About Me

A Canadian harpist passionate about what I do. I started the harp at 9 years old with a wonderful teacher who, by coincidence, was in the lineage of a world-renowned harpist woul would become my harp teacher much later.

During my time at university, I had the chance to play with many orchestras and varied ensembles. What encompasses my many years is the passion to make the connection with someone by doing or teaching music. Music transcends all barriers.

After graduating from my Master's, I've had many opportunities to teach harp during the past 11 years to all ages and levels, and I have discovered many important and very real things about pedagogy.

I aspire to make this connection with all my students, so that they may feel the same joy of learning that I had.

As a trilingual language teacher (native Spanish, C2 level French, bilingual English), I offer personalized Spanish lessons for children, teenagers and adults, adapted to all levels (beginner to intermediate).

My courses are structured according to the CEFR levels and aim for the balanced development of skills: listening and reading comprehension, speaking and writing, as well as grammatical accuracy and fluency.

Each session is tailored to the learner's specific needs: academic support, exam preparation, communication improvement, or professional development. I place particular emphasis on identifying errors, providing clear and structured feedback, and offering gradual support to build confidence and linguistic independence.

Thanks to my experience in teaching in France and online, I use a variety of resources (digital media, interactive activities, role-playing) to make learning dynamic, effective and motivating.

Hello to you !

Let me introduce myself: I am Lucien, currently a third-year student of Applied Foreign Languages (LEA) at the Sorbonne where I am learning English, German and Italian.
I have always been passionate about languages and their transmission. I first obtained my Baccalaureate in European section with the distinction "Very Good" (19/20 in the Contemporary World English (AMC) specialty exam and in my DNL oral exam), before obtaining my Cambridge certificate at level B2.

Subsequently, I underwent a demanding course of study in preparatory classes for the Grandes Écoles (CPGE) where I strengthened my skills in translation, literary analysis, and my cultural knowledge.
Today, I have reached C2 level, solidified by my academic and professional background. I continue to improve my English every day in a professional context at the Sorbonne. I am currently living in the Netherlands for three months as part of my final internship for my Bachelor's degree in International Communication, an ideal immersion for practicing English daily.

I am ready to put my skills and passion at the service of students of all levels, from primary school to the professional world, to help you progress effectively towards your goals. I strive to create the most supportive environment possible, because there's nothing better for progress than feeling confident.

If you're still reading this, let me tell you about my method:
My goal is to make English accessible and motivating, adapting to each of your needs. I can help you with:

• Academic support: consolidating the basics, reviewing grammar and enriching vocabulary.
• Preparation for tests and exams: Brevet, Baccalaureate, certifications (Cambridge, TOEIC...), or even the ENS entrance exams.
• Oral training: developing fluency, working on pronunciation and gaining self-confidence.
• The methodology of specific exercises: translation (from and into French), literary commentary, essay...
• Cultural enrichment: discovering the literary works and civilizational issues of the English-speaking world.
• Professional English: mastering the vocabulary of the business world and international trade.

And much more...

My method is based on a dynamic and interactive approach, combining rigor and the joy of learning to restore confidence and a love of English. There is no ideal level to start at: I adapt to each individual, whether it's acquiring a solid foundation, overcoming a learning block, or perfecting your skills according to your goals.
