    French as a Second Language taught at GCSE or A Level level

    This class is for anyone interested in learning French from scratch or improving their current level. My aim is to provide my students with a strong foundation of the French language (grammar and vocabulary) but also a flavour of French culture. I assign homework every lesson and provide periodic progress reports. I tailor the lesson and homework content and the method of teaching to the student to make sure everyone has the chance to learn at their own pace. Ultimately though, I want my students to be able to comfortably chat in French and develop a love of this beautiful language.

    About Me

    - The value of learning a new language cannot be overstated. I know this from personal experience since I can speak, write and read fluently in four languages and I love to be able to communicate with people in their native language. It is because I know how amazing and transformative speaking several languages can be that I want to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with anyone open to learning a new language.
    - I am a strong believer that tailoring the content of a lesson is to the students' needs makes the learning process faster, more engaging and more fun. At the same time, learning a new language requires practice and discipline, which is why I assign homework that will help students improve their linguistic knowledge and abilities. Homework can take many forms from filling out activity sheets to watching short videos to be then discussed during lessons. Lastly, I recognise that learning a new language can be a challenge which is why patience on both my side, as the teacher, and on the students' side is necessary. I will always cheer my students on even when things might get difficult and only ask that my students be willing and eager to go through this process with me.

    Education

    I am originally from Romania where I attended a German school, German 'Goethe' Kollegium Bucharest. This is where I learnt German intensively from the age of seven onwards. My family and I moved to the UK in 2014 and I attended secondary school and college (high school) in England. I am now a student at Amsterdam University College (a Liberal art programme created by the Uva and the VU), where I want to major in the Social Sciences with a focus on Psychology.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have completed my GCSEs in French and German while in England and have received an A* for both exams. I did my French A Level in high school and have achieved an A.

    French Tutoring for Middle School or High School Students
    As a French native speaker, I can work with you on your French language class homework, and go through grammar, vocabulary, spelling, and anything you don't understand well. I have some general knowledge of French literature, so if your homework consists of more advanced tasks like analyzing a text or writing essays, that's something we can do too.

    French lessons + academic support / homework help for middle and high school
    I am perfectly bilingual Italian and French so I can give lessons for all levels. I am available for face-to-face (in Amsterdam) or remote lessons depending on your preference. The course develops according to the level and the needs (school studies in college or high school, work, etc.). For students, courses can be help with homework, remedial work, school monitoring. For adults rather exchanges and conversation. In relation to economics, I took the Economic and Social Science (SES) specialty in high school (18/20 at the baccalaureate) so I am able to give support courses for this subject to middle school students.

    French lessons or tutoring for elementary/high school students
    Born and raised in France but educated partly in Australia. I am very used to handling relationships with individuals from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My method is to structure courses in two halves: conversations on specific news, social or cultural topics with the help of videos, pictures or articles and then focusing on the main vocabulary or grammar issues faced. This method is particularly adapted for students who have had a first scholar basis in french but who have not practised for a long time and want to upgrade their level in a daily conversational context. Alternatively, for students learning French as a second language at school, I will gladly help with the homework and focus on the main difficulties.

    Learn French in an interactive and efficient way!
    Hello! I am French, born in Burgundy and I grew up between Burgundy and Paris. Experienced teacher, I gave many courses at the Alliance Française, embassies, companies, universities and private lessons. I propose you energetic courses and corresponding to your needs. Through theater training, I can help you develop your skills in this language in a very interactive way. In private lessons or via a webcam, you will be surprised at your progress! I can give you general or specialized French courses (professional, exam preparation ...) but still with a very specific purpose (visit to France, contact with a school ...). Do not hesitate to contact me.

    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.
