Hello!
My name is Libby. When I'm not teaching languages or learning them myself, you can find me sewing historical costumes, or getting up to something in the kitchen!Me as a Teacher
My degree is in French and Francophone Studies, with a secondary major in Ancient Greek language. In addition to French and Greek, I have also studied German, Latin, and Old French and linguistics.
In university, I worked as a French tutor, which involved taking classes in second language acquisition, teaching classes and leading review sessions for beginner and intermediate students, and having office hours to help students with homework, essay correction, pronunciation, and grammar.
After university, I worked as a substitute teacher and lead classes in French, English, German, and Latin for 9-18 year olds. My lessons & teaching style
I offer:
-Informal speaking practice
-Practice IELTS and TOEFL tests
-Business English: mock job interviews, help with professional emails, job applications, formal presentations
-Academic English: reading, writing, and speaking for academic journals and conferences
-Help with understanding older English texts (such as Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen)
-Personalized audio recordings for listening practiceMy teaching material
- Text Documents
- Test templates and examples

Libby is very charismatic and open-minded person. We can talk about everything! As a teacher she's very supportive and patient to any kind of my mistakes. I can trust Libby that's why every lesson I feel relaxing and it helps me to speak calm without anxiety. Nowadays I can speak without obstacles thanks to Libby!
