À propos de moi

Hello everyone! My name is Shana and I am excited to help you learn English! I have a TESOL certificate and some experience teaching beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners in the classroom as well as one-on-one tutoring. As a language student of French and Spanish myself, I know how difficult learning a new language can be and believe that the lessons should be personalized for each student. So, we will progress at your pace, covering the areas important to you in the way most effective for you. Our lessons will be fun but practical: there will be speaking, reading, writing and listening exercises about everyday situations so you can start talking right away! I am patient and flexible and will work with you until you get it! If you are a pilot or air traffic controller studying for the language proficiency exam, contact me! I’ve been a commercial pilot for 12 years and can help you with all the technical vocabulary you need to succeed. So get your dictionary and let’s start learning!

Mes leçons d’essai

In the trial lesson, I'll give you 4 points about how I conduct my lessons and then I'll invite you to tell me about yourself, your goals, your interests, your challenges with English, etc. while I take notes.

I will take notes in order to identify the areas we will need to work on. We will review your mistakes and at the end, I'll have a simple speaking assignment for you to complete for the next lesson.
