Everyone has a reason to learn French :
whether you are passionate about French cuisine or literature, about our marvelous landscapes and historical patrimony in Paris and outside, or for any other reason,
whether you are studying French at high school or you have previously studied it and forgot it all,
whether you are 15 or 51,
you are right to (re)start/continue learning French, and you are welcome to my classes. As a French enthusiastic about my culture and language, I would love to share my passion while making you improve your understanding and expression in French. My classes are progressive and based on your needs and requests, and they mix language and civilisation. My aim is to help you interact with people in various situations, such as in a bar with French friends, in a professional email or even to write in French for any purpose.

Über mich
Teaching and languages are my passions.
Ever since I was little, I knew my calling was in teaching. I love sharing knowledge and methods on many subjects as it enables people to develop their own ideas and grow confident in themselves and critical. What I particularly like in teaching is that I even, as a tutor or a professor, learn from my students, develop new pedagogical tools thanks to them: therefore classes are really a place of shared knowledge.
As for learning new languages, I believe it helps us connect to native people in a way which wouldn't be possible otherwise. I particularly noticed that in France, the country in which I grew up. Today, I can speak French, English, Italian and I began learning Japanese.
Bildung
I currently study in the General Course in London School of Economics.
At the end of the year, I will graduate at Sciences Po Paris where I followed a Bachelor in Economics and Societies.
Erfahrung / Qualifikationen
My experience in teaching has been large, from private philosophy classes on zoom during lockdown to lessons in French and History/Geography for Year 10 French students in order to prepare them for their "Brevet" (French GSCE), from tutoring students in microeconomics at Sciences Po to holding debate and public speaking workshops in high school. This has helped me develop an individualized approach to offer the best classes as possible to students.

ONE TO ONE
You come to my home or we can meet ‘on-line’ as I can offer fully Skyped facilities with webcam visual contact.
You will make fast progress, not only because the lessons are intensive and tailored to your needs and as sole student, there is no one to hold you back.
You will receive structured homework to increase your progress. This can account for up to 20% of overall learning.
I assess and aim to cater for your needs, whether beginner, intermediate or advanced level.

GROUP ‘EXAM BUSTING’ SESSIONS
Several students learning together is a most effective way of bringing an added dimension to the class. Students in partnership often form a strong bond, motivating each other, and working well together.
Six is my suggested maximum as it is vital to keep the tuition as intensive as possible.
We practice written, listening and oral exam papers and can also iron out any grammar or vocabulary issues that are relevant to the particular exam at the appropriate level.

MY APPROACH TO TUTORING
I carefully assess where my students have gaps in their knowledge and then build on closing them through grammar and vocabulary. I therefore give my students the building blocks to create their own sentences in writing and speech.
I work with their text books but also provide my own material to make lessons more interesting. I also use interactive material as well as focussing on past papers and oral exams to help gain confidence in the language.
I engage well with all my students and make the lessons enjoyable and less like an extension of school.
My conversation classes with adults are always fast-paced and fun, and my students very quickly widen their vocabulary and gain confidence in the new language.

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.
