Tired of struggling to speak? Finally speak naturally with an American teacher (15+ years of experience)

From 79.56 C$ /h

For over 15 years, I have been helping students and professionals move from understanding English to speaking English with ease, naturalness and confidence.

You understand English... but you struggle with speaking it? That's normal — the problem often comes from the method, not from you.

With a clear and structured approach combined with real-world practice, you progress quickly and finally use English in concrete situations.

▸ MY APPROACH
I combine structured grammar and real conversation so you can speak, think, and react directly in English. You no longer have to choose between understanding and speaking—you do both.

▸ TWO TYPES OF STUDENTS
I primarily work with two types of clients:

• Structured progression
You build a solid foundation (grammar, vocabulary, structure) for work, studies or everyday life.

• Fluidity and ease
You already have a certain level but you want to speak more naturally, gain confidence and be comfortable in real-life situations.

For example: interviews, meetings, presentations, exchanges with international teams.

▸ PROFESSIONAL ENGLISH
With a background in American business school and experience in a professional environment, I help you communicate effectively in English in real-life contexts.

▸ OBJECTIVE
Speak with confidence, fluency, and precision.

If you are serious about your progress and want concrete results, let's begin.

Extra information

Courses tailored to your objectives: exams, work, conversation, professional English.
I speak French if necessary, but the goal is to make you think in English.

About Me

For more than 15 years, my students — both students and professionals — rely on my background in business school (Villanova University, Master’s level) and my experience on Wall Street (Deloitte, Certified Public Accountant / Morgan Stanley, investment advisor) to master precise, natural English adapted to professional environments.

You understand English... but you get stuck when speaking? That’s normal. The problem is not you — it’s the method you’re using.

Clear, structured explanations + real practice — no need to choose between understanding and speaking.

▸ MASTER ENGLISH WITH CONFIDENCE AND CLARITY

You want to improve your English... but the real question is: with whom?

Why choose between a teacher who explains clearly and a native speaker with whom conversation feels more natural — when you can have both?

In practical terms: you progress quickly, gain confidence speaking, and become able to express yourself precisely in your studies, exams, or professional environment.

▸ MY APPROACH

I combine structure and real conversation so you don’t just learn English — you actually use it.

You learn to speak, think, and react directly in English. That’s where real progress happens.

▸ TWO TYPES OF STUDENTS I WORK WITH

Over the years, I’ve worked with two main profiles.

• PROFILE 1 — Structured progression (A1 → B1/B2)

You need to build a solid foundation:
✓ grammar
✓ vocabulary
✓ sentence structure

Often for:
• work
• exams
• moving abroad
• daily life

→ This is a core part of my work, which I’ve refined successfully for over 15 years.

• PROFILE 2 — Fluency and speaking confidence

You already have a good level... but you need to:
✓ speak more naturally
✓ gain confidence
✓ react quickly in real situations

For example:
• interviews
• meetings with international teams
• exchanges with English-speaking clients
• real-time conversations

→ This is often where students plateau — and where I help you break through.

▸ WHAT STUDENTS REALLY WANT

Let’s be honest.

Most students don’t just want “lessons.”
They want to:
✓ speak freely
✓ become more fluent
✓ feel comfortable
✓ express their ideas

We can cover any topic:
business, travel, interviews, current events, daily life...

▸ BUSINESS ENGLISH — MY ADVANTAGE

Before teaching, I worked in finance in the United States, notably at Deloitte and Morgan Stanley.

I graduated from Villanova University, a recognized American business school (Master’s level), and I am also a Certified Public Accountant.

In France, I’ve worked with professionals in demanding environments:
• Michelin — industry / tires
• Société Générale — banking / finance
• Linde — industrial gases
• CNRS — research / innovation
• Oncrawl — SaaS / tech
• Minea — digital marketing / e-commerce
• Finopti — finance / client relations
• Lime — mobility / tech
• Nice Côte d’Azur Airport — international operations
• Cap Médecine — medical English / healthcare
• ESCG Nice — business school / accounting
• Mercure Hotels — hospitality

→ I help you not only speak English, but communicate like a native in real professional contexts.

▸ STUDENTS

✓ Middle school / high school students (exams)
✓ Adults (general English, fluency)
✓ Professionals (business English, interviews, presentations)

Hello,

With 4 years of speech therapy studies and holder of a diploma in teaching French as a foreign language (DAEFLE), I cultivate a real passion for our language that I would like to pass on to you in order to help you overcome your difficulties.

For the past eight years, I have been teaching people of all nationalities and levels in Nice, either as a private tutor or as a teacher in several French schools for foreigners.
Accustomed to interacting with all types of profiles, I can easily determine your level and needs from the first lesson and then, according to your desires and requirements, I propose the path to follow to move forward together in your learning of French.
My diverse experiences in this field (teacher, examiner, educational coordinator...) as well as in speech therapy where I have completed numerous internships with children, adolescents and adults with difficulties, have contributed to enriching my pedagogical and relational skills (being patient, attentive and reassuring in the face of obstacles and "blockages").

Classes can take place at my home or yours in Nice, in a public place (if you especially want to improve your conversation) or online.

Bonjour ! I’m Mélanie — a native French teacher (and English too 😄) based in Nice.

I help learners of all levels make real progress in French — without boring or overly academic lessons. My approach is dynamic, personal, and focused on what truly matters to you: speaking naturally, feeling confident, and enjoying the process.

Over the past few years, I’ve guided hundreds of students to excellent results by using creative, interactive methods adapted to their goals — whether that’s improving conversation, preparing for exams, or learning for travel or work.

I also offer “in-context” French lessons, where we can practise French in real situations — at a café, museum, market, or walking through the old town. It’s a fun, immersive way to learn that makes the language come alive.

Each lesson is tailored to your needs, pace, and personality — so you’ll always feel supported and motivated.

📍 Available for in-person and online lessons

Send me a message with what you’d like to work on — I’d be happy to help you reach your next level in French!

À bientôt,
Mélanie

I'm a high school student so I have no experience but it's my passion to help people improve in whatever they do.
It's my goal to make my student understand and want to learn.

This course is designed to help beginners improve and motivate them. I'll teach them grammar and help them improve their pronunciation. I can also help children with their English homework.

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

French-American professor graduated from Yale in comparative literature. 10 years of experience, more than 300 students followed. Comfortable with professionals as well as children and even babies. With professionals I use my academic and professional background to quickly adapt to the student's requirements (high-level positions in the energy and private banking sectors. Students from all backgrounds including VIPs, university courses in finance and law). With children I use the Cambridge Fun series, enhanced with videos, games and songs. With babies I simply play or go to the park. Preparation for TOEFL, Cambridge, IELTS and TOEIC exams possible.

I am able to give math lessons up to the final year of high school (French curriculum, IB or SAT)

If he is looking for a tutor, I can also help the student work more generally, follow his homework, help him understand all of his subjects and prepare for his tests.
