I offer personalized courses with the aim of improving your ability to communicate in English, either in the professional field, in personal life - or both.

Customized courses.
All levels: beginner - independent - advanced
Each course is structured around four stages:
- Teaching
- Training
- Acquisition
- Application
In general (unless otherwise requested by the learner) courses are based on oral comprehension and expression (70%) and written comprehension and expression (30%).
Every learner is unique. The skills needed to communicate effectively are the same for everyone, but each person has their own pace and sensitivity.
Extra information
Before the service, we will conduct a (free) interview in two parts: oral and written. This allows us to:
- Identify the current level on the CEFR scale (A1 to C2)
- Define needs / objectives
- Develop a proposed educational program

British, residing in Gironde, I have lived in France for over 20 years. I graduated from the University of Portsmouth (UK) with a BSc in Biology.
I have over 25 years of experience in English training for adults. I am often contacted by companies for continuing education programs.
My interests are: history, reading, rugby, walking and curiosity.

Hélène
My name is Hélène.
I have lived abroad for over 25 years: in Great Britain where I taught French, then in Belgium where I worked on different projects with the European institutions, and finally in Italy for 20 years where I was called upon to teach Frech to Foreigners at the University of Turin and where, at the same time, I directed cultural projects related to Francophone litterature in an institution called il Circolo dei Lettori.
My way of teaching French as a Foreign Language is different from formalised learning processes, it is pragmatic, progressive and tailor-made.
Why?
First of all, because, before I became a teacher, I have been confronted to learning other languages: English, then Spanish, Portuguese and finally Italian.

I have thus understood what is useful, mainly what is not, to enter another language, what gives the satisfaction of rapid progress in speaking, understanding, and writing... without approaches that are too often useless, time-consuming and costly for an unsatisfactory results.
The FLE tuition, that is to say French as a Foreign Language, is intended for those who wish to learn French in order to be able to live in French-speaking environnement.
However, it can also be of grat help for children/teens who do not have the grammatical fundamentals in order to be better at school.
A language, any language, cannot be acquired just "at random", it has a structure, the grammar through which we must progress to learn.
DON'T PANIC, GRAMMAR CAN BE APPROACHED WITH FUN & PLEASURE!
My approach is TAILOR-MADE TO EACH, SO THAT FRENCH CAN BE USEFUL TO YOU IN REAL LIFE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

All my many students so far have liked the progression I give to my lessons and the relevance of my pedagogical approach, serious and easy-going at the same time.
