Individual or Small Group Lessons to Learn French (all levels) + Conversation classes + Literary club

Immersive French courses / personalized instruction

- I offer attentive and demanding teaching, but I am convinced that this is only really possible in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere - you learn better when you dare to make mistakes!
- I do not believe that there is a single method or textbook suitable for everyone. Hence the importance for me of always getting to know my students in order to build an effective progression.
- I systematically tailor my lessons to the particular needs of each student, depending of course on his or her abilities but also on his or her favorite subjects.
- I ask the students to do exercises (lexical or grammatical) at home after each lesson, in electronic (pdf) or paper format. We systematically correct them at the beginning of each class.
- The dialogue between the students and the teacher is very important. Not a lesson goes by without them talking about life and the events in the news...
- I prepare for examinations (DL, DELF/DALF, TEF, TCF, CCIP, TELC, CIEP, LPE...)

About Me

With a degree in history and a doctorate in information science, I started as a librarian at INA (Paris) where I worked for many information professionals (journalists, university researchers, etc.), then, in the framework of my research, combining on a daily basis fields of study as varied as the history of ideas, sociology (sociology, sociology of communication, sociology of journalism), information and communication sciences, political history and economics.

In the Netherlands, I worked on the theme of the surveillance society and new ways of being informed and — in particular, on the theme of the new forms of circulation of news content. Then I wrote a thesis on the frameworks of a critical analysis of the journalistic representation.

I started teaching French at the Alliance Française, and after a few more years of study, I opened La Parenthèse in 2014.

I am a person who is interested in a thousand things (as much in literature as in astronomy, geopolitics and history) and I therefore read a lot of newspapers, magazines and journals, which allows me to feed my lessons with varied and continuously updated material.

Education

- 1997 : Licence et maitrise d'Histoire (Paris 1 Sorbonne) / “Public opinion
as perceived through the petitions addressed to the Chamber of Deputies between May 1873 and May 1877” (archived in the French National Library, BNF).
- 1998 : Professional degree (BA) in Information and Archiving Science and Techniques (specialization in audiovisual archiving) (1998) (Licence professionnelle “Sciences et Techniques de l’Information et de la Documentation”, option: audiovisuel) delivered by the Institut national des techniques de la documentation (INTD) and the Institut national de l’audiovisuel (National Audiovisual Institute, INA).
- 2004 : DEA (post-graduate degree) / Title: “Towards a study of silence in televised news”.
- 2010 : PhD (doctorat) / Title: “Ideology and journalistic representation. Towards a social critique-based analysis of information. A case-study of international news coverage by the French radio station France Inter”.

Experience / Qualifications

I first worked at the Alliance française (group A1, groups B1 and B2, conversation classes), then, as a teacher at La Parenthèse, I taught at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), the International School of The Hague and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). This has enabled me to build up a solid educational background over the years.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
