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.

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.

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 of 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 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 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.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

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.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

- 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!

My name is Enea, I'm 20 years old, and I'm in my third year of studying Modern Literature (specifically in the LESEM program) at the Sorbonne. I also study several languages, including English (C1) and Mandarin Chinese (A2). As I'm preparing for the competitive teaching exam (CAPES), I wanted to get closer to teaching by starting with private tutoring. I can help your child with their homework and supplementary activities to help them improve their language and literature skills. Furthermore, since I live in Paris, travel is not a problem for me.

Graduated from Sorbonne University and currently a doctoral student at EHESS, I have been teaching and supporting students for several years in the context of academic support and private lessons.

Throughout my experience, I have worked with students with varied profiles, from primary to high school, which allows me to adapt flexibly to the needs and pace of each individual.

I offer personalized support, tailored to each student's level, pace, and goals. My objective is to help students make lasting progress, better understand their lessons, and regain confidence in their schoolwork.

To provide effective support, I begin by precisely identifying the student's difficulties. I then adapt my methods to help them structure their learning, focus on their homework, and better prepare for tests and exams.

Thanks to rigorous and supportive monitoring, students gradually improve their academic results, autonomy and motivation in all general subjects.
