Experience / Qualifications
I'm a dedicated and creative French, Romanian and English language trainer, with over 16 years of experience in the field. I'm an adept of tailored, customized courses, meant to facilitate a targeted, personalized approach, based on each student’s needs.I use a large variety of interactive materials such as games, animations, short films, photos, paintings, songs and sketches, even when it comes to business language.
Teaching students from a wide range of backgrounds, with different levels and learning styles and paces, has considerably helped me refine my training skills over the time. I strongly believe one can best learn new notions by playing, visualizing and making analogies, not by memorizing by heart. I also prioritize conversation over writing and reading-based tasks, as I consider speaking essential when learning a language, no matter the level.
My teaching method together with my inherent passion for languages have until now successfully resulted in engaged students who learned how to study in an efficient way. This led to their significant progress and more than once to a shift of perspective regarding the idea of learning a foreign language, which doesn't have to involve boring, dense and predictable textbooks and can actually be interesting and fun.
I love what I do, as my activity implies continuous self-improvement and it also gives me the opportunity to leave an imprint behind.

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.

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 !

Georgette
i teach French from age 10 years to higher educationI am very flexible in teaching. The aim is for the student to reach a target level as quickly as possible. For this I analyze during the first lesson where the shortcomings are and in this way draw up a learning program (always in consultation with the student/parents).
I attach great importance to learning the perfect pronunciation. I also encourage learning to think in the language learned so that the language can be spoken as soon as possible.
Of course I also explain the grammar rules that are indispensable.
I am pleased when my students get positive results.

Gabriela
Spanish classes, French or English reinforcement for all agesI offer Spanish, English and French courses. I am Colombian and have 7 years of teaching experience. I am currently a student of a Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language. I am based in Nantes, but I can adapt perfectly to virtuality. I have taught both in-person and remote classes, and I have a high level of handling platforms and artificial intelligence that facilitate and adapt my teaching to all types of profiles. My courses will be based on the particular needs of each student. For example, the first class will be dedicated to discussing and getting to know the objectives of each student, in order to plan how I will carry out the language course.
I propose the Spanish, English or French courses. Je suis colombienne et j'ai 7 ans d'expérience dans l'enseignement. Currently, I am a student in a master's degree in French Language Étrangère (FLE). Je suis basée à Nantes, mais je peux m'adapter parfaitement à l'enseignement en ligne. J'ai donné des cours en présentiel et à distance. Furthermore, I have mastered the numerical plates and the tools of artificial intelligence, which allow me to adapt my teaching to all the profiles. Mes cours are based on the specific kisses of the student's jacket. For example, the first session will be consecrated to discussing and understanding the objectives of the student, so as to plan the way the language courses will be mené.
Amelie
French as a Foreign Language, DELF Preparation, qualified and DELF certified teacherI have been a FLE teacher for over 10 years, and I like to continue training to be able to adapt my lessons to the expectations and learning styles of my students.
I have taught at all levels, to children, teenagers and adults, as well as to employees in companies. I have also led immersion weekends at the University of Cambridge (UK).
I am a DELF examiner and am therefore able to help you prepare for the exam.
Using a textbook is the basis but I attach importance to using authentic documents in class (written or audio documents and short videos). Oral and communication are always important parts of the courses and it is easier to learn by talking about your interests. A large part of the course is devoted to it.
Everyone has different ways of learning. Private lessons allow me to adapt to you and your needs so that your goals are achieved as effectively as possible.
Good humor and a sense of humor are mandatory in my classes!!
