Language tutor for over 7 years full of curiosity and questionable humor. 🌺 Hello 🌍! I’m a tech-savvy, jazz-loving polyglot (English/French/Spanish/Haitian Creole) who teaches languages *through* culture—not just grammar. Specialize in making idioms, proverbs, and geeky topics (AI, docs, music) your fluency superpowers. My 7+ years’ secret? Lessons feel like swapping stories with a friend—complete with terrible jokes (I’ve got 100+). Message me if you want to learn *alive* languages, not textbooks. Let’s begin! 🌺 My students are also my teachers. Every lesson begins with me guiding them, but by the end, we’ve both learned something new 🤝. My goal is to help you become as fluent as possible by focusing on topics that matter to you, your passions, your interests, what drives you. I also want to show you that language learning doesn’t have to be hard. With a clear motivation 🎯 and a personalized approach, fluency becomes not just possible, but enjoyable. 🌺 Ice breakers: Un Polyglotte sommeille en vous / The Multilingual in you | Sébastien Roger de Nuñez (TEDxTalk) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdImQveEI0c&t=12s Test your french and laugh a little: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyy-KRkdE2c ✨ Lesson Format & Tools I usually teach via the italki classroom but can also use Skype, Google Meet, Zoom, or any platform you prefer.

Just had my first trial lesson with Leila and loved it! My goal is to become more natural and fluid in my conversation and her style was really perfect - very natural conversational flow, but with structure. She had me discuss topics that applied different tools (using past/future, expressing hopes or opinions), in a way that really works conversational muscle and doesn't feel like lessons. She gave great feedback but allowed me plenty of space to try and figure things out on my own. Highly recommend!
