About Barbara
Hello! My name is Barbara, and I am an experienced English and French teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a TEFL certification, which allow me to combine effective teaching strategies with an understanding of how each student learns best.
Throughout my career, I have worked with children, teenagers, adults, and professionals from many different countries and backgrounds. I believe that every student learns differently, so I create personalized lessons that are engaging, supportive, and tailored to each learner's goals and pace.
Whether you're learning English or French for school, work, travel, exams, or everyday conversation, I will help you build confidence while improving your speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, and pronunciation. My lessons are interactive, patient, and focused on helping you make steady progress in a comfortable learning environment.
I am passionate about helping students succeed and creating lessons that are both enjoyable and effective. My goal is not only to teach a language but also to help you feel confident using it in real-life situations. I look forward to supporting you on your language-learning journey!

Learning a new language should be engaging, practical, and enjoyable. My goal is to help every student build confidence while developing strong speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in a supportive environment.
With over 10 years of teaching experience, a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and a TEFL certification, I have taught children, teenagers, and adults from many different countries and cultural backgrounds. I adapt every lesson to each student's learning style, goals, and pace, ensuring that everyone receives a personalized learning experience.
A typical lesson begins with a short review of previous material, followed by new vocabulary or grammar presented in a clear and interactive way. We then practice through conversations, reading activities, games, role-playing, or real-life situations before finishing with a review and optional homework to reinforce learning.
I teach:
English as a Second Language (ESL)
French for beginners to advanced learners
Conversational English and French
Business English and French
Travel English and French
School support and homework help
Exam preparation
Pronunciation and fluency development
My lessons are suitable for:
Children
Teenagers
University students
Adults
Professionals
Complete beginners through advanced learners
What sets me apart is my patient, encouraging, and personalized teaching style. Thanks to my background in psychology, I understand that every student learns differently, so I create lessons that are motivating, structured, and adapted to individual needs. Whether you want to improve your grades, prepare for an exam, advance your career, or simply feel more confident speaking English or French, I will help you achieve your goals in a positive and supportive atmosphere.
I look forward to helping you become a confident and successful language learner!

Barbara, besides having a total knowledge and ease in the French language, is also very methodical and meticulous in preparing lessons.
She manages to combine patience and understanding when the classes are with younger students where it is difficult to keep their attention.Barbara was teaching our three year old daughter at a French immersion program for one year and our daughter absolutely loved her. Barbara has a very dynamic and engaging style almost like a big sister, while managing to convey lots of educational content in a very playful way.
We highly recommend her and are confident that anyone working with her will have their language skills honed and their cultural horizon broadened.Barbara has been teaching my three children for almost two years. She has a great gift for engaging her students and keeping them interested. My children are always excited for their lessons! They have gone from not speaking any French to speaking and understanding a lot. Barbara is patient, thoughtful and a lot of fun. We are lucky to have found her!
- Becca KellyBarbara is a great teacher in-person and remotely. I took French for my B.A and I struggled a lot. I started working with Barbara twice a week throughout the year. I am still taking lessons with Barbara.
She is always on time and organized. She uses different ways to reach out to the student. She uses videos/books/powerpoint etc...See more recommendations
