Online private French lessons - 11 years of experience

From 25 £ /h

I offer personalized courses according to the student needs (travelling, living abroad, etc.) I prepare for exams such as the DELPH. A typical lesson for an intermediate level consists mainly of speaking, and grammar is learned through repetition and natural acquisition. A summary of the lesson is given at the end of the course. I also recommend tools like movies or other podcasts. Online courses are usually done via google meet. I also have lessons on the phone or via WhatsApp. I accept all levels.

Swedish as a Foreign Language Course (Online), Beginners and Pre-Intermediate

33 £ /h

Originally from Geneva, teaching French and English for more than 10 years, teaching Swedish was added to my classes a few years ago. My passion for this language and its culture and my many years spent in this country studying it intensively made me decide to make it my main objective, teaching Swedish to French speakers wanting a first approach to the language.

The method is 100% personalized and depends on each person's objectives. Online or face-to-face lessons focus on speaking above all, interspersed with grammar points so that the student understands the structure of the language. Additional resources are also given to the student such as podcasts, exercises to do at home if desired, etc. The key to success is repetition.

Practice leads to perfection

Unless you learned to speak French when you were a child, it is difficult when you don't speak it fluently to pass for a French speaker. However, this does not prevent you from learning to speak it correctly, because it is well known that a language spoken with a foreign accent is an asset of seduction! Although it may seem complicated, learning a new language is always fun and beneficial, so it is important to practice as much as possible and above all not to give up. Take every opportunity you are given to speak the language and listen to French as soon as possible. And remember: practice leads to perfection!

The technology to improve your French. Classes with a certified native teacher.

Hello Bonjour!
I am a native French teacher and a graduate in French Philology since 2012. I have 10 years of experience in Belgium and abroad. I offer online classes using a method that I have developed over the years, specifically for online classes.

*My method:*
-During class we focus on speaking. Outside of class, I will send you exercises that I will correct every week (grammar, conjugation, writing...).
-I use a particular technique based on questions/answers to apply the grammar when speaking.
-I use the verbotonal method to correct pronunciation.
-You will also receive access to an application for your Smartphone (to learn the vocabulary).
-Use an interactive whiteboard.
-We will use a shared online notebook to correct your exercises and ask me your questions at any time of the day.

I offer preparation for official exams (DELF, DALF, TCF, EOI, FIDE in Switzerland...). Classes for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels. Preparation of conferences or talks for business people. Job interviews.

The class is a bit different when I work with children or teenagers. I use interactive websites and letters.

If you want a young, organized, dynamic and passionate teacher, call me or write me!

See you soon,
Laurie*

2021-2022:

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Hello,

A 27-year-old student at the University of Geneva, I offer my services for tutoring and French lessons.
I have had many opportunities to accompany French-speaking or allophone students. I was also a literature teacher for 2 years in a French high school abroad (college level) and gave private FLE lessons to diplomats abroad.
My most recent experience was teaching reading to people with residence permits in France.

My courses adapt to the needs of my students. I therefore always offer a free first meeting in order to assess needs and adapt methods as best as possible.

Do not hesitate to contact me for tailor-made courses!

As a French-German and trilingual student (French and German as native languages – English CEC C1), I offer tutoring and homework help for students from primary to secondary I and II (approximately 10 to 20 years old).
I provide support in all subjects, although French and languages are my specialty.

Having already completed several years of tutoring, I have a great capacity for adaptation, and above all, we will build the pace of the tutoring together according to your needs. Furthermore, my experience as an older sister has taught me how to create a reassuring and motivating environment for learning and education.

Each session is fully personalized:
• Review and explanation of concepts not understood,
• adapted exercises,
• Preparation for tests, assessments and exams
• homework help,
• Methodological support (work organization, memorization, writing, autonomy).

I place particular importance on a caring approach to help each student progress, strengthen their skills and gain confidence!

My name is Loïc, and I’m passionate about the French language. I hold a master’s degree in linguistics and the French language, and I hope to share my passion with you through my lessons. I have extensive experience in private tutoring and can help you achieve your goals quickly. Passionate about teaching French as a foreign language, I am currently studying for the DAEFLE certification to complement my technical skills with modern and advanced teaching methods.
My strong academic background allows me to fully understand the structure and richness of the language. I have also had the opportunity to provide private lessons, which has enabled me to develop skills tailored to learners’ specific needs, as well as a personalized approach.
Living abroad has given me an enriching intercultural perspective, allowing me to better understand the challenges faced by non-French-speaking students and to adapt my methods to facilitate their learning.
