I specialize in teaching English(as foreign language) for children but also for adults.
French is my mother tongue and I speak English for many years thanks to my studies and my working experiences abroad.

I am not reconverting into teaching and I am actually studying to get a CELTA diploma. However, I have been teaching for several years. I engoy teaching and sharing my knowledge. I don understand well the challenges an adult can have and adapt myself to the person and its level.

This class can be support for homework and preparation for exams as well as specific focus on Business English, oral, job interviews, etc...
I like to use different materials for the class such as newspaper articles, songs, everyday life topics but also debates.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

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 young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

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.

Do you want to learn Spanish while having fun? Would you like to focus more on speaking and being able to communicate fluently?
To learn a language we need to talk. That’s why my classes are focused on speaking while learning how to use grammar. You will learn how to use grammar as well as vocabulary without having to spend too much time memorizing. The class can be adapted to your needs, you just need to let me know :) you choose the time you want to spend and the price will be adapted. Totally flexible

French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master.
My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.
