*English Below*

For all levels, for children and adults, as well as preparation for diplomas.
All aspects of the language will be targeted during the lessons, with emphasis on those desired by the student (e.g. conversational, grammar)

Depending on the level, the study method will be adapted to each student, with extracurricular support. Classes will be held in English, French, or both, again depending on the student's needs and level.
Courses focused on language practice can also be organized, focusing on specific topics that interest the student, will allow the student not to lose his knowledge of the language and to further develop his knowledge of the vocabulary in the specific desired area.

Regarding the preparation of diplomas, the courses will cover the specificities of the tests (timing, response format, vocabulary, etc.).

//

For all levels, for both children and adults and diploma preparation.
All aspects of the language would be targeted during the lessons, emphasizing those desired by the student (e.g. conversational, grammar)

Depending on the level, the method of study will be adapted to each student, with outside-of-class follow-up. The classes will be conducted in either English, French, or both, once again depending on the needs and the level of the student.

Classes focused on the maintenance of the language can also be organized, focused on specific topics that the student is interested in, will allow the student not to lose the language and to develop further their knowledge of lexicon in the specific area.

In what concerns diploma preparation, the lessons will focus on the specificities of tests (timing, response format, lexicon, etc).

I am a native English speaker and have six years' experience teaching English to adults and children (read my reviews below). I received my Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Adults from International House in 2008. I am offering lessons to adults and children that will improve your grammar, vocabulary and speaking. I provide all the materials for the lesson and tailor the lesson to your needs. I can do lessons via webcam and can email you materials for the lesson. (webcam lessons price negotiable)
In Paris I taught one to one Business English classes with 'Linguarama' and in Morocco I taught English at two universities and to children, teenagers and adults at a language school. In Dublin I taught with the globally recognised school, Education First (EF) and in Belgium and Greece I gave one to one classes.

English tutor offering you effective communicative language classes, including ESP and exams preparation.

I focus greatly on motivating students and adapting teaching techniques according to each student's learning style, to ensure maximum potential of language acquisition.

Each lesson is structured as introductory of new topics and performing results through understanding as effective listening, reading and writing and plenty of focus on speaking to establish a firm foundation of each topic, building on each to provide learning fluidity and confident performance.

Tailored exercises and homework are to be set and these are to be touched upon at the start of each lesson. Reinforcement and continuity are implemented. I take into account students' interests and meta requirements as part of lessons plans.

Currently studying political science in Lille, I want to find a job using my achievements of high school according to the method taught in preparatory class for examinations of IEP.

The pupil is initially aware of his difficulties and misunderstanding. Then, tasks and recitations are realized to improve the level of the student in the subject.

The principle is to fill the gaps of the student according to a logic of interaction with the teacher. To avoid getting close to formal schooling, visual aids can be used. The student may also be encouraged to write lesson cards and to synthesize the course given by the high school teacher.

Hello,

I'm English and currently living in Marseille for a couple of months in order to learn some French. I'm probably an intermediate French speaker - 5 years at school and 6 weeks of intensive classes here in Marseille.

I have no teaching qualifications but do hold a First Class Law Degree from the University of Bristol. I'm happy to just chat in English and correct any mistakes or use a more formal structure.

Thanks

Bonjour,

Je suis anglais et actuellement vivant à Marseille pour apprendre le français. J'ai un niveau intermédiaire de le français (probablement) - 5 ans à l'école et 6 semaines de cours ici à Marseille.

Je n'ai aucune qualification d'enseignement mais j'ai un diplôme en droit de première classe de l'University de Bristol. Je serais très content de pouvoir t'apprendre l'anglais, en utilisant une structure informelle ou formelle.

Merci

You will learn Spanish and / or English in a dynamic way with exercises that promote the learning of the language to use it in everyday life as well as in a more formal or even specific setting. My goal is that you can use the language to communicate fluently and enjoy it.

To do this, I use non-formal education methods, these are activities that make it possible to implement the knowledge already acquired of the language and to improve and deepen its level, but also to formal education by explaining grammar or dispelling doubts in order to teach them to express themselves well in writing and orally in formal or informal situations.

In summary, the student will learn grammar and pronunciation through conversations and games.

In addition, the courses will be adapted to the needs and requirements of the student. I offer online courses with multiple digital tools or face-to-face at the student's home if possible.

Do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to answer you.

Hello! My name is Kate and I am an Australian who is has been living in France since 2019. I am fluent in French and English is obviously my native language.

My educational background: I hold a Masters of Art Therapy from The University of Paris with a major in music therapy, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with majors in Music and Psychology, and a Diploma of Languages with a major in French from The University of Queensland, Australia.

As a native English speaker my goal is to instill confidence in my students (of all ages) of their ability to speak, use, and understand English. I use a variety of interactive methods including songs, actions, rhymes, books, and music. I am firm believer in 'trying' and as such I will encourage my students to use their English, regardless of how many faults they may make. It is only from making errors, that we can improve! Additionally, I am happy to work on assignments, test preparation, or any other English homework which may need completing. I can provide homework, or extension tasks as required.

My lessons are largely immersion based, and as such I will avoid the use of French, unless an explanation is needed for clarity. I am happy to adapt to the needs of my students.

I have been teaching English in France since 2019. Prior to arriving in France, I tutored for over two years in Australia, aiding students from ages 8 to 17 with a variety of subjects including English, maths, science, music, and french. I have extensive experience with children: I have been a scout leader since 2020 in Marseille, and have been involved with Girl Guides Australia since I was 7 years old, eventually leading a group of 10-17 year olds for over 4 years before arriving to France.

I am located near Metro Prado, but can travel throughout Marseille. Depending on distance, travel costs may be in addition to class fees.

I have a valid working with children background check in Australia, and hold first aid qualifications in France (PSC1).

The method that we will follow for the lessons will depend on the needs of the student that we will define during our first interview. We can proceed either by oral interviews with the deepening of grammar, vocabulary and conjugation or by written exercises of comprehension of texts and deepening of grammar, vocabulary and conjugation in writing by the dictation and reading of texts. For those who wish to learn with these two methods we can divide the course with half written and half oral.

Spanish and French are my mother tongues and for English I have a very advanced C1 level. I taught diving courses in English, French and Spanish for 3 years abroad. In addition, I have just returned from a year of exchange through the ERASMUS program in Dublin, Ireland.

We will also practice pronunciation.

I am a TEFL -qualified native english speaker who has lived all over the world. I have a lot of experience learning new languages throughout my life including Dutch, Mandarin & now French. This means that I can empathise with anybody starting the process of learning English as a foreign language. I have tutored students in English and other subjects from primary school to university level. I have always found that the easiest way to learn something is to enjoy it! And so I always try to make my lessons relaxed and fun :)

Specialist in foreign languages (English and Spanish), I give courses at all levels as well as tutoring, in a fun form to avoid dropping out. I determine the points to be worked on after an evaluation course and adapt the supports to the needs and requests of the student.

Spanish is a beautiful and very useful language for the French population due to the proximity of both countries.
There is no better way to learn it than through a native person with whom you can have conversations in Spanish for all levels and with a great capacity to teach grammar, vocabulary, spelling and any other discipline that is required. The course is personalized and fully adapted to each student.

A Marseille-based graduate of International Security from Sciences Po Paris (2022) with living experience across Europe (Germany, France, Spain), the Middle East (Egypt, Lebanon), and the United States, I offer private tutoring in German and English or training in Political Science/International Relations.

From beginners (A1) to advanced users (C2), I boast experience in working with all age groups from primary school students to adults aiming to take the next step in their language proficiency.

My teaching methods are exclusively contingent on the student's needs/requirements, accounting for previous knowledge, the student's preferences, and feasibility of the project. As such, the first lesson seeks to provide me with an idea of the student's level while also ensuring that the synergy between teacher and pupil makes for a fruitful partnership.

With regards to training in Political Science/International Relations, I intend to draw on the knowledge and insights that I was able to acquire over 5 years of study in the respective fields at prestigious universities (Leiden University, Sciences Po Paris). Here, I am also able to tailor classes to the student's expectations.

Hello, having grown up in Luxembourg and studied in English, I am perfectly quadrilingual: in German, French, Luxembourgish, and English. I love teaching these languages to children and adults. I can help with homework, but can also adapt to other learning tools and engage in conversation.
