Hi everyone,
My name is Alexandre Applefield-Alvarez.
I was born in Paris, France, but my father is American and my mother is half German and half Cuban. I have a bachelor's degree in Sociology and Education and a Master's in International Public Management. I am trilingual and have lived and worked in French, English, and Spanish-speaking countries, and recently founded my own social enterprise in Colombia. I am passionate about social issues and understanding cultural differences to build a better world.Me as a Teacher
I have taught different topics (from science to languages, cooking and basketball) to different populations (children, teenagers, teachers, social workers, entrepreneurs, homeless people...). Teaching is about sharing experiences and understanding others. If there is a genuine curiosity for learning, the process gets really fun and easy!My lessons & teaching style
When I begin teaching to a new student, I make sure to understand their expectations in terms of method, pace, and results. Based on that, we define a plan together. As a general rule, I make sure to give my students a lot of freedom in terms of materials, so that they can read articles, watch videos or listen to audios about topics that they are passionate about. Language is a tool that will expand their world. It is a means, not the ends. My objective is for each student to be able to understand and communicate about what they really care about. Every person has their own learning style, and my job is to identify what works for them!My teaching material

Talking with Alex was great. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I will definitely be spending more time working with him!

Alexandre is great! Exactly what I was looking for in order to improve my speaking and comprehension. My initial plan was to do a bunch of trials and pick a teacher I liked, but the first lesson went so well I just continued on with Alexandre without doing the other trials. Thank you Alexandre and looking forward to continued lessons!

Prof très sympa. Alexandre donne envie de continuer à apprendre l'anglais. Pour une première leçon et pas la dernière c'était parfait. Merci.
