French tuition for beginners up to A level with experienced, patient and friendly tutor

French tuition either on a 1-1, 1-2 or small group basis - can either follow a school or college curriculum or be completely student-led, working on difficulties or starting to learn the language from scratch, working towards exams or just to achieve personal goals. I use a wide range of materials, from books and websites to audio examples on YouTube, Instagram and other sites. Keeping the language up to date is key to learning so I always prioritise the spoken and written word, focusing on increasing skills and confidence in listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiently in French.

About Me

I'm a Mum of two teenagers so my teaching skills have come in very handy over the years! My patience is infinite and I understand how to relate to students of all ages and abilities through being kind, sensitive to their needs and responding to each individual with care. My love of French began quite late on as my experience at school wasn't very positive - luckily I had a fantastic French tutor who got me through the difficulties, leading to my developing a passion for the language and for all things French! I went on to study French at University, spend a year living in the south of France then I began honing my tuition skills and now I'm over 25 years in the job. Over the years I have learnt how to tailor my lessons to the requirements of each student and have achieved great success - in terms of student exam grades and with adult learners gaining skills and confidence - due to the time and attention I give to creating and delivering interesting, useful and informative lessons. I have strong IT skills and have over 3 years' experience of online teaching via Zoom, Skype and MS Teams.

Education

I attended the University of Reading in the UK which included a year spent attending the Université de Paul Valéry in Montpellier and achieved a 2:1 grade. Before that I completed 3 A levels and 10 GCE 'O' levels at secondary school including French and English (at both levels)

Experience / Qualifications

Apart from French tuition, I have additional experience in writing CVs, general administrative work, proofreading and copy-editing, researching and creating content for social media and managing training courses.

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Elise
French private lessons by university graduate in Letters
Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to: - consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling - improve their language skills (allophone students) - improve their speaking skills (conversation classes) -profect the written expression - prepare for ECR exams - prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion) - help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation - work on argumentative texts - acquire a method to analyze literary texts - learn how to perform bibliographic research The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing. For help with writing: The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson. For analyzes of oral literary texts: In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage. For the corrections of end of studies work: so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting. Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone. For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages. For adults (FLE): In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website). The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling. Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Advanced French course: written and oral comprehension; written and oral production. Improving communication skills.
Dear parents, dear students and learners, I am delighted to offer you advanced private lessons in French, whether at home or online. Learning French as a foreign language is a wise decision, as it is the 4th most widely spoken language worldwide. It would therefore be beneficial and essential to acquire linguistic competence in French, given that it is the official language at the UN, NATO, UNESCO and other organizations. The courses aim to improve mastery of French by using the terms and expressions appropriate to each context. Let's go, this is the beginning of greater success!!

Hello! I am Maria Emilia and I am passionate about the world of education. With a solid experience with both young children and adults, I have had the privilege of teaching French and English for the past 7 years. From beginners to business level. I have worked as a French and English teacher, educational assistant and monitor in Spain, France, Germany and Switzerland. This diversity of experience has allowed me to develop a comprehensive and dynamic educational approach that focuses on learning through a variety of activities, such as worksheets, games and videos. In my classes, spelling, grammar and pronunciation are fundamental aspects, but I also emphasize language practice in a fun and stimulating way. I firmly believe in adapting the content and pace of classes to the individual needs and interests of my students, thus ensuring an enriching and personalized learning experience. In addition, I also offer support classes in other subjects, such as mathematics or crafts in French or English, to ensure the student's comprehensive and complete development.

Amandine
Quality courses in French and FLE, given with kindness, pedagogy and humor.
Hello everyone! My name is Amandine, I was born in France and will be delighted to help you learn the language of Molière, whatever your age, your country of residence, your current level and your goals. Having obtained my baccalaureate at 16, I started giving private lessons at the age of 14. Today, I have a very long and solid experience, particularly with children, although I also enjoy helping adults. My lessons and materials are fun and stimulating. As for my method: since I am convinced that everyone is unique in their needs, interests, reasoning and sensitivity, it simply consists of adapting to each of my students, to optimize their progress as well as their desire and pleasure to learn. To this end, I have had the chance to enrich my passion by supporting DYS or HPI children and I also have adapted course materials. The availability times on my schedule are informative and not exhaustive. I adapt as much as possible to the requirements of each person, as well as to the time difference for my future students outside France. I currently teach French cycle 2 & 3 to four boys (two sets of twins) who live in China. ;-) I look forward to helping you achieve your goals, do not hesitate to contact me!

Georgette
i teach French from age 10 years to higher education
I am very flexible in teaching. The aim is for the student to reach a target level as quickly as possible. For this I analyze during the first lesson where the shortcomings are and in this way draw up a learning program (always in consultation with the student/parents). I attach great importance to learning the perfect pronunciation. I also encourage learning to think in the language learned so that the language can be spoken as soon as possible. Of course I also explain the grammar rules that are indispensable. I am pleased when my students get positive results.
