About Me

I am a compassionate, creative individual with a passion for teaching languages. I am very agreeable and I believe in an open-door policy. I am good listener, and I can sum up a situation very fast. I am very perceptive and should it be necessary, I can be an agony aunt. But first and foremost, I am an educator. I am in your corner, given you also pull your weight.

Being able to teach Afrikaans or English, gives me a sense of purpose. I am a motivator, an enforcer and I always want the best for my learners according to what they are able to deliver according to their abilities.

I meet the learner on the level they are at, and I also rely on the learner to point out areas in which they need extra attention. I tutored a learner with special needs Afrikaans Eerste Addisionele Taal for 3 years - from grade 10 - 12 and her marks improved. I tutored private learners in Saudi Arabia (English) and in 2025 I tutored a grade 8 learner. I have 15 years of teaching experience in mainstream schools, in LSEN schools and as a Learning Support Teacher. I am especially focused on improving reading comprehension. I use worksheets, or the learner provides me with the material they are struggling with. I build exercises and classes accordingly.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

Communication is the most versatile and sought-after skill today. Whether it's to succeed in an oral exam, convince during a job interview, lead a professional meeting, or simply overcome shyness and express oneself clearly, speaking is something that can be learned and practiced.

I offer you tailored support to unlock your potential, structure your thinking and give impact to your interventions, both oral and written (in person or online).
The strategic focus of our work:
Ease and Oral Eloquence: In-depth work on non-verbal communication (posture, gaze, gestures) and paraverbal communication (voice management, intonation, rhythm, silences).

Managing stage fright and stress: Breathing and grounding techniques to overcome the fear of public speaking and transform stress into positive energy.

Structuring techniques: Learning impactful argumentative structures. How to capture attention from the first few seconds, maintain audience interest, and conclude with a powerful message.

Written expression techniques: Clarity of style, choice of vocabulary, writing of professional emails, reports or impactful speeches.

✅Practical sessions aimed at providing you with tools, techniques, methods and strategies to better formulate your messages, choose the right words and arguments, and more effectively obtain what you want, by understanding the psychology of your interlocutors and the mechanisms of human communication.

You're constantly negotiating—at work, with your family, in your relationships. The difference between reaching an agreement and remaining dissatisfied often lies in how things are said, the timing, and the other person's understanding. The goal is to learn to decode your interlocutors (their motivations, resistance, and ways of operating) and adapt your verbal and non-verbal communication to be better understood, without confrontation or power struggles, with finesse and efficiency, until these reflexes become second nature.

The approach integrates the analysis of behaviors, modes of expression, and verbal and non-verbal signals (semiotics, relational dynamics, profiles, and human reactions) to identify expectations, obstacles, and motivations. This allows for precise adjustment of communication and maximizes the impact of each interaction, whether in a professional or personal context.

Rather than generic techniques, it is about understanding the real functioning of the human being and adapting one's discourse to the person in front of: capturing attention, arousing curiosity, reducing resistance and triggering action.

Objective: to concretely increase your chances of obtaining the desired result, with efficiency, finesse and respect for others.

Learning to speak English fluently is about more than memorizing grammar rules—it's about feeling at ease when you need to use it: in conversations at work, in school, while traveling, or in everyday situations that call for quick, natural responses.

With experience teaching adult professionals on language and travel communication, I focus on building both your language skills and your confidence. My feedback approach draws on mindfulness principles, helping you notice and release the self-judgment or anxiety that often gets in the way of speaking freely, as non-native speakers often feel. Rather than fixating on every mistake, we work on staying present and communicating clearly. I will help you improve your English skills through consistent fluency practice, paired with mindful, constructive correction—so growth feels natural, not stressful.

This class covers practical, real-world English — conversations at work and in school, travel scenarios, and everyday interactions — while also expanding your vocabulary naturally through real conversation, so you leave each session more capable and more at ease using the language.
