About Me

As a language teacher (English and French) for ten years, I have taught in France and abroad, at both secondary and university levels.
I hold a PhD in American literature, and I have worked in the United Kingdom.
Having worked with diverse audiences, I can adapt to the needs and objectives of each student, and I enjoy offering dynamic courses based on concrete examples to make learning fun and effective!
However, I do not neglect the fundamental aspects of the language (grammar, vocabulary) and I always work on the four skills: written comprehension and expression, oral comprehension and expression.

Hello! I am a Russian native speaker, a holder of a degree in Linguistics and Translation and a very dedicated tutor. I offer Russian language courses which will help you to master Russian in a short period of time.
During my classes, you will have a relaxed atmosphere and a lot of listening, speaking, writing and reading activities. We will focus on essential vocabulary, common phrases and, of course, grammar. My lessons are well-structured and I always have a special approach to each student, explaining all the material in tiny details.

By the end of the intensive course you will be able to:

I am looking forward to teaching you!

I give language courses to children, adolescents, but also to adults, in order to fill their gaps or teach them a new language. Passing on my passion for languages and helping students to communicate properly flourishes me professionally.

With a Master LLCER in English, I have studied pedagogy, grammar, phonetics and literature in depth to transmit this language with clarity and enthusiasm.

For over five years, I have been supporting a family in private lessons, ensuring that I build a relationship of trust and help my students progress with patience and encouragement. Currently preparing for the CRPE, I am fully up to date with the expectations of the education system and the most effective methods to help students gain confidence and ease in English.
Each student is unique, and I am here to help them reveal their full potential. Whether it is for a solid foundation, academic support, or improvement, I adapt to each one with pedagogy and kindness. Trust me to accompany your child towards success! ✨

--> Teaching techniques and methods:

With over 20 years of experience teaching languages, I offer structured, supportive courses tailored to each student. My goal is to help students progress with confidence and consistency.

I use a communicative approach, which emphasizes oral and written language practice. Depending on the needs, we work on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, and listening and reading comprehension.

--> Typical course structure:

A lesson typically begins with a quick review, followed by activities tailored to the student's objectives (conversation, exercises, reading or listening comprehension). I also offer a variety of learning materials to make lessons dynamic and effective.

English in Secondary I/II is often the time when students must move from basic vocabulary to a true mastery of grammar and expression. It is also the time when some begin to fall behind, due to a lack of regular practice outside of school.
I offer private English lessons for Secondary I students, level A2 to B1. We work on grammar (verb tenses, structures, prepositions), thematic vocabulary, written expression (compositions, emails) and oral expression (conversation, pronunciation, listening comprehension).
I have a B2 level in English and I use it regularly. Lessons can be structured around the student's textbook, or take the form of freer conversation practice for students who need to gain fluency.
My approach is practical: fewer rules to memorize, more real-life situations. Language is learned by practicing it, and it's through making mistakes that we progress. I adapt to each student's level and pace.

I offer personalized English lessons for children and adults, tailored to each student's level, goals, and learning pace. I have five years of experience in private language teaching, helping students of all ages improve their comprehension, speaking and writing skills, grammar, vocabulary, and self-confidence.

For children, the lessons are fun and interactive, with activities adapted to their age to make learning motivating and effective.

For adults, courses are fully customized to their needs: conversation, English for travel, academic or university support, exam preparation, professional English or general improvement.

My goal is to create a caring and motivating environment where each student can progress at their own pace and gain fluency in using English on a daily basis.
