À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 22 Apr 2022Sujets d'intérêtHistoireJeuxTechnologieFinanceScience
Hi there! I’m Pierre, a former scientist (biology/biochemistry) turned TEFL-certified English teacher. After my PhD, I spent 4 years at UBC Vancouver (British Columbia, Canada), where I honed my skills in academic communication and mentoring adult learners.
I specialize in helping professionals and students like you:
🔬 Scientific/Academic English (theses, papers, presentations, research proposals)
📊 Business & Test Prep (IELTS/TOEFL) with proven strategies
💬 Fluency-focused conversations —from common to more complex topics (tech, history, philosophy, etc.) my lessons are tailored to your goals. Let’s help you gain in confidence—message me to start!
Moi en tant que professeur
✅ I managed to reach C2 proficiency so I know how learning English as a non-native speaker can be tricky.
✅ I had to supervise many students in biology and I know how critical it is to understand their needs.
✅ I’ll always work with you on improving your fluency by giving you constructive feedback.
✅ I’m very patient and I’ll let you talk as much as possible so you can have a chance to wok on your errors and gain confidence, all of this in a friendly atmosphere!
✅ You are more than welcome to propose your own material, I’m always ready to prepare classes based on what you like.Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
✅ I always find appropriate materials for my lessons and make sure that you can get something from it.
✅ I’ll correct your errors but I’ll also try to guide you so you can understand your errors and find a personalized way to avoid them.
✅ I can also help you preparing for your test (IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, etc…). We’ll work with test templates and I’ll make sure to give you a strategy to help you improve both your time management and English skills.
✅ I have experience in academic/scientific English, if you are a student preparing a thesis or a scientist wishing to publish in a scientific journal, I can help you.
📌 Please note that I do NOT teach children, thank you.Mes ressources d'enseignement

Formation
2012 - 2015
Doctorat - Life Sciences / BiochemistryAs a PhD student, I was in charge of managing a project that dealt with the regulation of antimicrobial defenses during inflammatory lung diseases.
Expérience professionnelle
2016 - 2019
Postdoctoral fellowEven 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.
2012 - 2015
Doctoral researcher (PhD candidate)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.

For the first time I see a teacher who is so involved in the process. Despite his initial introverted appearance, Pierre is an excellent English teacher. It quickly became clear that Pierre is friendly and approachable, and also incredibly motivating and inspiring. Pierre's teaching style is superb. He is patient, and his explanations are clear. He is always willing to go the extra mile to help you understand a word or concept.
I would recommend to anyone, regardless of their English level. He is not only engaging and friendly, but also extremely professional and dedicated to his students' improvement.
Pierre, you do a great job, keep teaching, please.

In every class, he even didn’t need any other teaching props, both of us were fully involved in the classes. We discussed a wide range of topics such as history, teaching, life, culture, etc. I truly recommended my teacher to be your provisional English teacher.
