Tutor Biography

My name is Emmanuelle Brochier, also known as Emma. I’m a native French teacher with 23 years of experience teaching French and English to children, teenagers, and adults from diverse backgrounds. Originally from Lens in northern France, I have lived in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. These experiences have deepened my understanding of cultural differences and the challenges of learning and communicating in another language.

My background includes French law, cognitive and clinical psychology, and educational science. I specialise in learning difficulties and learning disorders, adapting my teaching to each student’s needs, interests, pace, and way of learning. My lessons combine clear structure with flexibility, creating a supportive environment where students can ask questions, build confidence, and develop their skills.

I have also helped students prepare for the DELF, DALF, TEF, TEFAQ, FIDE, and AP French examinations. Whether someone is learning for everyday conversation, travel, school, or an exam, I design lessons around their goals. I enjoy bringing their interests into our conversations and remain curious about what I can learn from them, too.

Alongside my teaching, I am a psychoanalyst, hypnotherapist, and sophrologist, specialising in stress management, trauma, and narcissistic relationships. My approach considers each person’s history, relationships, emotional well-being, and individual circumstances. Listening, empathy, and respect for each person’s pace are central to my work.

I am a member of the Société de Psychanalyse Libre – Recherche sur la santé mentale, Paris 3. Across both teaching and therapeutic work, my aim is to help people better understand themselves, recognise their strengths, and move forward with greater confidence.
