Course Description
As a qualified English teacher, I support middle school, high school, university students and adults in their progress, with a personalized and demanding, but always caring, method.
I have taught at the high school, vocational training, and university levels, and I have also been a French language lecturer at the University of Cambridge. This dual experience allows me to understand both the expectations of the curriculum and the practical difficulties faced by a French-speaking learner.
What I propose
Academic support: methodology, grammar, comprehension, written expression, preparation for assessments and exams.
Oral practice to gain fluency and confidence: conversation, pronunciation, useful vocabulary.
A preparation tailored to your objectives (academic, university or professional).
How are the classes conducted?
Each session starts from your level and your needs: together we set clear objectives, then I build varied and concrete activities, with authentic materials, so that learning remains enjoyable and progress can be seen.
Terms and conditions
Lessons take place online or at your home, at times to be agreed upon together. The first lesson allows us to get to know each other, assess your level, and see if my method suits you.

About Me
I am a certified teacher (agrégée) of English and a native French speaker, with several years of experience teaching in lycées, BTS programmes and at university level. I was also a French language assistant (lectrice) at the University of Cambridge (Clare College), where I taught my own language to English-speaking students.
Trained at the École normale supérieure and the Sorbonne, I have a particular love of literature and languages. I am fluent in English and also speak Russian and Spanish, which helps me understand the concrete difficulties learners face and address them precisely.
My lessons are tailored to you: I start from your level and your goals, whether that means improving your writing, becoming more confident in speaking, or preparing for an assessment. I like to explain the “why” behind the rules rather than have them memorised, in a demanding but supportive atmosphere.
Lessons take place online or at your place, and the first one is free.
