Are you learning French ? ¿Aprendes el francés ? Lernst du Fransözisch ?

From 45 £ /h

Would you like to learn french in a relax but efficient way ? To be able quickly to have a conversation with French speaking colleagues or neighbors ? To enjoy French movies in their original version ? To express yourself fluently, using a language adequate to your environment ? To learn it efficiently without working on it 2 hours a day ?

My name is Zoé, and I can help you. But first, a little bit of context : I am not à French teacher, but a passionate language learner. I speak English, Spanish fluently, German decently, and I am currently learning Arabic.

Even though I had classes of English and German at school, those classes really allow me to reach the level I currently hold. And I never took a single Spanish class.

So, how did I do it ? With the help of many other passionate polyglots I used a lot of different tools and learnt a great deal about language learning.

How to make it fun ? How to make it efficient ? How to make it useful ? What doesn’t work ? What is a waste of time ? What is a good goal when learning a new language ? What can I expect from a new language ? I am far from having all the answers, but I have some important ones.

Extra information

What to expect when learning french with me ?

1. Unconventional ways of learning : a lot of conversations, from the beginning ; almost no english ; strange stories ; charades ; drawings. A lot of fun, I promise.

2. A completely personalized class : Even though there are a few things that you should learn in a certain order, we will adapt the content of classes to your current needs and desires.

3. The support of technology. A computer and internet can help a great deal when learning a language. I'll show you how to use those tools to help you in your language learning journey.

4. Fun and motivation. I am well placed to know that learning a language take time and dedication, and I'd expect that from you. But one of my roles will be to help you find the motivation and create the context to make that as easy as possible.

Classes can take place at your place or in an enjoyable public space (a café, a university,...).

I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELING AND I'LL NOT BE IN GENEVA UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. IF YOU WISH TO TAKE AN APPOINTMENT; PLEASE WRITE ME A MESSAGE, I'LL GET BACK TO YOU WHEN I COME BACK.

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*

My name is Nicolas, I am a French teacher and native speaker with 8 years of teaching experience.

My lessons are tailored to each student in order to achieve their personal goals and are adapted to their specific needs.

Practice is prioritised throughout the learning process in order to gain autonomy as quickly as possible. Grammar will also be covered, according to the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced learners (improvement, exam preparation: DELF, DALF, TCF);
- Professionals (business French, interview preparation).

As I am currently in Brazil, I am teaching my classes online. I will be back in Geneva in mid-December for face-to-face classes.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

I look forward to hearing from you :)

2021-2022:

This is why I would like to share my help in preparing you for these exams that you will have at the end of the year.

So I help with oral exams in French, German and English.

The aim of the course is to help you overcome your weaknesses in spelling, grammar and conjugation.
I will guide you in acquiring knowledge and help you apply the rules in your writing.
We therefore do practical exercises associated with the course to help you put what you have learned into practice.
This course is not an illiteracy course that would require enhanced support.

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.

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.

Academic success, even at the university level, is determined by the ability to understand and write different types of texts. I offer courses that will allow you to overcome the difficulties you encounter in reading or writing by giving you the text-writing toolkit that school, unfortunately, doesn't provide. I myself had to build this toolkit over the years at university, and I will gladly share it with you so that you can succeed.

Here are the different points that my offer covers:

READING
Guided reading
Effective reading strategies
Text theory (structure, function, typology...)
General knowledge
Communication Theory

PRODUCTION
Reformulation
Summary
Reading log
Accurate
Text analysis
Characterization
Interpretation
Text explanation
Text commentary
Dissertation Essay
Comment
Argumentation

You can take a full course with regular sessions or one-off courses to do specific work such as writing a reading summary.

Lessons can be taken individually or in groups. The methods are flexible to adapt to each individual case.

What matters to me in particular:

motivate my student and give him a learning pace;
encourage their creativity;
to awaken his curiosity;
to forge a friendship with the texts

During this first lesson, you can get a solid idea of my teaching style. I look forward to meeting you.

The French language is a big, scary beast, isn't it? I'm going to help you tame it so that it becomes your most faithful companion!

You want :
- to interact better with your colleagues
- to chat comfortably with strangers at the gym or in the store
- to feel more confident writing professional emails
- understand the references of French pop culture
- or simply to show off to other French learners with niche vocabulary and clear, precise pronunciation?

For :
- true beginners who start from scratch
- those who think they are beginners but just lack confidence in themselves
- the intermediate levels
- advanced levels

I am a true bilingual speaker (French is my native language and I hold a C2 level certification in English from Cambridge). I have been learning English since the age of 6, and several other languages since then (Italian, German, Japanese, and Thai). I studied literature, education, and information science.

I love teaching and I know from experience how difficult and intimidating it can be to learn a new language.

I use flexible methods tailored to your needs and learning preferences: I can teach you grammar to understand the structure of the language and/or engage you in fluent and natural conversations to improve your vocabulary, listening comprehension, and pronunciation. I will build bridges with what you already know in YOUR language(s).

I would love to share my love of languages with you in a way that truly suits you, so feel free to message me if you want more information.

I believe in playful learning, but make no mistake: I take your progress very seriously and I will work hard to achieve it.
