Giselle Schaeffer was born in Brazil and at 5 was raised in England for over 15 years. English was her first written language while she spoke Portuguese at home. Born from a Franco-German father she also quickly became fluent in French before moving there to study at l’Institut Supérieur du Tourisme, Paris.

Besides working as a teacher, she has always appreciated working in diverse areas such as banking, sales, marketing, design and tourism.

Being bilingual at a very early age allowed her to fully understand the difficulties and also logical similarities of the three languages in order to teach it to all three nationalities and when she had enough didactic and experience, she adapted it to her own methods and skills.

When introducing new challenges in life such as becoming fluent or learning a new language, she helps students and teachers understand firstly their difficulties before facing their priorities and opportunities. 

From a teacher’s perspective or students, she strongly believes that individualised instruction for adult learners is essential and where appropriate strategies must be chosen wisely since each student needs their own time to access, study and grasp complexity with creativity. Time management, Studying Skills, Technology and Coaching are all methods she uses accordingly to harvest bilingual citizens of the world. expression orale en anglais
