English classes for schoolchildren, students, French-speaking adults, French conversation classes for foreigners.
I specialize in teaching French and English. My aim is for my students to be as fluent as possible and to enjoy speaking a foreign language. I give homework assignment after each lesson. I encourage as much conversation as possible in both English and French. The main criterion for me is to enjoy expressing oneself in a language in order to overcome the fear of speaking. The aim is to enjoy speaking and feel more and more at ease as you progress. I try to teach as lively as possible.

About Me
I've been teaching for 40 years now. I taught English and French in secondary schools.And now, I teach English at a business school to students in BTS, Bachelor's and
Master's programmes. The sections I teach are : Communication, Management, Small and
medium-sized enterprises, Negotiation and digital customer relations.
I set up my private French and English lessons in 1985. That's forty years of experience in the field of tutoring. In addition to my traditional school teaching, I have taught French conversation to foreigners. My aim was to make them fluent. And I've had good results. Most of them speak French fluently now.
I've learnt from experience that, to learn a language, you have to learn to love it. You love it when you want to speak it fluently and practise it in its country of origin.You must also
love a certain way of being and living of the people who speak it. This is called culture or
civilisation.
I like students who are interested in English history and civilisation. There are, of course, no prerequisites, no preconditions. I also work a lot on grammar and vocabulary, necessary for clear and well-constructed expression, and I give regular exercises to do after each lesson.
However, I always have in mind the desire to guide my students towards everyday practice, which, later on, will enable them to feel at ease in the country where it is spoken.
A language is alive. It is the result of daily practice. It certainly requires methodical learning, essential to exam succes ; but we also need to go beyond this approach.
That's why, alongside the traditional academic work, I encourage exchange and conversation in the language being studied, with the aim of making my lessons as lively as possible.
Education
Après des études secondaires au Lycée Berthollet à Annecy, France, et l'obtention de mon baccalauréat, j'ai suivi une formation à Vevey, Suisse, dans une école de langues et travaillé avec un tuteur anglais, diplômé de l'université de Cambridge, pendant un an. Je me suis inscrit ensuite en licence de Français et d'anglais à la Faculté des Lettres d'Aix-en Provence. J'ai obtenu un Master en Français, Lettres Modernes, et un Master en anglais et civilisation anglaise.Experience / Qualifications
En matière d'enseignement, j'ai maintenant 40 ans d'expérience. J'ai enseigné le français et l'anglais en collège , en lycée, j'ai fondé mes propres cours particuliers en 1983, j'ai travaillé au sein d'organismes spécialisés en soutien scolaire comme Acadomia,En matière de formation, après mon Baccalauréat, j'ai pratiqué l'anglais dans un école anglaise, en Suisse, 'j'ai obtenu un Master de Français, Lettres Modernes. et un Master d'anglais et de civilisation anglaise. J'ai passé un an à Cambridge, en Angleterre où j'ai suivi des cours en étudiant libre sur Thomas Stern Eliot et sa conception du théâtre poétique. Retourné en France, j'ai commencé à enseigner.
I give English and English civilization lessons for French learners. Adults and schools. Academic support from sixth to final year. + commercial English BTS, Bachelor, Masters, all series.
I also give support lessons in French for schoolchildren from sixth to second year inclusive. And French and French conversation courses for foreign students and adults wishing to improve their skills in this language.
Above all, when it comes to my classes, particularly conversation classes in English and French, I seek to make them as lively as possible. I favor conversation, exchange in the chosen language. We study grammar and vocabulary, subsequently, on what we have said, practiced, read or commented on. I give exercises after each lesson. But these exercises are always linked to a context. I like to approach things in a lively way. It's the best way to learn and assimilate.
Certified English teacher (Master of English and French from the faculty of Aix-en Provence,) Trainer in a higher business school, (BTS, Bachelor, Masters students), I specialize in teaching French and English for forty years. This is done with middle and high school students as well as post-baccalaureate students. I teach general and business English. But I also really like, and am increasingly specializing in, teaching French and French conversation to foreign learners who want to acquire mastery of my mother tongue. In all my classes, I encourage conversation as much as possible, both in English and in French. For me, the criterion for success is the pleasure one initially experiences in practicing a language, gradually gaining confidence. This eliminates the natural fear we have of expressing ourselves in a foreign language. I like to start with a text and stimulate conversation. I give summary tasks at the end of each lesson to establish learning. Grammar, syntax, vocabulary. Words are always learned, accompanied by their use, sometimes idiomatic, in a sentence. The sentence is taken from the context studied. We never remember words caught in the air. I try to make my classes as lively and attractive as possible.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.
You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.
My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.
In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.
What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!
In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart.
I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Learn the schedules by heart.
2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results.
Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind.
I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics.
What will not be the subject of the course:
learn lists of verbs;
learn lists of nouns with their gender;
learn words with their translations;
memory card game;
doing school exercises;
follow the program in a notebook;
impose French grammar on the Latin language.
What matters to me in particular:
motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm;
encourage creativity;
make friends with language;
letters and their sounds
strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop;
teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart;
explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ;
place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice.
In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy.
I look forward to meeting you.
