Experience / Qualifications

With over 8 years of experience as an ESL teacher and tutor, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages and backgrounds, helping them enhance their English language abilities. My teaching journey has taken me to diverse locations such as Seoul, South Korea, Madrid, Spain, and Australia, where I gained valuable insights into different cultures and teaching methodologies.

During my time in Seoul, I taught English as a Second Language to students of various age groups, ranging from young learners to adults. This experience allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by ESL learners and implement effective teaching strategies to address their specific needs.

In Madrid, I had the opportunity to work in a bilingual school, teaching English to students in the Primary and Intermediate levels. This experience honed my skills in creating engaging lesson plans, fostering a supportive learning environment, and promoting language development across different curriculum areas.

Upon relocating to Vancouver, I joined the West Vancouver school district, working as a primary and intermediate English and French teacher. Beyond my work in formal educational settings, I have also dedicated a significant portion of my career to one-on-one tutoring. Over the course of 8 years, I have worked closely with students of all ages, tailoring my teaching approach to meet their specific goals and learning styles. Whether it was helping young learners with basic language skills or assisting adults in advancing their English proficiency, I have always strived to create personalized learning experiences that foster growth and confidence.

Through my diverse experiences as an ESL teacher and tutor, I have developed a deep passion for empowering students to overcome language barriers and reach their full potential. My commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive learning environment, combined with my extensive expertise, allows me to guide students on their language learning journey with patience, empathy, and enthusiasm.

My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people.

I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress.

Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF:
- The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
- The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles.

If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !
