About Virginia
I worked as an au pair in a French-speaking household for a couple of years, and that experience is honestly where my teaching journey properly started, helping the children with their homework most evenings after school. Three years into teaching more formally now, I've worked with about forty-five students, mostly children and teenagers who respond well to a relaxed, friendly approach rather than something overly formal. I'm still early in my own teaching career, and I say that honestly, since I think transparency matters more than pretending to be something I'm not just yet in this field. My real strength lies in genuine patience and a relaxed, non-intimidating teaching style, built directly from real experience with actual kids rather than theory alone. I connect particularly well with younger, shyer students, since that's exactly the age group I spent the most time with during my au pair years abroad. My teaching style is casual and warm, closer to an older sibling helping with homework than a strict, formal classroom teacher. Watching a nervous kid relax and actually start chatting confidently remains genuinely the best part of this whole thing for me. I'm building my experience one student at a time, and that honest, still-growing energy genuinely helps younger students feel comfortable.

I worked as an au pair for a couple of years in a French-speaking household, picking up teaching almost by accident from helping the kids with their homework every evening after school. My lessons stay pretty casual, honestly, closer to a friendly chat than a formal class, because that's genuinely the vibe that worked best with the kids I looked after there. We talk about everyday stuff, school, friends, hobbies, whatever a student's actually into that week, and vocabulary just comes up naturally along the way as we chat. I keep grammar explanations short and simple, nothing too technical, because overly detailed explanations always seemed to confuse the kids I worked with more than plain examples did. Games and quick activities fill a lot of lesson time, since sitting still through a purely academic lesson never worked brilliantly with younger students in my experience. I encourage a lot of speaking, even messy, imperfect speaking, because confidence mattered more than perfect grammar with every kid I ever worked with as an au pair. Mistakes get a laugh, not a correction lecture, since nobody learns well feeling embarrassed about trying their best in front of someone else. I'm still building my own teaching experience, and I'm upfront about that, but the casual approach works really well for younger learners.
