"Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things." Flora Lewis
Graduated with a Master, I have more than ten years of experience in the teaching of French as a foreign language, both in France and abroad.
Working in different places provided me with extensive experience and knowledge of various methodologies, textbooks and approaches to teaching. I created a lot of ressources for my students and different language academies. My experience has lead me to write a french book En route pour le fle thanks to the Ellipses’ edition.
During my career, I created a lot of ressources to help students in their learning journey. Since 2014, I am specialized in teaching online offering live and direct classes but also creating interactive lessons and exercices.
Passionate with foreign languages and cultural exchanges, I consider that teaching french allows me, above all, to learn a lot about my own mother language but also gives me access to a new vision of the world. Thanks to my job, I had the opportunity to teach to students from all ages and from 15 different countries. My experiences in other countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Syria or Palestine) made me student of foreign languages too like spanish and arabic.
Concomitantly with teaching to student, I train future french teachers so that I can share my experience and skills.
Being a personal tutor online is one of the greatest experience because it makes me travel through my screen and meet very special people. I really enjoy this way of teaching and its advantages. I consider Internet as the best tool for communication for classes.
My methodology
Actually, i do not consider myself as a teacher but as a guide or a coach. I had the opportunity to work with more than 500 students and I can assure you that YOU make the best part of the job. You will have to work (hard) to succeed communicate fluently in french! I do not promise you will learn fast and easily but I do promise that you will learn and progress since the very first lesson. To learn a language is a journey through a whole culture and I am convinced it is a pleasure. Just get the motivation and I will lead you to the knowledges and savoir-faires.
You probably know you can not be an athlete or a musician without training. It is the same to be a speaker. Patience, constance and motivation are your tools to get it. Of course, I am here to cheer you up when you need it or to help you in any part you need. Do not hesitate to contact me for any doubt or question: contact@frenchclass.eu
The learning program
In general, during the class, we work on the 4 main skills: oral and written comprension + oral and written expression but we use to focus on oral communication. After a (free) trial class, I build a personal training program that fits to your needs , your objectives and your way to learn.
During and after the class, I invite you to read and leisten uthentic documents (press articles, extracts from movies, songs, extract from novel, poems…)
I am proud to share with you some feedbacks I received from former students:
