About Me

Learning languages can be a frustrating, and sometimes boring, endeavour. As a student of Arabic and French, I've taken my share of language classes that didn't work for me. As a teacher, my goal is to make sure that your English classes are engaging, catering to your interests as well as your skill level. I am an outgoing and experienced teacher- a former student once described my early morning politics lesson at LSE as "the only class worth getting out of bed for on a Friday!"

Education

Colby College, BA Government and Middle Eastern Studies, with Honours
London School of Economics, MSc Comparative Politics, with Merit

French to B1 level
Arabic to B2 level

Experience / Qualifications

I have five years of experience tutoring and teaching individuals and small groups at the secondary and university levels, helping non-native English speakers reach their potential in (American and British) English language courses and jobs. I have led one-to-one tutoring sessions, as well as taught on LSE courses with a high number of students for whom English is not their native language.

Homework help and French-English-German-Italian-Spanish language lessons
I have supported a large number of students with homework help (all branches combined) as well as with language lessons. Having also worked for several years as a school substitute, I have accumulated experience and am familiar with the requirements required in class. Polyglot, I master French, English, German, Spanish and Italian and am able to explain the grammar, as well as to propose nice exercises to learn these languages. I think it's important to keep a relaxed and playful atmosphere during the lessons :-) Do not hesitate to contact me if you want more information.

Elisa
English - learn by doing (from perfecting the language to teaching the basics to upgrading)
In the case of tutoring, I base my lessons on the subject seen by the student by explaining to him in another way with many examples and by making him practice as much as possible. In case of learning the basics, I have set up my own totally interactive method so that the student can practice and during which I speak almost only in English to be close to immersion during the lessons. Do not hesitate to contact me for: - learn the basics - prepare for a test - have support for your lessons - practice the language - ... Whatever your needs, I take a practical and fun approach to English because, in my opinion, it is the best way to learn.

Corinne
English: pronunciation (British or American). No grammar lessons. Adults only.
I have facilitated workshops and given classes throughout my career all over the world. English pronunciation is essential these days because English is spoken everywhere and all the time. I followed specialized training such as the verb tonal method, Feldenkrais or mental coaching. We are therefore going to work in a slightly different way by combining articulatory techniques, movement, rhythm, intonation, warming up of the jaw and tongue, stretching of the neck, neck and shoulders to arrive to very fast results.

Feel stuck? Let's take your English to the next level
Since I believe that the learning environment is one of the keys to successful language learning, I endeavor to make students feel comfortable and content in my lessons: to ask questions if they are unsure and keep an easy but rewarding pace of learning. Depending on how my students feel they learn English most effectively, I adapt my lessons to use materials that give them the best results possible. For instance, some students find the continuity of a coursebook effective, while others prefer to be more flexible with articles and podcasts. I know from experience that every student is unique.

Modern Language 2: English for Beginners and Students with Aya
English is recognized as “THE international language” and I was able to learn it over time. A language used throughout the world in all walks of life. Whether you are children, students or French-speaking or Arabic-speaking adults wanting to learn English, I am here to help you! If you are beginners, we will start everything from the beginning with structured courses adapted to your level and type of learning. If you are studying English at school and are having trouble keeping up with the teachers, I will help you review the material and explain it to you in a way that will allow you to understand all the nuances of the language.

Spanish for foreigners, all years, main, intermediate or advanced
I am a Spanish translation and interpretation student, currently studying this year on Erasmus in Brussels. As Spanish is my mother tongue, I would like to dedicate my classes to teaching the language in a practical, easy and enjoyable way.

Eléa
English courses for all levels, for children and adults
Hello, Let me introduce myself, my name is Eléa, I am 27 years old and have a master's degree in biology, specializing in ecology and biodiversity. I teach English here for anyone who wants to learn or improve their level. I speak fluent English, in addition to having obtained a C1 in IELTS, I studied my master's degree in English. I also lived for 6 months in South Africa, working in a South African association. Regarding the course of my classes, everyone learns best in their own way and it is therefore important for me to know each student to know which method(s) to use during our classes (auditory, visual and/or kinesthetic learning). But also to know what the level of the student is to be able to adapt my classes to each one. I think that the methods used at school are not necessarily the most fun and I think that the films, series and books that we like are more interesting to study in order to improve. I therefore propose to learn or improve your level in oral and/or written comprehension, using what interests you. Do you like reading Harry Potter, watching Star Wars for the 30th time, or do you want to finally understand the lyrics to that song you love so much? Well, that's what we'll use to help you learn without feeling like you're working. Regarding oral expression, each session will be on a different subject, which can be chosen in advance depending on what the student wishes to improve. If you are interested in my profile, do not hesitate to contact me, Elea
