Experienced teacher and chalk in hand, offers coaching (online or at home) taking into account the learner's level and adopting the most appropriate method for adequate monitoring. Online, the sessions will be recorded and the video will be available for the listener (for their revisions).
If you are an intermediate (non-exam) student, looking to upgrade and fill the gaps that could potentially hinder you in an exam class, you will find the skills and experience competition to be sure to meet the challenge. Whatever your fear or certainty of the weakness of your level, our promise is to raise you to performance.

The difficulties related to analysis (grammatical as well as logical), conjugation, spelling, vocabulary, the methodology of the exam tests (essay, summary, commentary), the understanding of texts, genres and literary trends will no longer be a secret or a pitfall to your success. The same goes for literary analysis tools: lexical and semantic fields, figures of speech, textual typologies, etc.
We have already supervised auditors online or in person with satisfactory results, using a method centered on the learner and taking into account their abilities and limitations. We proceed with a flexible method according to the level of development of the auditor/learner to avoid any dropout that may arise from reluctance or apprehension.

Hello,

I am Julien, a teacher of French as a foreign language, a graduate of the Alliance Française de Paris Ile de France, specializing in French for Specific Purposes (FOS) for professionals.

I have been teaching French to foreigners since 2015, through private or group lessons, always in a studious and relaxed atmosphere!

I lived for a year in Buenos Aires (Argentina) where I began my teaching activity in French, which allowed me to confront a mainly Spanish-speaking public and to understand their expectations and their difficulties in learning this language which was initially foreign to them.


For 10 years, I have lived in Senegal where I have had the opportunity to give lessons to Senegalese adults with little or no literacy in an association as well as to individuals and professionals of different nationalities.

Students have many reasons for learning French:

- be able to communicate with French-speaking people (in Senegal, French is an official language spoken by a large part of the population, so learning French is essential to be able to integrate and be independent in everyday life!)
- prepare their expatriation to France (students, professionals)
- prepare a trip to France (tourism)


For me, the relationship with the student is essential, and their development is my priority.

I take into account the fact that each student has a background, a level, needs and expectations that characterize them.

The objectives set are always respected and the level of difficulty varies depending on each person's progress!

I can support you in preparing for certifications (DELF, DALF, DCL).

My training as a French teacher for specific purposes also allows me to offer a service adapted to professionals.

I'm waiting for you !


Hello,

My name is Julien, professor of French for foreigners, a graduate from the Alliance Française de Paris Ile De France, specializing in French for Specific Purposes (FOS) for professionals.

I've been teaching to foreigners since 2015, in individual or collective classes, always with a professional but relaxed atmosphere!

I lived one year in Buenos Aires where I had the opportunity to give classes to Argentinians, Colombians and Russians students (exchange students, professionals or French culture lovers).

I've been living for 10 years in Senegal where I had the opportunity to give French classes to Senegalese illiterate adults and to individuals and to professionals from different countries.

Students' motivations for learning French are manifested:

- to be able to communicate with French-speaking people (in Dakar, the majority of people speak French, learning French is key and it's an essential first step to integration!)
- preparing for expatriation to France (students, professionals)
- preparing a trip to France (tourism)


For me, the relationship with the student is key and his
personal fulfillment is my priority.

I keep in mind that each student has personal goals, needs and careers.
The level of difficulty will always depend on how the student is evolving and improving.

Please be welcome!

I am a qualified and passionate private tutor of mathematics and physics (PC), a graduate of Cheikh Anta Diop University of Dakar (UCAD). My academic background includes studies in mathematics, physics and computer science during my first two years of university, followed by a bachelor's and a master's degree in biomathematics, where I was able to deepen my skills in applied sciences.

My tutoring experience began within my family circle, and with over ten years of experience, I have developed a personalized approach to academic support, enhanced by online pedagogical training. I offer lessons tailored to each student's specific needs, always starting with a thorough assessment of their skills to better identify weaknesses and develop a customized remediation program.

On a personal level, I find great motivation in working with students who are passionate about success. Their determination to improve fuels my commitment to guiding them toward their goals. Highly professional in my approach, I focus strictly on the pedagogical aspect, ensuring a serious and structured learning environment during lessons.

My mastery of the mathematics, science, and French curricula, combined with my expertise in biomathematics, allows me to simplify complex concepts and make learning science more accessible. My goal is to help each student strengthen their foundational skills, regain confidence, and develop independence in their studies.

I offer private lessons in Dakar, at the student's home or remotely via an interactive online platform, thus offering equal flexibility and efficiency in both formats.
