In my personalized tutoring approach, I focus on making learning clear, structured, and accessible for every student. I specialize in working with beginners, bilingual learners, and native French speakers who are developing their English skills. Being fluent in both English and French allows me to bridge the language gap effectively, offering clear explanations and comparisons when necessary to speed up understanding. I use an ACE (Accuracy, Clarity, and Engagement) approach to every lesson: Accuracy to ensure students learn correct grammar, pronunciation, and usage. Clarity to break down complex concepts into simple, understandable steps. Engagement to make lessons interactive, dynamic, and enjoyable. My lessons incorporate a wide range of tools, including dictation practice, reading comprehension exercises, speech recognition technology, and game-based learning platforms. Every session is customized to the student's needs, making sure that learning is progressive, real-world applicable, and confidence-building. Whether supporting a young beginner, a school student, or an adult learner, my goal is always the same: to foster a deep, lasting understanding of English while making the process smooth, motivating, and rewarding. Through patient guidance, structured progression, and an emphasis on real communication, I help students move forward with confidence at every level.
