About Me
italki teacher since Dec 11, 2018Interest topicPets & AnimalsReadingMusic
Hello I'm Mym, short for Myriam :)
I am a teacher/Financial translator.
I was raised monolingual and I was always extremely admirative of people who could speak ANOTHER LANGUAGE! That was pure magic to me (still is!)
I am currently learning 10ish languages and it's a never-ending source of bliss for me.
I always feel energised when I get to speak, listen to or read in a foreign language, thinking "wow! this is not foreign anymore! it's happening! my dream came true!"
I have a Bachelor of Political Science, a Master Degree in History and a Master Degree in Finance and Strategic Planning from Sciences-po Paris
Me as a Teacher
My main values are kindness, efficiency and flexibility.
I specialise in helping people out of the plateau phase as I enjoy helping them break through that ceiling and rediscover the joy of speaking a foreign language.
I enjoy explaining the implicit values, norms of France
I teach according to the methods used by successful polyglots, especially those who were born and raised monolingual to understand how to effectively master a language.
Let's talk about politics, Modern or Ancient History, economics, philosophy, psychology, literature, linguistics, science. I am always excited to get to understand new perspectives on those topicsMy lessons & teaching style
It is important for me to understand your goals and how you will know that you have reached them. It is crucial to get this feeling of excitment once the goal is reached ! Pat yourself on your back or something ! it's one of the best feeling ever to get to speak a language that was once foreign and that is now part of who you are :)
My forte is identifying patterns and global trends
I provide systemic feedbacks based on your strengths and most common mistakes at the end of every lesson and we can talk about the overall trend
If you want to work on something specific, it can be done; I enjoy having to improvise lessons, feel free to challenge me :)My teaching material

I've been surprised how easy it was to talk to "Mym" while improving my skills (at least a little bit) at the same time. I'm still a bad french speaker and afraid of conversation in french. But Myriam encourages me to keep pushing, even if she pushes me in an almost imperceptible way. She's very encouraging and supportive, so I'll try to book further lessons with her.

Very good, not much else to say :D
Mym catches on very fast when I get stuck, but still manages to give me a chance to test my memory and actually use the language. Great sense of timing, and not wasting time.

It was a very interesting introduction lesson with Mym. She is a very positive person and a good teacher. We touched a lot of subjects and while talking she managed to notice and correct my mistakes without interrupting the conversation. I strongly recommend her as a teacher. Thank you, Mym.

Myriam was very encouraging and kind and gave me lots of authentic words and phrases so I can attempt to sound more Parisian!
