Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hi! Thank you for checking my profile. I am a polyglot, and a very experienced and intuitive language teacher and tutor. I am also a musician. I studied musicology in Brussels, and applied linguistics at UC Berkeley. I have also taken several useful workshops on dyslexia. I have taught French, ESL, Portuguese, and Spanish in renown language schools for adults during more than 15 years, such as the Alliance Française and the English Center, and have also taught in several private elementary and middle schools. I have taught and tutored at all levels (beginner to advanced), working with all ages, including seniors. After my career in the classroom, I devoted my professional life to private and semi-private tutoring, and have thoroughly enjoyed doing so for about 10 years. I have been tutoring via Zoom and Google Meet since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic. I am passionate about teaching, and having learned 5 languages, I am well aware of the challenges faced by foreign language students. I adapt my lessons to the specific needs, interests, and learning styles of my students. Many of my students have told me how they have greatly benefited from my techniques in accent reduction. I will help you acquire a good accent from your very first lesson, and I usually teach grammar in context. I am patient and flexible, and will put you at ease, working at your pace. I have a 24 hour cancelation policy and offer discount packages. Merci et à bientôt, Ingrid

I wanted to have a basic understanding of French for a trip to Belgium I would be taking in May to meet with my spouse’s friends and family. I am a complete beginner with no French language background. Ingrid is a very patient teacher who is adaptive to my personal learning process and in the few months I have worked with her I was able to grasp a basic understanding of the language. I will be continuing my lesson with Ingrid to keep the progress moving forward for our next visit abroad. James

Ingrid is a wonderful teacher. She has a very nice way of correcting accent and grammar that is positive. I felt very relaxed with Ingrid. Although I did not take lessons with her for all that long I do intend to continue with her when I resume!

Ingrid is a very intelligent woman and highly experienced teacher who speaks and teaches no less than four languages. She understands language in general to an exceptional degree. She puts language in context by using music and culture in her lessons, as well.

Mme Rombaut is an excellent tutor. In just a few weeks she took our daughter from barely being able to speak any French to genuine conversation. She is patient, kind, and gentle with a broad command of the french language. We highly recommend her.
