You need help learning French? Using my experiences as a journalist in the written press, a translator and a teacher in various subjects, I can make a difference.
I count over ten years of experience in teaching any levels, from elementary school to hich school, from suporting PHD students to teaching French as a foreign language.
My methodology is based on humour, on fun but most of all on you. Because every student, no matter their level, is unique. I will start by identifying your way of learning and from this understanding I will build a tailor-made course to help you progress.
For any special request, please, do contact me and we will discuss it together!

About Me

I am a journalist in the written press, I have been teaching French and English for over ten years and I am also a translator (English to French).
I have always been passionate about the French language and I have made it my job, but I also have real affinities with English. And since passions are meant to be shared, I love to teach. I gave my first class at the age of 19, in 2008. I was teaching French as a foreign language, and since then I have never really stopped. In the process, I have developed my knowledge, my experiences and my teaching methods. Today, the most important for me is to have fun because it is the most pleasant and the most effective way to learn.

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.

Laurie
The technology to improve your French. Lessons with a certified native teacher.
TECHNOLOGIES FOR LEARNING. Hey, My name is Laurie and I am an independent FLE teacher, graduated in French and Romance languages and literature since 2012. I have five years of experience under my belt (abroad and in Belgium). I have created a teaching method for online courses. The course includes: -The material (articles, videos, exercises from images and texts, grammatical theory, links to the exercises...). I use Google Doc so it's best to have a Gmail address to access it. -The correction of exercises outside of class (the written expressions are corrected outside of class, or with the student, according to his needs). -Access to an application (free) to study vocabulary on your smartphone. -A vocabulary sheet - pronunciation - grammar / conjugation, sent after each course. -If necessary, a vocabulary recording (for beginners). -The realization of online exercises and tests from the sent vocabulary sheets. -Motivation, laughter, good mood :-) My method: - It's based on speaking. -For grammar I use a question/answer method (learned during the training at the CERAN center). -We work on pronunciation with the verbotonal method (exercises for setting your voice, for rhythm, etc.). I might even make you sing! :-) -Everything goes through the spoken word before the written word, but I clearly adapt to the needs of the students. -The course is a little different for children and adolescents: I use interactive games and cards via webcam. See you soon! Laurie NB: Possibility to create an invoice for private individuals or companies.

Antonio
Spanish professor, NATIVE level, CELTA, A-Levels, GCSE
Hello everyone! I hold a CELTA teaching qualification in Spanish and a doctorate in Italian. I have been teaching Italian and Spanish for more than 5 years. I've been preparing students for the A-Levels and GCSE (language + literature). I can prepare you for specific examinations, language lessons in general or teach you Spanish for business. The lessons are for everyone, whatever their age or level (children to adults). I will make sure that you discover the Spanish culture through the lessons, learn the correct pronunciation and of course learn some grammar. I am open to your needs and can speak a few languages to make sure that you understand fully the lessons (of course, we’ll try to use mostly Spanish in all our lessons depending on your level). I can’t wait to meet my new students! 😊

Isabelle
Tailor-made French courses / French course tailored
I am a French teacher for 13 years. I can help for any demand in French (schooling, French as foreign language, communication, children, adults any level, etc.) I have a fun & active method that I tailored to the learner. After a meeting where we talk about your needs and wishes, I provide you a personal program based on your needs, goals, strengths & skills to learn better, easier, and faster. It's the same with children because they first need to develop confidence to trust their own skills. French teacher (13 years old) for all learners (school, French as a foreign language, adults, business communication, etc.), I have adopted a playful active method that I adapt to the needs of the learners. After an interview where we discuss your needs and wishes, I propose a program based on your needs, objectives, strengths and skills to allow you to learn easily, easily, quickly. It's the same thing with schoolchildren, because they especially need to gain confidence in their abilities to see them hatch.

Mike
French Language for Native English or German Speakers
Moving to a new country can be quite a daunting and difficult change. While you can get by in most situations in English, in other situations, it simply does not suffice. This class is for anyone looking to pick up French as a second language. The focus is to learn expressions and phrases, as well as pronunciation and how to speak without the dreaded 'foreigner' accent. From there we can build a foundation on which you can build. Having first moved here 20 years ago, I have grown up in Switzerland, my early childhood was spent in Germany, meaning I can teach people whose mother tongue is either German or English. They say practice makes perfect, and that has certainly been the case for me. So that is what I will do with you, practice with you and guide you until perfect.
