For 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!

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.
- Regular monitoring: I plan regular assessments to adjust the learning method and adapt the pace of the lessons.

So what are you waiting for? Join me for an unforgettable adventure!

Preparing for a Cambridge English exam and want lessons that are personalised to your level, goals and individual needs?

Every student is different, so I’ll first identify your strengths, weaknesses and target grade, then tailor our lessons to focus on the areas that will make the biggest difference to your result.

### Learn Chinese with a Qualified Professional Teacher — From Zero to Advanced

Learning Chinese is often considered a great challenge — but that doesn’t mean it has to be painful or frustrating.

I am a **professional Chinese language teacher with a Master’s degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, a qualification in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, and more than 10 years of teaching experience**.

Unlike a teacher who simply speaks Chinese as a native language, I have professional training and formal qualifications in Chinese language education, as well as extensive experience teaching learners from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. I know not only Chinese itself, but also **how to teach it effectively**.

I offer Chinese lessons for **all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners**, including:

* Beginner and intermediate Chinese
* Advanced Chinese
* Conversational Chinese
* Business Chinese
* Chinese literature and culture
* Customized lessons based on your goals and interests

My teaching philosophy is simple: **knowing a lot of Chinese does not necessarily mean being able to use it.**

I don’t want my students to leave a lesson with a long list of vocabulary and grammar rules but still struggle to say what they actually want to say. Instead, I focus on helping you **use Chinese actively** — speaking, expressing your ideas, asking questions, responding naturally, and gradually turning what you learn into real communication skills.

At the same time, I believe that difficult things can be made simple. Chinese grammar can seem complicated at first, but with the right explanation and meaningful practice, it becomes much more manageable. I enjoy breaking down difficult grammar and language points into **clear, simple, and easy-to-understand explanations**.

My classes are relaxed, interactive, and adapted to each student's needs. Whether you are starting Chinese from scratch, preparing for work in a Chinese-speaking environment, studying for a specific goal, or simply want to become more confident speaking Chinese, I will help you build practical skills step by step.

**Let’s make Chinese a language you can actually use — not just a language you study.**

Do you really want to master past participle agreement? If so, discover how we will achieve this together.

Hello! My name is Juste. Passionate about words, writing and the transmission of languages, I live in Benin, a country where French is at the heart of daily life and business.

Target audience and prerequisites Designed for B2 level learners wishing to consolidate their knowledge and move to C1 level. An intermediate mastery of conjugation and grammatical analysis (identification of direct object, indirect object, subject) is required.

educational goals
-Apply without hesitation the classic agreement rules and their exceptions.
-Analyze the sentence structure to identify the exact function of the pronouns.
-Avoid common pitfalls in academic and professional writing.

Course program
-Fundamental rules and review: Agreement with être and avoir, management of the direct object placed before the verb.
-Pronominal verbs: Distinction between essentially pronominal verbs (systematic agreement) and occasionally pronominal verbs (analysis of the direct/indirect object).
-Past participle followed by an infinitive: Analysis of the subject of the action represented by the infinitive (e.g. the actors that I heard perform vs the play that I heard performed).

Special cases and invariability:
Impersonal verbs (the heat he experienced).
Past participles preceded by the pronoun "en" or by neuter pronouns.
Verbs of measurement, weight and price (literal vs figurative meaning).
Past participles used as prepositions (except, seen, understood).

Methodology The learning is based on an inductive approach: analysis of corpora of literary and journalistic texts, dissection of frequent errors, then practical application through rewriting exercises and targeted dictations.
