Private French teacher for foreign adults

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
With a BAC in Literature and a BTS in executive secretarial studies, I worked for over 30 years in large international groups, as a secretary and then as an accounting manager.

I have trained many interns, some of whom were not French-speaking.

At the end of 2023, I gave online French lessons to an English speaker and helped her in her job search (CV, cover letters and professional interviews).

I will be happy to help any non-French speaking person improve their spoken and written French in their professional or personal integration in France.

My method: training with oral conversations and written exercises with corrections and explanations if necessary.

My goal is to make you love French and for you to become independent by learning to correct yourself.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
With a Literary BAC and a BTS in Executive Secretarial Studies, having worked as a Secretary and Accounting Manager for 30 years, I have trained many interns and I am passionate about the French Language (I am considering taking a Voltaire certification).

I can help students improve their French, self-correct spelling and grammar, and make them love this beautiful language.

For six months, I had the pleasure of helping a young English-speaking woman in her job search by helping her write her CV, her cover letters and preparing her for her professional interviews.

I can also help you in your job search in France or support you in your professional integration within a French team.

Mathieu
Private (online) french lessons with an experienced native teacher in Shanghai.
Hi everyone, I'm Mathieu, 40 years old, from Paris, France. I'm a full-time professional french teacher. I lived in Shanghai for more than 5 years where I used to teach in french companies and language institutes. Now, I mainly teach private classes as a freelance, one to one. 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.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
