My teaching
All levels - Online

I was born and raised in Paris, and I've been living in the UK since 2003. I first started speaking English at the age of nine and I'm now trilingual French / English / Italian.

I have 20+ years of teaching experience at university, in language schools and giving private tuition. I'm passionate about languages and the language learning process.

I teach French and English to adult learners (from 17 years old) online and prepare them for:

socialising with native speakers, family, and friends,
relocation,
work presentations and correspondence,
business meetings and events,
exams (A-Levels, the International Baccalaureate, FCE, TOEFL, DELF, DALF, among others).

My method

I have created a method based on my own experience as a learner, which is a radical departure from what we've all experienced at school because:

I explain what it means to learn a language and what the process is like,
I make sure you immediately put in practice what you've just learned to suit your own needs,
I show you how to speak without translating from your mother tongue,
I teach you how to layer your sentences with different language points, as opposed to learning each one in isolation,
I help you move away from the comfort of reading and writing, by offering you a safe learning space where mistakes are learning opportunities and actual communication (as opposed to 'perfect' sentences) is what matters the most.

My approach

My teaching is collaborative and built around your needs so you can:

take charge, actively learn, and feel confident when using a new language,
use your interests and hobbies to learn it. This way, half the comprehension work is done already and you're enjoying the process,
let go of the fear of making mistakes and embarrassing yourself.

Our first lesson is free and your opportunity to get to know to me, ask any questions you might have and for me to give you an in-depth presentation of my teaching. So don't hesitate to get in touch. I look forward to meeting you!
