About Elise

Four years of experience in school teaching and private lessons.

After my studies in modern literature and philosophy, I gradually developed a passion for learning and teaching languages (I also speak Dutch, English, German, Italian and Luxembourgish). This brought me to start out as a language teacher in Rome and then in Luxembourg. I love seeing a student start to correct their own mistakes without any prompting on my part, and grow their self-confidence and autonomy over the course of our lesson together!

Precisions:
- My accent in English corresponds to the American pronunciation.
- Without being a native speaker, I am able to appreciate and comment on Shakespeare as well as decrypt the nuances of American slang. This is because in my late teens I developed a great passion for the British and American literature (Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Bellow...).
- During my Masters all of my course work was in English.

I guarantee a 100% successful learning experience for all of my students, so if I think I cannot help someone I will refer them to another teacher.


Studies:
Classes Préparatoires Littéraires at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand (which included courses in English literature at university level)
Bachelor's degree in modern literature and philosophy at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne
Master in modern and contemporary philosophy at the University of Luxembourg
TEFL Training in Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Rome

"The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug". — Mark Twain. Alas! It's true. But what a joy when you have mastered that difference!

As an English teacher, these are the areas I specialize in:
- Helping adults and young French-speaking or German-speaking students improve their level.
- Tutoring high school students on how to write essays and literary analyses.
- Academic support for university students or those preparing for university.

I use a variety of language learning methods in my classes (direct method and communicative method, translation and grammar, images, games and quizzes...), because each student will need an individualized approach.
Indeed, a student who is in high school and who has to read and write fairly advanced texts will not need the same methods as an adult who wants to succeed in speaking French better!

- I have a lot of materials in my library for students who are training for language exams or want to perfect their level.
- Use of authentic materials whenever possible.
- The secret of a good lesson: patience, humor, and high expectations!
- I love to give and correct homework when the student is motivated and wants to do it.
- Medium and long term progression plan for our lessons together, preferably together established with the student.

Details

If the student requires a more intense pace or I need to create highly individualized lessons, this is possible (within the limits of my schedule). This can be discussed during the first meeting.
