French lessons. Text methodology. Commentary. Essay writing. 10 years of experience. Non-academic teaching.

I offer you a new learning experience. Academic success, even at the university level, is determined by the ability to understand and write different types of texts. I offer courses that will allow you to overcome the difficulties you encounter in reading or writing by giving you the text-writing toolkit that school, unfortunately, doesn't provide. I myself had to build this toolkit over the years at university, and I will gladly share it with you so that you can succeed. Here are the different points that my offer covers: READING Guided reading Effective reading strategies Text theory (structure, function, typology...) General knowledge Communication Theory PRODUCTION Reformulation Summary Reading log Accurate Text analysis Characterization Interpretation Text explanation Text commentary Dissertation Essay Comment Argumentation You can take a full course with regular sessions or one-off courses to do specific work such as writing a reading summary. Lessons can be taken individually or in groups. The methods are flexible to adapt to each individual case. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning pace; encourage their creativity; to awaken his curiosity; to forge a friendship with the texts During this first lesson, you can get a solid idea of my teaching style. I look forward to meeting you.

French lessons with a native speaker (Sorbonne & LSE): conversation, exam prep & homework help

French lessons with a native speaker (Sorbonne & LSE): conversation, exam prep & homework help

I'm a native French speaker from the South of France, currently studying for a Master's in Politics & Communication at the London School of Economics (LSE). Before coming to the UK, I spent two years in Hypokhâgne/Khâgne, France's most demanding preparatory program in literature and humanities, and was shortlisted for the entrance exams of the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, one of France's most selective institutions. I then studied History and English at La Sorbonne in Paris, followed by a Master's in Political Science at the University of St Andrews. Every lesson is built around your goal: -Conversation & fluency: relaxed, engaging discussions to help you speak natural, everyday French with confidence (adults and children) -Exam preparation: GCSE, A-level, IB, DELF/DALF, with structured lessons, practice exercises and mock oral exams -Writing skills: grammar, written expression, essay methodology -Homework help & school support: for pupils in British schools or French schools in London (Lycée Charles de Gaulle, etc.) I currently teach students with very different profiles, from young children learning through conversation and games to a teacher preparing for the DELF alongside her full-time job. I adapt the pace, the materials and the method to each person. Lessons online or in person in Chelsea, Kensington and the surrounding areas. Message me to tell me about your goals and we'll build a plan together!

Math , French, English , Science, Test preparation , Boost up class

Math , French, English , Science, Test preparation , Boost up class

I specialize in tutoring math, English , French and Science for school and the SAT exams. I have a very good teaching experience working with children and I got the chance to enhance my teaching skills during the pandemic when all educational institutions had to switch to online teaching. I successfully managed good discipline, good time management to assure completeness of syllabus and also fun loving class with good results at the end. I am confident about my abilities to make students love what they are being taught and be happy to join a class. The willingness and eagerness of joining a class is a two way traffic: both student and tutor must feel that eagerness and love to learn and teach. My own love for teaching creates a positive atmosphere that inspire students. I enjoy creating lesson plans that help students understand the subject . One of my strength as a teacher is my ability to establish strong relationships with my students. I believe that creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment is key to fostering student engagement and success. This class is for French beginners. I will start as simple as doing phonics and make you acquire the accent. In a globalized world, being able to speak a second or third language is something that offers people value for the rest of their lives. While there is a lot of evidence that says the younger a child learns, the better, children acquire pronunciation, accent, and grammar rules best. At the start , it will seem difficult or maybe impossible , but once you can onboard with me , after every lesson you will feel more confident. Class for Math , English and Science is basically for those attending primary school and sitting for SAT exams. A good start of preparing ,understanding and knowing where the child needs more support is very crucial. I assign simple homework to better understand their weakness and strengths and hereafter recommend handbooks as per their needs and we work together for better results.

Private French lessons: learn French with lessons and conversations! Experienced French teacher during the month of FEBRUARY 2025.

Private French lessons: learn French with lessons and conversations! Experienced French teacher during the month of FEBRUARY 2025.

2nd year Master of Literature student, experienced in private lessons and specialized in French lessons for middle school students. I will be in Guildford in FEBRUARY 2025. About my classes: I take a positive but rigorous approach to classes and personal work. When learning French, it is effective to alternate between classes and conversations to improve learning. I mainly help my students to pass their French baccalaureate, and being in England for a month I offer classes to learn the French language and why not a bit of French culture and literature if the students are interested. My classes therefore include: learning to write and speak in French, more "relaxed" conversations to become more fluent, help with French lessons taken at school, etc. About my experience: I have been teaching for 4 years, and I have had about fifteen students of all levels and in all classes. Do not hesitate to ask me for the parents' contact details if you need an outside opinion. Regarding my level of English, I have a Cambridge certificate that I obtained in high school, and I am now very fluent and perfectly able to understand native English speakers. About me: I spent three years in preparatory classes, so I have an effective working method that allows me to progress and demonstrate rigor in my studies. I am currently doing a Master's degree in Literature with a view to passing the agrégation. I am 22 years old and I am a positive and cheerful person by nature. My goal is to become a teacher, so these courses will be an enriching experience for me! About my services and rates: I tend to favor 2-hour sessions because they are more effective. My rates not only include the lessons, but also my availability to answer questions, correct written work, organize mock exams, etc. outside of these hours. In order to improve student monitoring, I provide regular reports to parents. I am happy to travel if you live near me. Otherwise, videoconferencing works very well. Do not hesitate to contact me for any further information :)

Help with Modern Languages dissertations (English, French, Spanish) including Linguistics (Theory and Applied)

Help with Modern Languages dissertations (English, French, Spanish) including Linguistics (Theory and Applied)

May and June 2026: In this course, you will learn a range of linguistic methods and learn the terms used for describing a specific aspect of language or phenomenon (lexis, morphemes, and 'telegraphic stage' to give a few examples). The course requires you to explore your own data using quantitative and qualitative analysis (eg: how frequently are slang phrases used? Are there new auxiliaries being created?). No historical linguistics or literature is involved, but language change or specific traits will be sampled via your own data collection (if this is what is demanded in your course). As many students need to present a "year abroad" dissertation at University level (3rd year in the UK of a Modern Languages or Linguistics Undergraduate course) I can help you to research and structure your year abroad work, both in English (Linguistics) and Romance languages (French, Italian, Spanish). The topics that have arisen from recent discussions with students relate to French Caribbean writing, Italian resistance and reprisals in Rome (Fosse Ardiatine), and Spanish Etica franquista in films (among others). I have supported dissertation and thesis students from 2005, as well as granting informal help while I was a postgraduate student of Linguistics at UCL (this includes Institute of Education, 2000-2005). In essence, I can offer help because I have gone through this requirement myself (Aix-en-Provence for French BA, Berlin for Linguistics). Former students have requested this support for: Italian, French, Spanish and Linguistics & Phonetics. Outcomes: BA MFL students have progressed to an MA after their final year of study, or attained Firsts at Cambridge (and proceeded to a career in the City). As summers are now a challenge, and the dissertations need to be in by September (at least in England) I can help you with both your writing, research and oral exam. The year abroad really comes to an end in August, the worst time to be thinking about writing and research. I cannot change the weather but can make your path to a good degree smoother.

“ Kevin is a genius, who is capable of breaking down complex concepts into manageable, useful bits. If you think of a really large basket of vegetables and fruits. You know all the nutrients are good for you, but it would be tedious to try to eat it all raw. But then, you get a juicer or blender or 'Nutribullet', and juice all those vegetables and fruits into a refreshing smoothie. You can then drink that smoothie as quickly or slowly as you wish, and still get all the necessary nutrients... That's what Kevin can do - he juices all the complex intricacies of the German language into something you can understand and digest. His methods are unconventional, but very helpful in laying a proper foundation for a successful language learning journey. Very highly recommended. ”

“ We had our very first lesson with Valentin yesterday and I have decided to continue developing my skills in French language together with him due to various reasons... First of all Valentin has all the required communication skills which makes him a desirable teacher together with his kind and friendly approach. Moreover from the very first session he started to build a structure on which we can work on together. He also seems to be a good observer who can detect and correct the mistakes I make as well as providing me the right knowledge in order to improve my French as we proceed together. I would recommend Valentin if you need assistance with learning French at any level. ”

“ Bonjour to the one's who are seeking for a French Language teacher on Apprentus, Likewise you, I have also gone through the process of finding a (good) teacher, and I also did read about two days long the reviews given to the teachers.
