This class is all about improving your communication skills with your employer, associates, venders, buyers, or any other business dealings in an anglo-phone setting. You will learn the best and most polite way to convey your needs or ideas. Standard business language and idioms are part of the course. Role-playing, listening skills, and lots of verbal practice are done as well.

Have you dreamt of reading Shakespeare and making sense of his words ? Did you know that some Shakespearian plays are easier to tackle than others ? In this class we will be looking at one of Shakespeare's fantasy comedies or one of his tragedies. We will read the play together and discuss the usage of words, as well as its historical contexts. We will study the most important passages in the way they have influenced world culture. I encourage my students to memorise these passages by heart, a gratifying experience.

For the last few years, I've been working for a prestigious language agency in France. I have a lot of experience working with kids and teenagers. Each tutorial is geared around the needs of the individual child. Some children are visual learners, others are more tactile, while others still have difficulty focusing. For beginner students, we work with visuals and then we do a lot of role playing, identifying the visuals we revised earlier. One of the games we play that kids love is The Grocer, where they sell or buy the items on display. We also play The Pub ( restaurant) and we use real menus and paper money. There's lots of signing and dancing, of course.... For the older kids, we work on things such as poetry, audio-skills by watching and discussing video clips, and lots more. I have one ESL student who is interested in literature and we tackled some of the easier classics like Hemingway. I also assign projects such as creating an English YouTube channel, a comic book series, cooking presentations, to name some of the best projects I've had over the years. I have experience teaching through the net. In the past we've used Skype, since it's free (unlike zoom ). I've taught students as young as 9 through Skype.

During the course of conversation, we are surrounded by events that touch France and the world around us. Nous parlerons également de la vie quotidienne. You are a Franco-Anglo-Curaçaolienne (oui, je sais, compliqué) here and there are three countries: Curaçao, Angleterre and France. (Quoi que pour certains gens le Curacao n'est pas un pays. ) J'ai vécu la plupart du temps en France, où j'ai étudié les plantes médicinales à l'EDP et la médecine chinoise. You are at the end of the year with the studies of medicine chinese in October 2024.
