    English lessons with a qualified British teacher in Paris

    I am a qualified English teacher from Britain with many years of teaching experience.
    I enjoy helping my students to gain confidence in the four basic skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking.
    I teach both general English and business English, offering both formal and informal course structures.
    I can follow a fixed syllabus, working through course books chapter by chapter. Alternatively, I can provide informal conversation classes, discussing topics of interest and boosting confidence.
    I have a British accent (southern English), so my students benefit from copying my accent and speaking like a native.
    I take notes on every class, providing feedback and homework.
    I am also an experienced editor, so I am happy to correct essays/reports and assist with applications.
    Most of all, I aim to make lessons relaxed and enjoyable!

    Extra information

    I am happy to meet at students' homes in central Paris. If you prefer, we can meet in a cafe or talk online, using Skype, Zoom or Google. If you already have books that you wish to study from, please bring them to the lessons. Otherwise, I am happy to provide the materials.

    Mathematics courses given by pre-PhD math students
    Mathematics is a very important subject in the schools and even in the universities. As a math-major student, I have a good knowledge of math. I could offer courses for students preparing for exams in the schools, or possibly the math olympiads. I would also be happy to give more advanced courses for students who want to know more about modern mathematics, which might also be useful for high school or college-entrance exams.

    ✅ COPYWRITER, ADVERTISING WRITER, DESIGNER-EDITOR: ENHANCE YOUR CONTENT TO OFFER IT BETTER
    Copywriting is the art of selling with words. In short, it's written marketing. Concretely, a copywriter (or copywriter) writes content tailored for the sale of a product or service. And precisely, it is either: - to offer you concrete techniques, a clear methodology and pragmatic tools to learn how to write quality content yourself for your own needs - or to help you directly to promote the content of your product and design a text, a letter, a hook, a slogan, write marketing files, press releases, an internet page, blog posts, advertising banners and newsletters (...) in an impactful and optimal way. Choose the appropriate terms and format them in order to convey an idea, a message, in the most relevant, effective and persuasive way possible. So, how can you write writing highlighting a brand, a product, a person or simply a company... in order to promote it and gain visibility? This is why, to help you on the one hand, to create strong, attractive and synthetic messages but also on the other hand, to teach you to do it for yourself, it will be a question of precisely understanding your needs, your product, your strategy, the values you wish to convey (...). Objective: to be creative enough to capture the attention of your audience and make readers want it. With reusable writing, making your communication profitable, increasing your notoriety and achieving your objectives (...) allows you to make a lasting impression over time. Because always keep in mind that the writing remains. Develop your visual approach, compare the coherence of the text with the guideline but also the coherence of the idea with the graphic concept: it is also a question of assuming the tasks of coordination. If you also wish to train yourself to write other content yourself, the training can include deepening your writing skills to give personality to your texts, developing ideas, concepts and their implementation, creativity/presentation techniques... all anchored in practical exercises and scenarios. ➤ THE COPYWRITER TRAINER Trained at the Grande Ecole post-European preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our teacher has specialized and worked for more than 17 years, in Europe and North America, in the field. On the one hand as a copywriter then as director of communication / advertising agencies. On the other hand, as a trainer in this field in renowned public and private international establishments, speaking in forums and conferences. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject. ✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat. ✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions. The rate offered is not a corporate rate and does not allow the delivery of invoices to companies that request it. ✓ Languages: French/English. ✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 1 to 2 sessions (*2024 study). ✓ As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

    Learning Japanese for Traveling and conversation with japanese.
    Are you planning a trip to Japan? The truth is, most Japanese people don’t speak much English. While they may try to communicate using a few words, knowing even a little Japanese can be incredibly helpful! It will also make them happy and even more welcoming. In this class, I will focus on practical conversation, based on my experience as a tour guide. We’ll cover essential Japanese phrases that my guests often wanted to learn while traveling. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to enjoy conversations with locals, creating unforgettable memories on your trip to Japan.

    English Tutoring for Adults - Beginners to Advanced
    Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual. My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to: . Develop and widen their vocabulary; . Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview; . Gain confidence in spoken English; . Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors. After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

    Support in English, learn English at your own pace
    English, although it is an easier language than some others, can, at times, prove to be complicated. Bilingual following my childhood spent in England, I offer support from elementary school to high school (and more), whatever your level (basic or not). Whether it is for a school aid or to better understand English, speak it, review basics that have not been completely acquired, build sentences, write paragraphs, analyze words and use them, improve pronunciation, spelling, translating, or just conversing in English ..., I offer my help. My services in learning English are quite broad: we will analyze what you are missing and I will adapt the course according to your needs, so that it is no longer a problem.

    English conversation classes and homework help
    Student in M1 Public Law at the University of Paris-II, I completed part of my studies abroad including my third year in Japan and a final year in the United States. I give conversation classes and homework help classes in English. The courses are mainly intended for students with a beginner or intermediate level. Depending on the needs indicated before the session, I can adapt to all requests and create tailor-made courses in listening comprehension, reading comprehension and oral and written expression. For conversation classes, the goal is to help you express yourself both on a given subject and in everyday life. Classes can be done alone with me or in a group. For homework help, I mainly offer help for school levels up to the bachelor's degree. Having completed part of my law studies abroad, I also offer more specific courses on law subjects studied in English.

    homework help - private lessons in English, French and Spanish - childcare
    Hello, I offer academic support in all subjects from primary to secondary school, as well as English and Spanish lessons. A doctoral student in geography at the Sorbonne, I am familiar with the educational and academic system. I would like to use my experience through personalized monitoring of a student. In particular, I am able to provide assistance in methods of learning and assimilation of knowledge. I myself benefited from homework help during my schooling, my father is a university professor. I have already provided homework help to primary and middle school students, and I have taught at university. It seems important to me to be able to put oneself in the student's place in order to understand what they do not understand and to adapt the help to measure. Through my research work abroad, I acquired a good command of English and Spanish. I therefore also offer private English lessons. I am also available punctually, or regularly in the evening, to babysit. I already have experience in babysitting.

    Help with homework, acquisition and mastery of knowledge
    Hello, my name is Audrey! (English Bellow) I am a student in international relations and foreign languages (Chinese) at INALCO. My studies led me to work on many and very diverse subjects but above all to learn and quickly master many concepts and knowledge! To achieve my goals, I had to develop tips and use methods. So I know how daunting, frustrating and even impossible to achieve it can sometimes seem. Also, I propose to accompany you to help you, whatever your level (primary, college, high school, higher education), to achieve your goals without being discouraged. I had the opportunity in the past to help children and adolescents in their learning. It is true that not everyone has the same abilities or the same appetite for studies, but everyone is driven by a passion, a center of interest. Use them to learn! For instance : You or your child are passionate about music, let's create a melody to make you remember this grammar lesson on which you have been stuck for several days so that it definitely fits in your mind. Passionate about drawing? Let's create memory cards together so that you artistically memorize all the dates related to the First and Second World Wars, for example. Learning does not exclusively involve cramming, it is also and above all about understanding the content and confidence (in oneself and in one's skills)! My sessions aim to offer the student, young people a warm space in which they feel confident to learn, try and sometimes fail. Each course is unique and adapts to your needs. I am currently in Paris and I can move if necessary. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to talk with you about your expectations, your objectives and my working method. Looking forward to help you! See you soon Hello my name is Audrey!

    English Communication/Conversation With an Experienced Native-Speaking Teacher
    I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week. I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading. My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.
