About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I have been giving private and small group lessons in France since 2010 after spending 20 years in the United States. There, I worked in tourism before resuming my studies in Florida.

I adapt to the personality and needs of my students. I know how to give or restore confidence to shy people, and I have unlimited patience.

I like to use real documents (videos, websites, articles) and I use the games to make the course more lively and fun, even for the gamma.

Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture. My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together.
