Personalised French Courses Taught by a Native Speaker

From 18.76 £ /h

I have been a French tutor for more than 2 years to students with all levels. I adapt to my student(s) objectives and personalize my lessons to their goals and interests. For example, I have had students take lessons because they want to visit a French speaking country, want to study for exams or to make their conversations sound more like a native speaker. Prior to each lesson, I prepare documents and exercises. I can teach grammar, vocabulary and reading but I mainly focus on conversational skills by making my classes interactive. My goal is that you learn French from a native and not from a classroom!

If the student wants, I can also assign homework after each lesson. I remain available for any question you may have!

A bientôt :)

About Me

Due to the fact that I grew up in several countries, I have been learning languages my whole life. I speak English, French, Spanish and I am currently learning Dutch. I have experience learning languages and know how important it is to have conversations with natives. My classes are interactive and engaging. Depending on your interests, I also adapt my lessons and exercises.

I am also a flexible tutor. If students prefer to schedule their lessons at the same time every week that is possible. However, if they want to schedule them two to three days in advance they can also get in contact with me to find a free slot.

Bonjour, enchanté ! I am a French native speaker and I would be extremely happy to help people learn it. Since I do not speak Dutch, the only thing you need is English (or French)!

If you have a beginner or intermediate level, this class is for you! During the class, we will go through your difficulties with French grammar, vocabulary, writing, reading, spelling, or pronunciation. The class can also be a simple conversation for you to keep practicing. For each class, I can prepare a certain amount of exercises - depending on the student's needs and the workload. These exercises will be corrected together and some more exercises can come out to master some rules.

Ideally, because of the COVID-19 situation, lessons would be online. However, if it is really necessary face-to-face meetings could be feasible!

To meet the socio-political challenges of our globalized 21st-century, you need two things: a) critical thinking and communication in English; c) general 'cultural awareness' of the world's competing ideologies. I will lead you to master both of these essential domains simultaneously, using expertise I have gained in England, Czechia, Peru, and Holland.

In our first session, we will draw up a tailor-made curriculum for your current goals and interests. For instance, I can quickly clear up the basic context for a difficult language & literature class you are taking. I can teach you the writing and analysis skills needed to excel at top universities in the Humanities or Political Science. And I can help you communicate well with international work partners from Eastern Europe, the Islamic World, or the Americas. Whatever obstacles you're facing, at any stage of your path as a global thinker and citizen, we will tackle them.
