About Me

I have been teaching the English and French languages for the last 20 years. Being born and raised near Toulon, in the Southeastern part of France, French is my native language. In middle school, I was introduced to my first foreign language (English) and it was very hard for me as the methods used by my teachers (memorization and repetition) did not work for me. When I was 17 years old and about to enter my last year of high school, my English teacher recommended that I study abroad in an English-speaking country for a few months. My parents agreed and I was sent to the USA as an exchange student for one year.

Being completely immersed from day-one in English was very difficult but it worked very well. I started improving steadily and rapidly, and I returned to France completely bilingual. After graduating from France with a baccalauréat degree majoring in French and English, I returned to the United States to attend college, where I majored in English. There I met my husband, started a family and ended up living in the US for 15 years, continuing to improve my knowledge and grasp of the English language, and finally achieving the fluency of a native speaker.

During my 15 years of living on the West coast of the USA, I taught English and French to a variety of students: preschoolers, school-age children, teenagers, adults, and seniors. My experience teaching professional/corporate as well as casual French and English courses has allowed me to successfully mentor and coach people starting from different levels and with personal goals.

My own experience in the USA working in different fields (education, marketing, sales, medical, non-profit, government…) helps me give my students practical advice on navigating their professional world successfully despite not being an English (or French) native speaker.

Since moving back to Europe, I have obtained my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate, and I’ve been teaching at a language school in Amsterdam. My experience has also included helping students prepare for English and French eindexamen (VWO, HAVO, etc…) and coaching students in preparation for their admission essays and interviews to enter higher-education institutions (hotel school, masters programs abroad, etc…). These last few years, I have also been teaching English on-location for NGOs and financial institutions. I have also been tasked with coaching HR Coordinators, Executive Assistants, EMEA Sales Directors, government employees, teachers, and helping public speakers to prepare for presentations, conferences, YouTube broadcasts, etc.

I’ve also helped prepare employees being relocated abroad (for example, to France and to Belgium).

My method has proven results: several of my professional students were promoted, the relocations went smoothly, and many of my school-age students passed their exams and/or were accepted into their chosen schools. The efficiency of my method revolves around a total-immersion approach from the very first lesson. With me, the English class will be taught in English and French class will be taught in French, no matter the level from which you are starting. We will work together to create an understanding and confidence in using your target language, whether for professional or casual uses. My lessons cover language (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, idioms, etc…) as well as an introduction to culture along with some practical tips.

I look forward to meeting you and to work with you toward achieving your goals!

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.
