Experienced teacher of English & French language, history and culture

I have a Ph.D. in literature and many years of teaching experience in England and France with adults and children.

Before coming to Boston, I lived for five years in Paris where I perfected my French to native fluency. During this time, I taught English language, history and culture to individual students and to university classes at the Sorbonne. My work included helping to prepare students for the TOEIC and the TOEFL, translation into English and French, grammar tuition, literary studies and in-depth explorations of British history and culture.

While living in England I taught French language and translation at The University of Manchester and also tutored high-school students in English, French and History.

My approach to teaching is communicative and I aim to establish an immediate, friendly and direct engagement with my students. I believe that knowledge must develop in parallel with skill and understanding and I present my teaching in a context that my students will find challenging, relevant and enjoyable.

I measure my success as a teacher by the success of my students and I guarantee a personal investment in the development and success of one and all.

French

I have a Ph.D. in French literature from the University of Manchester, UK.

As well as a Ph.D. in literature, I have published numerous articles on literature and linguistics in scholarly and popular journals.

Proofreading

As well as preparing my own writing for publication, I have extensive experience of proofreading my wife's articles for publication in scientific journals.

Study Skills

During my higher studies (Ph.D. in French literature) I needed to organize my own time and plan the evolution of my own work. At the same time, I developed an excellent system of note-taking and the ability to manage large quantities of complex information. My reading technique is also highly evolved, combining a close attention to detail with an ability to analyse large amounts of text at speed.
