Student giving French lessons for all levels

Hello,
I am currently a student of Educational Sciences at the University of Geneva. I have been teaching for 7 years. I have supported students of different levels and with diverse objectives. In addition, I have prepared students for exams including the Leaving Certificate as well as the cantonal benchmark exams. I can adapt to each individual by preparing course materials according to your needs and objectives.

About Me

Having studied at the University of Geneva in the Faculty of Education, I am currently completing the FSEA certificate program to become an adult education instructor. For the past seven years, I have been teaching French to help students fill in the gaps in their knowledge, and I also help them prepare for exams (the end-of-studies certificate and the ECR). I also attended a school specializing in tutoring, so I have developed a specific teaching approach there. I am available to teach all levels, from beginner to advanced. My teaching method involves adapting each lesson to your learning style, needs, and objectives.

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

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 young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

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.

After a meeting where we talk about your needs and wishes, I provide you a personal program based on your needs, goals, strengths & skills to learn better, easier, and faster. It's the same with children because they first need to develop confidence to trust their own skills.

After an interview where we discuss your needs and wishes, I propose a program based on your needs, objectives, strengths and skills to allow you to learn easily, easily, quickly.

I offer French lessons for non-French speakers who would like to make progress in the French language in writing and/or speaking.

This can be helpful in feeling more comfortable in your daily, social and work life.

I am native French and I am converting to a Master I FLE (French as a Foreign Language) to teach French to foreign people.

I am a person who likes to travel so I can also use English if necessary during my lessons to better explain certain rules.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, see you soon!!

I adapt my method to each student's pace, with great patience. The goal is for the student to truly understand, not just memorize.

What I Offer:
Academic Support: Help with school homework, gymnastics/maturité prep, or UNIL/EPFL university assignments.

Exam Preparation: Focused training for Cambridge (PET, FCE, CAE), IELTS, or TOEFL exams.

Conversation & Fluency: Boosting your confidence, perfecting your pronunciation, and expanding your vocabulary.

Business & Professional English: Interview prep, resume polishing, and professional presentation skills.

My Teaching Approach:
- No two students are the same. I tailor every single lesson to your specific pace, interests, and goals. I focus on creating a supportive, interactive environment where you feel completely comfortable making mistakes and growing your confidence.

Lessons can take place online, at the UNIL campus, or at a convenient location in Lausanne. Feel free to send me a message to discuss your goals. Let's make learning English enjoyable and stress-free!
