Hello !
I am offering French lessons for students and adults. Classes are open to all levels if the student is fluent in English.
I have experience tutoring all levels both for academic and casual purposes. Depending on your goals, we can decide to work on a conversational French or more exam-based practice.

I am a French native with an excellent academic record oriented towards literature and humanities (Baccalaureate Literary honors - Good Social Anthropology honors).

Do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!
See you soon,
Michelle


Hello!
I propose French courses for students and adults. My classes are open at all levels if participants speak English fluently or from the French B1 level if French is the only common language.
I have experience as a French tutor for school support but also for those learning language by leisure. Depending on your goals, we can decide together to focus on an oral practice of the language or on the preparation of exams.

I am a native speaker with an excellent academic background oriented towards literature and human sciences (Baccalaureate Literary honors - Good Social Anthropology honors).

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.
See you soon,
Michelle

About Me
I have freshly moved to Istanbul and would love to make good use of my time and help you with your French!
I am originally from Brittany (Bretagne, France) but I have lived in New-Zeland, United-Kingdom and Germany. As you can see I love travelling, so taking lessons together could also be a good time to learn about our respective cultures.
I am also open to meeting up out of lessons to get to know people around the city, so don't hesitate to get in touch !

Teacher of French as a Foreign Language and Literature – Over 25 years of experience
As a teacher of French as a Foreign Language (FLE) and French literature for over 25 years, I offer personalized courses, adapted to the needs, level and objectives of each learner, from child to adult.
My teaching experience allows me to support students in various contexts and with all French as a Foreign Language (FLE) methods and teaching materials. I easily adapt to the textbooks used by the student, their school or university curriculum, and also to their specific needs when they wish to progress in a more targeted way.
French as a Foreign Language Course
The aim of French as a Foreign Language (FLE) courses is to enable the learner to make concrete and lasting progress in the four skills:
oral comprehension
reading comprehension
oral expression
written expression.
Particular attention is paid to communication, pronunciation, vocabulary enrichment, grammar and mastery of the structures of the French language.
Each course is designed according to the student's level and objectives: refresher course, academic progress, improvement, general French, academic French, exam preparation or improvement of oral and written expression.
📖 French Literature Course
As I am also a literature teacher, I offer French literature courses at all levels.
These courses may cover the study of works, literary movements, authors and genres, but also methodology: text analysis, commentary, essay, text explanation, argumentation and exam preparation.
The objective is to develop in the student a genuine ability to understand, analyze, interpret and argue, while enriching their vocabulary and literary culture.
Preparation for the DELF and DALF exams
I have been a DELF/DALF examiner-marker for 13 years, with accreditation covering levels A1 to C2.
This experience allows me to prepare candidates by knowing precisely the expectations, evaluation criteria and requirements of the different tests.
I offer specific exam preparation:
DELF A1, A2, B1 and B2;
DALF C1 and C2;
training for written and oral exams;
exam simulations;
correction and detailed analysis of the productions;
work on recurring errors;
vocabulary enrichment and improved expression;
Tips and strategies for better managing time and the different stages of the test.
Thanks to my 13 years of experience as an examiner-marker, I can also help the candidate understand precisely what is expected during the exam and identify the points they need to improve as a priority.
My candidates' success rate: 100%.
Personalized support
My approach is based primarily on personalized, supportive, and demanding teaching. I believe that each learner has their own pace, their own difficulties, and their own objectives.
Before starting, I identify the student's needs and level in order to create a tailored support program. The lessons are then regularly adjusted according to their progress.
Whether you wish to learn French, improve your level, prepare for an exam, strengthen your oral or written expression, succeed in the DELF/DALF or deepen your knowledge of French literature, I will support you with over 25 years of teaching experience.
My goal: to enable you to progress, gain confidence in French and achieve your goals with a method adapted to your profile.
