I was taught English, Russian and Mandarin. The only thing I remember from Mandarin classes is a song and a movie we watched in class. Learning a language shouldn't be so boring and painful. What I like to do is use a lot of different material to make this fun and entertaining (movies, songs, daily situations, games etc). My goal is first and foremost to encourage you to talk, then comes the vocabulary and finally grammar for those of you who are more advanced. I can also help you develop necessary skills to pass your exams. I met so many kids and all they had in common was their conviction that they were really bad at languages. None of them were. I promise at the end of our sessions you will be able to (at least) order a proper croissant.
Au revoir !
Bonjour ! Iâm a graduate student at Columbia University. I just completed a master 's degree in journalism at Sciences Po (Paris) and graduated with honors from King's College London. I had the opportunity to give lessons to children and teenagers for the past couple of years. Whatever your level, I promise this will be fun. (And nobody says 'Ouhlala' in French - first tip for free).

Astrid is a person of focus and dedication.
Curious, investigative, organised and bright, she is a leader and a person one would be lucky to be taught by. She will
go above and beyond her way to deliver on her work and will consistently deliver quality and brilliance.
She is also a great mentor and does not back down from a challenge. She is an inspiration and a role model in the making.
She will assist you in evey step of the way as she is reliable, trustworthy and intuitive. I often mention her to others for her strong will and intelligence.
If you need to set your grammar in order, Astrid is the person to call. She understands the structure of language and knows how to convey it from a very organized perspective.
Astrid is a serious and trustworthy teacher. She has been dedicated to mentoring for many years. Her lessons have proven great results and she gives them in a fun and entertaining way. I strongly recommend her !
