Private French lessons for 1 or 2 in the Antibes area

Learn real French, as spoken in the street, in shops or at work.

The lessons are based on actual communication in French. Imagine you met a French person who didn't speak or understand English, and you had to communicate... how would it go? maybe it would be difficult? especially at first?...

Thankfully I am used to this situation and have many techniques to overcome the difficulties of the language barrier:

1) I always use a whiteboard to illustrate my explanations. It may not seem like much but the use of pictures to illustrate an explanation makes it so much clearer! It also stimulates the imagination and increases students Pictionary skills.

2) A great deal of miming enters the communication. A student who wants to talk about his pet parakeet but doesn't know the French word "perruche" will have fun acting like a bird, imitating cage bars with his fingers, chirping merrily... When I finally understand what he is doing, I happily shout out the word PERRUCHE! as if I had just won a game. The student is happy he managed to make himself understood, and all the miming and effort will act as a powerful stimulant for his memory.

3) So in lessons we use miming, drawing, and also ... talking!! I love to teach students to use French words they already know in order to discover new French words. Students often know I'm bilingual so if they don't know a word, for example "beginning" in French, they will ask me "comment dit-on beginning en Français". So I look dumb and I ask them "C'est quoi BEGINNING? (What is BEGINNING?). And I always use a strong French accent on the English word to emphasise the fact I DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH!!
They often laugh at my reaction and search for ways to explain. Sometimes they have difficulties to explain, so I help them. Yesterday my eleven-year-old student was at a loss, but I showed him he could simply use the opposite « La Fin » (the end) to make me understand he is searching for « Le Début » (the beginning).

Lessons are lively, interactive and effective. A vous de jouer !

Awesome experience and very well tailored to just what I need to learn fast. Thanks Benoît!
My kids (9 and 12) totally loved their language lessons with Benoit. He has a very playful approach and they have been truly engaging with him. He can adapt quickly to the kids needs and could cater for both ages very well, he has a very relaxed, friendly and professional style. Highly recommend working with him.
Benoit does this really well. He is preparing our 17 year old son for the oral Abitur in French. We are excited. Our son is already looking forward to the next lesson.
Perfect. I am A1-A2 level adult student and I enjoyed my private lesson. Benoit explained me a lot of French pronunciation rules and helped me to improve my pronunciation.
Benoit was fantastic with my 8 year old daughter! She looked forward to her lessons with and learned a lot!
...
Singing and guitar lessons. For those who want to learn to sing and accompany themselves on the guitar or Ukulele - great fun! We start with simple rhythms and chords and take a beautiful trip into the world of song. We will be able to explore many landscapes: French songs, American folk songs, blues, Mexican, Chilean, Argentinean songs, ... We will work on relaxation, breathing and vocal ease amongst other things. The lessons bring feelings of well being and release. I have studied several years at the Conservatoire and I sing in various projects around Nice: Choeur 1732, Opus Opéra etc. I have also given lessons in music schools and conservatoires. I grew up in England and also give English lessons. I can therefore help with English pronunciation. 

Qualified and experienced teacher, I give English lessons “face to face” or in groups of 2 to 6 people I am perfectly bilingual, having been educated for 10 years in England in Reading near London in a traditional English school. Diplomas: Bac + 5: Engineer from the Purpan School of Engineering Cambridge IGCSE, SKILL TOEFL TOEIC (990/990) BAFA (Brevet of Aptitude for Facilitator Functions) Use an excellent teaching method based on all communication. Memory is constantly stimulated thanks to images, associations of ideas, the use of exciting contexts... This method works very well for all ages and all levels. I have 7 years of teaching experience at all levels, academic support, refresher training, oral coaching, travel preparation. I also hold the BAFA (Brevet d'Aptitude aux Functions d'Animateur) and teach children in a fun and adapted way, using games, songs, plastic activities, so that they quickly become comfortable, and happy to speak English! The ++ Clear and effective explanations with a white table with visual support, at home An interest for multiple subjects allowing for various and interesting connections (travel, languages, culture, technology, sports, ...) Utilization of support and ideal methods (essential grammar in use, vocabulary builder) Use of board games, music and theater, particularly appreciated by children A good cup of tea (or coffee) Group courses: minimum of two people. Travel costs may be requested for home lessons. Do not hesitate to call me for more information Benoit 3 good tips to learn a language 1) Listen a lot This is essential. And easy, for English. You can watch movies or series, subtitles in French at first then in English when you are more comfortable. You can listen to the songs in the lyrics ("lyrics" in English). 2) Many speakers Also essential, find a teacher who has a good conversation, or a friend, college... Speak even if you lack vocabulary. Mime the missing words, draw, make yourself understood at your level. 3) Read simple things Books for children can be a wonderful tool of progress. Roald Dahl's books for example (Fantastic Mr Fox, Charly and the Chocolate Factory...) the series "the worst witch" by Jill Murphy. Comics too.

Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
