I'm an American living in France. I'd be happy to help you improve your English. We can spend our class time practicing informal conversation, or I can provide you with a structured class. The English classes will be formatted to your abilities; beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Each class will include the foundations of language acquisition; speaking, grammar, pronunciation/listening, and writing/reading. I will assess your learning progress in order to provide you with constructive feedback.

As a native English speaker studying French and currently teaching English at sixth form (lycée), I'm looking to help anyone who wishes to improve their level of English.

I specialise in tutoring English as a second language and provide exam prep tuition (Trinity, IELTS, TOEIC, Cambridge First Certificate). My goal is to challenge students without overwhelming them, and also to make sure they have a fun and enjoyable learning experience in all of my classes. I chart student development on a lesson by lesson basis and provide detailed feedback and suggestions for future learning and goals.

This class is for non-native English learners at all levels. I will carry out a diagnostic test upon meeting the student and plan out the future direction of learning with the student, tailoring the learning to the student's own preferences and goals. The classes focus on English grammar as well as spoken conversational English and exam preparation where required.

This course will address English grammar in general (Conjugation, irregular verbs ...), if the student needs help with his current course it can be provided (Vocabulary concerning a given topic, work around the required syntax depending on the exercise requested). Since I myself am a student, I have kept all my lessons since my first year of college, so I am able to bring an appropriate exercise to all possible levels.

English is useful in my opinion to have conversations and connect with a lot more people.

Through this course, depending on your level of English, I will help you to gain confidence in spoken English and help you with different conversations that you would have on a day to day basis.

An English or an Arabic class is an educational setting where students learn and develop their skills in both languages. In this class you will be guided through various aspects, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

The class usually begins with a warm-up activity or review of previous lessons to reinforce the knowledge and concepts already covered, and students are encouraged to actively participate by asking questions, engaging in discussions, and completing activities.

In addition to language skills, the class often incorporates the study of literature, if a student is intrested in reading and analyzing literary works from different time periods and genres, exploring themes, characters, symbolism, and cultural contexts, some books could be recomended.

Overall, an English or arabic class aims to develop students' proficiency in the both languages, enabling them to communicate effectively, think critically, and appreciate literature.

My teaching method is based on repetition with variety. I combine writing, reading, and speaking activities using the similar materials, so students can truly absorb the language while staying motivated and curious. We review, rephrase, and act out situations to strengthen habits.
Because I’m also learning French myself, I understand from experience the challenges of learning a new language — the fear of making mistakes, forgetting words, or feeling like you’re speaking too slowly. This experience shapes my teaching style which is spaced repetition.
You don’t need a huge vocabulary to communicate in English. What matters is being able to speak even when you feel nervous, and to be understood. Together, we’ll focus on clarity and intelligible pronunciation, rather than trying to sound like a native speaker. We’ll work on sentence structure, connectors, and rephrasing strategies to help you express your ideas confidently.
Each lesson blends focused reading, guided writing, and dynamic speaking practice around one theme (articles, dialogues, videos, or real-life situations).
It is important for the student to trust their teacher, even when they feel that no progress is being made.
