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.

I am convinced that one of the most effective ways to learn a language is to start speaking it; hence, we will definitely have an "English only" policy in our classes. Don’t worry though! I will make sure that you are comfortable and always heard. We’ll focus heavily on speaking so you can freely talk about your everyday life, communicate with strangers while traveling, and even spill the tea with me without overthinking your grammar.

There are no specific textbooks, but separate lessons on different topics that include grammar, vocabulary, rules, and also movies, songs, TV series, and games, so you can grasp the language in various ways.

Working on your mistakes, focusing specifically on the topics that matter to you, boosting your conversational skills, or preparing for exams are all considered and integrated into the lessons. I am looking forward to having you in my classes!

So, shall we start? :)

Greetings! My name is Anne, and I love working with people from different countries, backgrounds, and age groups.

I am a native English speaker (with a neutral North American accent) who has had the privilege of living in 5 different countries so far. I am proficient in American, Canadian, and British English—I can teach one style or a mix of all three! This includes differences in pronunciation, conversational English (sentence structure and common phrases), grammar, spelling, and academic/professional communication. I also help students understand cultural nuances, including the fine art of mastering direct versus indirect communication.

I have also dabbled in a bit of Aussie slang during my time in Australia—which may not always be practical, but is heaps fun to know if you are keen (that was very Aussie English there)!

My specialty is helping learners develop an English accent that is clear and easily understood worldwide (avoiding thick, muffled, or fast accents).

I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from one of the top business schools in Canada and have been working in the non-profit sector since graduating. Therefore, I am also able to help you improve your professional communication skills, including speaking, writing, interviewing, etiquette, body language, and understanding the nuances of different business settings.

Having had the privilege of working with people from approximately 45% of the world’s nationalities thus far, I am very familiar with differences in culture around the world, and how to navigate transitioning between them smoothly (aka code switching)!

My first business was a home tutoring service that I started in high school, teaching English and Math. I have lots of experience working with children, youth, and young adults from around the world, and am friendly, caring, patient, and encouraging in my teaching approach.

My lessons are tailored to your specific needs and goals, and my 'starter‐finisher' personality will help you reach them—at your own pace! They are practical (drawing on real-world experience), interactive, engaging, and, most importantly, fun! I will not give up on you (no matter where you are starting from) because I deeply enjoy helping people build confidence—not just in English, but in themselves.

I look forward to meeting you!

I offer online lessons in French, English, and history/geography, tailored to all levels (from primary to university). Thanks to my experience, I can quickly identify your needs and discuss them with you to create targeted and truly effective sessions.

A typical hour-long lesson is structured and dynamic: we begin with a brief discussion to identify your specific challenges, then we work together on essential concepts with clear and accessible explanations. You then practice according to your needs (exercises, writing, speaking in English), with immediate feedback to ensure effective progress. The session concludes with a simple review and personalized advice to help you continue moving forward.

All this in a serious, caring and motivating environment, to help you in the best way possible.
