About Me

*English below*

En tant que passionnée des langues, je veux partager ce que j'aime avec les autres. Non seulement dans le domaine professionnel, mais les langues sont aujourd'hui essentielles dans un monde globalisé et connecté.

Je suis née en Espagne mais j'ai grandi et étudié en France et en Angleterre , en plus a j'ai voyagé à travers l'Europe, l'Afrique, l'Amérique du Sud et le Moyen-Orient. Les différentes langues que je parle m'ont permis d'avoir des meilleures et plus profondes expériences dans les endroits que j'ai visité.

J'ai de l'expérience en tant que prof particulier d'anglais, espagnol et français pour enfants ainsi que pour adultes. Le fait d'avoir moi-même appris des langues me permet de comprendre les difficultés des étudiants et de développer de meilleures méthodes d'enseignement adaptées à chaqu'un.e d'entre eux.

As a language enthusiast, I want to share what I love with the rest. Not only in the professional field, but languages are essential today in a globalized and connected world.

I was born in Spain but was raised and studied both in France and England, in addition to this I have traveled around Europe, Africa, South America, and the Middle East. Speaking local languages has allowed me to have better experiences and a deeper understanding of the places I have traveled to.

I have experience teaching English, Spanish, and French both to children as well as adults. As a language student myself, my experiences help me better understand the challenges that students face and to develop better teaching methods adapted to each student.

Education

Dual BA both at SciencesPo, Paris, and UCL, London:
International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies, SciencesPo, Paris.
European Social and Political Sciences, UCL, London.

Expériences en présentiel et en visio.

J'ai aussi enseigné à des enfants à partir de 2 ans, en groupe et individuellement, jusqu'à 16 ans. J'ai aussi aidé nombreux étudient.e.s. à la préparation de différents diplômes de langue.

Depuis six ans je donne des cours particuliers d'Anglais à des adultes et des enfants, en group et individuellement. J'ai vecu pendant la moitié de mon enfance en Anglaterre et je suis diplomée de l'University College London, où j'ai organisé des cours d'Anglais academique pour des étudiants étrangeres.

En ce qui concerne le français, j'ai enseigné le français en Espagne, principalement aux enfants mais aussi aux adolescents préparant leurs examens de langue, avec un taux de réussite de 100%; et en France, aux étrangers qui venaient d'arriver dans le pays.

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
