About Me

Students usually bond with me and continue being my friend even after they learn English. I love to have fun during my lesson, so I usually variate my lessons with different activities. I like project-based and student-centered learning. I often enjoy having coffee with my students and/or discussing events in the news or about life in general. I assign homework and I expect students to complete it. I also assign reading lists of books that students will have to read in their free time. After reading each book, I expect each student to discuss it with me. I support my students so that they spend at least 20 hours per week with the English language.

English as a Second Language teacher, Test taking strategies, Writing, Conversational
I am an English as a Second Language teacher from America and I would love to be a part of your English learning experience. I have taught for 17 years and, as a learner of French myself, I understand how difficult it can be to learn a new language. I have taught in China before and found the experience amazing, so I look forward to being chosen by you to learn or improve your English to a higher level. If you are a student, I can also help you improve your ability to understand the language of testing, how to answer test questions properly and extensively, and I can help you develop your writing skills for all of the essays and written responses you may need to do in these tests. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.

Maxime
Private lessons in math-physics-chemistry, english
I am a second year student of engineering school (INSA). Someone serious and who has very easy contact. I propose to help anyone who needs it mainly in science (physics, SVT), maths and English for a high school level in high school but also help with homework for all levels since primary. My methods are relatively simple: repeat the exercises and the course seen by the student, understand the difficulty of the student by talking with him and try as much as possible to explain this course with other words. The goal for me is to get them to understand how to approach an exercise based on what we know without being afraid. Everyone has their own method to learn and remember (visual memory, auditory, repetitive, etc ...) the whole thing is to find it and I will be there for that to later develop their autonomy. We all went through a difficult phase where we had to find ourselves even to succeed as we can!

Eric
Economics, English, and Business Tutoring. Assist with mastering concepts: Understanding Tools and Mechanisms
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping students tackle subjects that can feel intimidating at first but are incredibly rewarding once you start to understand them. Whether it's Economics, English, or Business, I’ve seen firsthand how small breakthroughs can lead to big moments of confidence. In Economics, I love taking complex concepts like supply and demand, market structures, and economic policies and breaking them down into something that makes sense. I've had many students who started feeling lost, but once we worked through a few examples together, they realized that economics isn’t as difficult as it seems—it’s all about understanding the patterns and relationships. When it comes to English, I’ve helped countless students refine their writing and communication. Whether it’s crafting a compelling essay, improving grammar, or just feeling more comfortable reading difficult texts, I've been there with my students through every step. The best part? Seeing the growth from struggling with basic concepts to confidently expressing themselves in writing and conversation. And in Business, I’ve worked with students ranging from those who dream of running their own companies to those looking to ace their business courses. Together, we dive into the foundations of marketing, management, and finance, and I love seeing those "aha" moments when the dots connect. It’s such an exciting field because it’s all about real-world applications, and I make sure to tie lessons back to the skills students need for future success. What I’ve learned from tutoring in these subjects is that each student has a unique learning style, and my goal is always to tailor the experience to what works best for them. Whether you need extra help preparing for an exam, want to polish your writing, or are looking to understand how business really works in the world, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
