Learning French: strengthening the mastery of the language or French as a foreign language (FLE)

From 22 £ /h

This course corresponds to learning or strengthening the French language: we will work on oral and written comprehension and expression. Each session will start from a theme related to current events or culture to more easily study the rules of grammar, syntax, conjugation and develop vocabulary. Each time we will see a specific grammatical theme for which I will have designed comprehension and expression exercises. In order to diversify the approaches to the language, we will rely on different media: newspaper articles, extracts from podcasts, extracts from films, books, songs, ... I will explain to you each time their context of publication!

I designed this course so that it can be adapted to the learners: each person being different, it seems important to me to take into account the methods and needs of each one.

French is my first language but I can use English if necessary.

It is better to bring your own material (notebook, sheets, pens, etc.).

About Me

Hello!
I am a PhD student in Comparative Literature at UPEC. I love teaching and I would like to finance part of my studies, which is why I registered on this platform. I just graduated a Research MA in Comparative Literature at ENS of Lyon and a Teaching MA in Modern Literature by holding Agrégation of Modern Literature.

In parallel to my studies, I volunteered for two years by teaching French as foreign language in an association who aims to help people recently arrived in France not only to learn or master French language but also to familiarise with the culture. Moreover, I realized a year of lectorship at Charles University of Praha (Czechia) whereI mainly taught French civilisation, language and literature.

As a person curious and eager for new experiences, I have always been involved in many activities related to communication: from cultural and radio journalism to curating exhibitions (with cultural mediations), art and theatre, these activities have allowed me to develop other ways of sharing knowledge. I try to draw as much inspiration from them as possible to make my lessons more enjoyable and relevant! For me, it is important to adapt to learners: teaching is therefore a passion that can be learnt through years of experience as well as encounters with students.

Many French people admit not feeling at ease when they have to express themselves in English to English-speaking people. They understand well what they hear but do not have solid keys to express themselves with ease, fluidity, by constructing rich sentences.

They think that what they lack the most is the vocabulary but generally, what they lack the most are grammatical keys on which to build everything.

The grammar of a language is the equivalent of the foundations of a house. Without foundations, a house crumbles. Without grammar, the expression remains wobbly, approximate, even false to the point of sometimes becoming incomprehensible.

This is why I offer private lessons exclusively in English grammar to allow you to weld your "foundations" and free your expression by giving you confidence.
Together, we will take, deepen and consolidate your grammatical knowledge
We will reinforce your mastery of the fundamental structures of the language and will also work on the idioms which English people love and which will allow you to make a difference.

In order to progress in the best possible conditions, I offer private lessons in the evening of 1h or 1h30:
Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Saturday mornings between 9:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. or afternoon between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

I am a trained French teacher with a degree in linguistics. I have been teaching since 2012 and I support candidates in improving their French and preparing for official exams.

The preparation is fully tailored to your level, the date of your exam and the skills you need to strengthen.

We are working on the different challenges:
- listening comprehension;
- understanding of written texts;
- written production;
- oral production.

The goal is not only to improve your French, but also to understand what examiners expect and to learn how to respond effectively to exam instructions.

Depending on your needs, we can work on methodology, organization of ideas, argumentation, grammar, vocabulary, time management and correction of written or oral productions.

Exercises and practice topics may be offered between lessons to track your progress and identify areas that require more work.

As the exam approaches, we can also carry out simulations under conditions close to the real test, particularly for oral production.

Before we begin, simply tell me the diploma and level you are preparing for, the scheduled date of the exam, and the difficulties you wish to work on as a priority.

Is your child preparing for the French brevet or baccalaureate exams and needs method, regularity and self-confidence?

I offer personalized support in French, adapted to the level and objectives of each student: consolidation of the basics, methodology, preparation for written and oral exams, but also work on building confidence in speaking and writing.

A graduate of Sorbonne University and currently a doctoral candidate at EHESS in Arts and Languages, I have been mentoring students for several years and am also a writer and writing workshop facilitator. This dual approach, both academic and creative, allows me to combine rigor with a love of reading and literature.

What I propose:

- Methodology of commentary, essay, and oral presentation
- Strengthening of basic expression and comprehension skills
- Targeted preparation for the brevet and baccalaureate exams
- Work on building confidence and fluency in public speaking
- Writing workshops to unleash expression and improve fluency

Observed results:
Students progress rapidly, gain autonomy, gain confidence in their abilities and sustainably improve their relationship with French, both written and spoken.

Each course is tailored to the student's profile, with a clear, structured and motivating approach.

My goal is simple: to help each student progress and regain confidence.

The lessons are clear, dynamic, and tailored to the student's level. We work on methodology, text comprehension, and written and oral expression, without unnecessary pressure. The result: better grades, but above all, greater confidence and less stress when facing exams.

Specifically, during classes:

exchanges and practical exercises,

an effective method for the brevet and the baccalaureate;

regular training (commentary, essay, oral presentation);

simple and useful tips to save time and avoid pitfalls;

personalized, serious and caring support.

Hello,

I am a Master's student in Public Business Law at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Previously, I obtained a dual French-Spanish baccalaureate and a double Bachelor's degree in Law (European Studies track) from the University of Nantes, which provided me with a strong multidisciplinary background. I therefore offer tutoring in the humanities and social sciences (law, economics and social sciences, languages, history, sociology, history, geography, geography, geopolitics, and political science) to your children and teenagers, in order to support their learning and help them improve.

Drawing on my extensive experience, I approach these lessons with a positive and pedagogical mindset, adapting to your children's needs to best understand their requirements. The goal is to provide exercises (quizzes, essay or commentary topics) or short case studies for subsequent lessons, allowing students to practice the concepts covered together, but above all, to solidify their learning and put it into practice.
I also offer oral preparation courses to promote ease in public speaking and to better manage stress during these exams.
