About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am American but I live in the south of France near Toulouse. I have lived in France for over 20 years. I have 3 children and a dog. I am also a singer and songwriter. I'm not in a band at the moment, so I love doing karaoke.
-I can teach English
- travel and basic to intermediate French
-mentor musicians and singers who are not native English speakers and who wish to improve their singing and songwriting in English.
-I am a coach for children, adolescents and life coach. For children/teens, this is to support and encourage you when you feel different and are going through a difficult time, not for academic coaching. Adults are asking for my website.
I look forward to working with you in whatever way you want, cheers!
Are you planning a trip to France? Do you need some practical phase to get around airports, hotels, restaurants, beaches, ski resorts? Do you need help understanding cultural differences and customs? Would you like to sound less anglosaxon as to avoid the snooty, confused looks? Would you like some great places to visit that are less known than typical travel packages? Well, I'm the one stop shop. I fell in love with France when I did junior high exchange, majored in French in College, and I've been living here for over 20 years. Here, I'm an English teacher but since I've lived here I'm fluent in French, and in the French ;). - I can guide you with the language and grammar with some basic, useful vocabulary and phrases. - We'll practice asking questions which is vital for travelling and life in general. -I'll give you some pronunciation tips. -We'll do some role plays and listening comprehension. -I could also make some good suggestions for off the beaten track places to see and visit.
No matter what level, or what age, learning a language, especially English is going to serve you. My approach to teaching is interactive and I'd like to stress that what you get out of it, so improving, will depend on your implication. Your effort and positivity will pay off in the long run. I've even written 3 ebook workbooks to accompany you, if you'd like. I adapt to your needs, but I've found that the biggest lack is with the tenses and vocabulary. Listening comp and pronunciation are a closed second (and they're connected:) As you actively apply what you learn, you'll grow in confidence while having fun. I can also help with your CV, cover letters, interviews in English, or presentations.

Singing lessons with an italian lyric-coloratura soprano. From opera to modern and pop. (Masters degree in singing with honours, cum Laude)
My classes are different depending on your level and age. With children from 7 to 12, we start by doing easy vocalization and start training the ear with intonation, we then have fun singing your favorite songs. With teenagers, I also start with some vocalization, a little more elaborate. Depending on the student's capabilities, we start establishing a comfortable range for them and then proceed to singing. For my older students ideally, I divide our lesson into 2 sections. We work on respiration and how the diaphragm works. We do scales and arpeggios and work on intonation. We then proceed to singing and putting into practice our technique. Some students might need more technique before they actually sing, I like to take things slowly and make sure the student feels confident and comfortable singing. I teach children, teenagers, and adults, from beginners to more advanced. Classical training enables you to sing in any kind of way, so don’t hesitate and let’s sing!
