Personalized English lessons with a qualified American teacher

From 68 C$ /h

Hello, my name is Rachel. I am an American teacher, a native English speaker, living in La Ciotat.

I hold a Master of Education in Secondary Education and an official American certification in English Language Arts. I have seven years of teaching experience in demanding institutions in the United States and an international school in France.

I offer personalized English lessons for children, teenagers, students, and adults. Depending on your needs, I can support you in the following areas:

• Oral expression and confidence in conversation
• Grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation
• Reading comprehension and literary analysis
• Academic, creative, and argumentative writing
• Organization, development and revision of dissertations
• Academic support and homework help
• Preparation for Cambridge, IGCSE and IB programs
• Preparation for the SAT Reading and Writing
• Applications to American universities

I also support English-speaking children attending French or bilingual schools who wish to maintain and deepen their English reading and writing skills.

Each lesson is tailored to the student's level, goals, interests, and personality. During our initial consultation, we will determine together the skills to be developed and the objectives to be achieved. I then prepare appropriate activities and materials to ensure that each session is structured, engaging, and beneficial.

My goal is not just to correct mistakes, but to help each student understand how to progress and become more independent and confident.

In-person courses in La Ciotat, Cassis and surrounding areas. Videoconference courses available throughout France and internationally.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your level, your goals, and your availability.

About Me

I teach because I love helping students discover that English can become a source of confidence, creativity and genuine connection, not simply another subject they have to study.

I am a warm, patient and encouraging teacher, but I also believe in giving students clear goals and meaningful challenges. I take time to understand each learner’s personality, interests and preferred way of working, then adapt my lessons accordingly. Depending on the student, our sessions may include conversation, games, close reading, writing exercises, exam preparation or structured academic support.

I especially enjoy working with students who want to become more confident and independent, including those who feel anxious about English or have not yet discovered their strengths. I aim to create a comfortable environment in which students can make mistakes, ask questions and take intellectual risks while receiving thoughtful, constructive guidance.

Experience / Qualifications

I have seven years of professional teaching experience in the United States and France. In the United States, I taught English Language Arts at rigorous college-preparatory schools, supporting students in literature, academic and analytical writing, grammar, research and creative expression.

*English Below*

For all levels, for children and adults, as well as preparation for diplomas.
All aspects of the language will be targeted during the lessons, with emphasis on those desired by the student (e.g. conversational, grammar)

Depending on the level, the study method will be adapted to each student, with extracurricular support. Classes will be held in English, French, or both, again depending on the student's needs and level.
Courses focused on language practice can also be organized, focusing on specific topics that interest the student, will allow the student not to lose his knowledge of the language and to further develop his knowledge of the vocabulary in the specific desired area.

Regarding the preparation of diplomas, the courses will cover the specificities of the tests (timing, response format, vocabulary, etc.).

//

For all levels, for both children and adults and diploma preparation.

Classes focused on the maintenance of the language can also be organized, focused on specific topics that the student is interested in, will allow the student not to lose the language and to develop further their knowledge of lexicon in the specific area.

In what concerns diploma preparation, the lessons will focus on the specificities of tests (timing, response format, lexicon, etc).

I am a native English speaker and have six years' experience teaching English to adults and children (read my reviews below). I received my Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Adults from International House in 2008. I am offering lessons to adults and children that will improve your grammar, vocabulary and speaking. I provide all the materials for the lesson and tailor the lesson to your needs. I can do lessons via webcam and can email you materials for the lesson. (webcam lessons price negotiable)
In Paris I taught one to one Business English classes with 'Linguarama' and in Morocco I taught English at two universities and to children, teenagers and adults at a language school.

You will learn Spanish and / or English in a dynamic way with exercises that promote the learning of the language to use it in everyday life as well as in a more formal or even specific setting. My goal is that you can use the language to communicate fluently and enjoy it.

To do this, I use non-formal education methods, these are activities that make it possible to implement the knowledge already acquired of the language and to improve and deepen its level, but also to formal education by explaining grammar or dispelling doubts in order to teach them to express themselves well in writing and orally in formal or informal situations.

In summary, the student will learn grammar and pronunciation through conversations and games.

In addition, the courses will be adapted to the needs and requirements of the student. I offer online courses with multiple digital tools or face-to-face at the student's home if possible.

Do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to answer you.

Hello! My name is Kate and I am an Australian who is has been living in France since 2019. I am fluent in French and English is obviously my native language.

My educational background: I hold a Masters of Art Therapy from The University of Paris with a major in music therapy, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with majors in Music and Psychology, and a Diploma of Languages with a major in French from The University of Queensland, Australia.

As a native English speaker my goal is to instill confidence in my students (of all ages) of their ability to speak, use, and understand English. I use a variety of interactive methods including songs, actions, rhymes, books, and music. I am firm believer in 'trying' and as such I will encourage my students to use their English, regardless of how many faults they may make. It is only from making errors, that we can improve! Additionally, I am happy to work on assignments, test preparation, or any other English homework which may need completing. I can provide homework, or extension tasks as required.

My lessons are largely immersion based, and as such I will avoid the use of French, unless an explanation is needed for clarity. I am happy to adapt to the needs of my students.

I have been teaching English in France since 2019. Prior to arriving in France, I tutored for over two years in Australia, aiding students from ages 8 to 17 with a variety of subjects including English, maths, science, music, and french. I have extensive experience with children: I have been a scout leader since 2020 in Marseille, and have been involved with Girl Guides Australia since I was 7 years old, eventually leading a group of 10-17 year olds for over 4 years before arriving to France.

I am located near Metro Prado, but can travel throughout Marseille. Depending on distance, travel costs may be in addition to class fees.

I have a valid working with children background check in Australia, and hold first aid qualifications in France (PSC1).

My role involved transmitting knowledge and skills, while cultivating the motivation and commitment of learners. I also organized and supervised educational projects, such as sporting events and activities, promoting the development of collective and individual skills.

These experiences allowed me to develop interpersonal skills, strong listening skills, and a structured methodology for achieving educational objectives.

With 7 years of university in addition to those up to the baccalaureate, I am aware of the needs of a student. Passionate about the transmission of knowledge, I continue to self-train with the help of online training and readings.

Hello! My name is Charles and I am an English teacher. With over seven years of experience, I help students improve their English with ease and confidence.

Whether you're a beginner or have already studied English but still feel shy, blocked, or doubtful when speaking, I'm here to support you. You're not alone. That's precisely why I'm here.

I excel in teaching English, not only because of my perfect command of the language, but also because of a clear and effective methodology that prioritizes authentic communication over the simple memorization of grammar rules.

From the very first lesson, my goal is simple: to help you speak.

I create a relaxed and supportive environment where mistakes are welcome, because that's how we progress. I adapt my lessons to your needs: your level, your goals, and your interests, whether you're learning English for work, studies, travel, or simply for everyday life.

Having graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Modern Literature and being perfectly bilingual in English, I offer private lessons tailored to each student, from primary school to high school, and even beyond for certain literary subjects.

I can support students in French (up to high school level, BTS or preparatory classes): text comprehension, writing, essay, commentary, methodology and improvement of written and oral expression.

As a bilingual English speaker, I also offer comprehensive support: vocabulary learning, irregular verbs, sentence construction, oral conversation, written expression, and comprehension. I can also help children discover the language in a fun and progressive way.

I also give lessons in several subjects related to the humanities: history, philosophy, life and earth sciences, and I can help with mathematics up to middle school level.

As a patient and attentive teacher, I place great importance on adapting my methods to each student. Everyone learns differently: my goal is therefore to find the approach that suits them best to make lessons dynamic, interesting, and motivating.

For me, learning should not be a burden, but a time when one progresses while gaining self-confidence.

As a teacher passionate about sharing knowledge, I guide my students with empathy, patience, and a good dose of humor. I taught for over 14 years in South Africa, in an international environment, which allowed me to develop a very practical and communicative approach to English.

My goal: to help you speak English with more confidence, naturalness and spontaneity.

We work together:
• Professional English (meetings, presentations, exchanges with colleagues or clients)
• everyday conversations and small talk
• Idiomatic expressions and slang used in real life
• pronunciation and fluency

Through role-playing and real-life scenarios, you practice English in real-life contexts: travelling, working, meeting new people or simply daring to speak up.

My philosophy: learning through play. A class should be a space where you feel comfortable, motivated, and free to express yourself.
