About Me

I believe in traditional learning and teaching. A heart-to-heart connection is essential for digestion of knowledge and without teachers, the world loses its compassion. The reason I became a school teacher is because I enjoy the little moments that learners in a class are able to create around the curriculum; the small comments which are passed and the bonds that are built around a standardised expectation. I wish to develop a relationship with my learners that changes the dynamic of the chore of education to the joy of education!
My students should be curious, strong-willed, confident and unafraid to challenge norms.
I have had the opportunity to teach high school English for 3+ years and it's time to expand my horizons to the virtual world!

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Presentation :
As a former National Education teacher and BAC examiner, I know how to make French enjoyable for struggling students who don't connect with the subject.
Whether it is to explain how to make a dissertation pleasant to read, how to organize a composed commentary or read one's text clearly, distinctly and posed for an oral.
French is not only a subject, French is difficult and requires effort, but these are rewarded!

Method:
My students have always made significant progress, going from an average of 5 per year to having an average of 14 in the French baccalaureate. My last one to send me his results went from 6 in writing and 9 in speaking to 15 in writing and 17 in speaking (EAF 2024 session).
I have been preparing classes for these tests for years, I am up to date on methodology and programs.
My services combine the experience of teaching French and the vivacity of a young teacher who succeeds in motivating the most recalcitrant students.
My students have always made significant progress and above all, go to tests with confidence in their abilities.

I adapt to your level and I give exercises to do for the next course (finish a comment, make an introductory essay ...).
I am nice and enthusiastic but nevertheless serious: you will make satisfactory progress because you will work for 😉

Let’s keep it 💯 — school can feel overwhelming, and students need more than just notes. They need clarity, confidence, and smart strategy.

I help students build strong foundational skills and develop real exam-ready confidence in English and Maths. My approach blends clear teaching, step-by-step practice, and constant feedback so learners actually understand — not just cram.

For GCSE English, we focus on:

Text analysis & annotation

High-impact writing techniques

Critical reading + exam strategy

Model answers + marking-scheme guidance

For Maths (Junior Secondary / KS3):

Core concepts breakdown

Problem-solving confidence

Real-world application mindset

Whether you're prepping for exams or just want a solid academic boost, I’ve got you. Slow pace? Fast learner? No worries — we adjust the plan to match your rhythm and goals.

Ready to level up? Let’s build strong skills and real confidence — lesson by lesson.

In this class, students will improve their Spanish through meaningful conversations about real-world topics such as social issues, culture, emotions, and human values. Each session includes reading and listening activities, vocabulary expansion, and guided discussions that foster critical thinking and personal expression.

The goal is for students not only to speak Spanish fluently, but also to use the language to understand different perspectives, reflect, and confidently share their own ideas.
