Philippe

Hello, My name is Philippe. I grew in Paris, France from a French father who grew up in a city famous for a drink: Cognac. My mother grew up in Portugal and met my father in London while she was restoring paintings for a gallery. Finally, they ended up in Paris where they got 2 kids. I'm the second one. I studied in Paris Psychology and HR Management. Then worked in different fields: Recruitment, social services, NGO and now education. I had the opportunity to travel quite well with more than 30 countries visited and 6 where I've stayed at least 3 months. I'm actually living in Vietnam for more than 5 years where I teach both french and English. I'm interested in many topics such as travelling, cultures, food, art, architecture, IT, design, psychology, innovations... I know a bit Spanish (rusty but shouldn't be too bad) and have basic knowledge in Portuguese, Italian. Also a very limited vocabulary in Russian and Vietnamese. I have been teaching for more than 5 years in French and English. Both online and offline for kids and adults. I have a TESOL certificate to teach English, but found the training also very useful to develop a methodology to teach French. I worked by following a book, tailored lessons linked to specific demands, from conversation to grammar lessons. Naturally, it's easier to adapt to a specific demand when you teach face to face with just 1 student. Conversations, exercises, tests, games, audio files, books, visuals, videos, powerpoint...all can be used. to develop speaking, listening, writing and reading skills. Just tell me what you need and I'll adapt. Just book a trial lesson and we'll discuss your goals. From this, I'll suggest what we should do together. Then you'll make your choice. It's that simple :) Hope to see you soon. Philippe
