I aim to create a friendly and encouraging environment where you feel comfortable expressing yourself. I offer structured yet flexible lessons—because we all learn differently. I’ll encourage you to try, to make mistakes and to keep improving. In this way, you’ll build confidence, express yourself more freely and develop real-world English communication skills.

I have experience teaching all levels. For example, I work with primary school children, pre-teens in middle school, high school students, adults preparing for exams or English certifications, and professionals looking to improve their language skills.

Let’s get started together!

About Me
I'm originally from England and moved to France thirteen years ago to give my daughter a more European perspective on life. I have a love of history, enjoy playing the piano, getting lost in a good book, and spending time with my daughter and our dog, Charlie.
Education
As a child, I travelled extensively in France, which later inspired me to study French at Université Lille III. I studied Maths and Computer Science through the Open University in the UK and also qualified as a bookkeeper. Over the years, I’ve lived in the Netherlands and the United Arab Emirates, and worked in London’s financial sector before supporting self-employed businesses with their accounting, hardware, software, and network needs.
Experience / Qualifications
My strong interest in language led me to qualify as an EFL teacher. For the past twelve years, I’ve been teaching English in a French primary school (CE2, CM1 and CM2) and have also been giving private English lessons to students of all ages and levels.

***** My availability varies according to the slots reserved by the pupils / students. To gain efficiency, I will send you a link to my "google agenda". You will be able to position our sessions more quickly *****

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!
