About me

Hello! I teach English and French, and I live in a small village very close to Paris. I love languages and teaching is my passion. I have also a lot of curiosity for other cultures and I believe in the power of communication between people around the world, thanks to Verbal planet online courses!

- Possibility of Intensive summer courses , in order to prepare national exams in French...DELF A1, A2, B1, B2 et DALF C1, C2.

Qualifications & Experience

-PLP2 English and French (this certification allows me to teach French and English)

I have taught English and French for ten years in a public high school next to Paris, to French and foreign speakers, so I know the difficulties they have to face phonetics and grammar.

I am allowed to teach English from absolute beginners till level B2 ( Baccalaureat level in France, which means the end of secondary studies).

- CAPES Philosophy

Master Philosophy Paris IV Sorbonne

Psychology studies Paris7 Diderot

French littérature studies Paris IV Sorbonne

I have been staying in Great Britain, Ireland and Scotland, so my accent is more British than American.

I am bilingual In French/English.

Teaching Approach

My teaching approach is founded on a very enjoyable way of learning, which includes conversation, small texts about everyday situations, introduction to French culture.

Especially if you are an absolute beginner, the method I use pays back pretty fast because it is adapted to real life situations, like how to find your way or answer a simple question with a good French accent!

French speakers students are welcome to my courses because I am aware of their particular difficulties with the english language and I know how to solve them in order

to improve their level. So, they will make progress fast enough to get at ease in every situation.

I have been studying with this teacher for the second month for now and I am very pleased with the professional approach and the balance between conversational practice and grammatical exercises during the classes.

Very well structured lesson. We were reviewing homework which is very important in my opinion, as it is not only repetition and digestion of the material but also a good motivation to work at home and to be prepared for the next class. We found some blind spots in my grammar to work on next time. Also, I like that Sylvie is always trying to correct my mistakes in grammar and pronunciation as I don't want them to become my bad habit.

Sylvie is lovely to work with, but there was a sound issue during the lesson which made it difficult for me to hear sometimes. Will check on next lesson

Sylvia came across as warm and friendly. Not at all judgemental and willing to do what makes students happy. A nice change from prescriptive tutors. Look forward to working with her.
