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.Education

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder 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.

Mandarin Through Stories, Culture, and Communication!Learning Mandarin can be joyful, imaginative, and deeply meaningful—for children, teenagers, and adults alike.
In my class, students will not only build a strong foundation in Mandarin Chinese, but also develop an appreciation for Chinese culture, literature, and ways of thinking. Whether we are practicing everyday conversation, exploring a traditional tale, or discussing a Chinese poem, I adapt each lesson to fit the learner’s age, level, and interests.
I bring a background in literary studies and a passion for communication to every session. For younger learners, I create playful, engaging lessons that build confidence and curiosity. For teens and adults, I offer thoughtful, structured guidance that opens the door to both fluency and cultural insight.
Every class is a chance to connect—not only with the language, but with the stories and people behind it.

Nathanael
Writer and novelist keen on helping you with your creative writing and literary endeavours.I have self-published three books, and I am currently working on another novel. I can tutor within the areas of literature, poetry and creative writing, and I'm keen to guide and assist anyone of any age or level. I use the word "assist" because I aim to establish a reciprocal dynamic in which we can bounce and play off one another. I know from experience the elevation of finding those hidden keys lodged somewhere in the mind, keys that open doors to knew areas of insight and growth in the often daunting act of writing. I'll cater the lesson to you and strive to push you to find them, to harness your sensibility and manifest it onto the page, and to bring light to your words.

Trécy
French classes, French literature, DELF/DALF/BACHIBAC preparation and competitive examinationsGood morning! My name is Trécy, I'm French, and I've been living in Madrid for 8 years. I've been a French teacher for 7 years and hold a degree in Spanish Philology from the Sorbonne (Paris) and a Master's in FLE (teaching French as a foreign language).
My method is communicative, meaning I primarily encourage oral communication in my classes, analyzing documents, videos, and audio, but always with the goal of reviewing and studying grammatical structures, conjugation, and, above all, the vocabulary necessary for you to be able to converse in French-speaking environments.
In addition, in class I practice with the students both the oral and written comprehension sections as well as the oral and written production, grammar points, conjugation, conversation... because don't forget that spoken and written French are like two different languages and it is necessary that you know how to speak and write them.
I also offer varied and engaging content to my students so they can learn while having fun with videos, audio clips, role-playing games, real-life situations, debates, and more.
The goal is for you to learn inductively. That is, you will analyze the grammatical structures and verb tenses that appear in the documents studied to derive the rules for these structures. We will study them together and explain them with the goal of later applying them through exercises, activities, dialogues, etc.
In short, you are the driving force and the driving force behind this class! But the most important thing is that you learn and practice while having fun.
In more technical terms, I prepare my students for the French DELF / DALF / EOI tests at levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 and also for the official French BACHIBAC tests for literature and competitive examinations.
You will see in class that I am a teacher committed to my students, serious, dynamic, smiling, motivated, and very attentive to the questions, needs, and doubts of my students.
If you have any questions, please feel free to write to me! :)
