About Me

Liking to transmit my mother tongue and my knowledge, I pay a lot of attention to the needs of learners while guiding them with enthusiasm and curiosity to the infinite facets of this language and its culture. A language must be alive and shared !
My courses are therefore based on didactic methods, current authentic documents and the exchange of knowledge including inter-cultural.

We work on oral (oral production/conversation) as well as writing (systematic exercises/written production/written comprehension/dictation) as well as oral comprehension (news/reports/videos/radios/podcast/interview, etc.) all through immersive courses in French.

A share of regular work is therefore also required by the student (systematic exercises, learning by oneself, quest for vocabulary and definitions, productions, daily practice) in order to best promote their development in the acquisition of French.

Kindness is essential in my lessons, so don't be afraid to start learning French or improve it ! All in a good mood, I promise you will see your progress ! :)

If you are looking for a French language teacher, I highly recommend Cecile 😊 One of the best things about her teaching approach is that she customizes the method to the student’s particular learning needs. She starts by assessing your level, goals, and learning preferences and then designs the lessons based on this. Something else that I appreciate about Cecile is that she uses a wide array of teaching materials, not leaving space for boredom or an incomplete understanding of a topic. She incorporates texts, videos, audio, fun quizzes, and exercises from different sources and genres, covering various aspects of the French language and culture. She also encourages to practice comprehensively - speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in a balanced way. All in all, if you are after a comprehensive approach to learning and practicing French, this is the right tutor for you!
I have been a Cécile's French course student for a few years already. She is an absolutely excellent teacher. She has a passion for the language, and her deep knowledge of French makes her classes engaging and effective. She uses a combination of tools. She creates a welcoming and supportive learning environment, and her teaching style is fun and informative. I had some level of French before I started with Cécile, but I had big difficulties speaking and understanding natives. Now, it is so much better. I have learned a lot, not only about the French language but also about France. I highly recommend her, she is truly great!
Cécile is very professional, I totally recommend her.
Good first impression! Cécile listens to personal wishes and gives useful exercises.

Cécile is a very nice, positive and supportive teacher. It was a pleasure for me to study French with her, she managed to help me start talking since the beginning, and this is amazing.

Professional contemporary dancer and teacher in Pilates - Carpet from Stott School I give classes combining my practices and my pedagogy to give a time to yourself to listen to your body and better overcome its obstacles, its wounds and strengthen it! These sessions are for beginners who want to discover this practice as advanced to want to open to other approaches. I adapt to the needs of the learner. Structuring of the sessions: * Following a body analysis, a specific body attention will be brought to each one with Pilates exercises of muscular and skeletal reinforcements, tissue tone, flexibility taking into account the natural position of his body and injuries if there are in a. Emphasis on deep breathing to accompany each exercise! * Setting in motion by following lines of cardiovascular exercises, coordination, musicality. If there is interest on your part for this sequel and if the time of the session allows it. This allows an even more complete body work. It is with all the necessary attention, my kindness and a good mood that I will be your guide! Stop judging yourself and instead take care of yourself through movement, breathing because these are vital ;)

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual 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.

French private lessons: Language and communication [ONLINE]
I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish. I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice. During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps. And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level. Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

French GSCE - engaging French lessons to help students at GCSE level - are you struggling with the language, do you need revision classes?
I love the French language and want to help my students not only to understand but more importantly to enjoy this subject so they are confident and well prepared for GSCE exams. I connect easily with young people, therefore creating a comfortable and positive learning environment. This makes it easier for them to engage, ask questions, and feel more confident in our online sessions. I appreciate that every student learns differently so my tutoring sessions are customized to suit individual needs, strengths, and areas for improvement. My approach is to simplify - I break down complex grammar, vocabulary, and exam techniques into easy-to-understand segments, making learning French more approachable and enjoyable. My lessons are designed to be engaging, incorporating a variety of activities that help reinforce learning in a fun, interactive way, from conversational practice to exam-style questions. I’m dedicated to helping students achieve their target grades, with a track record of students improving their confidence and performance in French GCSE exams. (including my own 2 now grown-up children.) For my current students, I am working with the AQA French Higher textbook.

Quality courses in French and FLE, given with kindness, pedagogy and humor.
Hello everyone! My name is Amandine, I was born in France and will be delighted to help you learn the language of Molière, whatever your age, your country of residence, your current level and your goals. Having obtained my baccalaureate at 16, I started giving private lessons at the age of 14. Today, I have a very long and solid experience, particularly with children, although I also enjoy helping adults. My lessons and materials are fun and stimulating. As for my method: since I am convinced that everyone is unique in their needs, interests, reasoning and sensitivity, it simply consists of adapting to each of my students, to optimize their progress as well as their desire and pleasure to learn. To this end, I have had the chance to enrich my passion by supporting DYS or HPI children and I also have adapted course materials. The availability times on my schedule are informative and not exhaustive. I adapt as much as possible to the requirements of each person, as well as to the time difference for my future students outside France. I currently teach French cycle 2 & 3 to four boys (two sets of twins) who live in China. ;-) I look forward to helping you achieve your goals, do not hesitate to contact me!
