    French as a Second Language for youth and adults. Oral and/or writing French language skills upon demand.

    I specialize in tutoring French to Adults including those who want to get French accreditations set by the French Ministry of Culture. My international experience in this field covers students who want to register in French universities as well as public servants and businessmen who need to improve their oral language and/or their writing skills (grammar, vocabulary). From 2004 to 2010, I was a French as a Second Language (FSL) instructor at Alliance Française de Toronto (Canada) and I also was in charge of providing one-on-one and group classes to Members of the Provincial Parliament (MPP) of Ontario and high-ranking Canadian public servants in various Canadian Federal Government Departments, Ontario Provincial Government Ministries and Ontario Court of Justice to assess their French language skills, help them in their job and prepare them to successfully take the Canadian federal and provincial language accreditation exams. Since then, my strong educational and professional backgrounds and broad knowledge of terminology in several fields (I hold a Master's in History, a Master's in Financial Management and a Bachelor of Science in Physics in addition to the Oracle Certified Professional Developer certification) have been a great asset for those who want to deepen their knowledge of the Langue de Molière in oral communication and/or writing, whatever their field of interest is. I would be more than happy to work with you with responsibility, respect and confidentiality.

    Learn French with a French-speaking teacher, 7 days a week
    Hello to all of you! I welcome you to my profile. You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French. Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning. Hence my presence on this site. My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French. To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges. I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere! You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours. This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible! It's all in your favor! Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.

    Fawzi
    Succeed in the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Private preparation sessions | [IN LINE]
    My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF: - The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. - The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles. If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !
