About Me
I was born in England. I graduated in English Language and Literature from the University of Liverpool with an honours degree. I have worked as an English teacher and proofreader for twenty years. My clients have included: The Harvard Business Review, the United Nations, Google and CitiBank. Over these twenty years I have developed a very effective technique for improving a student's writing skills. You can now benefit from this technique. Study whenever you want – everything is done via e-mail.Education

Students will be expected to complete a reasonable amount of study as homework before participating in each class. The course covers the following legal areas:
corporate law
financial law
contract law
liability in law suits
patents and intellectual property
This is actually a number of courses. Each course is based upon original materials from the Cambridge examining bodies. The following exams are covered:
Preliminary English Test
First Certificate of English
Certificate of Advanced English
Certificate of Proficiency in English
Course Description:
The course is conducted entirely by e-mail, this ensures complete flexibility of the students’ time - no fixed day / time for lessons, so students can work whenever they want. Students improve their skills in written English by engaging in a highly focused step-by-step methodology which guarantees results. Four written exercises are assigned each month. The course can be structured for either business English / general English or a combination of the two.
Here’s how it works:
1. Each week the student receives instructions for a writing exercise.
2. The student sends their written exercise to the teacher for the first time.
3. The teacher highlights mistakes in the student’s writing using a special colour co-ordinated scheme to indicate mistakes in either grammar / spelling etc.
4. The student corrects their various mistakes and returns their writing to the teacher for a second time.
5. This time the teacher corrects any remaining mistakes using the ‘track changes’ function in MS Word so that the student can clearly see how their text has been corrected and make comparisons between their own writing and how this has been improved by the teacher.
Explore English literature from the 14th century to the 21st century. I have a library of graded readers covering all levels 1 - 6. There is everything from Geoffrey Chaucer to George Orwell via Shakespeare to explore.
Are you interested in horror? Then how about Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’ or the ghost stories of M. R. James? Is romance what you like in literature? Then why not study ‘Sense and Sensibility’ by Jane Austen, or if you prefer your romance a bit more dramatic, then I would recommend ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Brontë. If science fiction is more your taste, you will find H. G. Wells and Jules Verne in my collection. Is adventure what you are interested in? How about 'Jamaica Inn' by Daphne du Maurier. Politics? '1984' by George Orwell. Is comedy more your thing? In my library you will find ‘Three Men in a Boat’ by Jerome K. Jerome. Perhaps detective stories? I have the greatest of them all – Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. And of course, no library would be complete without the classic tales from Thomas Hardy and Charles Dickens.
When you learn English with some of the finest stories ever told, it helps to make everything you learn stay in your memory.

Hélène
FLE (FRENCH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE) and SCHOOL SUPPORT IN ENGLISH AND ITALIANMy name is Helen.
I lived abroad for over 25 years: in Great Britain where I taught FLE, then in Belgium where I worked with European institutions on projects, and finally in Italy for 20 years where I was called upon to teach FLE at the University of Turin and where, at the same time, I directed cultural projects linked to French-speaking literature at a local institution, il Circolo dei Lettori.
My FLE teaching is pragmatic, progressive and tailor-made.
Why ?
Because before teaching, I had to personally confront learning languages: English, then Spanish, Portuguese and finally Italian.
I thus understood what is useful and what is less so for entering another language, what gives the pleasure of seeing oneself progress, of beginning to speak, to understand, to write...
The FLE course, that is to say French as a Foreign Language, is certainly intended for those who wish to learn French in order to fit into a French-speaking context, but also for children/adolescents who do not have the grammatical bases to be good at school.
A language, any language, cannot be acquired just "at random", it has a structure called grammar through which one must progress in order to learn.
DON’T PANIC, GRAMMAR CAN BE APPROACHED WITH PLEASURE!
All my many students have liked the progression that I give to my lessons and the relevance of my pedagogical approach, serious and fun at the same time.

I am committed to transmitting my love of languages and seeing children progress and flourish. Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your child's needs and to book a first lesson. I will be delighted to make language learning a positive and enriching experience for them!"
