Passionate about learning and teaching, I enjoy encouraging and supporting others to gain confidence and develop their skills. With a strong background in public speaking and debate, as well as active participation in numerous regional competitions, I bring unique expertise to training and personal development.

My passions include art, music, theatre, and the indigenous Māori culture of New Zealand, which I love sharing with my students. I value social harmony and know how to manage conflict appropriately. My goals are always to encourage people and be a strong support system to help them gain confidence in their expression, thinking, and decision-making. Seeing my students progress in English and gain more conviction in their decision-making skills brings me great joy. I always encourage students to be curious rather than critical, to keep an open mind, and to understand that knowledge is power!

My main qualities are: authoritative, respectful and understanding, rigorous and punctual, sensitive and pleasant. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and to positively encouraging students' confidence in their ability to express themselves in English.

I offer lessons at your home, in a cafe, library or a public place.

I love cats and cooking and can offer many classes with various different themes and games. I have asian origins and love culture, music and food. :) <3 I also studied Maori and Italian at University and also love European culture, hence moving to France.

Clémentine
I'm Clémentine, a journalism master's student in Lyon. A native French speaker, I have a deep love for my language. Learning and sharing it is one of my greatest passions.

Do you need to acquire the basics of French, English, Spanish, or Latin, whether for work, study, travel, or to educate yourself? I can, if necessary, adapt to all situations and provide courses:
- French (native language)
- English (level C1)
- Spanish (level B2)
- Latin (beginner and intermediate level)

Daughter of an associate professor of French at the university teaching FLE (French as a Foreign Language), I have solid knowledge in pedagogy as well as in grammar, conjugation, spelling and syntax in French.
> I got 19 in the written part and 18 in the oral part of my French baccalaureate in 2020, before obtaining my baccalaureate in 2021, with honors.
> I studied Spanish and English in high school in a Euro class, allowing me to strengthen my knowledge of the language through mathematics and physics in English.
> I also studied Latin for 5 years until my final year of high school, both the language and Greek and Roman mythology.
> I've been studying political science for three years in France at Sciences Po, an international school focused on foreign languages. I'm continuing to deepen my foreign language skills in graduate school.
> My many experiences with children, adolescents and also adults speaking a foreign language (English, Spanish, Arabic, etc.) have allowed me to acquire a method centered around the student and their needs.

Whether it's grammar lessons, practical exercises, or learning how to hold a conversation, you can count on my skills to help you progress in practicing modern languages and understanding our interconnected world.
