Teaching Approach

My approach is centred on the student. After a general levels and pronunciation assessment, I work with you to discover your most immediate priorities. We take it from there. If you are willing to make a longterm commitment, I will develop a longterm lesson plan strategy that focuses on your particular goals.

Improved my speach

Yes I recommend this teacher. She taught pronunciation, vocabulary, and detailedly. She gave many information documents which I could practice and read. Her classes were interesting. Every class and document was new to me. But she explained in detail, so I could understand fast and I started to speak English without any hesitation. She was friendly and helpful. She explained about new grammar and pronunciation. She tried to understand me as much as she could. Before I met her, my conversation used to stop and repeat a lot. After her lessons, I reduced my stumble speech.

Excellent teacher. Great outcome

I am an engineer with an executive role. I moved to Canada last year and I decided to improve my English to be more efficient in my meetings (I'm doing Zoom calls all day). Jeanette is an excellent coach: she set up a custom training program that fits my specific needs: better phonology, better time use and better clarity in my writing. We combined theoretical lessons and exercises / talk improvisation to ensure I was improving. What I really appreciate is Jeanette’s adaptability to what I need for my daily work. I often shared some presentations and emails from my work in advance, and she was correcting me and preparing the next lesson based on these real life examples. I am now more confident with my English and I am more productive at work. I highly recommend Jeanette.

Best English teacher I've ever met
4 years ago

I met Jeanette when I lost my confidence in my English after moving to Canada. English used by native speakers was different from English that I used to use with non-English native speakers at work and it made me timid and demotivated. At that time I was unsure if I was a right person to work here. Jeneatte's way of teaching English was different from other teachers in my home country. She was good at identifying what I needed to improve and she listened to my needs very carefully. She is a very passionate and professional teacher. Also, she is a very kind and nice person. The thing that I like most is her effort to prepare every class. She always prepares materials only for me and she spends a lot of time searching topics/articles that are relevant to my job or will be useful for me. I've taken about 40 classes so far and I got back my confidence. I've never been bored of her class over one year. I highly recommend her!

I took English class with Jeanette and will continue after an practice break. Jeanette is a very serious but friendly tutor also. I really had a good time during classes. My favorite one is the class with british tea time. We laught so much during courses. It was just amazing. As I am high level politician from my country, professor at university, she let me asked questions and explained my ideas and my opinion. She was listen and correct me with delicatess in regard of pronounciation and grammar which was our focus. I recommend my tutor and become friend Jeanette if you want to learn English in different way. See you soon dear Jeanette!

Professional & excellent teacher

I took English classes with Jeanette before taking an exam (TOEIC) and before going to Australia. It was for me very rewarding, and it helped me a lot to get ready ! As I am French, I had some difficulties with pronunciation and we focused on my weaknesses. Jeanette is a very attentive teacher, she always took in consideration my needs and my wishes. She prepared all the lessons rigorously and supplied all class materials. She made every classes sound different by bringing new topics which were very interesting and relevant. I enjoyed my classes a lot and I really had good time learning English ! I would definitely recommend.
