About Shelby
"Living in Sydney while balancing a life of linguistics has been a rewarding path for 13 years. I often tell my students that language is not just a subject but a key to a different way of seeing the world. With my MA TESOL and BA Romance Languages from USyd, I provide a structured lens for studying French.
I work with working professionals, kids, and adults, adjusting my techniques to match their unique learning speed. My expertise covers accent and intonation, which I find vital for achieving true conversational fluency.
I am also comfortable teaching business French for those needing specific corporate vocabulary. Beyond the grammar, I emphasize cultural context because that is where the soul of the language lives. I find it very satisfying to see a student finally grasp a difficult pronunciation point after weeks of effort.
Providing a space where students feel comfortable to make mistakes is a core part of my work. It is truly enjoyable to watch that lightbulb moment when a student speaks their first full, natural sentence."

"Imagine the sound of authentic French vowels echoing in a quiet room while we refine your unique accent. I offer a diagnostic level test before we build the plan so we start from a position of clarity. This diagnostic stage helps us pin down exactly where your listening practice or reading comprehension needs the most attention.
I integrate cultural context into these lessons because language exists in the world, not just in textbooks. For my working professionals, we often use role play to simulate tricky meetings or interviews.
It provides a practical edge that helps you feel ready for any real life scenario. My 13 years of experience allows me to pivot quickly when a student hits a wall. We will reach your desired proficiency level together."
