Actor of formation having lived abroad (London and Toronto), I love English and I would like everyone to know how to speak it! There is indeed a delay in France with respect to English, which is remembered is spoken worldwide and is the first language of communication! And this comes mainly from the lack of confidence in the oral. That is why with you I will work above all on the ease and the confidence but also on the pronunciation and the rhythm.

I have over 4 years of experience in teaching and tutoring English as a second language. I am currently a PhD researcher at King’s College London and run this tutoring business on the side, as I enjoy motivating students to learn new skills and overcome challenges.

I have studied English language and literature for all of my academic life and being multi-lingual (Fluent in Dutch and Sinhala), I understand how difficult it is to learn a language as a complete beginner. I am an empathetic and understanding teacher, but I also know how to push your limits and show you what you are capable of.

I will assign some, flexible homework for out of class, but most of the content will be addressed in the lesson. I am available to teach all levels of English or aid in English literature, but please message me for more information!

The Chomskian Linguistics model: what this course focuses on and how I can help you

The premise: A theory of universal grammar that aims to explain why syntax has the properties it does, and how the human child comes to the world with ‘genetic guidance’ in their native language competence.

This is a cognitive approach to grammar, not merely taxonomic (I am aware that most schools in the UK don’t teach grammar).

Some parts of the theory (which spans 70 years to date) are taught in different universities at different stages of its development. Students have approached me to know more (or clarify) the Minimalist program (1995 onwards) which has aimed to reduce the conceptual apparatus and simplify the theory. We shall look at VPISH (VP-internal subject hypothesis) and VP shells as well as doing away with intermediate projections which have relied on X-bar theory. The latter is still taught at some freshers’ classes. A good grasp of grammatical categories (noun, verb, adverb) will be necessary as well as grammatical functions (predicate, subject, inflection, adjunct). Some courses are still relying on binding and c-command, as well as other theoretical landmarks which are necessary for understanding the evolution of the theoretical model.

Exercises set and essay titles will rely on the student’s targeted requirements (as per their own university). For those who want to prepare for a forthcoming university course, or wish to explore this grammatical model, we shall follow UK authors who have shown a more sympathetic approach to learning.

Are you studying Italian but want to expand your vocabulary and conversation skills? Talking to a native Italian speaker is the best way to improve your language skills! I'm 24 and was born in Italy (Siena, Tuscany, to be more specific) and move to London three years ago. I'm a performer and dance teacher, but over the years I have also worked as a teaching assistant in primary schools, so I have experience working with children as well as adults.
I graduated high school in Italy with the highest marks 100/100, specialising in classical studies especially Italian language and literature.
I'm willing to help students or Italian learners of every level to improve their skills and level of confidence and even help in preparation for tests or examinations.

I'm a native French speaker from the South of France, currently studying for a Master's in Politics & Communication at the London School of Economics (LSE).

Before coming to the UK, I spent two years in Hypokhâgne/Khâgne, France's most demanding preparatory program in literature and humanities, and was shortlisted for the entrance exams of the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, one of France's most selective institutions. I then studied History and English at La Sorbonne in Paris, followed by a Master's in Political Science at the University of St Andrews.

Every lesson is built around your goal:

-Conversation & fluency: relaxed, engaging discussions to help you speak natural, everyday French with confidence (adults and children)
-Exam preparation: GCSE, A-level, IB, DELF/DALF, with structured lessons, practice exercises and mock oral exams
-Writing skills: grammar, written expression, essay methodology
-Homework help & school support: for pupils in British schools or French schools in London (Lycée Charles de Gaulle, etc.)

I currently teach students with very different profiles, from young children learning through conversation and games to a teacher preparing for the DELF alongside her full-time job. I adapt the pace, the materials and the method to each person.

Lessons online or in person in Chelsea, Kensington and the surrounding areas. Message me to tell me about your goals and we'll build a plan together!
