About Emilie

I am a native French speaker. I grew up in France. I have learned English, Swedish, and Spanish at a young age. I studied at the Bilingual International School of Paris (EIB). I then graduated from high school with the French Scientific Baccalaureate: a comprehensive rigorous program that gives in-depth knowledge in every subject (mathematics, science, French and English literature, history, philosophy). On top of that, I was part of the Anglophone Section of my high school. I learned British, American, Australian and Canadian history.

My English-teaching qualification is the 120-hour TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) with a specialization in teaching young learners. I have taught as an EFL teacher in Thailand for two months, and Pakistan for one month.

I am a student at University College London (UCL). I study Philosophy full-time.

I can help you prepare for the FCE, CAE, IELTS and TEFL.

I have the IELTS (8.5). I possess all certificates for safeguarding children in general, and in education specifically.

I am a member of The Chartered College of Teaching, the Cambridge Primary Review Trust and the National Association for Primary Education.

About the lesson

I teach English as a foreign language. “TEFL” is the acronym for Teaching English as a Foreign Language, or simply, English language instruction for non-native speakers. Also known as Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), English Language Teaching (ELT), and teaching ESL (English as a Second Language). My lessons are geared towards young learners in particular, but also adults of any age willing to learn English.

I plan my lessons according to the student’s needs. I let the student contribute to the class and feel part of the learning process by allowing him or her to bring material like books, newspaper articles, academic journals, songs or objects. I address the student’s weaknesses more consistently and thoroughly through regular assessments. I let the student go at his or her own pace so that he or she can work without pressure.

I use a mixture of different teaching methodologies:

AUDIO-LINGUAL METHOD

· Based on the idea that humans learn best through a series of habit-forming exercises

· Uses drills/pattern practices (e.g. students listening then repeating what they hear; students completing structured phrases/sentences)

· Focus is on the use of grammatical structures, rather than grammar itself

Widely used around the world, e.g. in language labs where rows of students listen to recordings and repeat the language they hear.

DIRECT METHOD

· Based on the idea that students will learn best if the target language is used actively in the classroom

· Lessons cover both oral and aural skills and are taught using the target language

· New points of language are introduced orally, with vocabulary taught through the association of ideas or demonstration

· Carefully graded exchanges are used to build oral skills

· Accuracy (including correct pronunciation) and grammar are not emphasised.

This is a popular form of teaching, which is used by the Berlitz language school chain.

COMMUNICATIVE APPROACH

· Emphasises interaction and aims to reflect what will happen in real-life situations with a focus on functions (such as agreeing, inviting, suggesting, etc.) as opposed to reliance only on grammar and vocabulary;

· The basis of learning is communication, rather than activities such as translation or rote learning;

· Allows both social and linguistic context to be explored.

It can have a very positive effect on student motivation, as their desire to communicate is given prime position.

NATURAL APPROACH

· Emphasis is on communication, rather than the conscious study of grammar;

· Learning is based on students’ needs and uses activities that are likely to be relevant/stimulating for them;

· Focus on maximising learner self-confidence and reduction of stress;

It is an example of the Communicative Approach, which usually also borrows from other methods.

TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR)

· Aims to teach oral proficiency to beginners;

· Focuses on coordinating speech and action, linked to the belief that the more often something is repeated, the easier it is to recall;

· Students are taught through rote repetition, which can be combined with physical activity.

This is only usually used with beginners and children and is normally combined with other methodologies.

GRAMMAR-TRANSLATION METHOD

· Students are usually taught in their first language;

· Students analyse and learn grammar rules and use this knowledge to translate texts into and from the target language.

Popular in the past, but not generally used by TEFL teachers today.

COMMUNITY LANGUAGE LEARNING (CLL)

· Based on counselling techniques and aims to have a holistic approach to learning

· Involves techniques such as analysis, group work, recording, translation, free conversation, reflection, transcription, and listening

Teachers using this method need to be familiar with counselling skills and have specific training.

THE SILENT WAY

· Based on the idea that the teacher should remain as silent as possible in the classroom, with students encouraged to produce language themselves;

· Students aim to learn by discovery and association with physical objects and use problem-solving to help their learning;

· Involves the use of “Cuisenaire rods” – coloured rods developed by Georges Cuisenaire to teach mathematics.

Fairly uncommon approach to language teaching.

MY APPROACH IS ECLECTIC!

I draw on all the above methodologies rather than trying to shoehorn every lesson into a “one size fits all” approach.

For example, a class of eight-year-olds may learn enthusiastically and expertly when you use TPR to get the class hopping around the room while teaching commands. However, try this same method with a stony-faced group of senior executives learning English for business, and you may get somewhat different results!

The purpose of my eclectic approach is to build confidence so that the students become more excited about using the language, and more generally, learning and studying.

STRUCTURE OF A LESSON FOR YOUNG LEARNERS

Young learners tend to have short attention spans and much physical energy. This is why I do not spend more than 10 or 15 minutes on any one activity because children tend to become bored quickly. I keep them engaged by supplementing the exercises with lots of brightly coloured visuals, toys, puppets, or objects to match the ones used in the stories that I tell or songs that we sing. I try to make learning more fun by involving the students in the creation of the visuals or realia. Having children involved in creating the visuals that are related to the lesson helps engage students in the learning process by introducing them to the context as well as to relevant vocabulary items. When choosing materials or themes to use, I find ones that are appropriate for my students based on their language proficiency and what is of interest to them.

Young learners function well within a structured environment and enjoy the repetition of certain routines and activities. I have a strong, warm, dynamic rapport with my learners. While in Thailand, I would always start my classes with the “Hello Song!” and end the class with the “Goodbye Song!”. Having basic routines in the classroom allowed me to manage the children effectively. I greeted them collectively at the outset of the lesson and ceremonially together waved goodbye at the end of the class. This had, of course, the additional benefit of being subtle signalling of the structure of the lesson, elegant building of a respectful learning community and excellent tuition in good manners and graciousness.

At the end of each class, the children have to thank me for the lesson. I insist on this because it teaches children to be thankful and respectful. According to Daniel Fallon in the Case study of a paradigm shift (The value of focusing on instruction), teachers influence student achievement 20 times more than other variables, such as class size and poverty.

MEDITATION FOR ALL AGE

I do a five-minute meditation before each class. There are countless benefits to meditating. Several studies in school settings have shown that when children meditate, this improves their attention and behaviour. Children’s brains get tired quickly. Hence, meditating is the opportunity for them to take some time out, relax and focus. Meditation offers this break and helps kids function more effectively and clearly. This is why I incorporate mindfulness training into my lesson plans. I invite the child to sit quietly, resting with eyes closed, and bringing attention to his/her breath. When their attention drifts away, which happens very often, I simply remind them to usher their attention back to their breath without judgment. The benefits of this type of meditation are countless; they rest the mind, body, and spirit. This, in turn, has many mental, physical, and spiritual benefits.

YOGA

There’s no doubt, however, that sitting still for any length of time can be difficult for some kids. For this reason, I often change the mindfulness meditation to a movement-based meditation — yoga. I teach yoga poses and exercises that children of all ages can enjoy to help cultivate self-health, relaxation, and inner fulfilment and body awareness. I never do any pose that can harm the child in any way.

I approach children’s yoga with an educational philosophy. I am a massive fan of Treehouse Yoga for Children’s philosophy. I aim to teach children life long strategies to deal with everyday life. With continued practice and time, I believe I can foster them with self and spatial awareness, kindness, community, and focus.

Yoga blends physical activity with breathwork and guided mindful movements to help children separate themselves from feeling stressed or anxious. Deep breathing exercises send signals to the brain, telling it to relax. Yoga focuses on the present moment and encourages children to leave their thoughts and worries behind. With a relaxed body and mind, children are better able to cope with their emotions, i.e. frustration, patience, sad, angry, excited.

While practising yoga, I ask the child to clear his/her mind and focus on moving his/her bodies through a sequence of poses. A regular yoga practice will help translate focus from the movements in yoga practice to schoolwork and other activities the child is involved in. Sessions scaffold from the first to the last class, building repetition, patterns, and memory. I encourage the child to tune in to his/her body and notice how they feel in each present moment.

Through yoga, children are taught to focus on themselves personally as well as how they contribute to the success of a group or community through partner poses and group poses. Through these activities, they build confidence with their practice and who they are as a person. Each child is taught to have an “I can” attitude with poses, and are trained not to give up even if a pose does not come to them easily.

HOMEWORK FOR ALL AGE

My lessons are dynamic and fun, and I challenge my students in many ways so that they can learn and study more confidently. Lessons are essential, but so is homework in order for the student to continue studying between classes. Homework plays a vital role in students' education.

There is a colossal homework debate in primary schools. Many teachers believe that homework only brings stress and anxiety to children once they are home. I disagree partly with this claim. I agree that homework can be stressful if it is not purposeful and misunderstood. But I believe that homework is essential for a child’s education because it helps him/her memorise and digest the information learned during the day/week. In order to experience the benefits of homework, the work being set should have a clear goal, as well as being worthwhile and purposeful to encourage student completion. Thus, I give purposeful and short homework to my students. Purposeful homework is intrinsically linked to quality homework‭, ‬as opposed to quantity homework‭. I do not overload my students with a huge amount of homework. When I was teaching in Thailand, all my students were very excited to hand back their homework. I provided clear‭ ‬and detailed‭ instructions ‬and set engaging tasks that ‬provided the students with a real reason to complete them‭. ‬

Emilie's response
Valeria was a very attentive, hardworking and responsible student. She asked relevant questions, paid attention in class and always smiled. Her English has really improved in the two months we worked together; especially her pronunciation! I am very impressed with her and will always remember her. Very good job!

Perfect! Emilie is an impressive teacher!

Communication is crucial within a business. I am the head of the company, “Sunberg Private Limited”, based in Paris. Most of my staff work in Karachi, Pakistan. They speak amongst themselves the local language but only speak English with me. Their English level is not very advanced. I believed that my company needed English as the primary language to communicate more effectively.

To improve communication between my staff and between my team and myself, I hired Emilie as an English Teacher. She taught all the members of my staff individually every day for a month in Karachi. She was a fantastic teacher. My staff’s English speaking, listening, and writing skills have significantly increased. Their improvement has helped advance communication within my company. Emilie was always on time, prepared, and enthusiastic about teaching my staff.
Here are a few reviews from my team, which I believe are proof of Emilie’s competence as an English teacher:
“Emilie really knows English very well and has helped me improve greatly. The lessons are really focused around my needs and my level. We go through Grammar together. She made me talk more than her so that I would improve my speaking skills. I would really recommend Emilie as a teacher” (Sanawwar)
“Emilie is a great teacher. She is able to explain things clearly so that I can understand. My English level was very basic before I started with her. But after four-weeks of classes with Emilie, I feel more confident in speaking and writing in English. She is so good at what she does. She does not make learning boring. I have learned so much vocabulary useful for work.” (Salahuddin)
“Emilie has a lot of energy and enthusiasm. It is very contagious. When my boss told me I was going to do English lessons with a teacher, I was not very excited. During a day of work, I tend to be tired. The idea of going to English lessons felt like a burden. But from the first class, I was surprised by Emilie’s knowledge, her methodology and how she answered my questions. She really works according to students’ needs and levels. Once I started with her, I wanted to go to the classes every day. They were the light of my day. I am very sad that she is gone now, she is greatly missed” (Munawwar)
For all these reasons, I would highly recommend Emilie as a teacher.

At UCL I took a formal logic class with Emilie as part of our philosophy degree. I was really struggling to understand how to complete derivation proofs in first order logic. Emilie was able to explain to me where I was going wrong very clearly and effectively. As a result of her help, I grasped the procedure; and in our exam the following week, I achieved a first class.

Since Emilie was able to so excellently help me grasp this complex process in university level logic, I have every confidence in her ability to offer effective tuition to children of all ages.

Emilie is a dedicated, passionate, and perceptive individual. She has a natural way with children and is able to adapt her teaching style accordingly. She enjoys reading and is dedicated to keeping up-to-date on relevant research about education. Emilie is passionate about teaching and recently spent time in Thailand teaching English to primary school students. She returned with a renewed fervor to be the best teacher she could be.

Emilie has lived and traveled abundantly which makes her sensitive and respectful to different cultures. Traveling has provided her with an open perspective which allows her to work with the diversity that is present in education. Furthermore, she is very punctual and good with communication.

I am an elementary school teacher and have been teaching for the past 5 years. I have know Emilie for over 2 years and I would highly recommend her as a tutor. I am positive she will be an excellent classroom teacher once she has finished her PGCE which she has been ardently preparing for.

As Emilie's personal trainer, I can say that she values and takes very seriously the quality of her work in her training and nutritional habits. When we are learning a new exercise, Emilie takes her time to learn and master the mechanics before slapping on the weight - a real perfectionist! She is also quite hilarious and a real joy to be around. It is very easy to work with such a professional and sociable person.

Emilie was one of my best Spanish students in high school. Emilie is a naturally curious young woman who is always trying to deepen her knowledge by all possible means: conferences, reading, trips, and museums. She is passionate about history, politics, cinema, philosophy and is a real encyclopedia in certain domains! At ease and dynamic in spoken work, she always takes part in debates organized in class and is a driving force in these discussions. Her written work is equally of high quality and pertinence. Her motivation, work and participation are all very consistent and precise and she is always very mature in her reflection and argumentation. Emilie is a very charming, funny, original young woman, a real intellectual and an artist who also has a good sense of humour.

Emilie is a former student. I helped her with her maths Baccalauréat in France, before she entered UCL. She got 17/20 at the exam, which is an excellent grade. She is hard-working, serious, kind, extremely polite, fun, with a growth mindset, and I must say I am very much impressed – however not suprised - with the wonderful work she’s done so far as a primary teacher. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone with children in primary school.

In 2017, I met Emilie at a students' demonstration fighting for free education. It was organised by the National Union of Students (NUS). Subsequently, we were both elected as NUS delegates for the 2018 Conference. During the conference, Emilie demonstrated herself as a warm, approachable, enthusiastic individual, with wit intelligence and time for everyone. Emilie's communication skills were on fleek. She was confidently able to put her ideas across without condescension. I would highly recommend her as a primary school teacher because she can combine the above attributes with a creative and innovative approach to education.

I've known Emilie for many years. We met at UCL during a meeting about free education. I was working as a brand manager for Teach First, an educational charity based in London. I immediately befriended Emilie due to our mutual passion for education and the need for good teaching for a child's development. It's not often that you meet someone with the dedication and drive for educational excellence, which instantly drew me to Emilie. Since then, I have seen Emilie engaged in the movement for free education and push for access to education in the UK. Early years education is crucial for later development and building the basis for a child to succeed. I know that Emilie is serious and passionate about primary education for children of all backgrounds: children from low-income housing and ESL housing. These children often lack the resources and tools to succeed in our society. Emilie wants to make a change in these children's lives and give them a chance they deserve to learn and grow. Through no fault of their own, these kids are less likely to be taught by high-achieving teachers. This is because fee-paying schools offer salaries that attract the best teachers. Emilie is in this for real charity and egalitarian reasons, which is genuine and refreshing. And therefore, I know that Emilie would make a great early-years teacher.

I am a student at UCL with Emilie. I met Emilie for the first time at the Freshers' Fair of UCL's Students' Union. She was advertising one of the student societies dedicated to the fight for free education. My first impression of her was that she was a very enthusiastic person and professional in her work. She aimed to impress other students to join her society. Today, we are the head of this student society together. I want to give Emilie an excellent recommendation as a primary school teacher. I’ve known Emilie for three years now, and she is an inspiration for me. I admire her qualities of leadership and her excellent communication skills. She is extremely good at convincing people of her ideas regarding education. Emilie believes education should be free for everyone. Her passion for teaching is enormous and revealed in her practice. She reads a lot of educational psychology to inform her practice as a teacher. I am a psychology student, but Emilie knows more about developmental psychology than I do! She is very dedicated to her activism on campus: she goes to every single conference and meeting related to education; she makes everyone feel included during debates and socials. Emilie is immensely intelligent and engaged in her work. She is one of the best philosophy students in her department at UCL. That does not surprise me at all. Emilie loves philosophy, and her critical thinking skills are impressive. Furthermore, I would like to add one thing that I believe is remarkable about Emilie. When I first met her, she immediately spotted some skin problems I have on my arms. They are an allergic reaction, but they look like burns. She was concerned that I might self-harm (burning myself), or someone might harm me. Her knowledge of safeguarding children and people, in general, is majestic. I am sure that she will be an outstanding tutor and teacher, thanks to her extensive encyclopedic knowledge in every subject, especially mental health and abuse.

I met Emilie the first time at a demonstration for free education. Not only was she part of it, but she was also actively participating as well as taking pictures and entering in political discussions about the issues around education in the UK. As a friend of Emilie, I can say that she is a dedicated and passionate person. She has a tremendous work ethic. There is no length she won't go to satisfy the needs of the people she cares about; that includes her students, friends, and co-workers. On top of that, she is friendly and very open-minded, which allows her to thrive in any working environment.

Not only was she part of it, but she was also actively participating as well as taking pictures and entering in political discussions about the issues around education in the UK. As a friend of Emilie, I can say that she is a dedicated and passionate person. She has a tremendous work ethic. There is no length she won't go to satisfy the needs of the people she cares about; that includes her students, friends, and co-workers. On top of that, she is friendly and very open-minded, which allows her to thrive in any working environment.

I have known Emilie since September 2012 in my capacity as a theatre/film teacher and filmmaker in Paris, France. She studied with me taking my theatre and film class. In class Emilie exhibited a depth of maturity and understanding of story and image that immediately allowed her to challenge herself and grow. She excelled at exploring the use of perception and thought to help make her films engaging and insightful for the audience. Emilie has a remarkable ability to draw the attention of individuals and make them connect to the world she’s creating. She’s always questioning and exploring how life in film and reality correlate and the power of images in shaping this reality. Emilie takes direction extremely well and is never afraid to attempt new things to find the truth in her work. She possesses a unique quality to provide a classroom with a sense of reassurance and balance. On numerous occasions she has provided guidance and understanding to a number of her classmates. Emilie has a high level of dedication that she applies to all assignments or projects she is involved in. Since graduating from Highschool and University, I have been able to watch Emilie’s growth and development professionally within the teacher world. She has continued to hone her skills as a creative educator and her ability to engage a classroom and her students. I believe she possesses the necessary foundations of character, intelligence and leadership to provide any classroom of private student the needed guidance and learning they desire. Emilie is a true asset to any project or program. She is a leader, thought provoking individual, a rarity and one of the best students I’ve ever had the privilege to teach. If her performance in the years that I have known her is any indication of how she would perform as your tutor, Emilie will be a positive influence to your academic career.

Emilie have been friends for 10 years. She was always a top student in high school and I still envy how organized she keeps her notes and revision “fiches”. She is very good at multitasking and teaching other people how to organize thoughts and ideas in a memorable fashion.

I know Emilie from regular reading and study groups on topics including philosophy, economics and politics. The most striking thing about participating in these groups with Emilie is the passion with which she pursues new ideas and knowledge, and with which she wants to communicate these things to other people.

I've known Emilie for three years. I just arrived in London, and she has helped me greatly with moving in and settling in as a student. She is so passionate about education. She has so much knowledge about education in general and educational psychology. I think that thanks to her devotion, she would make a fantastic teacher. She is very experienced and knows about every subject. She is so friendly and does not hesitate to proofread my essays or explain to me anything I don't understand.

Adelaide

I have studied with Emilie, and she has shown me a number of times that she is open to different views, opinions and thoughts, as long as they are generally respectful. That makes Emilie also a good and attentive listener, with plenty of empathy. Moreover, she is very fun and I could always have interesting conversations with her. I had moments when I asked her for help or to share her thoughts with me and she was always very generous. At times she helped me and my friends that she did not know, without even me asking. She is very committed to what she does and ambitious, which are characteristics that I very much admire in her. As I have experienced having worked as and having worked closely with educators for primary school, for a while, I can testify that Emilie has the qualities needed to support children in their studies. I believe she could contribute to spur the interest of a child in learning and finding its inner potential.

I recently had the pleasure of hearing Emilie lecture on philosophy. She explained the subject with a lot of clarity and she produced really useful handouts that broke a complicated subject down and made it very digestible. She broke it up with humour and managed to keep everyone's attention.

My rate is quite high compared to the average hourly price of EFL teaching in London. This is because I offer exceptional teaching. My aims are to:
-Promote a love of learning and your intellectual curiosity;
-Ensure that there are plenty of opportunities to actively explore in contexts that are meaningful to you and stimulate intrinsic motivation;
-Set provocations: to absorb your fascination, to witness and watch your focus and challenge so that exploration is genuine;
-Enable you to find their own voice and style, not simply imitate others;
-Find your preferred learning style: visual, auditory or kinaesthetic:
-Value your self-initiated activity by being available and interested;
-Help you acquire excellent written, speaking, writing and listening skills;
-Work along with your side as a more experienced learner modelling learning together;
-Extend learning by encouraging critical reflection;
-Offer constructive feedback and encouragement during an activity;
-Craft appropriate questions to encourage you to work to communicate your ideas for yourself and thus deepen your own commitment to learning;
-Give you the time to respond to my questions and comments.
