University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

I believe one of the best ways to improve your English is to actually use it. My lessons focus on conversation and helping you feel more confident when speaking English in real-life situations.

I work with ESL learners, school students, and adults, adapting lessons to each student's level and goals. We can talk about everyday life, hobbies, school, work, or any topics that interest you.

As we talk, I help you build your vocabulary, improve your grammar, pronunciation, and sentence structure naturally. Instead of spending the whole lesson memorizing rules, you'll have plenty of opportunities to speak, make mistakes, and learn from them in a comfortable environment.

Whether you want to become more confident speaking English, improve your school performance, or simply practice your conversational skills, we can work together at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Hoi! Ik ben een 17-jarige tweetalige student uit Spanje en spreek vloeiend Nederlands en Engels. Ik zit in mijn laatste jaar van mijn A-levels (VWO) en heb mijn IGCSE’s al afgerond op een britse school. Hierna wil ik graag een opleiding tot leraar volgen.

Ik geef online Engelse lessen aan kinderen op basisschoolniveau. Ik kan helpen met spreken, lezen, woordenschat, uitspraak, grammatica en Engels voor school. Ik kan de lessen in het Engels geven en waar nodig in het Nederlands uitleggen.

Mijn lessen zijn ontspannen en aangepast aan het niveau en de leeftijd van ieder kind. Ik wil Engels vooral leuk maken en kinderen helpen om meer zelfvertrouwen te krijgen. 😊

I offer online English lessons for primary-school children. I can help with speaking, reading, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and school English. Lessons can be taught in English, with explanations in Dutch when needed.

My lessons are relaxed and adapted to each child’s age and level. I want to make learning English enjoyable and help children become more confident. 😊

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.
To start, book a first diagnostic lesson.
🇫🇷 🇬🇧🇨🇭

Get ready for the English you actually need: job interviews, university applications and coursework, social situations, and school homework.

Bring your CV, essay, assignment, or a situation you're nervous about, and we'll work on it together. You'll practice speaking, fix your writing, and understand why each correction is made, so the same mistakes stop coming back.

Homework help covers essays, reading comprehension, and writing.

I'm a native English speaker from the US with a B.S. and M.S. from NYU and a background in professional writing and editing.
Available in person in Milan or online.
