About

I come from Toronto, Canada where I grew up in a bilingual family and a bustling, multinational environment. Later, we moved to Budapest in Hungary and I earned my English Linguistics and Teaching Masters Degree there. I continued my studies by obtaining two Cambridge University qualifications to specialize in communicative English language teaching to adults and young learners.    

Fresh out of university, I worked at an English language nursery and kindergarten immersing 2-5 year-old kids in the English language world through fun and games. It is a miracle to see these little sponges naturally and effortlessly absorb words, expressions, intonation with a native pronunciation

Based on my own bilingual background and working with kids this age, I am convinced that it is the gift of a lifetime to expose a child to a second/third language early on in their life.    

In the following years I worked with adults and business professionals of many different backgrounds in Budapest, New York City and Brussels.  

In the last 6 years I had the opportunity to work in the European Parliament in Brussels as an executive assistant and speechwriter. It was a very enriching experience to work in such a ‘Babel’ – like environment with 24 official languages spoken by 40 000 colleagues.   

However, I always knew that my heart was set on teaching. So now, here I am in Royan, I welcome you to English & you if you would like to learn, refresh or perfect your English skills.

I’ve been taking English classes with Ashley for a few months in order to train before taking one of the Cambridge University exams. I particularly appreciate her availability, her pedagogy, our exchanges and "homework" according to my level and the progress to be made. Ashley is able to provide clear and effective explanations of areas of concern. I am very happy to have met her and to take her English classes because she really helps me to project myself towards my goal.
