I am someone who believes in helping students with not just grammar and vocabulary acquisition, but also with becoming braver in their use of the language. Having spent years learning a wide variety of languages, I know where the pitfalls in English and in French are, and am well-placed to offer a big-picture view of the language that does not shy away from the nitty-gritty.

In terms of the lessons we would have, the classes will always have a central theme, along with a key grammatical concept that we would discover through the theme. In the spirit of collaboration, I would love for students to tell me what they want to learn, and I will bring authentic texts from newspapers and contemporary literature, exercises and other "cheat-sheets" to supplement the class.

I have been teaching for the last 6-7 years young professionals and students English and French for a variety of purposes. I have taught both languages from a basic to an upper-intermediate level, and have experience with journalistic writing, press-releases and English exam preparation.

A student in Economics, I work on linguistics and culture in an economic sense, so I am at ease with the culture behind our language. Born and bred in a British environment in Singapore, and then studying in France gives me added insight into the current affairs of the UK and of France.
