Hello :) I teach English for all levels in a friendly, fun and approachable manner. Learning a new language can be very scary...however, learning with me doesn't have to be. I believe the best way to learn, is to speak. In my lessons we will work hard on the areas which you would like to learn most. All of my lessons are made differently for each individual student, giving you your own personal goals. You will be speaking confidently as quickly as possible :)

About Me
Hello :)
I am a native English speaker living in the beautiful city of Lyon, France. I started teaching English when I found the love and desire to travel. I realised that the world is speaking English, and I began to find myself applying for jobs overseas to teach other nationalities my language.
My first experience was when I went to China to teach English to students aged 8-14, and since that day I have had hundreds of students from different nationalities including Chinese, Italian, French and German students.
I love to teach, and I believe the best way of teaching is to speak as much as possible...and thats where I'm here to help :)
Teaching can be scary, however, if you find the right tutor it really doesnt have to be.

Solveig
After a scientific baccalaureate, I completed three years of preparatory classes (B/L) at the Lycée Janson de Sailly in Paris, before gaining admission to the ENS de Lyon through a competitive entrance exam. There, I pursued a course in social sciences, with a Master 1 in sociology followed by a Master 2 in history, completed in Japan.

Today I offer private lessons and academic support for middle and high school levels in several subjects: mathematics, French/literature, history-geography, economics and social sciences, English, German and Japanese.

My goal is not only to help the student with their homework but also to ensure a real understanding of the course, the acquisition of good working methods and a progression towards greater autonomy.

My method


My tutoring sessions are organized according to a few fundamental principles, which are then adapted to the student's needs:

- Review of the lesson with the student: regularity of learning is key to long-term mastery. Depending on the regularity of the sessions, we take time to review the lesson in order to clarify any misunderstandings and verify the acquisition of the fundamentals.

- Homework or application exercises: In the case of homework, we guide the student's thinking while ensuring they remain in control of the process. If no homework has been assigned, I provide homework or application exercises related to the lesson.

- Review of the method: once the lesson has been reviewed and the exercises completed, it is important to ensure that the method has been mastered. Depending on the level, this may involve exercises in essay writing, commentary, composition, or document analysis.

- Deepening knowledge: depending on the time remaining and the ambitions available, I propose problems of higher difficulty in order to push the student to go further.
If relevant, I can also prepare method or summary sheets with the student so that they can use them on their own as well.

I am available to give lessons in Lyon. I can also give lessons remotely – I have the necessary equipment.


The materials I offer

I therefore offer academic support for high school and middle school students in the following subjects:

Mathematics
I studied mathematics intensively during my three years of preparatory classes for the humanities (B/L), at a level of approximately eight hours per week, equivalent to that of a second-year undergraduate student. I have also previously tutored mathematics.
I primarily offer support from middle school to high school, from remedial work to advanced study.

French and letters
The B/L preparatory class allowed me to follow a particularly intensive teaching in literature, with numerous readings, text analyses and essays.
In particular, I can support students in preparing for the brevet and baccalaureate exams, in understanding texts, and in learning essay writing, commentary, and argumentation.

History geography
I studied history and geography in depth during my B/L preparatory classes, through readings, notes, timelines, essays and research projects.
I then continued my studies at the ENS in Lyon, where I completed a Master's degree in history specializing in Japan. I can therefore support students both in terms of knowledge and methodology for writing essays and analyzing documents.

SES and sociology
I studied economics and sociology during my three years of B/L preparatory classes, then continued my training in social sciences at the ENS of Lyon, where I validated a Master 1 of research in sociology.
I can support high school students in Economics and Social Sciences, particularly in understanding the concepts of the curriculum, building reasoning skills, and improving their essays and document analyses.

English
I have a C1 level in English, certified by the Cambridge C1 Advanced. I also spent a year in Japan in an international university environment, where I took courses in English and wrote my assignments in that language.
I can support students in English, both written and spoken, particularly to consolidate grammar, vocabulary and comprehension.

German
I have been studying German since middle school and have regularly stayed in Germany to improve my language skills. I currently have a C1 level and have already taught German.
I primarily offer support from middle school to high school, as well as remedial courses.

Japanese
I spent a year in Japan as part of my Master 2, where I was able to deepen my Japanese through daily classes and regular practice with Japanese speakers.
I offer courses up to level B1, particularly for students wishing to discover the language, improve their speaking skills, consolidate their basics or prepare for a trip to Japan.

Course format

I am also comfortable in group settings and can accompany up to three students of the same level.
Small group classes can be particularly beneficial for classmates wishing to revise together, prepare for an exam, or work on a subject they are struggling with.
In this case, I offer sliding scale pricing per household to make this formula attractive for everyone.

I can also provide occasional help with correcting homework or personal projects, at a reasonable rate.

I offer in-person lessons in Lyon or online. I have the necessary equipment to ensure effective online lessons.

For home lessons, an additional charge may apply when travel is particularly significant or when schedules are restrictive.

Feel free to contact me specifying the student's level, the subject concerned and the objectives sought: we can then determine together the most suitable course format.
