I am an American living in Paris, France for several years now. In addition to being an English Teacher, I am also a court-certified interpreter/translator in Paris. Therefore, I have two careers: one, as a French-English interpreter & translator and, the other, as an English teacher.

I've had 17 years' experience teaching English (General, Business, Legal English, TOEIC, IELTS, etc.) to French professionals and students. I have also taught English to other nationalities living in France such as Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabs, Brazilian, to name a few.

I have had a lot of experience teaching students of all levels, from beginner to advanced. As I speak clearly and give comprehensible grammatical explanations, I am particularly adept at teaching students at lower levels. I adapt my speech and teaching method according to the level of the student I have in front of me. I am also known for my patience and understanding. At the language schools I worked for, I was usually given the students who were beginners or those who were considered "difficult" or too sensitive.

I have had a lot of experience testing students to determine their oral level in English and exactly what their needs & objectives are. Therefore, I would be able to give more personalized lessons to meet the student's needs.
