French lessons (tutoring, conversation, French as a foreign language, grammar, spelling, literature, essay course)

From 55.52 £ /h

A certified trainer, I offer tailor-made French lessons, that is to say according to the needs of each learner (conversation, grammar, written French, preparation for exams, etc.). I also give tutoring courses to pupils schooled in Switzerland.

During the first meeting with the learner, we set the learning objectives together. Over the lessons, I adapt the program according to the difficulties and specific requests of the learner. The tools I use promote independence. I give homework after each lesson and regularly provide reports on progress and areas for improvement.

In order to facilitate learning, I try to always speak French with the learner. In case of misunderstanding, I will gladly explain in English, German, Italian or Spanish.

Looking forward to reading you.

About Me

Passionate about languages, I have been giving private lessons in French, German and English for almost twenty years. In my opinion, learning languages is not only a way to open up to other cultures, but it is also a very effective activity to keep your brain in shape.

I constantly adapt my courses to the needs and demands of learners, whether they are children, adolescents or adults. The tools I use promote autonomy and creativity.

During the first lesson, the learner and I agree on the learning objectives and the rules of life in order to establish a climate of trust and benevolence. For better follow-up, I usually give homework after each lesson and write reports on the progress made.

Patient, dynamic and smiling, I train regularly to enrich my lessons. Having grown up and worked in the canton of Geneva, I know the Geneva school system and economic fabric very well. Finally, I welcome any constructive comments and suggestions from you.
