About Me

Throughout my career, (since 2000) I have taught English, provided proofreading, editing, and transcription services for articles, cover letters, CVs, emails, essays, podcasts, blogs, advertising, memos, presentations, proposals, reports, reviews, stories, and more.

Appropriate methodologies and style guides (APA, CMOS, IEEE, MLA, etc.) are followed to meet client/student requirements. Focus is on accurate spelling, punctuation, and grammar, but also on style, content, and concision. I aim to ensure that any writing is error-free and ideas are communicated effectively.

I devise curricula, create presentations, workshops, CLIL resources (Content and Language Integrated Learning), and use a variety of methods to combine accuracy with fluency.
I have taught English around the world in private academies, in company, one to one, groups, virtually, and by phone. Ages range from young learners to adults. Receptive and productive skills are both important.

I also teach business English, assist in the preparation of interviews, pronunciation, and exams which adhere to all levels in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.

Romy
German language teacher for all levels / native speaker
I am native German and I can teach my language in all levels, for children and adults. More than ten years of experience. My focus is the grammar and the conversation. German has a lot of grammar and I always try to teach how the language works and how german people actually speak it, not only how to follow the rules. We'd do a lot of speaking, exercices, games or interactive activities. Depending on your level, there are also lessons in german history, german politics and differences between german, austrian or swiss german.
