Conversation / Help with homework / Get ready for exam / And much more!

Est-ce que tu parles français ?
The best way to improve a foreign language is to speak it! Why ? Because it is by practicing actively, by living the things that we create the best memories!
I know how difficult it can be to get started. That's ok, I'm here to support you! I help you to:
- feel comfortable speaking
- hold a conversation in French (friendly - professional)
- correctly construct your sentences
- work on your pronunciation
- strengthen your vocabulary
- avoid language errors
- focus on the points which need to be revised (grammar, conjugation, etc.)
- get ready for an exam
- discover French culture
- organize your vacation in France. Why not ;)
All with good mood, kindness and benevolence :D
How about practicing during a walk, having a coffee or lunch, a picnic, for example?

Need support while learning French?
I also help with homework (all levels) for both children and adults! There is no age to learn a new language :)

If you have any questions or have a specific idea of how you would like to work on your French, please let me know!

Do you want to start learning French but have never learnt it before? Or maybe you want to perfect your understanding of French grammar, or your capacity to express yourself clearly, spontaneously and with confidence in French? Or work on pronunciation, perhaps improve your accent and learn more about French culture?
I can help you with all of these, and not only because I was born and raised in France: after getting my Master's Degree in Lingustics and Anthropology from the School for Advanced Research in Paris - at the time I was also teaching private classes of French and English to high school and university students - I moved to the UK and studied theatre at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. There I worked on the skills any speaker needs to communicate clearly and convincingly: diction, voice projection, etc.
These two approaches - linguistics, and theatre work - give me a strong foundation from which to help any student learn French. So jump on: we'll build a learning program tailored to your needs and make sure that the lessons are both dense and fun.

Would you like to speak English more confidently, communicate more naturally at work, or feel more comfortable using English in professional situations?

I offer personalised English lessons focused on **practical, conversational and professional English**. My goal is to help you use English confidently in real-life situations rather than simply memorising grammar rules.

I have taken the IELTS examination twice and achieved an **overall band score of 7.5** in my most recent exam. More importantly, I have several years of experience using English every day in international professional environments.

At Wise, I progressed from **Customer Support Specialist to Business Customer Support Team Lead**, where I regularly used English for professional communication, mentoring and training colleagues, interviews, meetings, presentations, problem-solving and collaboration with international colleagues and external partners.

### My lessons can help you with:

• Conversational and everyday English
• Speaking confidence and fluency
• Grammar and vocabulary
• Pronunciation and natural expression
• Professional and business English
• Job interviews and workplace communication
• Professional emails and written communication
• Meetings, presentations and discussions
• Communicating with international colleagues and clients
• Improving your English for your career or studies

My lessons are **practical, supportive and personalised**. Instead of following the exact same programme with every student, we will focus on the areas you actually need to improve.

We can use conversations, real-life workplace situations, role-plays, targeted exercises and personalised feedback to help you become more confident and natural when using English.

During our first lesson, we will discuss your current level, difficulties and goals. From there, we can create a learning plan focused on the skills that are most useful for you.

Lessons are available online and in person in Tallinn.

I offer you a new learning experience.

Academic success, even at the university level, is determined by the ability to understand and write different types of texts. I offer courses that will allow you to overcome the difficulties you encounter in reading or writing by giving you the text-writing toolkit that school, unfortunately, doesn't provide. I myself had to build this toolkit over the years at university, and I will gladly share it with you so that you can succeed.

Here are the different points that my offer covers:

READING
Guided reading
Effective reading strategies
Text theory (structure, function, typology...)
General knowledge
Communication Theory

PRODUCTION
Reformulation
Summary
Reading log
Accurate
Text analysis
Characterization
Interpretation
Text explanation
Text commentary
Dissertation Essay
Comment
Argumentation

You can take a full course with regular sessions or one-off courses to do specific work such as writing a reading summary.

Lessons can be taken individually or in groups. The methods are flexible to adapt to each individual case.

What matters to me in particular:

motivate my student and give him a learning pace;
encourage their creativity;
to awaken his curiosity;
to forge a friendship with the texts

During this first lesson, you can get a solid idea of my teaching style. I look forward to meeting you.
