    🥐 Bonjour Fluency: become bilingual following Alicia's method🌟

    🧀 Whether you're planning on moving to France, coming on holiday, or are just curious, look no further: you're in the right place!
    I’m offering you the chance to learn to speak useful and fluent French!
    ✅ Prior knowledge or not, it doesn't matter. My method is versatile as it is based on techniques instead of on rigid lesson plans.
    ⚠️ However, although tested and approved by many a learner and inspired by neuroscience, my method may require you to reassess your knowledge and question the way you learn. It is not rocket science, but it does require a real commitment and openness on your part.

    👉 Why me? 👈
    🎭 Because I'm a native speaker and I’m perfectly aware of the gap between the French you learn and the French we speak as I’m confronted with it every single day. That's why I make it a point of honour to teach you real French, and trust me or not, THIS will make a difference for you.
    🎁 Because I know that we are repeatedly told that French is a difficult language to learn, and to some extent there’s a bit of truth to this, and that’s precisely why I’m committed to breaking and boiling French down to make it easier and digestible to you.
    🔧 Because with my approach to teaching, you won’t just be learning French. You’ll learn how to learn effectively, which will give you greater independence as well as skills that you can use in a whole host of other areas/school subjects!

    💎 A glimpse into what you can expect:
    1️⃣ We'll have real life conversations together.
    Why? Because that's precisely how you'll both learn truly useful French and gain incredible confidence.
    2️⃣ We'll extract the vocabulary and the grammar you need from these conversations.
    3️⃣ We'll clarify these grammar points using active learning. In other words, you'll become the Sherlock Holmes of French!
    4️⃣ We'll practise this fresh knowledge using games and fun activities.
    📈 And between our lessons, I'll give you extra material to keep studying and applying what we’ve seen, in full autonomy, at your own pace.

    🎯 Problem? Solution!
    Having learnt 3 languages fluently, I know the frustration that their learning can cause! Even today, sometimes a word won’t come to my mind when I need it or I doubt about a grammar point! We can never know a language 100% and, what’s the worst that can happen? Being misunderstood? Taking refuge in English? Stammering? Being made fun of? Getting a bad grade? Missing out on a promotion?
    So, what are the “solutions” to avoid?
    ❌ Hiring a student will certainly allow you to pay less, but you’ll also make slower progress as you won’t benefit from years of experience and optimisation of private lessons.
    ❌ What’s more, learning through practising French is not the same as simply practising French, and it’s a fine nuance that you acquire with experience.
    ❌ Learning French by yourself is very limited as it is most likely going to lead you to either have a very poor pronunciation or to speak in an outmoded way... or both.
    ❌ Relying on speaking in English is hardly going to lead you somewhere, since the French are overall bad at it.
    ✅ That’s why I’m offering you my services : because I know the value of what I have to offer you ;)

    🏆 The results:
    Over all these years of private tuition, all of my students have gained confidence in their ability to communicate in French and have acquired solid knowledge that they can and do rely on when in doubt. In other words, they have become more autonomous and this has enabled them to space out or even stop our sessions altogether!

    📍 You too can benefit from my help and keep your professional horizons open by becoming independent in French! So don’t wait any longer: my method will help you make rapid progress... but only if you take the plunge😁

    📨 In any case, don’t hesitate to contact me, I’ll be happy to reply and organise our first lesson!
    À bientôt !

    About Me

    I'm a qualified and passionate language teacher! Since 2019, I've been teaching French, English and... Norwegian (yes, yes!).
    I've lived in France, in Norway, in the Netherlands and in Spain and I've also travelled to other countries. I love travelling, learning new languages and discovering other cultures, places and people.

    Obviously, that's what I studied for 6 years. I speak French, English, Norwegian, Spanish and I'm currently learning Italian.
    All this has taught me a lot about what is efficient and what isn't when it comes to learning a foreign language, and I thus been using this knowledge to teach successfully, for several years.
    Regarding English solely, I have so far been teaching around 400 hours, from Year 4/3rd grade to undergraduate level.

    Of all these languages, English has always been my heart language (I started learning it at nursery school!) and I've been practising it on a daily basis for many years :)

    Education

    I started with a Bachelor of Nordic Studies, specialising in Norwegian (at the Sorbonne), during which I spent my final year in the most northerly university in the world.
    Then, on my return to France, I took a 2nd year of Bachelor of English Studies (Université de Nanterre), before embarking on a Master 1 (Sorbonne) and 2 (Université de Poitiers) during which I learned what was to become a real passion: teaching languages :)

    Experience / Qualifications

    In 2019, I took my first step into teaching, going through well-known private tuition organisations. Then I ended up setting up my own business (Langualicia).
    In the meantime, I also did a work placement for a few months in a European secondary school in the Netherlands, where I taught French to a class of Year 7/Sixth graders. I also spent a school year in a secondary school in Andalusia, where I worked as a French teaching assistant.
    All great experiences, both professionally and personally :)
    Have you discovered Norway and fallen in love with it? Would you like to move to Norway in the near future? Maybe just to go back on vacation? Or simply discover more about the country and its culture? Good news, you've come to the right place! I agree with you, Norway is a fascinating country. My courses are aimed at beginners to intermediate levels. Here's what I offer: 🚀 If you're a beginner, don't be afraid, just go for it! Norwegian is not rocket science. I will quickly provide you with the basics you need to get by and have simple conversations. 🗣️ If you already have some knowledge, and especially if you have been learning Norwegian in a self-taught way (with apps for example), I'm here to help you organize, consolidate and expand your knowledge but also... to finally make you practice! In any case, we learn better when we are having a good time. So, forget the language lessons you may have had in your school years: I propose you to learn in a way that is as entertaining as can be, that's how we learn best (that's not just me saying it, it's science too!). Send me a message and I'll be happy to arrange our first online meeting. See you soon!
    ❌ Your English is rusty, or even completely gone, but you have decided to get back to it for real? Do you have English classes at school but you're not quite satisfied with it? Perhaps because you experience some difficulties or, on the contrary, because you love this language and are eager to learn more? Or, maybe you have a very specific goal: to do well on the TOEIC! 🎉 Look no further, you’ve come to the right place! 💎 After assessing your level, here is what we will do: 1️⃣ Have real conversations together. For what ? Because this is precisely how you will learn the English you really need and how you will gain a lot of self-confidence. 2️⃣ Extract from these conversations the vocabulary and grammar you need 3️⃣ Clarify these points using active learning. In other words, you will be the Sherlock Holmes of English! 4️⃣ Use this fresh knowledge in games and fun activities! 👉 Why me? 👈 🔓 Because being a non-native English speaker myself, I encountered the same difficulties as you. Not only do I perfectly understand the obstacles you face, but as a bonus, I know how to anticipate them and help you overcome them. 🕊️ Because I am well aware that (re)taking lessons after school, even years later, can be distressing and even bring back old and bad memories. On the contrary, I want you to have a pleasant time, in a relaxed and reassuring setting. 🔧 Because with my approach to teaching, you're not just going to learn English. You will learn to learn effectively, which will give you greater autonomy as well as know-how that can be used in many other areas! 📨 In any case, contact me and I will be happy to answer you and organize our first meeting. See you soon !

    Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
    For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

    Private online french lessons with an experienced native teacher

I have a 12-year teaching experience in China and France, face-to-face and online through Skype or other similar tools. I'm also a teacher in a business school here in Paris.You can check the comments that a few students of mine left here on my profile, to see that i'm a serious and competent teacher. I'm fluent in english and speak an intermediate chinese mandarin. I have all the materials necessary ready for you, self made PDF, audio files and much more. I always adapt my classes to the student's needs. We can focus on what's the most important to you. Contact me for any further information, I'm ready to discuss your goals and my teaching method with you so that you can make up your mind.

    Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
    Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

    French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
    French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.

    Group or One-to-One Online or In-Person Turkish, French and English Lessons
    🖐🏻 HI, SALUT, MERHABA! 🖐🏻 How are you doing? Comment allez-vous? Nasılsınız? Thanks for having a look at my profile! Here is the pathway we will follow in our lessons! We will start our lessons by learning the most basic skills such as correct pronunciation and simple grammar rules. We will continue to improve our speaking, listening and grammar levels by learning new informations step by step. Based on my 13 years of experience, I think that A1 level is a very important period in language learning. When learning any language, beginner level students should learn it in the correct order and important details should be explained well by practising previous ones. Students at more advanced levels, such as A2, B1 or above, also need to practice their skills at the previous level thoroughly to improve their language skills. I try to provide good teaching by paying attention to these important points in my lessons. I keep our lessons' notes in a word file. After our lessons, I send you back all the additional notes and exercises that we covered in our lesson as a Word file.
