About Me
A native English speaker, having spent part of my childhood in Canada and the Unites States, I love English as well as English literature.
I would be happy to help you progress and feel more comfortable conversing in a language I love. I particularly enjoy giving private lessons as they allow the student to evolve at his or her own pace.
I am a patient teacher and can adapt to your level of skills.
I am a trained social worker and worked for a few years for different institutions in my field before deciding to open up a creative workshop in which I fixed lamps and furniture and created my own textiles, which brought me to weaving.
I now work from home as a weaver and teach weaving to migrant students in a center called ESPACE, a new integration project in the canton of Neuchâtel.
I am also a bookworm and write literary reviews for a Swiss children's literature website based in Lausanne, Ricochet.

Who am I?
Originally from Val-de-Travers, I finished my bachelor's degree in tourism in Sierre in Valais, my native language is French, but I studied in English since high school (at the age of 15).
I love languages, I love practicing them and I love passing them on because they are so important for your future (travel, careers, meetings, etc.).
When I was younger, I was already giving English tutoring to my best friend. I loved these moments of learning but especially of sharing which greatly helped my friend and first student.
As a teacher, I want to provide support and motivation. I want to make you want to practice and improve languages, to pass on my passion to you!
I have just returned from a fabulous year in London, it has only strengthened my love for the language and culture and improved my level!

If you choose my English classes, this is how it will go...

-First of all, due to my level (B2-C1), my courses are mainly aimed at beginners (secondary school students, high school students, all ages but beginners, etc.).

-The goal of my lessons is to adapt to the needs of each person (grammar review, vocabulary, discussion to practice oral skills, preparation for a test, etc.)
The first step is to get in touch and discuss YOUR needs!

- Classes will be held online mainly unless we live close enough! According to your needs transmitted earlier, I will prepare the documents/supports/exercises necessary to train you! They will be entirely in English in order to dedicate every second to learning!
