About<\/p>\n
<\/hr>\n<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

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<\/b> there. I continued my studies by obtaining two Cambridge University qualifications<\/b> to specialize in communicative English language teaching to adults and young learners.\u00a0\u00a0
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fresh out of university, I worked at an English language nursery and kindergarten immersing 2-5\u202fyear-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<\/b>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

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<\/b>. \u00a0
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the following years I worked with adults and business professionals of many different backgrounds in Budapest, New York City and Brussels.
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the last 6 years I had the opportunity to work in the European Parliament in Brussels as an executive assistant and speechwriter<\/b>. It was a very enriching experience to work in such a \u2018Babel\u2019 \u2013 like environment with 24 official languages spoken by 40 000 colleagues.\u00a0
\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

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