Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • I’m nervous about speaking English. What if I make mistakes?

    Mistakes are not only welcome — they’re essential! Think of them as stepping stones to fluency. In our sessions, you’ll be encouraged to speak freely, experiment with new phrases, and yes, make glorious, grammar-defying mistakes. I’ll guide you gently, correct you kindly, and celebrate your progress every step of the way.

  • Do I need to have a high level of English to start?

    Not at all! I work with learners from intermediate to advanced levels, including professionals who want to refine their business English or conversational fluency. If you can hold a basic conversation, we can build from there — no Shakespearean soliloquies required.

  • What kind of English do you teach?

    Great question! I specialize in:

    Business English: Meetings, presentations, emails, negotiations — all the professional stuff.

    Conversational English: For travel, social situations, or just chatting confidently.

    Pronunciation & Accent Coaching: Sound more natural and be better understood.

    Writing Skills: From emails to reports, I’ll help you write with clarity and impact.

  • How are the lessons structured?

    Lessons are tailored to you. After a free consultation, I’ll design a learning plan based on your goals, level, and interests. A typical session might include:

    Warm-up conversation

    Vocabulary or grammar focus

    Real-world practice (roleplays, simulations)

    Feedback and tips for improvement

    And yes, we’ll laugh a little too — learning should be enjoyable!

  • Can I choose the topics we study?

    bsolutely! Want to prepare for a job interview? Practice small talk for networking events? Decode the mysteries of phrasal verbs? You’re in charge. I’ll guide you, but your goals shape the journey.

  • How do I book a lesson?

    Easy! Just head to the Contact or Booking section of the website. You can choose a time that suits you, and I’ll confirm by email. If you’re unsure, book a free 20-minute consultation — no strings attached.

    Bundles (5 or 10 lessons) at a reduced rate.

    I use a mix of:

    Custom materials I create for you

    Authentic resources (articles, videos, podcasts)

    Business documents or emails you want help with

    Occasional grammar guides (but only the fun ones!)

    No dusty textbooks unless you really want them.

    Yes! I offer:

    Detailed writing corrections with explanations

    Accent reduction tips if that’s your goal

    You’ll get clear, actionable feedback — not just red marks.

  • Do you teach group lessons?

    Currently, I focus on 1-to-1 coaching to give you maximum attention. However, if you’re part of a team or want a small group session (e.g. for colleagues), get in touch — I’m open to creating something bespoke.

  • Can I learn English with you even if I live outside France?

    Of course! All lessons are online via Teams or Google Meet. Whether you’re in Paris, Prague, or Patagonia, we can connect.
