support, engage and ensure children progress across all subjects. Differentiate tasks to their needs whilst ensuring they are being challenged, and most importantly - always making it fun!

In a multicultural work like ours, where most of the world is bilingual, knowing a second language is always an asset, and it helps you develop your cognitive capacities.

Learning a new language can sound difficult and scary. Well, think again!

I've been in your shoes, and I have found that learning a second language is much easier if you link it to something you already enjoy. In my classes, you will improve your speaking, reading, listening, and comprehension through practical exercises around a subject you enjoy, whether that is History, Sciences, Arts, or Sports.

Sébastien will teach you English as a second language through a variety of staple cultural themes including Music, Arts, Cinema, Literature and traditional cooking.
As well as being a language tutor, Sébastien has a Masters in Arts and a few years professional chef experience up his sleeve.
Sebastien currently lives in London and benefits from 18 years residency in the UK during which English has become his most practiced language. He too had to go through trials and error, and if he managed to catch the British accent so will you.
With a method emphasising on conversation, Sébastien will adapt to your level and centres of interest. Together you will set manageable goals that will serve your personal and professional ambitions.

I am a professional dancer and language enthusiast, with a passion for teaching. Fluent in English, Spanish, French and Norwegian. I am a university student currently working on a degree in Spanish language and literature and history of the Spanish speaking world.

I can help you whether you are a beginner wanting to learn a new language, preparing for an internship or studies abroad, or if you are in school and need some help preparing for tests and exams.

My teaching is tailored to each student and how they best learn. My goal is to keep all my lessons fun, interactive and dynamic, with a focus on efficient learning and motivation. Being a professional dance artist with experience from teaching dance, I believe gives me a creative approach to tutoring language.
Why do I want to work as a tutor? Because I want to share my love and passion for the language and the joy it brings me with my students. Having studied Spanish all through my years in school, I know that learning a language in school can be challenging, and I want to help with that.

I have mastered the exam techniques you need to pass your GCSE first time with no stress. We will not just look at the content needed to pass but also skills like time management to make sure the exam is passed with ease efficiently. I work with students at any level with any special needs and my lessons are tailored for every individual student.

As a recent graduate from a Master degree in teaching English, with 5 years of experience tutoring French children and students privately. During my two years of master, I taught English to secondary school students.
The theory and the practise, allowed me to develop my teaching skills and through tutoring I have learned to tailor my teaching methods to the student’s needs.
Moreover, throughout my years of tutoring, I could gave back the confidence that students were lacking in their education, which led to one of my students to obtain her “brevet” equivalent of the English GSCE with a high grade.
The success was hinged through the learning material that I created. Indeed, I produced my own lesson plans and I provided weekly progress homework.

A comprehensive English class for beginners to advanced! Taught by a native English speaker and lessons can be in Italian or French. We will be speaking English for most of the class, you will have speaking practice every lesson as well as listening, reading and writing which I will correct and mark. We will have grammar lessons and I will explain common mistakes you make, as well as taking you through complicated pronunciation or grammar rules.

I have an excellent understanding of language, I grew up speaking English and Italian, and I learnt French at school, so I understand how language should be taught and what some common difficulties are. I am also learning Turkish and hopefully soon I will be able to teach in Turkish.

Looking to learn French in a practical, engaging, and effective way? Join my French classes, where I bring my personal experience of living in France and mastering the language to the forefront of my teaching. As a former English tutor to French children, I’ve not only learned the nuances of the language but also how to teach it with precision, patience, and cultural insight.

During my time in France, I immersed myself in everyday conversations, local customs, and formal learning, achieving a proficient level of fluency. My experience working directly with French children has honed my ability to break down the language into manageable steps, making it accessible and enjoyable for learners at every level. I understand the common challenges English speakers face when learning French, and I’ve developed a concrete, proven process to help overcome them.

My teaching approach is structured, personalized, and designed for results. Through a combination of interactive lessons, real-life conversational practice, and a focus on grammar, pronunciation, and cultural context, you’ll develop not just textbook knowledge, but real-world fluency. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I have a clear plan to take you from where you are now to where you want to be.

In my classes, you will:

Gain confidence in speaking and listening through guided conversations and role-play.
Understand the structure and rules of French, making it easier to form sentences and express yourself.
Learn useful, everyday vocabulary to communicate effectively in a variety of situations.
Immerse yourself in French culture, so you can speak the language in a way that feels natural and authentic.
With my hands-on experience and a method that’s been refined and proven, you can trust that you're in capable hands to unlock your full potential in French. Let’s embark on this language journey together!

I love working with adults and children of all ages, which allows me to help them reach their full potential.
I am currently teaching in London at my own college. I have been teaching and preparing students for the last 12 years.

I use different software to teach such as Zoom or Skype.
I use different resources (such as PDF and Word documents) for my classes. I also have a virtual whiteboard available.
A typical session with me takes between 1h30 minutes to 2 hours.
I like helping students that are between A1 to B2 levels however my main goal is to help students to become advanced or fluent.
I would be happy to adapt to any student based on your objective, of course.
One of my main goals is to support your vocabulary and grammar.
What really made me unique is that I was in the same position as you and today I have become fluent.
If you have any questions, you could contact me and I would be glad to have a conversation with you.
See you soon.
