Welcome to Pamela's for English classes.
I am a retired teacher, having worked all over the world for 40 years teaching English and French, from beginner to advanced level.
I live alone. I have welcomed many residential language learners to my home in the UK and in France. I enjoy welcoming people from many countries.
If a couple comes together and they want joint classes, that is fine if they are at the same level - an assessment / evaluation test will be set at the beginning of each course. If only one member of the couple wishes to have classes, that is OK as well. If a parent accompanies a child who is having classes, it is preferable that the child attends the classes alone. My flat is in the center of Perpignan, therefore easy walking distance to shops, cafes, and restaurants. I accept students from 15 years old.
The price includes 1 hour of English classes 1:1 per day from Monday to Friday. Total 5 hours. If the student requires more classes, e.g., 2 or 3 hours per day for exam preparation, at €20 per hour, this can be discussed at the time of booking.
After breakfast, we can also do language/conversation classes, English immersion classes for 1 hour per morning, if you wish, either conversation or grammar, holiday English, business English, studying the topic of your choice.
I can offer more classes each day, e.g., 2 hours or 3 hours per day (with extra payment €20 per hour) for exam preparation, e.g., Baccalaureate, Prepa English, Cambridge exams, First Certificate, Proficiency, etc., and training for IELTS exam, prior to entering University in the UK, Australia, NZ, or Canada. Also IBDP International Baccalaureate Diploma exam preparation.
Lunch will be light, salad, soup, or sandwich then in the afternoons, a trip or outing can be arranged.
There are many places to visit in the area, as Perpignan is near the Mediterranean Sea, trips to the coast e.g., Argeles, Le Barcares, Port Vendres, or Collioure are all popular.
There are many seafood restaurants on the coast and Leucate is one of the most famous oyster areas in SW France, is nearby.
Other towns to visit are Prades, with its local market and the Pablo Casals Music Festival last week in July and first in August is extremely popular featuring world-class musicians. Ceret is 30 minutes away with its Art Museum, Saturday market with local produce, and Pyrenees views. Picasso lived in Ceret and many of his ceramics are in the Art Museum. Ceret holds various festivals, including a huge Sardanes festival every year.
Carcassonne is stunning with its castle and old city, with its annual music festival featuring world-famous artists and musicians. It’s definitely worth a visit.
Spain is 30 minutes away. There are many interesting locations and historic sites nearby worth a visit.
Plus the Pyrenees are nearby for hiking, climbing, and skiing enthusiasts.
Evening dinner can be at home using fresh local ingredients or in a local restaurant.
Pamela est très accueillante, on se sent chez elle comme à la maison. Elle est très attentionnée . Son appartement est situé dans le centre ville de Perpignan. Elle ne vous parle qu’en anglais et vous faites bénéficier de son expérience de professeur. Ce que j’ai aimé c’est l’alternance des cours et de nos conversations. Elle m’a donné de nombreuses conseils et toujours dans la bonne humeur. C’est une hôte exceptionnelle. J’ai vraiment amélioré mon niveau de compréhension.
