About Me

I'm a PhD candidate in neuropsycholinguistics and consultant to private clients. My advisory clients include the House of Lords, the NHS, People Primetime International, the Manchester Metropolitan University, Falmouth University, the Emotional Intelligence Academy, the YMCA, the Y Club, the Castelfield Hotel, the National Citizenship Service, Equal Education, etc. My mentoring clients range pre-academic, academic, and professional contexts. My PhD research examines the composite language and communication phenomena of schizophrenia, as relative to figurative language processing, using experimental psycholinguistic methods; my master's dissertation focused on paralinguistics: blended displays (i.e. complex facial expressions) of emotion; and my bachelor's took the form of a stylistics combined honours (i.e. linguistics with creative writing). My vocational experience includes a substantive clinical education post within NHS psychiatric services—specifically, as an interpersonal communications tutor; in parallel, I've provided consultancy services since 2011.

Learn how to Practice Mindfulness Through Poetry and Prose
In today’s fast-paced world, finding peace can feel like a challenge. "Mindfulness Through Poetry and Prose" offers a unique approach to inner calm by combining the soothing power of language with practical mindfulness techniques. In this class, I combine the art of literature with mindfulness practices, creating a peaceful space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.

Each session includes guided mindfulness exercises, reflective writing prompts, and group discussions that foster personal growth and emotional well-being. This class is perfect for anyone looking to: Relieve stress and find inner calm. Develop self-awareness and emotional resilience. Engage with poetry and prose in a thoughtful, meaningful way.

No prior experience in poetry or mindfulness is required—just an open mind and a willingness to explore with a yogi and literature graduate.

Spanish Teacher / REAL IBDP Spanish Teacher / DELE
1- Customization: In either, an individual or group class, the lessons will be tailored to your needs, your time, and your interests. 2- Stress-free: I'm going to motivate you until you forget you are learning! Do you know that type of “dry content” -grammar, vocabulary, conjugations, etc.-? You are going to learn without noticing it if you are open to make mistakes and laugh! We are going to focus is on the satisfaction of feeling capable of acquiring a new and vibrant skill. And THEN is where the magic happens: confidence is the new protagonist of the journey. 3- Culture: Based on the fact that every language is a living entity, all my lessons’ content is linked to social and cultural factors. Spanish, a widespread language, offers such a great cultural variety, in so many areas, that those who immerse in this language can’t avoid embracing empathy. 4- Love: My own personal goal for all my students is to fall in love with Spanish. I want to spark in them the desire to continue developing the language as a skill for their lifetime, not only for a test. 5- Fun: Teaching Spanish is my passion. When you put your heart and your biggest effort there’s only ONE result: a happy ending.

French private lessons by university graduate in Letters
Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to: - consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling - improve their language skills (allophone students) - improve their speaking skills (conversation classes) -profect the written expression - prepare for ECR exams - prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion) - help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation - work on argumentative texts - acquire a method to analyze literary texts - learn how to perform bibliographic research The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing. For help with writing: The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson. For analyzes of oral literary texts: In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage. For the corrections of end of studies work: so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting. Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone. For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages. For adults (FLE): In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website). The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling. Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.
