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

From 23 £ /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.

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.

Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual.

My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to:
. Develop and widen their vocabulary;
. Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview;
. Gain confidence in spoken English;
. Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English

We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors.

After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

Recently graduated with a bachelor's degree from Pole Superieur Conservatory of Paris and Sorbonne University, I would like to teach French to foreigners (especially those whose native language is Albanian or English), living or working in Paris. I also have a DELF diploma in the French language (the one recognized by the state to study in any French university).
My goal is to keep students challenged and progressing while their living in the country.
I assign homework after every session and provide periodic progress reports.
I can teach from English or Albanian towards French

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.

1. What is the TOEIC?

The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) is a language test developed by the Educational Testing Service (Princeton, USA). It measures/demonstrates the language skills that everyone in today's multinational work environment needs to communicate successfully in a foreign language.

2. Who uses the TOEIC?

The TOEIC test is one of the most widely used English-language tests in the world, with more than 14,000 organizations and universities in more than 160 countries relying on TOEIC scores to make important decisions.

3. What is the TOEIC used for?

The TOEIC is used to help organisations to:
• Select, hire, and/or promote their employees based on their level of English
• Select employees with adequate English language skills to participate in English language programs or training.
• Standardize the level of English language proficiency within the company.
Universities and other higher education institutions use this test to:

• Measure their students’ progress
• Issue an internationally recognized English language certificate to their students.

4. How can I help you?

• I will evaluate your English proficiency level
• I will introduce you to the format and structure of the test: remember, knowing the type of tasks is half the battle!
• I will provide you with a lot of exercises and materials, and we will practice a lot
• Depending on your needs, we can focus on the Listening and Reading Test, the Speaking and Writing Tests, or both
• During the preparation, if you get to an area that is going harder, then we will do more exercises related to it or them (grammar, pronunciation, listening comprehension).

My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people.

I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress.

Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF:
- The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
- The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles.

If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !

- Learn French (and its grammar) EASILY.
- Learn to read, speak and write French for people speaking a foreign language.
- Tutoring
When a student says "that's it, I'm getting there! », I am happy because that is why I am here!
My methodology:
First, I give personalized service to EVERY student.
I make sure to CLARIFY any words that are misunderstood. I very often use the dictionary, which is hardly done nowadays. I also show images, photos, to make the things studied more CONCRETE.
I am very careful that everything is learned STEP BY STEP, starting with a very simple step. Then we progress step by step, increasing the difficulty little by little.
With a sufficient number of exercises, we manage to learn everything!
