English
If there's one thing I can promise, it's that you won't be bored with me! I know that learning English, particularly the grammar (looking at you, irregular past participles) can be a challenge, but I'm here to try and make things seem much less scary. I'm currently working with children and teenagers, so I really do understand the importance of learning through fun, and making things as clear and simple as possible.
I'm a native English speaker ad qualified TEFL teacher, and I've been teaching in France for almost a year. I have experience teaching both adults and children - my youngest student is 3 years old, and my oldest was 76. Although I prefer an immersion style of teaching (always speaking in English), I realise that there occasionally difficulties with translating words here and there, so my knowledge of French can also be helpful. I'm currently studying for a BA in English and French, so I'd be happy to approach your studies from a literary, cultural or linguistic angle.
Instead of telling you what you'll learn, I'm here for you to tell me what you want. Of course, we'll do a diagnostic session, and I might give you some (friendly) advice about what I think you need, but ultimately, what I can offer are lessons that are entirely tailored to you. We can spend the hour on the past simple vs the present perfect. We can spend the hour analysing your favourite book using various literary theories (yes, even Harry Potter). We can spend the hour focusing entirely on conversation - your fluency, accuracy and intonation. I speak the Queen's English, so I like to think that I'm easy to understand, and hopefully you'll be speaking like a BBC presenter in no time!
I'll stop there, as this is getting dangerously long, so please do get in touch and I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have, or provide you with a sample lesson plan.
I look forward to hearing from you!

About Me
There are three things that I can guarantee if you're working with me:1) Flexibility. As I mentioned in the class description, the lessons will be 100% tailores to your wants and needs. Furthermore, as you can see, I'm happy to be extremely flexibile with the lesson times. You like to start work at 23h? Fine by me. You want to squeeze in a class before school/work? Also completely fine. I'm happy to pick children up from school before tutoring them too, if that makes your life easier.
2) Patience. I've been working with children for over 2 years now. I've seen incredible temper tantrums, I've had students who would barely be awake during lessons, and I've had a dictionary thrown at me. Obviously, I would prefer minimal book-related violence, but what I'm trying to say is that no matter how frustrated or confused you get, I will stay with you, and we will work through that problem together.
3) FUN. I really, really do love what I do, and I hope it shows. My teaching style is high-energy, and at times a little unconventional, but all I'm trying to do is help people relax and enjoy learning. We'll get the nasty grammar done too, I promise, but I refuse to spend an hour staring at a textbook with you. You can do that on your own.
I love to read, draw, listen to music, play music, watch sport, play sport, go to the theatre, visit museums and cook. I'm an animal-lover, a child-lover, and a world-lover. If we can't find SOMETHING in common to talk about, then I will give you a refund right there on the spot.

ENGLISH and GERMAN LESSONS FOR CHILDREN/ TEENS/ ADULTS BEGINNERS TO ADVANCEDHello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context.
For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot.
For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand).
Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

Private lessons in Mathematics and English / Homework helpHello,
I offer maths and English lessons at home.
I have a Baccalaureate diploma in mathematics with the European English Physics-Chemistry section.
I am very comfortable in mathematics and I have a Cambridge level C1 certification in English.
I am motivated and invested in my work and I give my all to be able to help the student in difficulty.
For me, the game is the best way for the youngest to understand and stay focused throughout the session.
In my courses I favor originality in order to see the subject or the problem from another point of view which will surely improve understanding.
Thanks very much
