Over

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!

I create a learning experience (content and pace) adapted to your needs: speaking fluently, DELF/ DALF test preparation, conversations to help with travel or relocation or simply the pleasure of talking about subjects you are interested in. We can have our lessons in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoying various aspects of learning a language. It's not just about memorizing complex conjugations!

I work with a variety of online resources, all of which is shared with you after the lesson. For structure and to evaluate progress, I also work with certain books depending on the level and the requirement. Unless you wish to focus on specific skills, I try to include speaking, listening and reading during the session, while writing exercises are given as homework. Grammar points are handled as and when they come up.

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

I am very flexible in teaching. The aim is for the student to reach a target level as quickly as possible. For this I analyze during the first lesson where the shortcomings are and in this way draw up a learning program (always in consultation with the student/parents).
I attach great importance to learning the perfect pronunciation. I also encourage learning to think in the language learned so that the language can be spoken as soon as possible.
Of course I also explain the grammar rules that are indispensable.
I am pleased when my students get positive results.

If your child is having difficulties in school, I would love to be able to help them overcome them.
I had the opportunity to work in several non-profit organizations (Schola ULB, Youth Club, CIFA, ABEF) where I helped young adolescents understand their subject in French. I also helped them prepare for their exams, including the CEB and CE1D.
We will work together on their lessons, we will review the vocabulary and grammar they need to know and we will work on their difficulties in order to overcome them.
In view of the current situation, I teach only online.

Hello to all of you!
I welcome you to my profile.
You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French.
Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning.
Hence my presence on this site.
My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French.
To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges.
I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere!
You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours.
This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible!
It's all in your favor!
Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.

Writer and poet with 2 books published at only 18 years old with several media appearances (debates on RTBF, RTL, etc.) I am also a finalist in the ELSA 2024 eloquence competition. An experienced and attentive teacher, it is important to me to make each of my students feel comfortable by patiently responding to their individual needs.

Communication is a fairly broad topic. During the courses, we address the specific needs of the student, covering writing, improving register, oral language, eloquence, gestures, languages (English, French), digital communication, and much more!
