About Me
Hello,

My name is Jeremy. I'm Dutch, though I speak both English and French fluently, and my German is pretty good too. I studied history in London at the LSE and political science at the College of Europe in Bruges. I've lived in Paris for over 40 years now. Over the years I've spent quite a lot of time in Japan. I am a photographer by profession - my work can be seen on Instagram - though in order to make ends meet I have been teaching English, French, Dutch and German for over 30 years on a freelance basis, something I actually enjoy a lot. I teach photography too. I like to make my classes as much fun as possible for I've found it's the most effective way to improve one's language skills. Having learnt quite a few languages - I speak a bit of Japanese and Italian too - myself, I understand where difficulties occur. I try to keep lessons on grammar to a minimum and encourage reading and watching films in the original language. For those who live in Paris, I'm happy to receive my students at my home where I live with my wife and 16 year old son. I'm equally comfortable teaching on line. By the way, I give courses in photography too, the old kind of photography that is, analogue.

Victoria
French:
My name is Victoria and I'm from Ontario, Canada. I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto, a Master of Arts from York University, and a TEFL certification.

I have varied teaching experience with students of all ages and levels. I work professionally as a middle school principal, adult language teacher, and private tutor. I am an experienced teacher of English as a Second Language and English Literature and have worked in Canada, China, and currently teach in Paris.

My method: I meet with the student and identify their English goals (business, conversation, test preparation, vocabulary isolation). I assess their learning style and create unique lesson plans that effectively promote language retention and overall student confidence. My goal is to keep students challenged but never overwhelmed. I assign homework (student's choice) after each lesson and provide periodic progress reports.

Marguerite
I am a private tutor in French, History and English and in French in a Parisian high school.
I offer private lessons for college and high school students.

My journey :

- Hypokhâgne and Khâgne at Lycée Janson de Sailly
- Khûbe at Lycée Molière

- Master 1 in French Literature at the Sorbonne (mention Bien)
- Master 2 in Theater and other arts at the Sorbonne-Nouvelle and the ENS (mention Bien)

- Trained at the Jacques Lecoq International School (bilingual English - French actor training in three years)

My method:

It is about understanding the psychology of the student, deconstructing negative mechanisms (anxiety about the subject, refusal to delve deeper, disinterest or discouragement, etc.) and restoring an enthusiastic relationship with the subject.
My classes are relaxed and humor and people have their place but they remain rigorous and demanding to allow the student to feel at ease and to flourish without ever compromising on the quality of the teaching .
Benevolence and high standards are the key words of my method.
Through the study of my subjects, I try to build a course adapted to the needs and the personality of the student with a long-term vision in order to give adolescents and young adults all the keys to pursue an education. ambitious and in line with their professional desires. Thus, they can understand their interest in the subject, the importance of a good general culture and a good expression, essential in any field. The study of one or more of my subjects then has a decisive and very beneficial impact on the whole of schooling.
