My tutoring approach is student-centered, supportive, and highly adaptable. Since each learner is unique, I design my lessons according to each individual's goals, interests, and learning style.

I strive to make lessons dynamic and interactive, using discussions, creative exercises, concrete examples, and structured guidance to help students fully grasp the concepts being studied. Where relevant, I also incorporate techniques from theatre and performance to help students develop their oral fluency and communication skills.

With younger students, I focus on building a solid foundation in reading, comprehension, and critical thinking, while ensuring that lessons remain engaging and enjoyable. For older students and adults, I support the development of academic writing, spoken English, exam preparation, and professional communication skills.

Above all, my goal is to help students gain confidence, progress in a clear and positive way, and enjoy the learning process.

Very friendly and welcoming, she gave me the confidence to speak English through a lot of exercises. "

Hello !
I have always been passionate about languages, about discovering the world and its different cultures.
I lived in London for a year and traveled for 6 months in Latin America where I was completely immersed. I took classes and lived with locals during all my experiences. As a result, I was able to acquire a very good level quickly.

I decided to share my knowledge with you to help you increase your academic average, prepare for an exam and be able to communicate with a huge number of people around the world.

My program will adapt according to the student:

- I offer a first interview where we can assess together the level and the objectives sought and then prepare a program adapted to your needs.
- Need for written skills to work on: grammar exercises, conjugation, written production on concrete subjects
- Need for oral skills: oral comprehension exercises via music, conferences that interest you and conversations about various subjects between you and me

My classes will be a guaranteed pleasure. My goal is to pass on to you my love for languages, to make learning the language fun and enjoyable while actively progressing.
