English for Seniors: Regain your confidence with a bilingual (USA/Switzerland) native speaker based in Ireland! 🇮🇪🇺🇸🇨🇭

From 23.71 £ /h

Hello everyone,
My name is Phillip. I am an experienced, native bilingual (USA/Switzerland) English teacher. Today, I am pleased to guide you in your learning from my office located in the wild and inspiring setting of western Ireland.

With many years of experience as a private tutor, I work with students from all backgrounds. However, over time, I have developed an approach that is particularly appreciated by seniors and retirees. Why? Because I am convinced that learning a language at this stage of life should first and foremost be a shared pleasure, a window onto the world, and a wonderful way to keep the mind sharp and curious.
My approach: Trust and kindness above all

Many of us have somewhat rigid memories of school learning. With me, forget the stress of mistakes or tedious grammar. My primary goal is to restore your confidence. We progress at your pace, with a gentle, patient, and personalized teaching approach. Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to refresh your old school memories, I adapt completely to your needs.

What we can explore together:
- Travel English: So that your next trip abroad is synonymous with serenity (getting around, ordering in restaurants, communicating with locals without apprehension).

-Maintaining family ties: Ideal if you have bilingual grandchildren or grandchildren living abroad and you want to share more with them.

-Conversation & Culture: Discuss current events, literature, history or life in Ireland, while enjoying my clear and easy-to-understand native accent.

-Brain gymnastics: Using English as a fun and stimulating tool to maintain memory and cognitive plasticity.

Why choose me?
As a dual American and Swiss national living in Ireland, I bring a unique cultural richness to your life. I have a mastery of all the nuances of the English language, but I also have a perfect understanding of French culture and structure.

Practical and technological aspects:

We'll work together via Zoom or Google Meet, very simple and reliable tools. If you're worried about the technology, don't be: I'll guide you step by step during our first session so you feel completely comfortable on screen. It's much simpler than it seems!

Join me for a friendly and engaging experience, blending Swiss rigor, American optimism, and the legendary warmth of Ireland. Let's transform your English practice into a truly enriching human adventure.
Nice to meet you,

Phillip

About Me

Hi, I'm bilingual French/English of Swiss/French and USA origins. I live in the West of Ireland near the Atlantic Ocean. I hold a Degree in Early Childhood Education and I have worked for several years as a child instructor/educator with children aged 4 to 12 years old. I have been a tutor for children, teenagers, adults, and even seniors (4 to 85 y/o).
My teaching is always interactive in order to hold my students’ attention during the whole length of the classes, using numerous learning tools (photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, etc.) Naturally, I will focus on the priority of each student. Some students will want to improve their pronunciation, grammatical, and vocabulary skills, others will need to prepare a presentation or a speech at school/work, while others just want to learn a new language to enrich their general knowledge.

Learn French, English or Spanish in a natural and effective way

With over 17 years of experience in language teaching, I have developed an immersive and contextual method that allows you to learn a language like you learn your mother tongue: by understanding, using and living the language from the very first lesson.

My method is based on a simple principle: communication before memorization. Instead of accumulating vocabulary lists or isolated grammar rules, you learn the language through real-life situations, dialogues, stories, images, videos, and conversations tailored to your level.

What distinguishes my method:

* Gradual immersion from the very first lesson.
* Clear explanations tailored to your profile.
* Simultaneous development of comprehension and oral expression.
* Correction of pronunciation in real-world context.
* Natural acquisition of vocabulary and grammar.
* Customized support tailored to your objectives.
* Emphasis placed on confidence and fluency in speaking.

I teach teenagers, adults, professionals, and students who wish to:

* Improve their conversation.
* Prepare for an exam (DELF, TCF, TEF, IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, DELE, etc.).
* To travel or settle abroad.
* Use the language in a professional context.
* Develop a more natural pronunciation.

Each lesson is designed as a hands-on experience where you actively use the language rather than passively study it. My goal is to help you speak with confidence, spontaneity, and accuracy as quickly as possible.

Having scored 8.0 on IELTS and 730 in SAT English, I understand what it takes to perform well in high-pressure English exams.

Each lesson is tailored to the student’s current level, target score, and goals, whether they are preparing for university admission, studying abroad, immigration, or professional opportunities. I explain concepts clearly, break down difficult tasks step by step, and help students build both skill and confidence.
