Would you like to have a conversation in French or Japanese?

I am from Paris, I speak four languages including English and Japanese. I like to share my passion for my mother tongue as I did during 3 years in prestigious universities.

Since I graduated with a master's degree in Japanese language and civilization, I have been teaching Japanese to beginners and intermediates online, as I did as a tutor at the University of Paris 7.

At university Paris 2, I taught french and explained the specific words applied in french law to foreign students. At university Paris 7, I supervised the dissertations redaction of foreign scholarship holders.

As an engineering student, I can offer you tutoring or further study depending on your needs, for math. We can look at misunderstood course concepts, do exercises to apply the course, or go further to prepare for competitions or excel.
I am currently a graduate student at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and specialized in math.

I have already given around 600 hours of private tuition in the past (over the course of 6 years) and have helped 17 different students, aged between 13 and 22 (from Middle School to University level). They were all very satisfied, which is why I'd like to continue my tutoring adventure during my study year in Japan. I completed a preparatory class at the Lycée du Parc in Lyon, France (PCSI-PC*) and entered École des Ponts, so I can assure you that my knowledge is very solid. I try to make my lessons as lively as possible, and to instill in you as much curiosity as possible about the subject you need to learn.
I know how to adapt to each student so as to teach with the optimum method each time.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your requirements.

I know what it feels like to face language barriers, and I’m here to help you break through them!

I graduated from the London School of Economics (LSE), where I studied law and economics, and through my academic journey, I developed a deep appreciation for the power of effective communication. Over the years, I’ve taught English to students of all levels, and I always make sure my lessons are engaging, personalized, and focused on your unique needs.

✨ What you’ll learn in my lessons:
✔️ Fun and easy grammar and vocabulary to help you communicate confidently.
✔️ Speaking practice to boost your confidence and hold real conversations.

Howdy! That's a Texan greeting. I really enjoy socializing with students and helping them become more effective and confident communicators in English. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I believe in teaching mostly through discussing, reading, and writing about the things my students are interested in. I provide explanations and corrections first in English, and I only use Japanese translation or grammar explanations when necessary. My lesson fees listed here could change depending on location, time of day, type of lesson, your goals, homework, etc.
