French literature - preparation for the Capes in modern literature

From 37 £ /h

Certified professor in literature, doctor in philosophy, I offer preparation for students in literature. Preparation for the capes, especially the dissertation, but also the grammar test. I am bilingual in Spanish and I can also prepare for the writing test if you choose this language. For old French, historical phonetics is a pure nightmare but there is a bibliography that can help. You have to focus on the dissertation, which is the exercise with the highest coefficient. And you have to prepare the oral in parallel with the written, the time is short between the two moments of the competition.

Extra information

You have to know the tests well, it's a prerequisite.

About Me

I am an atypical person who started her career as a training engineer (specializing in human resources) then as a "European development agent". I got tired of all that and changed direction. Since I loved philosophy as much as literature, I prepared for both competitive exams, I passed the modern literature exam and consoled myself by preparing a philosophy thesis that I defended before leaving for Qatar, then Morocco, then Cambodia. I have taught at almost all levels, from learning to read to the firefighter competition. I like novelty. When the French program became absolutely poor, and it became impossible to correct the slightest copy of philosophy, for lack of the slightest philosophical idea, I resigned. But since I still love teaching, I give private lessons to those who need it and I teach them what we most often no longer teach them in our schools. Understand a text, qualify it, situate it, interpret it correctly, comment on it. And write an essay that stands up.

Education

Three degrees (psychology, ethnology, sociology), a master's degree and a DEA in anthropology, a DESS in management, Capes in literature and a thesis in philosophy. I resigned from the National Education system in 2017. I write books, including a detective novel.

Experience / Qualifications

I taught in the field of combating illiteracy up to preparation for competitive examinations. And I ensured the staff training plan at the Mercure hotel in Doha Qatar.
I created the website "alternativephilolettres"
I was in charge of TD at the Jules Verne University of Amiens (in human sciences), I provided French training for BTS sales and tourism for Interfor (Amiens) and I developed a history of ideas course in an engineering school.
Then I joined the national education system. Two years preparing future primary school teachers, then back to secondary school where I went on an expatriation to Qatar, Morocco and then Cambodia, studying philosophy and French/French as a second language.
Back in France, I took the L stream in a Catholic high school in Fréjus, and I resigned to write books and take care of my association and the children of the Cambodian village where I had founded a center.

Writing a dissertation is a difficult exercise, but with method, you can do it. There is the work of writing, but there is also the work of "composition": making a plan, establishing a clearly defined subject, a reference and/or specialized bibliography, chaptering, accepting unstable areas, learning not to freeze a plan too quickly, working while accepting remodeling... All this can be learned, and it is by doing that one becomes a blacksmith.
I can help you where you need it or for the whole thing.

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.

In this class, we practice conversational English by diving into the stories we love. Instead of dry grammar drilling, our focus is entirely on natural discussion centered on books, writing, and cinema. We will chat about character psychology, narrative themes, and storylines. We can even read and analyze short book excerpts or script pieces together, depending on what makes your heart beat faster.

As a writer, I'm especially interested in how language creates emotion, reveals personality, and brings stories to life. Together, we'll explore not only what characters say, but why they say it that way, and how you can use those same natural expressions to sound more confident and natural in your own English.

Don't worry—you don't need to be a literary critic to enjoy these lessons. We use stories as a starting point for conversation, not as an excuse to overanalyze every page or scene. Whether you enjoy discussing your favorite novel, breaking down an unforgettable movie scene, or simply chatting about fictional worlds, the goal is to create a relaxed environment where English feels alive and enjoyable.

It's all about enjoying the language instead of seeing it as something intimidating. Yes, I will correct your mistakes, but mistakes are one of the most valuable parts of learning. They show us what to improve and help build lasting confidence. My goal is for every lesson to feel engaging, encouraging, and something you genuinely look forward to.

This is an open, friendly space for anyone who wants to build real-world speaking confidence, expand their vocabulary, and share their enthusiasm for books and movies. Every lesson is tailored to your interests, goals, and pace, because I believe we learn best when we're genuinely interested in what we're talking about.

MULTILINGUAL LISTENING SUPPORT:
To make your lessons completely stress-free, you are welcome to use your native language whenever you get stuck. I have a strong passive understanding (listening and reading) of several languages, which means I can easily understand you if you speak or write in:

•English (Fluent - MA Degree)
•Serbian (Native)
•Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese & German (Listening & Reading comprehension)

Note: While I mostly understand these languages when you use them, our actual conversation and explanations will be conducted in English or Serbian.

TECHNICAL DETAILS FOR ONLINE LESSONS:
I conduct my lessons via Google Meet (the easiest option—no installation required, you just click the link I send you) or Microsoft Teams, depending on your preference. During our sessions, we will actively use screen sharing, digital learning materials, and interactive notes to ensure your learning experience is highly effective and engaging.

I offer private French lessons from middle school to high school, tailored to the level, difficulties and objectives of each student.

We can work on the French language, grammar, spelling, vocabulary and written expression, but also literature and text analysis.

For high school students, I offer specific preparation for the French baccalaureate exams: commentary, essay, writing, linear analysis, oral preparation and presentation of readings.

The sessions also allow students to work on essential methods for progress: understanding instructions, constructing a response, organizing ideas, analyzing a text, arguing and writing with precision.

I adapt to the needs of each student. The goal is to overcome the difficulties encountered in class, to progress methodically and to gradually acquire true autonomy.

I can also support students who wish to improve their oral expression, argumentation, and fluency in public speaking.

I am an English teacher with experience teaching both classroom and online learners. My lessons are designed around one simple idea: English should help you express your ideas, not simply pass a test.

I specialize in conversational English, academic writing, English literature, grammar, reading comprehension, and communication skills.

Whether you want to become more confident speaking English, improve your academic writing, prepare for university, or explore literature more deeply, I tailor each lesson to your goals, level, and learning style.

My approach is structured but conversational. Rather than simply giving you answers, I guide you to understand how and why English works so that you can eventually use it independently.

You don't just learn English with me: you learn how to use it to think, communicate, and express yourself.
