About Me
▶️My approach
😻My rule of thumb: no class without a (moving) image, be it a game, movie (short or feature, animated or not), photo, drawing, meme, caption, painting, music video, TV show, documentary, report, sketch, an illustration or interview
😻I'll use 100% worksheets created or adapted by me that I continuously update
😻I love cats (I know you do too !) and I'll often include images and videos of cats in my lessons
😻I'll expose you to real life situations and teach you the contemporary, not the literary language
😻I'll prioritize conversation over writing and reading
😻I'll focus on practice and examples, not on theoretical concepts and rules
😻I'll seek to have an answer to all your questions and provide you with comprehensive explanations whenever possible
😻I'll evaluate your progress periodically and tell you what to do to improve your skills
😻I'll give you visibility on what we're going to do next
😻I'll constantly ask you for suggestions regarding topics you're interested in
😻I'll teach you the way I (would have) liked to be taught
😻I'll show you how to learn, not only what to learn
😻I'll respect your pace and I won't pressure you
😻I'll make you feel comfortable and at ease and improve your level of self-trust
😻I'll create a relaxed, informal and playful atmosphere
😻I'll do my best to make our classes fun and engaging, interactive and enjoyable, dynamic and diverse
😻I'll aim to keep you curios and focused 99% of the time
😻I'll try to make it seem easy even when it's difficult
😻I'll make you fall in love with the language you're learning
😻I'll turn our class into one of the best parts of your week and a nice life experience

Experience / Qualifications
I'm a dedicated and creative French, Romanian and English language trainer, with over 16 years of experience in the field. I'm an adept of tailored, customized courses, meant to facilitate a targeted, personalized approach, based on each student’s needs.
I use a large variety of interactive materials such as games, animations, short films, photos, paintings, songs and sketches, even when it comes to business language.
Teaching students from a wide range of backgrounds, with different levels and learning styles and paces, has considerably helped me refine my training skills over the time. I strongly believe one can best learn new notions by playing, visualizing and making analogies, not by memorizing by heart. I also prioritize conversation over writing and reading-based tasks, as I consider speaking essential when learning a language, no matter the level.
My teaching method together with my inherent passion for languages have until now successfully resulted in engaged students who learned how to study in an efficient way. This led to their significant progress and more than once to a shift of perspective regarding the idea of learning a foreign language, which doesn't have to involve boring, dense and predictable textbooks and can actually be interesting and fun.
I love what I do, as my activity implies continuous self-improvement and it also gives me the opportunity to leave an imprint behind.
