Hi! I am lively and engaging. I enjoy talking to people, I'm passionate and I'm curious - this combination is what makes me a good teacher. I enjoy the outdoors and nature, I enjoy being active and am athletic. I teach yoga and used this skill to teach English to my students in France for 2 years.

I've taught English to Middle School, High School and College students in France
I've done 1-to-1 tutoring for 2 years to business professionals.
I've taught English online for 1 year now.
I'm an engaging and passionate teacher - I want to assist you to reach your language goals and facilitate your progress. I know how it can feel not to be able to express yourself in a language you're learning so it's important to me to build your confidence and get your speaking fluently.

I have 2 teaching methods:
1) Structured: We work on a piece of literature, prose, an article, or a poem that you're interested in. We read, understand, perfect the pronunciation and discuss and ask/answer questions inspired by the text.
2) Freestyle: I ask questions and introduce scenarios that I'd like you to solve or answer. I ask "table-topic" questions. Random, off-the-wall, colourful questions to inspire, and get your brain working creatively. This teaching style works on stretches your vocabulary and allows creative juices to flow. This style of lesson aims to shake things up and get students thinking, questioning and wondering. It aims to inspire and encourage a love for learning.
