Multilingual Humanities and Languages Tutor with 8+ Years of International Experience

About

Born in Hong Kong to anglophone parents and educated in France and Ireland, I bring a truly international perspective to my teaching. With over eight years of experience in academic tutoring and classroom teaching across Paris, Moscow, and online, I specialise in English, literature, history, and humanities. I work with international students, offering tailored, rigorous instruction rooted in creativity, critical thinking, and cultural awareness. My background in the arts and urban studies enriches my approach, making learning both intellectually engaging and personally meaningful.

Teaching experience

Over the past decade, I have taught English, French, and humanities to students ranging from young children to university applicants. I have worked in both international schools, group classes and as a private tutor across Paris, Moscow, and Ireland. I have supported bilingual and near-native learners in mastering language skills, developing critical thinking, and excelling in international curricula such as the IB, IGCSE, A-Level, and the French Baccalauréat. I also prepare students for entry into anglophone schools and universities, with focused coaching in oral expression, academic writing, and interview techniques. Additionally, I have taught English and French as foreign languages to both children and adults, supporting general communication skills as well as preparation for exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, and TOEIC.

Teaching methods

I am a bilingual French–English tutor with over eight years of experience supporting students in international and bilingual school systems. Raised between France and Hong Kong and educated in both France and Ireland, I bring a culturally rich, adaptable approach to teaching. I specialise in English and French language, history, geography, and the humanities, with a strong focus on oral expression and clear communication. My lessons are highly personalised, combining structure with creativity—encouraging students to develop their voice, critical thinking, and curiosity. I support learners across primary, secondary, and pre-university levels, including those preparing for the IB, IGCSE, A-Level, French Baccalauréat, and selective anglophone university admissions.

I also teach English and French as foreign languages to both children and adults, supporting general communication skills as well as preparation for exams such as IELTS, TOEFL, and DELF. My approach combines structured grammar and vocabulary work with engaging speaking practice to build fluency, confidence, and cultural understanding.
