Do you love Italian people, history, and food and you would like to speak the language?
I am a CEDILS-certified Italian teacher born and raised in Florence, and I've also been a language student myself for a long time! If you want to be able to interact with Italians quickly, I can give you some tips about correct pronunciation, fundamental grammar, and vocabulary, but also Italian art and popular culture, which I think is fundamental to understanding the mentality and the country that you are going to interact with.
Lessons will be tailored according to the student's needs, level, and mother language and focused on the conversation.

I am also available to proofread your writings.

English, although it is an easier language than some others, can, at times, prove to be complicated.

Bilingual following my childhood spent in England, I offer support from elementary school to high school (and more), whatever your level (basic or not).

Whether it is for a school aid or to better understand English, speak it, review basics that have not been completely acquired, build sentences, write paragraphs, analyze words and use them, improve pronunciation, spelling, translating, or just conversing in English ..., I offer my help.

My services in learning English are quite broad: we will analyze what you are missing and I will adapt the course according to your needs, so that it is no longer a problem.

Coherence between form and content. The important thing in communication is not the confidence we have in ourselves, but the appearance of confidence we exude. It’s also not about being structured or coherent but simply about appearing to be so. And to do this, there are targeted tools.

➤ So, how do you listen and be listened to, convince/persuade and be impactful, challenge and leave an impression, enhance your content, address your audience relevantly and optimize the quality & clarity of the exchange/message? It is precisely a question of going through, applying and deploying practical and effective techniques of oral presentation, simple intervention or 'one to one' exchange, aiming to challenge one's audience or interlocutor, taking care of both the content and the form. , all in a professional or personal setting. Here again, there is a range of precise verbal and non-verbal communication techniques which, once modernized and brought up to date, will be put to the service of your reality. Allowing you to move from fear to pleasure in front of the public.

➤ Thus, mastered, the practical method allows, through a set of simulations and scenarios based on your daily experience supporting pragmatic & concrete techniques, to improve self-confidence, self-assurance, ease by overcoming discomfort and controlling his emotion in public.

➤ In addition, you will leave with concrete and immediately useful tools, developed in the form of practical lightning modules: learning to say no, getting a delicate message across, selling an idea, expressing disagreement with an authority, getting a "yes" without upsetting someone, resisting the pressure of a too-quick "yes", calming someone who has taken your words badly (...).

➤ In short, public speaking skills are now an essential cross-functional skill for asserting oneself, informing, negotiating, and persuading. However, to master the keys to successful public communication, it is necessary to enhance the impact of one's own speeches: by structuring one's interventions and taking into account the circumstances and the audience's expectations; by making a lasting impression through storytelling; by integrating the psychological and emotional factors of effective oral communication; by incorporating emotions into the preparation of the message and arguments; by anticipating objections and delicate situations; by preparing and structuring an engaging and convincing presentation outline; by experimenting with the rules of improvisation; and by appropriately managing difficult situations (...).

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practical exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live, to have an external perspective and areas for improvement) , so that you will be able to apply them immediately, and from the first session.

➤Progress following these sessions is noticeable from 2 sessions (*study 2026).

➤ Make your words a formidable asset. Ready to take things to the next level?

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.

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.

Je suis ouvert et heureux de pouvoir travailler avec quiconque de la primaire au lycée.
Je souhaite tout d'abord vous aider au niveau académique, que ce soit les devoirs, l’examen du brevet, le contrôle continu du baccalauréat ou d'autres examens additionnels. Grâce à notre travail, vous suivrez les cours d’anglais avec plus d’assurance et d’enthousiasme et assurément vous décrocherez de meilleures notes.

Au-delà des cours, je vous aiderai à développer votre expression orale en ayant des conversations sur une variété de thèmes qui vous intéressent et en vous permettant d’acquérir une gamme de vocabulaire sur chaque thème étudié, que ce soit les voyages, l’histoire, la géographie, les sports, la science, etc. Vous gagnerez en fluidité et en aisance à l'oral.

Enfin, j’accorderai de l’importance à l’expression écrite et à la formation de phrases, de paragraphes ou de textes concis, convaincants, sans fautes.

Qui suis-je?

Je m’appelle Anatole, j’ai 18 ans, je viens de m’installer à Paris après avoir vécu à l’étranger depuis mes douze ans, au Liban et en Lituanie. J'étais donc immergé dans la langue anglaise toute mon adolescence, que ce soit à travers mes groupes d’amis, les films que je regardais ou la quantité de livres que j’ai pu m’approprier. En terminale, j’ai effectué l’examen Cambridge et j'ai pu décrocher un niveau C1 frôlant le C2, en d’autres termes je peux interagir en anglais à un niveau très académique et mon éventail de vocabulaire avoisine celui d’un natif. Par la suite, j'ai effectué une année de césure durant laquelle j’ai notamment accompagné des jeunes avec leurs devoirs d’anglais et ai pu les voir progresser à travers l’année. Je me réjouis d’avance de pouvoir aider des élèves quel que soit leur niveau sur Paris, mes compétences d’accompagnement s’adaptant aussi bien aux débutants qu’aux plus avancés. À très vite :)

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.
