About
Hi! I'm a language and linguistics teacher with 15 year's experience in general, business and scientific English to ESL students. I hold a Master's degree in Language Sciences from the Sorbonne in Paris,France and am currently studying another masters in neurosciences.
I love helping students reach their language goals, whether for personal motivations, professional motivations or TOEIC, TOEFL or other language exams. I can also help prepare for job interviews or travels.
Teaching Style
I adapt myself to interests, levels and personality types. I like giving homework, if the client wants to or has time to do it.
Curriculum
My teaching method is based on reviewing grammar and vocabulary but specifically talking about what the student wants to talk about.
