    Amandine
    Professor and former English student in Lyon 3 is looking for motivated learner! - Online courses or in Lyon
    Hello there! My name is Amandine and I am an English tutor in a video game school, with a solid background in English at the University of Lyon 3 (LLCER Bachelor's and Master's degree, Agrégation prep). My courses are aimed at all levels, whether you are a middle school, high school, university student, or an adult wishing to improve your English, whether for academic, professional or personal reasons. I adapt to each profile: academic support, strengthening skills for an exam (such as the Bac, TOEIC, TOEFL), or simply to develop your communication skills in English. How is a course going? In general, my classes begin with a discussion to assess your expectations and objectives. Then, I offer a session structured around grammar, vocabulary, and oral practice, with varied activities (role plays, scenarios, listening exercises, etc.). The sessions are intended to be interactive and dynamic, while remaining adapted to your level and your specific needs. Teaching methods My method is flexible and based on interactive learning. I combine classic techniques (such as grammar exercises and reading comprehension) with more playful approaches, such as discussions on current topics or analyses of cultural content (series, films, English-speaking music). Cultural openness is essential for me in learning a language. The goal is to make English lively and accessible, while cultivating your curiosity for English-speaking culture. My specificities as a teacher What sets me apart is my relaxed yet structured approach. I like to create a learning environment where you feel comfortable experimenting and learning, without fear of making mistakes. Furthermore, having experienced challenges like dyslexia myself, I understand the difficulties some people may have with learning a language, and I tailor my classes to be inclusive and accessible to all.
