Experience / Qualifications

With over 8 years of experience as an ESL teacher and tutor, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages and backgrounds, helping them enhance their English language abilities. My teaching journey has taken me to diverse locations such as Seoul, South Korea, Madrid, Spain, and Australia, where I gained valuable insights into different cultures and teaching methodologies.

During my time in Seoul, I taught English as a Second Language to students of various age groups, ranging from young learners to adults. This experience allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by ESL learners and implement effective teaching strategies to address their specific needs.

In Madrid, I had the opportunity to work in a bilingual school, teaching English to students in the Primary and Intermediate levels. This experience honed my skills in creating engaging lesson plans, fostering a supportive learning environment, and promoting language development across different curriculum areas.

Upon relocating to Vancouver, I joined the West Vancouver school district, working as a primary and intermediate English and French teacher. Beyond my work in formal educational settings, I have also dedicated a significant portion of my career to one-on-one tutoring. Over the course of 8 years, I have worked closely with students of all ages, tailoring my teaching approach to meet their specific goals and learning styles. Whether it was helping young learners with basic language skills or assisting adults in advancing their English proficiency, I have always strived to create personalized learning experiences that foster growth and confidence.

Through my diverse experiences as an ESL teacher and tutor, I have developed a deep passion for empowering students to overcome language barriers and reach their full potential. My commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, combined with my extensive expertise, allows me to guide students on their language learning journey with patience, empathy, and enthusiasm.

Young Learners English Lessons (Early Literacy and Phonics) - Learn to read and write!

66 C$ /h

My English lessons designed for young ESL students, focus on phonics and early literacy skills.

These are interactive lessons, carefully crafted to engage young learners, making the process of learning English enjoyable and effective. I understand the importance of building a strong foundation in phonics, as it lays the groundwork for reading, writing, and overall language development.

Throughout our lessons I will guide students through various phonics principles, teaching them the sounds and letter combinations that form the building blocks of the English language. From identifying consonants and vowels to blending sounds and decoding words, students will gain the essential skills necessary for reading and pronunciation.

In addition to the comprehensive lessons, my students also receive free access to an exceptional reading platform tailored specifically for their needs. In addition to this platform, I also provide customized resources tailored to my individual students and families! Therefore, my students are equipped with games to continue their learning at home!

My goal is to foster a love for reading and language in your young learners, equipping them with the tools they need to become confident English speakers!

I am a trained French teacher with a degree in linguistics. I have been teaching since 2012 and I support candidates in improving their French and preparing for official exams.

The preparation is fully tailored to your level, the date of your exam and the skills you need to strengthen.

We are working on the different challenges:
- listening comprehension;
- understanding of written texts;
- written production;
- oral production.

The goal is not only to improve your French, but also to understand what examiners expect and to learn how to respond effectively to exam instructions.

Depending on your needs, we can work on methodology, organization of ideas, argumentation, grammar, vocabulary, time management and correction of written or oral productions.

Exercises and practice topics may be offered between lessons to track your progress and identify areas that require more work.

As the exam approaches, we can also carry out simulations under conditions close to the real test, particularly for oral production.

Before we begin, simply tell me the diploma and level you are preparing for, the scheduled date of the exam, and the difficulties you wish to work on as a priority.

As a doctoral student in comparative literature at the University of Montreal, I offer personalized support in French writing aimed primarily at students and adults wishing to improve their writing.
The sessions may focus on structuring a text, formulating a problem, organizing ideas, clarity of argumentation, syntax, vocabulary, reformulation, or correcting recurring errors.
For students in literature and humanities, I can also support the methodological work related to the dissertation, commentary, text analysis, the construction of a problem and the development of a plan.
The work is based on your own texts, your difficulties, and your goals. The idea is to understand what can be improved, to develop reusable methods, and to progress toward clearer, more precise, and more independent writing. In most cases, significant progress can already be observed after two to three sessions.
This support is also suitable for people whose native language is not French and who wish to gain fluency in their academic or professional writing.
