    English grammar, vocabulary, usage, & pronunciation

    For 22 years I have been teaching English to both children and adults. I love teaching in general, so whether or not you are a child, or adult, you will receive the same level of professional teaching from me no matter what your age might be.

    Before coming to China I was a High school English teacher. I also taught creative writing. Most foreigners living and working in China as English teachers do "not" have prior experience in teaching. Yes many do have university degrees, but those degrees are often not in English, and most have no experience teaching before coming to China. How can someone teach a subject when they do not know how to teach?

    I have a Masters Degrees in both English, and Education. This means that teaching is my profession. I was a certified public school teacher in America for 10 years before coming to China, and being a School teacher in America is very different than being a school teacher in China.

    Teaching is my chosen profession, and I do it because it brings me great joy. Most of the foreigners in China working as English teachers are "not" real teachers. Yes many have University degrees, but few have degrees in English, and fewer still are certified public school teachers with any prior experience in teaching.

    Before I begin teaching a student I will test them in over 30 different areas of English use. Once I know everything I need to know about their English skills, from their Grammar to their Vocabulary I will then identify, and focus only on where they need help. In this way I teach only what the student needs to learn. This way the student learns far more quickly than they would in a standardized classroom with a set curriculum. My classes are made for the student, and as each student is different each class I teach is also different. My teaching is all about the students individual needs. I also create most of my own materials, as the majority of materials you can buy are made for large classes, where every student is taught exactly the same way. Creating your own materials takes more time, but it is the best way to teach. As you are paying for the best service possible I feel it is my duty, and responsibility to give that to you.

    "YOU WILL LOVE... French, the French and France....🇫🇷"
    "You will love French, the French and France" Hello! My name is André. I am a French teacher [from Lyon] with over 35 years of experience [since 1990] in teaching children, teenagers and adults. I have worked for over 30 years, in London, UK between July 1994 and September 2024 in different cultural centers (BBC London too), universities, private schools, singing studios, etc... I am currently living in Osaka, Japan since September 2024 where I teach French and English (Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Level). In addition to that, I am studying in a language school, the Japanese language (Level A2: Elementary). I also have experience in teaching online, almost every day for 25 years now, and I really consider it the best new way to learn languages, so useful and effective for both teachers and students. During my lessons, I will help you progress in French using methods that are perfectly adapted to your learning style and your current language level. We will work on your weaknesses and strengths to find the best method for progression. We will cover many different topics to optimize your French language learning. You will learn how to use vocabulary and grammar in real-life situations such as daily conversations, live readings of French texts, sentence and text writing exercises, and discussions on topics of your choice. I would be happy to teach even if you want to start from scratch. From the beginning, I focus especially on learning the right pronunciation. I know it can be difficult sometimes but you can be really comfortable: French pronunciation is less difficult than you can imagine. I've been a real movie enthusiast (not just French) since my childhood and I would be happy to introduce you to some movies from my country and talk about the ones you've already watched that way too! Feel free to immerse yourself in learning French while sharing together your impressions of the rich culture of this fabulous country: FRANCE... 🇫🇷 See you soon... Andrew
