Fern Huguet
Formatrice spécialisée en anglais des affaires
Self employed since August 2009, I divide my time between in-house training in a law firm and an executive search consultancy, work with local small businesses and the School of Pharmacy in Chatenay Malabry where I teach English to students and staff.
I work mainly on communication skills, using podcasts and authentic texts where possible to improve comprehension. I deal with grammar through correction sheets, identifying the student's individual mistakes and encouraging them to become more autonomous in their learning.
Courses range from 5 to 10 hours to work on interview techniques, or prepare a presentation, to 20 or 40 hours to boost language capabilities.
My experience working with students of all levels and from various fields allows me to tailor my courses to each person's needs.
