✳️ Trial lessons is the occasion to get to know each other. I would like to know about your needs and motivations and what kind of difficulties you are facing when trying to communicate in English. 

🤝 This is a perfect opportunity to work together on building a plan and talk about how I can help you achieve your goals.

📌Please note: any attempt to abuse the 100% satisfaction system will NOT BE ALLOWED.

Conversation classes are an excellent way to improve or maintain your level of English. I’ll help you correct your mistakes, improve your sentence structure when needed and increase your vocabulary.

This type of class is for students who:

👉 Wish to improve their speaking skills, whatever the purpose (travel, work, etc…)
👉 Want to live or study in an English-speaking country
👉 Have a good level of English and wish to maintain it with engaging discussion topics
👉 Are stuck in their progression and would like to bring their speaking skills to the next level

📌 This type of class can only be effective if we agree on a topic to discuss before. This will help me decide on what material and resources to prepare for the lesson. We can use different type of material, including but not limited to:

📎 Conversational questions on a given topic (work, friends, internet, hometown and many more)
📎 Articles: news, general or specific topics (health, travel, culture, technology, etc…)
📎 Videos: Youtube, Tedtalks or even TedEd for more educational topics

📝I’ll try as much as possible to give you notes and suggestions at the end of the class. You can always send me a message after class if you have any questions or remarks!

Preparing for a test can be challenging and beside English comprehension, time management can be another problem. Here is what I can do for you:

📌 I’ll help you identify your mistakes and weaknesses and work on them. We can work on any part of the test (speaking, reading, listening or writing) but I would suggest to work first on the part that is the most difficult for you.

📌 We’ll work with test material so you can get familiar with the type of questions you’ll have to deal with during your exam. However, I don’t exclude using other material to work on a few particular skills (giving an opinion, using fillers and linking words, reading / listening for gist or details, and so on).

📌 I’ll make sure to give you a strategy that’ll help you manage your time and find an optimum way to prepare before answering a question (for the speaking part).

📝 I’ll give you as much feedback as possible and share my notes with you at the end of each class. 

👉 If you want to know more about how I can help you work on your exam, feel free to send me a message! I’ll be more than happy to help you!

Business English: want to communicate more effectively at work? Let’s boost your confidence.

As a PhD student, I was in charge of managing a project that dealt with the regulation of antimicrobial defenses during inflammatory lung diseases.

Even though I was not teaching English, my professional experience in an English speaking Canadian province was a highly immersive experience that helped me improve my (already decent) English level up to a near native level. Moreover I had to supervise students, so I had to be attentive to their needs and address their inquiries to the best of my abilities.

My research topic consisted in exploring the mechanisms by which proteolytic enzymes can inactivate antimicrobial defenses during lung inflammation. 
I had to deal with a lot of scientific English and also had the occasion to collaborate with other English speakers, students and professionals alike.
