Every person has their own unique way of learning. Your lessons with me are an opportunity to learn English in a supportive, non-judgmental and empathetic environment. We will focus on exactly what you need to gain; learning at your pace; achieving your goals. Lesson times are quality time for you. It is amazing how much you learn in a conducive environment.

We can work on developing grammar, vocabulary, writing or speaking skills.

Do you need English for work, or travel, studying for school exams or university entrance tests? We can work towards any of these goals. All materials will be provided by email. You won’t need to spend time writing lots of notes but rather on having enjoyable and highly productive lessons.

Any age or level is welcome. I have taught children from 4 years of age to adults of 72 years of age; one-to-one lessons or in pairs or small groups.

Classes are conducted online via WhatsApp or Zoom.

In our first online lesson, I would like to find out a little bit about yourself and your reasons for needing English lessons. When I know what you wish to achieve, I can adapt the lesson materials to focus on exactly what you want to do.

I am a TefL accredited English teacher with 16 years of experience teaching one-to-one lessons. I hold three university degrees. I have personal experience learning a new language and can therefore be empathetic in my teaching style as I know how daunting and tough it can be. My aim is to make learning English as easy and uncomplicated as possible for you.

English is no longer a constraint, it is a liberation


>>> MY UNIQUE APPROACH

My approach is designed for those who have tried everything without success, or who are paralyzed by the fear of speaking or blocked in their learning. You repeat, repeat, repeat, but it just doesn't sink in! Forget theoretical lessons, endless conjugations, and decontextualized grammar exercises. My goal is not (only) to give you lessons, but to help you free yourself from your blockages so that you can finally speak and learn English with pleasure and ease.


>>> THE MISTAKE NOT TO MAKE: WHY ARE YOU STUCK?

It's a common misconception that becoming bilingual is as simple as practicing and using tools. Of course, practice is essential, but the heart of the problem lies elsewhere: in your brain. Speaking blocks aren't a lack of skill, but a reaction your brain makes to a situation perceived as dangerous.

This is where neuroscience comes in. The mechanism is simple and powerful:

Every time you've had a negative experience while practicing English (being mocked, having difficulty, experiencing exam stress), your brain has registered that moment as a danger. Or you've tried again and again to learn but it's stuck!

The amygdala, the part of your brain responsible for managing emotions and fears, has created an association between English and stress.

Now, every time you're about to speak or study English, your brain sends a "danger" signal and activates a survival response: freezing. It's a defense mechanism that prevents you from practicing English, or even speaking, even if you know the words.


>>> THE SOLUTION: BEYOND REPETITION

My method goes beyond simple repetition.

As a certified coach specializing in public speaking, I have already supported business leaders with their presentations, students with their oral exams, and individuals with their interviews.

My role is to help you reprogram your brain by dissociating English from fear. We will create new, positive neural connections so that when you speak, or immerse yourself in learning the language, your brain sends a signal of pleasure, not danger.


>>> HOW ARE THE COURSES RUN?

The course of our sessions is simple and focused on your results:

Step 1: Unblocking. We begin by identifying and deconstructing together the fears and barriers that prevent you from expressing yourself. No judgment, only listening and kindness.

Step 2: Playful immersion. We move on to practice. I suggest role-playing games, discussions on topics that interest you, or original activities that make you forget that you're "learning."

Step 3: Consolidation. Each session ends with a time to discuss your progress, your victories (however small), and the areas we will work on.


>>> WHO ARE THESE COURSES FOR?

>< (adults and teens from 8th grade) who have some knowledge of English but are stuck speaking or learning the language. For them, the goal is to regain the confidence needed to express themselves in a personal or professional context. Or to regain confidence in their ability to learn.

>< (CP to CM2) who are discovering English. For young people, Montessori teaching allows them to discover English without the pressure of failure, which protects them from future blockages.


>>> MY MISSION AND MY SPECIFICITY

MY MISSION is to take you from "I can't" to "I can do it, and I love it."

MY SPECIFICITY is not to teach you English, but to show you that you already have it within you. You just have to unleash it.
