Stephanie Gardner

I'm a native English speaker and TEFL-certified teacher, based in the Pays de la Loire for the past five years.
I specialise in accent and pronunciation work, and my background as an actress has given me a strong vocal expertise that I bring to helping students with public speaking. I've helped hundreds of students gain the confidence to speak English, and have worked with companies including Vilmorin Mikado and Les Cafés de Théophraste.
My approach is inspired by the way we naturally learn our mother tongue: prioritising fluency and confidence above all else, and letting the language develop organically rather than through memorising rules.
Lessons are friendly and relaxed, built around conversation and topics that genuinely interest you — because we all learn better when we feel at ease.
Grammar and pronunciation are woven into our conversations naturally, rather than being the focus of the lesson. Mistakes are a normal part of the process and are corrected gently, just as vocabulary is built up gradually over time. Lessons are conducted mainly in English, but I also speak French and am happy to use it when you need support.
