I am a trained French teacher with a degree in linguistics. I have been teaching since 2012 and I support candidates in improving their French and preparing for official exams. The preparation is fully tailored to your level, the date of your exam and the skills you need to strengthen. We are working on the different challenges: - listening comprehension; - understanding of written texts; - written production; - oral production. The goal is not only to improve your French, but also to understand what examiners expect and to learn how to respond effectively to exam instructions. Depending on your needs, we can work on methodology, organization of ideas, argumentation, grammar, vocabulary, time management and correction of written or oral productions. Exercises and practice topics may be offered between lessons to track your progress and identify areas that require more work. As the exam approaches, we can also carry out simulations under conditions close to the real test, particularly for oral production. Before we begin, simply tell me the diploma and level you are preparing for, the scheduled date of the exam, and the difficulties you wish to work on as a priority.
