I am French native speaker and a qualified teacher with a PGDE in Primary teaching from Strathclyde University, Glasgow. I have always been passionate about languages, learning and traveling. Since moving to Denmark in 2016, I have been working as a supply teacher for the Lycée français in Frederiksberg, International School of Hellerup and Berlitz Denmark. From these three places, I learned many different methods of teaching and learning French, from young children right up to adults.
My motivation comes from seeing my students making progress from Day 1 and building confidence as we go. On the first lesson we will discuss your learning needs: why are you learning French ? I will then establish a learner profile by trying to find out how do you learn the best: do you prefer grammar to be taught formally and explicitly or would you rather learn grammar through patterns ? Are you a visual learner or do you remember best by listening ? Do you like to work with a method or would you rather learn with topics interesting you ?
A typical lesson is 50 minutes. We start with a learning objective, e.g. to order a meal in a restaurant ; to express agreement or disagreement ; to talk about your professional projects. We then have a presentation phase: using a mix of questions, videos, images, texts, I will present some new words or grammar points that we will practice step by step. You will be speaking a lot during these two stages ! The last two steps are a task and a review. The task is a longer exercise where you get to practice the key learning points in depth and during the review we discuss how you feel the lesson went.
