More connection
Private coaching can not only unlock professional opportunities, it can also enrich your social life, allowing you to make new friends or deepen existing connections. Training in English can help you communicate more easily with family living overseas, feel more relaxed when traveling to anglophone countries, or make you more comfortable when networking with international expats in your own city. When you feel comfortable speaking English, you can connect and communicate with millions of other bilingual and polyglot people around the globe. Having a better understanding of English will also increase your appreciation of anglophone culture, such as literature, films, music and more. Investing in private English coaching with me can open up a world of possibilities! You can also connect with other English speakers at my English language events.
about me
Your English Coach
Born on the west coast of Canada (Vancouver), English is my mother tongue. I have been living in Paris since 2015, where I am surrounded by many languages and regularly communicate in English with non-native speakers and native speakers alike. I have diplomas in general academic studies and studio art, as well as a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. Working simultaneously as a professional photographer since 2005, I also have extensive experience in that field. Prior to photography and coaching, I worked in the film industry for almost 9 years. From my mid-teens to early twenties, I was immersed in the interior design domain and had many roles, such as design consultant and visual merchandiser. When not coaching or photographing, I organize networking events because I adore getting to know new people and helping them to thrive.
What I do
coaching
Is my passion
My stress-free, conversation-based online lessons are perfect for any age or language level. I have even successfully coached two generations within the same family and have taught students ranging from 6 to 70 years old. The majority of the people I work with have already acquired some basic English grammar and vocabulary in school, but want to practice speaking to gain confidence while taking their English to the next level. Currently, many of my students are francophones based in Europe, but I have also taught people from other places around the globe . . . that's one of the great advantages of online lessons. Whatever your objective is and wherever you are, I can help. I love seeing my students flourish and achieve their goals while having fun in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere.

My Approach
Learning
Should be fun
As an English Coach, my teaching approach is very adaptive and the atmosphere is encouraging and non-judgemental. During the one-on-one lessons, we discuss subjects that interest you or topics related to your work, the news, your holidays and much more. Since the course is personalized, we will chat in the beginning to identify the things you need to work on first. My lessons are based on conversation, so you can expect to get lots of practice speaking and understanding English to increase your fluency and confidence. I tailor the format to fit your needs and I have many tools and techniques to choose from, so if you also need help improving your grammar, vocabulary, writing, and pronunciation, I have methods for that too. We will adjust the lessons to suit your learning style. To ensure your continued motivation and interest, I always want the lessons to be relaxing and fun. I often release my inner clown, so get ready to laugh!
