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.

My goal is to allow you to learn but especially to understand and that in a good mood. Without pressure, no judgment, relaxed atmosphere and good atmosphere guaranteed.

Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual.

My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to:
. Develop and widen their vocabulary;
. Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview;
. Gain confidence in spoken English;
. Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English

We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors.

After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

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.
