Little Voices, Big Feelings: Play-Based English & Communication Intervention (Ages 3-15)

From 41.09 £ /h

Hello! I am a native English speaker from Singapore with over 13 years of specialized experience as an Early Intervention Professional (EIP), dedicated to helping young children (ages 3–7) thrive.

My extensive professional and academic background ensures your child receives the highest standard of care and evidence-based support:

BA (Hons) in Childhood Studies: Deep understanding of child development, play, and learning environments.

BA (Hons) in Guidance and Counselling: Expertise in therapeutic communication, social-emotional development, and working with families.

Specialized Diploma in Special Needs: Formal training in identifying, understanding, and supporting children with diverse learning needs.

13+ Years as an EIP in Singapore: Practical, proven experience translating intervention theory into successful, real-world outcomes.

What We Offer: More Than Just English 🗣️

This is a unique, personalized service that goes beyond standard English tuition. We combine Early Intervention (EI) principles with Play-Based English Language Acquisition to address core communication and behavioral challenges simultaneously.

We focus on helping your child:

Develop Fluent, Functional English: Build vocabulary, practice clear articulation, and gain confidence in expressing complex ideas and needs in English.

Master Emotional Communication: Learn to use words instead of actions (e.g., saying "I'm angry" instead of hitting, or "Help, please" instead of crying).

Enhance Social Skills: Improve turn-taking, sharing, emotional regulation, and appropriate interaction with peers and adults.

Our Approach: Play-Based & Evidence-Driven 🧠

Sessions are child-led and fun, leveraging play as the most effective tool for early learning. We employ evidence-based techniques proven in the field of Early Intervention:

Positive Behavior Support (PBS): Proactive strategies to teach and reinforce positive communication habits.

Functional Communication Training (FCT): Identifying the reason for a challenging behavior and teaching a specific, effective English phrase to replace it.

Natural Environment Teaching (NET): Embedding language and behavior goals seamlessly into play activities, making learning meaningful and lasting.

Partnership with Parents 🤝

Your role is essential. A key component of my service is Parent Guidance and Coaching. You will receive clear, practical strategies and resources after every session to confidently support your child's progress and carry over new communication skills into your home routine.

Specialized in teaching non-native languages, I teach FLE, English and Portuguese in a practical and easy way. In France as in Brazil, I have studied to teach these languages which gives me the advantage of being able to adapt to several types of learners and various contexts (private and / or group lessons, from Grandes Ecoles, universities, companies and training centers).

- As part of a Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language, I offer courses in this language at symbolic prices.

Classes will take place at home and all material is provided.

Hello, I offer you my expertise and experience to (re) upgrade you in English.

I can intervene at the following levels:

- School:

* (primary school: initiation) => Cambridge tests 'Starters - Movers - Flyers' & others.
* (college-high school) => remediation / upgrading in grammar + other language activities such as Oral / Writing Comprehension or Continuous Speaking / Interaction)

- Superior

(CPGE, IEP prep, TOEFL, iELTS, Cambridge First Certificate, Advanced Certificate ...)
(Preparation for tests such as "Tremplin-Passerelle-Passerelle2- Ecricome" ...)
(English for Interns in medicine ...)
(Linguistics / phonology / didactics for the English CAPES ... or other competition like the CRPE)

- I accompany and have accompanied many adults who needed to be / become truly successful in speaking / writing in English as part of their professional activities (fluency, accent reduction, grammar. ...) or as part of resuming studies.

Note that I am not this young student who had a good mark in the Baccalaureate or this other who is supposedly bilingual. I am a linguist by training and author of a textbook in this capacity. I have been teaching as a teacher in the National Education since 1995. Teaching cannot be improvised. It is not an activity that we do "like that". I offer you the fruit of my expertise and my experience as well as the perspective of an educational professional who knows the system perfectly from the "inside".

By the way, did you know that to have 10/20 in the Baccalaureate, it is enough to have level A2 (which is theoretically expected at the end of 3rd year) so I let you imagine the despair of students who are starting higher studies and who learn that they will have to obtain at least 750 in the TOEIC! (the equivalent of level B2!) to see their diploma approved.

2 tips for students:

"your TOEIC / IELTS score, it is from L1 that you must prepare it"

"if you want to be able to write - English read, understood and spoken in your CV - well it is also from L1 that you must train yourself to speak English, to read in English and of course to write.

* Daily monitoring possible via the internet: to learn modern foreign languages, it is always more profitable to work a little each day. It is possible to consider placing slots of 15 or 20 minutes of intensive work on one type of activity several times a week. (See the "memorization" video in the 'Surfonsdoc Orléans-Tours' channel on youtube)

-> Look for "debbinghaus curve" on google.

* Each course is prepared according to your personal needs. Feedback is always given at the end of the session.

* One of the fields in which I specialize is "phonology": intonation, word stress, connections ... In short, everything that relates to oral grammar. If you are tired of being immediately spotted as the man in the video "the i rabbit (you will find it in a few clicks on youtube))

See you soon!

Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details.

Are you looking for a qualified English teacher from England? You have the possibility to improve your English while being supervised by your teacher. You can work on your grammar, writing, speaking and pronunciation. Are you desperate to pass your exams, prepare yourself for an interview or correct an essay? Or do you want to go to an English school or follow an English programme? The teacher is open to your requests.
Maybe you want to share your English lesson with some of your friends? It is possible to form a group at a reduced price, tell me with whom you would like to form a group. ;-) If not, the lessons are also individualised (private).

All levels are welcome (beginners to university students)! The teacher will be happy to receive you. Lessons can also be delivered online, students even learn better when lessons are given via Skype (the teacher takes notes for you online), technology is so cool! :-)

Do you have a question? Don't worry, the teacher will be happy to answer you. Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

This course is intended for people, employees as well as students, who want to improve their English through oral practice. Beginner to advanced levels are accepted. Oral practice of a language is an effective way to become familiar with the different levels of vocabulary and accents, which can be a barrier to direct understanding. My course also aims to consolidate the achievements of higher levels which can often lack opportunities to practice. My main objective is speaking, but my course can also be adapted to requests for writing.

Like all foreign languages, the English language has its own particularities and phonological properties. This is why I offer a course focused on all linguistic dimensions: conjugation, grammar for example but also pronunciation and vocabulary. I also emphasize the importance of identifying my students' shortcomings to better support them in their learning.

Hi, there! Are you looking for an English class with a little extra pizzazz? Look no further! I'm here to bring you enthusiasm, creativity, and a dash of humour to every lesson.

I have a knack for making the complex simple and the dull delightful, so your language journey will be nothing short of an adventure! And when I'm not busy weaving words, you can find me chasing sunsets or experimenting in the kitchen.

My teaching philosophy? Think outside the textbook! I believe in harnessing the power of art in all its forms – painting, music, cinema – to enrich English learning. Why limit ourselves to just words when we can explore the language through a symphony of creativity?

So, let's book a lesson together and discuss your goals and how we can reach them. I can't wait to get started!

I am passionate about teaching English and hold a Cambridge C2 Proficiency Certificate, the highest level of English language certification. I tailor each lesson to the needs, pace, and interests of my students, regardless of their age or level.

No two courses are alike! That said, five key skills consistently recur in a successful session: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, writing, speaking, and vocabulary. Behind these big words lies not only the key to success, but also a wealth of richness and diversity.

Diversity of subjects, first of all, according to your interests (sport, current events, history, arts, etc.), but also diversity of methods: inverted class, before/after explanations, sensory approaches (synesthesia), mnemonic devices... everything is possible, depending on what suits you best!

From the first session, a short interview will allow me to better understand your profile and identify the most effective teaching methods for you.

Here are two examples from my experience:

A., an 8-year-old, lively and boisterous: To capture his attention, sessions should include varied, short activities directly related to his interests. Repetition can be beneficial, but more often from one session to the next than within the same class, to avoid boredom or frustration.

B., a 67-year-old adult, calm and passionate about reading: here, we can offer longer activities, focused on reading and vocabulary enrichment, which will then serve as a springboard for oral or written expression.

These two portraits clearly show that it is not up to the student to adapt to a method, but rather for the method to adapt to the student. It is with this in mind that I design each of my courses.
Do not hesitate to contact me !

My focus is on a personalized and active approach to learning. I prefer individual-driven approach to enable the aspirants to utilize their full potential and optimize their exam preparation. Every learner has a unique learning pace and perspective towards understanding concepts. Thus lesson planning, teaching, and providing education to students individually leads to achieving their goal.

With Ph.D. degree in Engineering, my aim is to adopt right methodology to strengthen learning for the student to gain confidence. Depending upon time constraints and individual needs, the class can be online via webcam too.
