Improve your English (the fun way!) with a New Yorker
Hello! I'm so glad you found my class. If you are looking for a casual and fun way to improve your English you have come to the right place!
I've learned that students absorb material the best when they are relaxed, having fun and in real world environments, so I do my best to incorporate those elements in all of my classes.
A typical class involves us taking a stroll down a new neighborhood and chatting casually. Topics range with the student's fluency level, but typically include any of the below:
-- the weather
-- interesting things we pass by on our walk
-- our career aspirations
-- our travel plans or memories
-- favorite television shows
-- intriguing current events and news articles
On the first day I ask that my students bring their language goals written down on a piece of paper. Every class you are also welcome to bring particular questions you have about pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and overall colloquialisms.
I look forward to having you in my class! I am also offering webcam based lessons through October 2020 as I am not in town currently.
Ciao,
Taylor

About Me
Hello Apprentus community! I'm so excited to share my love of languages with you all, and I'm grateful for your eager and receptive attitudes!I keep my classes casual because I've found that students absorb and retain more information when they are having fun and relaxed. Whenever possible I combine a fun activity -- adjusted for the student's age, preferences, and fluency level -- with learning!
When we do in person lessons this means combining a fun walk around a neighborhood learning English in real world scenarios, like ordering a coffee, asking for directions, people watching, describing an interesting building and the weather, as well as talking about your emotions and the current events of the world.
When I conduct webcam or online lessons this usually means basing lessons around a favorite topic or tv show of the student. For example we could watch a 10 minute scene from Gossip Girl with english subtitles on and discuss the scene, the characters, their motivations, dilemmas, and outfits, as well as where they are in New York City.
If students are younger then I incorporate hands on play. We'll finger paint with different colors to learn the colors, we'll play with different shaped objects, and go through picture books in English. We'll play dancing games identifying the parts of our body like "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" and sing the ABC's.
At the beginning of my courses I like to have the students write down their language goals, as well as a written commitment to me and themselves to practice each week. I also encourage students to come to class with one question about the english language!
Looking forward to getting to know you and celebrating the diversity and ingenuity of humans via language!

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor 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!

Welcome to French Class for Kids ! 🇫🇷✨ Learn & Play!Welcome to French Class! 🇫🇷✨For children 👧👦🫶
I’m Valerie, an experienced French teacher working with the Alliance Française in collaboration with the European School. I’ve been teaching kids online for years, and here’s the thing — it works amazingly well! Parents are often skeptical at first. I get it. Online learning can sound a bit... off. But surprise! Kids love it.
Why does it work so well?
✅ They’re at home, comfy and relaxed — no stress, no pressure.
✅ Learning feels natural and fun, with games, songs, videos, and even role-plays to keep things interesting.
✅ We create together! From crafts and memory games to designing fun activities they can even share and play with their parents afterward.
✅ It’s super convenient for parents. No driving around, just a simple click, and voilà!
I teach children aged 6 to 12 online, and they’re absolutely thriving. Some are even preparing for their DELF A2, B1, or B2 exams with great results.
And if you’re wondering if it’s worth trying — why not just give it a go? You might be surprised at how much your child loves it.
