As an experienced teacher and a professional writer, I can help you with all aspects of English, whether that's literature, essay writing and analysis for school, or improving on your English as a second language, or for the aspiring writer seeking professional critique and advice for their writing with the view to publish. I can be on hand to help with a child's English homework as well. Classes are tailored to your individual needs, so every class is different.
I am certified with CELTA, PGCE with a degree in Art History. I have taught at international primary schools as well as been a private tutor to children and adults of all ages. As a writer, I am published through National Geographic, though I primarily focus on fiction.

About Me
- Learning should be fun. I'm a believer of play-based learning for children (and also adults!) because when you're having fun, you're automatically learning. When the content of what you learn becomes relevant to you on a personal level, that's when magic happens.- I'm personable and enjoy getting to know my students. Building good rapport is so important because when any corrections come up, the student knows I'm coming from a good place, a place of trust. That's half the battle to getting the student to listen.
- I believe in encouragement. While corrections are part and parcel to teaching, sometimes highlighting the good areas, the student's strengths, what they did well, is as much part of the learning as pointing out the mistakes. It's a matter of what you focus on: Glass half full or glass half empty? Both are true. But perspective is everything.
- As someone who's bilingual and raising bilingual kids, I am in a unique position to understand the needs of the multilingual and multicultural person. I'm native in English and Cantonese and able to use both languages for lessons. I am conversational in Czech and have rudimentary Mandarin, so I'm familiar with what it's like to learn a foreign language on a personal level.
Education
BA degree in History of Art (University of Nottingham)CELTA (Cambridge cert for teaching English as a foreign language to adults)
PGCE (University of Cumbria)
I'm also bilingual in English and Cantonese. I have basic/conversational Czech (A2-B1 level according to European standards)
Experience / Qualifications
10+ years across all ages - both children and adults, with focus on KS2 children. I have taught both proficient children in international school settings as well as tutored English as a foreign language to children and adults who are not yet fluent (levels vary).Ask a question

Online French language tutoring in a creative way and proficiency (for all levels)I tutor French language for learners interested in improving their pronunciation, grammar, reading, writing, and preparation for international exams, I'm willing to help you become fluent in daily life conversations simply and creatively with no complications and a sense of humour sometimes.

All materials will be provided to you by email.
Lessons are well organized
I can suggest a weekly task
In addition, I can support with translation and proofreading.

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research
The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.
For help with writing:
The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.
For analyzes of oral literary texts:
In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.
For the corrections of end of studies work:
so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.
Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.
For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.
For adults (FLE):
In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).
The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.
Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.
