French lessons: conversations, grammar, reading

From 31 £ /h

I lived for almost 15 years in Paris (in a French family) and defended my doctoral thesis in philology and literature at the Sorbonne University.
French became my first professional language and second native language.

Passionate about the French language, I would like to share my experiences and teach you this beautiful language:
- communication for daily life,
- corrections of articles in French,
- immersion in literature,
- lots of other learning methods...

I always adapt to your interests and goals!

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!

Recently graduated with a bachelor's degree from Pole Superieur Conservatory of Paris and Sorbonne University, I would like to teach French to foreigners (especially those whose native language is Albanian or English), living or working in Paris. I also have a DELF diploma in the French language (the one recognized by the state to study in any French university).
My goal is to keep students challenged and progressing while their living in the country.
I assign homework after every session and provide periodic progress reports.
I can teach from English or Albanian towards French

➤ Learn French with a successful technique: the main objective is to acquire bases or improve your level in French (written & oral: pronunciation, comprehension, language construction, communication, conjugation, grammar & vocabulary). It is also to understand the cultural specificities of Switzerland & France.

Hello to all of you!
I welcome you to my profile.
You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French.
Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning.
Hence my presence on this site.
My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French.
To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges.
I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere!
You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours.
This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible!
It's all in your favor!
Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.

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.

I teach French as a foreign language to non-native speakers. FLE

Also French courses for literate people who need a refresher course.

I also teach illiterate people who have never been to school.

Coline

I support primary and secondary school students in all main subjects: French, mathematics, history-geography, science and English.

My method is structured in three stages: precise identification of gaps in knowledge, creation of personalized summary sheets, and then validation through targeted exercises and mock exams. The goal is for the student to leave with a study method they can use independently, not just answers for the next assignment.

I adapt to each student's pace and personality. Some need to review the basics, others need to gain confidence. I always start from where the student is.

In-person classes in Geneva or via video conference.

Is your child preparing for the French brevet or baccalaureate exams and needs method, regularity and self-confidence?

I offer personalized support in French, adapted to the level and objectives of each student: consolidation of the basics, methodology, preparation for written and oral exams, but also work on building confidence in speaking and writing.

A graduate of Sorbonne University and currently a doctoral candidate at EHESS in Arts and Languages, I have been mentoring students for several years and am also a writer and writing workshop facilitator. This dual approach, both academic and creative, allows me to combine rigor with a love of reading and literature.

What I propose:

- Methodology of commentary, essay, and oral presentation
- Strengthening of basic expression and comprehension skills
- Targeted preparation for the brevet and baccalaureate exams
- Work on building confidence and fluency in public speaking
- Writing workshops to unleash expression and improve fluency

Observed results:
Students progress rapidly, gain autonomy, gain confidence in their abilities and sustainably improve their relationship with French, both written and spoken.

Each course is tailored to the student's profile, with a clear, structured and motivating approach.

My goal is simple: to help each student progress and regain confidence.

The lessons are clear, dynamic, and tailored to the student's level. We work on methodology, text comprehension, and written and oral expression, without unnecessary pressure. The result: better grades, but above all, greater confidence and less stress when facing exams.

Specifically, during classes:

exchanges and practical exercises,

an effective method for the brevet and the baccalaureate;

regular training (commentary, essay, oral presentation);

simple and useful tips to save time and avoid pitfalls;

personalized, serious and caring support.

I offer an interactive method, tailored to your needs. We will progress according to your level. Do you want to improve your speaking skills? I offer role-playing exercises.
Do you want to feel more confident in your conversations at work or at the café? We'll simulate conversations in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. If you'd prefer to focus on specific areas of weakness, such as grammar or conjugation, we'll review the essential rules of the French language together.
