Hello, I’m Matt, I have 22 years’ experience teaching in a range of educational settings in the UK, including roles as Deputy Head Teacher in both mainstream and special schools. I am also an experienced Special Needs Coordinator. I have a background in creative learning approaches, as well as proven experience working with pupils with ASD, ADHD, dyslexia and SEMH, as well as speech and language difficulties. I would like to offer my services in helping your child reach their full potential. I love music (both listening and making!) and share a passion for animals and nature with my six year old son. I bring my passions into my teaching which I find kids respond really well to. Thank you all. Let me know if I can help.

About Me
Hi, I'm Matt, I have recently arrived in Annecy from the UK with my wife, my six year old son and our very old cat! I am passionate about teaching and I like to make my lessons as personal and creative as possible. I love to see children excited by their learning. I aim to use all of my 22 years' experience to build relationships quickly. I find the use of humour, patience and care the most effective means of doing this. I see it as critical that children be active participants and have some autonomy in their own learning. I understand that every child has their own starting point and their own way of engaging in any learning task. I find ways of breaking down tasks into small and manageable steps, using carefully chosen language, visuals and manipulatives. This allows learners to achieve success quickly, building their confidence, before I look to challenge them.

I look to bring the children's interests, as well as my own into my lessons. My passions include making music on my computer and listening to music. I'm always on the search for something new. I share a love of animals with my son and we are always finding a new way of feeding our passion, whether it be a new toy or a new book. I love watching football (my favourite teams are Arsenal and Southend United - my home town team). Part of my family are from the Highlands of Scotland and I love to spend time exploring the hills and beaches up there. I hope to fall in love with Annecy in the same way.

Thalia
As a native English speaker with a Bachelor of Education and a Cambridge CELTA, I have 10 years of experience teaching English in New Zealand, Australia and the U.K and a wealth of experience teaching English to foreigners in whole class, small group and one-to-one settings.

I have taught children as young as 5, through to teenagers, adults and seniors. In any case, I adjust my teaching and learning to ensure my approach suits your needs and preferences. I am able to strike a balance between challenging you to grow and supporting you through your mistakes.

I specialise in personalised English programmes, which means I work out exactly where you are, where you want to go and how you like to learn and then I tailor a program to suit your specific learning needs.

I am able to teach English speaking, listening, reading, writing, spelling, phonics, punctuation and grammar. I will tailor all of the lessons to suit your interests e.g If you like art, I will help you to learn English through the topic of art and if you like sport, I will help you to learn English through the topic of sport.

I will assist you to improve your pronunciation of spoken English and I can assist you with audio and video recordings of each sessions, so you can review the class at your own leisure.

I will help you to develop your understanding of spoken English in authentic ways by listening to film, television, radio and podcasts, as well as engaging in conversation between the two of us.

I will support you to develop your reading, writing and speaking skills through supported practise and lots of opportunities to build on your existing vocabulary.

I will aid your spelling, punctuation and grammar through shared and independent writing activities, which will be both interesting and relevant.

Following each session, I can provide at home learning tasks and progress calls, or emails between sessions if you would like, plus I have a range of online services that can assist you to develop your English at home at your own pace.

**As I conduct tailored lessons for each individual student, I only have a limited availability each week. As a result, I must prioritise my ongoing students who require one-to-one sessions weekly, or twice weekly. If you are interested in developing your English rapidly in an engaging and fun way learning from a committed teacher with a high success rate, please contact me to see if I have an available slot for you.**

Graduated with a Bachelor of English obtained at the Sorbonne and a Master Coach obtained at the International Coaching Institute of Geneva, I propose an innovative individualized pedagogy that combines the teaching of English and coaching techniques on Self-confidence. I believe that a student who has confidence in him and knows his value will be much more successful than a student with a loss of confidence.

I adapt to the skills and demands of my students. I seek to advance each one with methodology and efficiency. I am a working framework (oral expression, reading, conjugation, grammar, oral comprehension, vocabulary, ...) but if the student wishes to progress in a specific field (English literature, written comprehension ...) I modify my course to suit him.

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.
