Step by step with the French language; new ways to learn this language

From 26.77 £ /h

Qui suis-je? I'm Nicole. You can contact me for courses, tutoring, homework assistance and exam training in the French language.

Do you want to prepare your child for French lessons in the first year? Then I offer the opportunity to get acquainted with this language. Much of the communication in such a lesson is in French, but for children who are just starting I give explanations in Dutch. The main thing is that children enjoy learning the language. That is why games are also played in class. Topics can be 'greeting someone' 'telling something about yourself, naming colors, etc.

France is a popular holiday destination for many Dutch people. However, it can sometimes be difficult if you want to order a baguette or croissant and in the event of a breakdown on the road you will first have to call in a 'dépanneur' who will tow the car to a nearby garage, because France does not have a roadside assistance service. Google translate then seems useful, but a translation machine knows no grammar and interpreting the context of a word is also not possible. "I have a breakdown with my car" translates as "Je n'ai pas de chance avec ma voiture". Now a garage owner can conclude from that that you have problems with the car, but you make yourself better understood by saying: "Notre voiture est en panne."
Even if you are considering buying a house in France, you can take a course to overcome a language barrier.

Learning French is a new challenge. This language has its own rules and they are not always logical. There are many ways to learn the French language and you can always find one that suits you. But how do you know what suits you? I will discuss this with you prior to a tutoring session. With extra explanation and targeted exercises I help you to get better in the French language. But I also look at how you learn the material and I give you tips to learn smarter. Of course I provide variety with the help of French material, just think of songs, film fragments and reading a piece from the most famous newspapers such as 'Le Figarot' and 'Le Monde'.

I am a first degree French teacher and have lived and worked in England for 11 years. I have a lot of experience teaching young people in secondary education as well as adults.

My goal is to help you on your way and to support you with good explanation, patience and humor. When you are in school you have your own book. We treat that subject matter during the tutoring. I also have a lot of extra practice material to practice grammar or texts, for example.

I passed the IB diploma program for Biology Standard Level with full marks, I also received a 7 on my Internal Assessment (IA). I have a very good grasp on what the IB expects from it's students (all the weird and wonderful little criteria.) I have a very good grasp on Biology the subject itself, as it was one of my favorite classes and I understand the concepts on a broader and more minute scale, so I can help students to understand the topics as well as the specifics and how they all play into one another. I aim to provide students with not just the memorization of information in a somewhat robotic sense, but an actual understanding and comfortable grasp on all the topics, ideas and concepts. I can help with any homework or course work provided, including providing feedback and guidance on essays and assignments. I also like to set out extra homework (not difficult, just based on our sessions) to get back to me at the next meeting so that the student's confidence and grasp on the subjects continues to build and I can see where exactly they need assistance.

NB: prior to our meetings, if possible, I would appreciate being sent whatever course work or topics the student is currently doing in class (or the syllabus, in the best case scenario) in order to best maximize my planning and ability to assist.

For 40 years I taught, among other things, in Dutch.
Of course I prepare the lesson well on the basis of the material you provide.
Normally a lesson lasts an hour, but if you want it can be longer or shorter.
I taught grammar school to grammar school students and they got a 9.
You want that too!!

Born and raised in Paris, I can teach french from a basic level to a literary, more demanding and refined level, with the discreet parisian accent and a correct pronunciation to match.

I can also teach and discuss philosophical and literary works in french.

bonjour,

My name is Alexander and I am 33 years old. I'm Dutch, but I grew up in France all my life.
In addition to my Baccalaureate (Mention bien), I also studied political science in Paris (Panthéon-Assas) for a year.
In short, I know where the trouble lies as a Dutch person in learning French. In addition to a grammatical preparation, I also provide a cultural background. I can help with test preparations from school to university level. French education demands more than just language, but also rhetorical technique. I'd be happy to help you with that too!

Feel free to contact us, and together we will develop your ideal lesson.

Qualified Teacher in English As a Second Language. I have experience with a wide range of levels and ages, most importantly between 8 and 17 years old. Tutoring has provided me a particular insight of teaching English, where I adapt to the client's needs.
If the needs is rather to learn day-to-day English or French, I rather practice through games, interactive activities and real-life examples. Most importantly, I priviledge conversation tasks.

Currently I am undertaking a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate, therefore, I can offer constructed classes adapted to the students strengths and weakness, provide support and assistance in grasping complex English language concepts (ie. grammar, punctuation, spelling, writing), and provide feedback in work/assignments. I am here to help!:)

Dear language lovers,

WHAT I OFFER
I provide French and English lessons for all levels and domains,whether business, academic, social, or simply for the joy of learning a rich and fascinating language. I can help you develop your reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in both French and English. From grammar and syntax to vocabulary enrichment, I use a personalized, pedagogical approach based on your individual needs and shared learning goals we define together.

MY EXPERIENCE
As a native French speaker, I know the beauty and poetry of the language inside and out, and I’m excited to share it with anyone curious to dive in. Since high school, I’ve offered private tutoring to students aged 10 to 17, helping them with everything from grammar worksheets and book reviews to philosophy essays and creative writing assignments.

As for English, I was raised in an international school environment where English was a core part of my education from childhood through high school. I earned my TOEFL certificate before beginning my current bachelor’s studies, which are entirely in English. I've also taught English with a focus on pronunciation, grammar, syntax, and practical communication skills.

TUTORING SET-UP
When tutoring, I place strong emphasis on tracking progress, often by assigning homework (if agreed upon) and creating clear, structured plans to help students stay on track. I’m always flexible and happy to adapt to each learner’s feedback and preferences to make lessons as enjoyable and engaging as possible.

I offer lessons online or in person—either at my place or yours. Thanks to my bilingual upbringing (with a German mother) and my French-German high school diploma (AbiBac), I can also provide instruction in German if needed.

Looking forward to sharing the joy of language learning with you!
