English as a foreign language - academic and professional purpose

From 72 C$ /h

Hello!

I am Brazilian and I have lived in Lyon since June 2023. I have solid training in the field of languages and literature, with a master's degree in Brazilian literature and a doctorate in American literature. I have been to the United States several times, the last time as a researcher at Princeton University, for a year (2019-2021) as part of my doctoral training. I have a lot of experience teaching languages and literatures, but currently I work in the hotel industry on a permanent basis, and I am looking for a few students to give private lessons.
My working method always focuses on the student, knowing that everyone learns in a different way. In addition, I understand language as a dynamic and living phenomenon, which is why I think that teaching a language is also sharing a culture.

Hello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context.
For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot.

For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand).

Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

With 4 years of teaching experience and having grown up in the United States, I offer English courses designed to meet the needs of post-baccalaureate students preparing for an exchange abroad, as well as professionals wishing to strengthen their language skills in an international context.

My approach is resolutely hands-on: each session focuses on practical language practice through real-life scenarios, oral exchanges, targeted exercises and a variety of materials.

My method aims to establish learning habits tailored to each profile. Whether visual, written, or reading-based approaches, instruction is personalized based on each learner's preferences and the most effective memorization method. This adaptation optimizes comprehension, fluency, and knowledge retention.

The objective: to enable each student or professional to acquire a natural, effective and lasting mastery of English, to evolve with confidence in an English-speaking environment.

Hello everyone !
I am a political science student in Lyon, currently in my second year, and I offer English, history-geography, HGGSP and French lessons, as well as the possibility of French lessons for primary, middle and high school levels.

Learn more about my academic background:
- I obtained my general baccalaureate with highest honors and the jury's congratulations
- I obtained my Cambridge Certificate level B2/C1
- I passed my first year of undergraduate studies with a 15 average.

Learn more about my experience:
I always found school easy, with a good memory and quick comprehension. So, two years ago, I decided to put my skills to use. I've worked with several students who learn at a slower pace and need more attention and guidance, as well as some who simply needed a little help with their homework.
In short, I will adapt to your child's/your needs. I am very attentive to my students' comfort. I am a skilled and creative teacher, and I will do everything I can to help you progress at your own pace.

Feel free to contact me for more information.

I am bilingual in French and English and I had the opportunity to study for several years in a boarding school in England. I was therefore immersed in the language on a daily basis, which allowed me to develop a very good level of fluency in both spoken and written English.

I offer courses tailored to each individual's level and objectives.

For those who primarily want to improve their speaking skills, I can provide total immersion courses, with only exchanges in English, obviously adapting the vocabulary and difficulty to the student's level.

For beginners or those who prefer to progress more gradually, I can also alternate between French and English in order to explain concepts, work on vocabulary, grammar and comprehension as we go along.

The main idea is to adapt to each person and to create classes in which they feel comfortable so they can progress without pressure!

Does English seem complicated in class or do you not dare to speak up? Don't panic! This course has been specially designed for middle school students and complete beginners who want to start again on a solid foundation, without stress and in a good mood.

Together, we'll transform English into a living, easy-to-understand tool. No more boring rote learning: I use concrete examples (TV series, music, games, everyday life) to help you retain vocabulary and grammar naturally.

What we will do during the sessions:

Unlocking oral skills: learning to pronounce and make simple sentences with confidence.

Mastering the middle school curriculum: reviewing lessons not understood in class, preparing for tests and succeeding in homework.

Tailor-made method: progress at your own pace with interactive and fun exercises.

A graduate engineer from INSA, holding a Master's degree in scientific research (two engineering schools), after a baccalaureate in mathematical sciences and two years of preparatory classes, I have been teaching mathematics and physics-chemistry for 2 years, from middle school to the second year of university. My goal: to help each student progress, regain confidence and become independent.

Why choose my courses?

Would you like your child (or yourself) to:
✔ Significantly improves their results in math and physics/chemistry?
✔ Are you calmly preparing for the brevet, the baccalaureate, or the midterms?
✔ Are you aiming for a selective course (preparatory class, engineering school, science degree)?
✔ Become autonomous and confident when facing exercises?

For the past two years, I have been supporting a community of students of all levels: from middle school (grades 6-9) to high school (grades 10-12), up to the first and second years of university. More than 7 students supported and a real result: successful completion of the national diploma, baccalaureate, and midterms.

My 3-step method:

1. Short term: improve grades. We understand the course material, we practice with typical exercises, we learn to write and anticipate test questions.

2. Medium term: establish a work method. Your child learns to work regularly: understand, practice, prepare for assessments, analyze their mistakes.

3. Long term: gaining confidence. We set clear objectives, we build the steps to achieve them, and we discover that math and physics are simpler when we understand the logic behind the formulas.

My strength: my engineer's perspective. I connect theory to concrete applications (computer science, electronics, applied physics) so that concepts make sense, instead of just learning formulas by heart.

Subjects: mathematics (analysis, algebra, probability), physics, electricity, chemistry, thermodynamics.

Details of the formula:
- Sessions of 1.5 to 2 hours, once or twice a week depending on your goals
- Home lessons in Lyon and surrounding areas (Villeurbanne, Caluire, Bron, Vénissieux, Écully, Tassin...) or online using tools like Google Meet, Zoom... with a virtual whiteboard if you use it.
- Exercises and revision sheets adapted to each student [if true]
- Regular monitoring with a progress report
