About Me
I am an Executive Multilingual Coach specializing in high-level communication in English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

I have experience with kids, teenagers, and adults since 1999.

With a background in international business, operations management, and language education, I help professionals, entrepreneurs, and global teams communicate with clarity, confidence, and cultural intelligence.

My sessions are not traditional language lessons. They are strategic communication trainings designed for:

• Executives and managers
• Entrepreneurs expanding internationally
• Professionals preparing for presentations or negotiations
* Kids and Teenagers that need help for school & test preparation
• Teams working in multicultural environments
• High-performing women building global influence

I combine language instruction with real-world application, cultural insight, and executive-level vocabulary so you don’t just “learn a language” — you use it strategically.

What Makes My Coaching Different

✔ Executive-level vocabulary and real business scenarios
✔ Conversation-focused and results-driven
✔ Customized curriculum (textbook or curated materials)
✔ Structured programs with measurable progress
✔ Cultural fluency training
✔ Available worldwide via Microsoft Teams

My approach integrates communication psychology, practical vocabulary, structured grammar refinement, and confidence-building exercises.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education.
I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love.

My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education.

I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.

Is your child changing school systems, preparing to enter a French- or English-speaking school, or simply looking to become more confident in speaking and writing? I design a tailored programme in French or English. 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 🇫🇷
Who it's for: children and teenagers (primary, middle and high school), in international schools, moving between two systems or catching up.
Children who change schools and countries often are remarkably capable, but they rarely get to build a stable sense of "this is my place." In each lesson, your child practises speaking with confidence, leading part of the session, defending an idea and reflecting on their own progress. The goal is not only a stronger level in French or English, but a child who walks into a new classroom knowing they have something to say.
How I work: a first diagnostic lesson to identify level and goals, followed by a personalised learning plan. Every session is prepared for your child: conversation, reading, writing and study skills. Parents receive regular feedback.
My background: bilingual English-French, teaching experience in France, Finland (non-formal education) and an elite international school in Switzerland.
I take a limited number of students to guarantee quality follow-up.

This class is for anyone who wants to learn or improve their Brazilian Portuguese, whether you are a complete beginner or already have some knowledge of the language.

The lessons are adapted to your goals and can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, writing, or a combination of these. You will learn how to communicate more naturally in Brazilian Portuguese and understand how the language is actually used in everyday situations.

If your goal is conversation, we can use topics that interest you to build your vocabulary and speaking confidence. I take notes during our conversations and give you corrections and feedback without constantly interrupting you, so you can speak freely while still learning from your mistakes.

If you want to improve your grammar, we will focus on the structures you actually need and how they are used in real Brazilian Portuguese. I also like to explain the difference between textbook Portuguese and the way Brazilians naturally speak.

Pronunciation can also be part of our lessons, including sounds that are often challenging for learners, such as the nasal sounds in words like *pão*, *não* and *vão*. The goal is clear and natural communication, rather than trying to eliminate your accent.

Every lesson is adapted to your level, interests and learning needs. Whether you are learning Portuguese for travel, work, relationships, studies, or simply because you love the language and Brazilian culture, we can build the lessons around your goals.
