French lessons for adults - French lessons FLE (Foreign Language) - Tutoring
- Learn French (and its grammar) EASILY. - Learn to read, speak and write French for people speaking a foreign language. - Tutoring When a student says "that's it, I'm getting there! », I am happy because that is why I am here! My methodology: First, I give personalized service to EVERY student. I make sure to CLARIFY any words that are misunderstood. I very often use the dictionary, which is hardly done nowadays. I also show images, photos, to make the things studied more CONCRETE. I am very careful that everything is learned STEP BY STEP, starting with a very simple step. Then we progress step by step, increasing the difficulty little by little. With a sufficient number of exercises, we manage to learn everything!

Depending of your needs, we can practice the oral part, or the written part for example. I can speak and translate in English, if necessary, but I think the best is to speak only in French!

Vivien
English course, French course (FLE, written expression)
After a baccalaureate literary mention, complementary English option (19/20) I obtained a degree in Applied Modern Literature specializing in foreign languages and comparative literature. After graduation, I redirected to law school, very interested in international law and environmental law. In parallel with these literary studies, I taught French and English to young high school students in order to consolidate their level of knowledge and expression. In other jobs I have held (Ministry of Culture, European Space Agency ...), I have evolved in an international and bilingual context that made me want to teach French to foreigners. I speak several languages: I am certified C1 in English (the maximum being C2), I speak also Italian, Spanish, and some German. For beginners in French, I can adapt with another language. Depending on your level, your difficulties your needs to learn or consolidate your French, or your English, I can plan a particular program. Do a level assessment in a first class, and adapt to your level. I am available immediately for regular or one-time courses Hi, After obtaining my french "Literary Baccalaureate" (litterature), specializing in additional english courses (grade: 19/20), I had a degree in Modern Literature, specializing in foreign languages and comparative literature. After my graduation, I was redirected to law school, very interested in international law and environmental law. Alongside these literary studies, I taught in French and English to young students in order to consolidate their linguistic knowledge, and oral expression. In other jobs I held (Ministry of Culture, European Space Agency ...), I evolved into an international and bilingual context that made me want to teach French to foreigners. I speak several languages: I am certified in English C1 (the maximum being C2), I also speak Italian, Spanish and some German. For students beginners in English, we can speak another language. Depending on your level, your difficulties, I can provide a particular program. I will make level of evaluation in a first race, and adapt to your level.

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.
