About Me

While I was born and raised in New York I have mastered the RATP, switched my morning bagel to a chausson aux pomme, and thus consider myself to be Parisian. I studied anthropology and history at Columbia University where I specialized in French economic political history and society. I am willing to walk French students who are interested in applying to university in the United States through the college process.

Hello, my name is Robert. To give my classes, I adapt to the people in front of me to facilitate their learning.
I try to define the student's goal, his work habits to adapt my courses and choose the most appropriate pedagogy in order to obtain the best possible progress. My goal is to allow you to learn but especially to understand and that in a good mood. Without pressure, no judgment, relaxed atmosphere and good atmosphere guaranteed.

Language Classes: I will focus on teaching grammar via textbook exercises and tailored ones, as well as helping putting grammar into practice through a conversation based class.

Cooking Classes: I will teach the basics of Italian Cuisine as well as any more specific recipes. I can spam from easy appetizers to complex desserts and main courses. For all the recipes, the most important ingredient is enthusiasm :)

I have 15 years of experience teaching IB, MYP, Key Stage 3, A-Level, IGCSE Language and Literature, and World Literature. I have taught in multiple countries worldwide. My expertise lies in exam preparation, but I also teach English as an Additional Language and work with younger students. Over the past six years, all my students have passed their exams, with 80% achieving a 6 or 7 in the IB Diploma. My teaching approach is relaxed and student-focused. I look forward to working with you!

With a Master's degree in English Literature and years of experience teaching English language and literature, I offer personalized courses and TOEIC preparation at all levels. It's never too late to learn! Start now with me and improve your English. From A1 to C1 level, with unique and personalized lesson plans, based on recognized works, or a fully personalized and assembled course program.

As a trilingual language teacher (native Spanish, C2 level French, bilingual English), I offer personalized Spanish lessons for children, teenagers and adults, adapted to all levels (beginner to intermediate).

My courses are structured according to the CEFR levels and aim for the balanced development of skills: listening and reading comprehension, speaking and writing, as well as grammatical accuracy and fluency.

Each session is tailored to the learner's specific needs: academic support, exam preparation, communication improvement, or professional development. I place particular emphasis on identifying errors, providing clear and structured feedback, and offering gradual support to build confidence and linguistic independence.

Thanks to my experience in teaching in France and online, I use a variety of resources (digital media, interactive activities, role-playing) to make learning dynamic, effective and motivating.

Hi! I'm Beto, a history researcher living in Paris from America. I graduated from Brown University with degrees in English and History in 2025 and recently completed a Fulbright teaching and research program in Vienna. This experience, along with my TEFL training, will allow me to help you better your English :) I love teaching and wholeheartedly believe in the power of language to open new doors!

I specialize in teaching upper-level English. I'll help you strive for conversational fluency and native-level reading and writing skills. I can help prepare you to study or work in English.

We'll practice speaking, essay writing, and complex reading, and I'll tailor my lessons to best help your specific career/academic situation!

Mes cours seront essentiellement de la discussion adaptée au niveau de l’élève. Nos leçons pourront se construire en fonction des thématiques abordées à l’école. Nous travaillerons sur ses éventuelles difficultés. Ce sera une aide aux devoirs approfondie : la conversation se fera principalement en anglais, la discussion sera fluide, dans le but de permettre à l’élève d’améliorer les bases de la grammaire et du vocabulaire. Je pourrai par la suite lui donner des exercices en complément de ceux donnés en cours, afin d’approfondir le sujet et guider l’élève au maximum.

My name is Mélody, and I am currently a Master 2 student in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Sorbonne University. I also hold a Master's degree in International Law from Aix-Marseille University.

English lessons – Conversation and practice
I offer personalized English lessons in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. I believe the best way to learn a language is through real-life practice, which is why I emphasize conversation and natural interaction.
We can discuss various topics together, read texts or books, work on pronunciation and vocabulary, improve listening and reading comprehension, or simply exchange ideas in English to gain confidence in speaking.
The lessons are tailored to each student's level, interests, and goals. I can also help with homework or school assignments.
The primary objective is to make learning English natural, enjoyable and effective, by practicing regularly in concrete situations.

During the sessions, I will guide you to improve your English in a simple, practical and effective way.

The goal is to give you the keys, tips and good reflexes to be more comfortable in different situations: at school, at work, while travelling, during a conversation or in everyday life.

We will be working specifically on:

Oral expression and communication
Useful vocabulary and expressions
The right reflexes to adopt depending on the situation
Understanding and constructing sentences
🇬🇧 Pronunciation and fluency
Practical tips for making progress more easily

Each session is tailored to the student's level and objectives. I favor an interactive and personalized method, in a positive working atmosphere, so that learning remains enjoyable, motivating, and pressure-free.

The goal is to give you the necessary tools to express yourself more easily, gain confidence and use English naturally in different environments.

English is still one of the most widely spoken European languages around the world which connects people, businesses, careers and academics.
In this hyperconnected earth, learning English still needs a human connect to properly help you understand dialects, phonemes, sounds and tones.
In my class, you get a slice of my 8 years of ESL teaching in France, Canada, Norway and India, to help you navigate the terrain of L2 acquisition.
My class would be designed around your learning pace along with quick assessments to keep you on track with your goals.

L'anglais demeure l'une des langues européennes les plus parlées au monde, un lien essentiel entre les personnes, les entreprises, les carrières et le monde universitaire.
Dans ce monde hyperconnecté, l'apprentissage de l'anglais nécessite toujours un contact humain pour bien comprendre les dialectes, les phonèmes, les sons et les intonations.
Dans mon cours, vous bénéficierez de mes huit années d'expérience dans l'enseignement de l'anglais langue étrangère en France, au Canada, en Norvège et en Inde, afin de vous guider dans l'acquisition d'une langue seconde.
Mon cours sera adapté à votre rythme d'apprentissage et comprendra des évaluations rapides pour vous permettre de progresser vers vos objectifs.

Do you want to learn English but don't know where to start? Or do you already have some basics, but struggle to speak and feel comfortable?

I offer English lessons for beginners, tailored to each student's level, pace, and goals. The idea is to learn progressively and practically, in a relaxed and pressure-free atmosphere.

We can work together on conversation, everyday vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening and reading comprehension, as well as useful English for traveling, working or simply communicating more easily.

Each course mixes structured explanations and practical application, in order to understand the basics but above all to know how to use them naturally.

Being bilingual in French and Arabic and fluent in English, I can also explain certain concepts in French or Arabic if necessary, which can be particularly helpful for complete beginners.

The lessons are fully personalized: we progress at your pace and according to what you want to improve. The main goal is to help you progress while giving you the confidence to use English in real life.

Hello! My name is Natalia, I'm 20 years old, and I speak fluent German, English, and Polish (I graduated from high school with top marks in German). I would be delighted to help you or your child learn these languages (grammar, pronunciation, spelling, etc.). I have been tutoring for years, and I am very enthusiastic, empathetic, and patient. I love spending time with children and am happy to adapt to each student's needs. I am currently studying law at Panthéon-Assas University. 🥰

Graduated from Sorbonne University and currently a doctoral student at EHESS, I have been teaching and supporting students for several years in the context of academic support and private lessons.

Throughout my experience, I have worked with students with varied profiles, from primary to high school, which allows me to adapt flexibly to the needs and pace of each individual.

I offer personalized support, tailored to each student's level, pace, and goals. My objective is to help students make lasting progress, better understand their lessons, and regain confidence in their schoolwork.

To provide effective support, I begin by precisely identifying the student's difficulties. I then adapt my methods to help them structure their learning, focus on their homework, and better prepare for tests and exams.

Thanks to rigorous and supportive monitoring, students gradually improve their academic results, autonomy and motivation in all general subjects.

Hello! My name is Luisa, I am 19 years old and I am currently in my second year of a Bachelor's degree in Management at ESCP Business School in Paris.
I offer German, Dutch and English lessons, tailored to the level, age and objectives of each student.
I am German and lived in Germany for 11 years before moving to the Netherlands. There, I attended a German international school, which allowed me to live in a multilingual environment on a daily basis and develop a very good command of German, Dutch, and English.
I can help students improve their vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, comprehension, and speaking skills. Lessons can also be tailored to academic needs, such as homework, exams, or presentation preparation.
I have experience in academic support dating back to my teenage years. I favor an interactive approach tailored to each student, ensuring that the lessons truly match their level and objectives.
I offer in-person classes in Paris as well as online classes.
