FUN ENGLISH LESSONS FOR CHILDREN WITH LEARNING BOOKS

From 85 C$ /h

English Classes for Kids Ages 1–7
My English classes are designed especially for young children aged 1–7. I create a fun, friendly, and engaging environment where children can discover English naturally through songs, stories, games, movement, pictures, and playful activities.

The classes introduce children to the basic foundations of English, including everyday vocabulary, simple phrases, pronunciation, listening, and early communication skills. Children are encouraged to participate, repeat, explore, and use English in a natural and enjoyable way.

Depending on their age and level, children may learn:

Colors, numbers, shapes, animals, food, toys, family, and everyday objects
Simple greetings and introductions
Everyday words and phrases
Basic questions and answers
Songs, rhymes, and stories in English
Listening and understanding simple instructions
Pronunciation and clear speech
Confidence in speaking and communicating in English
The goal is not only to teach English, but to help children feel comfortable and confident using it. Each lesson is adapted to the child's age, level, interests, and learning pace, making English a fun and positive part of their early development.

I teach students, as well as adults who want to improve their English for professional reasons.
My experience over the past 10 years has allowed me to develop a simple and effective method that adapts to the needs of the student, taking into account their interests. This way, the student becomes seriously involved and progresses quickly.
My native ear allows me to have a real impact on the pronunciation and accent of the student, without ever neglecting the importance of learning to write. In addition, my experience as a translator allows me to teach the different nuances of the language in the most efficient way possible.

Learn the language of Shakespeare in a fun way. Read classics, play with colors, cross-reference different texts, films, or series, and above all, become an expert on grammar...

Here is the program that we will include with variations depending on the learning profile.

As a French-German and trilingual student (French and German as native languages – English CEC C1), I offer tutoring and homework help for students from primary to secondary I and II (approximately 10 to 20 years old).
I provide support in all subjects, although French and languages are my specialty.

Having already completed several years of tutoring, I have a great capacity for adaptation, and above all, we will build the pace of the tutoring together according to your needs. Furthermore, my experience as an older sister has taught me how to create a reassuring and motivating environment for learning and education.

Each session is fully personalized:
• Review and explanation of concepts not understood,
• adapted exercises,
• Preparation for tests, assessments and exams
• homework help,
• Methodological support (work organization, memorization, writing, autonomy).

I place particular importance on a caring approach to help each student progress, strengthen their skills and gain confidence!

My name is Nicolas, and I'm an English teacher with eight years of teaching experience. I've spoken English since I was a teenager and have continued to practice it through my many travels. My level was further improved during an extended stay in Canada. In 2018, I passed the TEFL Cambridge exam, the English as a Foreign Language Teaching Certificate.

Having also gone through the process of learning to speak this language, I am well aware of the different stages my students go through. This helps considerably.

My courses are custom-built to achieve personal goals and are adapted to the specific needs of each individual.

Practice is prioritized throughout the learning process to foster independence as quickly as possible. Basic grammar and vocabulary concepts are also covered, depending on the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced (improvement, exam preparation: TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC);
- Professionals (business English, interview preparation).

Feel free to contact me for more information.

With pleasure :)
