I am a bilingual Franco-British student, having studied at the Lycée International St Germain en Laye. I am in my first year of Bachelor's degree at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University,
and I am in parallel a theatrical development training at the school EVA.
I have been teaching English for three years
any age with a preference for children.
Having initially provided only tutoring to middle and high school students, I have, through my theatrical studies, developed an interest in communication and for a more active transmission of the language. This prompted me to give English conversation classes, and to be more interested in teaching the youngest ones. Being fond of games and entertainment myself, I have a natural ability to invent entertaining ways to transmit my mother tongue. For example, I take a lot of pleasure in running several small workshops in my classes. For example, I often use the writing and staging of small scenes of everyday life, which allows not only a more grounded approach in the concrete to
vocabulary and syntax, but also makes pronunciation and intonation work.
Moreover, being also a musician and passionate about the study of different dialects and accents British or American, I also like to set up small games that aim to train the ear to the different sounds of English. This aspect of English is often neglected in school or college classes, which is most often at the expense of the student who may have trouble finding his bearings when he is bathed in a school. anglophone environment different from that to which he was accustomed.
For the little ones, I also use a lot of flash cards and fairy tales which allows a first contact with the language using stories and familiar pictures.

Jeanne
My name is Jeanne, 2nd year student at the London School of Economics (LES) in Geography and Economics. I am currently based in France due to the covid situation.

Bilingual but originally French, I lived in the UK for three years in my childhood, before joining an international school when back in France. I then pursued my studies in the UK. I obtained the highest honors in my French baccalaureate with international option (OIB, mention TB). I, therefore, speak English and French fluently and have always enjoyed taking and teaching the languages.

I have throughout the years used my fluency in both languages to teach children. I have joined the 'tutoring London' team this year, tutoring UK natives in advanced French. I particularly helped a family whose children wished to join the French primary school in London. They had the French basics but needed to be more fluent, I, therefore, helped them reach the respective levels of French required to join classes in each age group (CE2, CE1 and GS). When I was in France, I tutored children in English, teaching them the basics of the language. Despite not having an official teaching diploma, I passed my OIB Baccalaureate mention TB, and obtained the highest score at the TEOFL, which proves my fluency.

I am therefore used to both help out with homework, and deliver prepared language classes. I enjoy teaching and seeing my students better themselves throughout classes. I start my classes depending on the requirements of the child, to try and meet the day's expectations. I do not hesitate to spend a lot of time on particular topics if the child is finding it difficult. Always listening to the child, I acknowledge there are days where desire and attention might be lesser than usual. I often use PowerPoint to have coherent class support. Aligning a theoretical class followed by exercises, I try to be demanding but fun, so as not to lose the student. I often review the notions studied previously at the beginning of the next class, so as to see if the student has remembered what he has been taught. I have also given a lot of babysitting, and I think my young age, my energy and my experience with children make it easier for me to understand them and teach in a fun but rigorous manner.
