Native French tutor for fun & interactive lessons online or in Edinburgh !

French is a very useful language that you may want to learn for work, for holidays, to talk with people you know, or just for fun! It is also known to be difficult... But I will make it easy for you!

With me you will learn French in a fun, interactive way, with courses customised to your level and goals. All aspects of the language can be covered : speaking, understanding, reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Lessons are pretty structured but very flexible to adapt to your progression and your particular goals.

Highly trained in memory techniques and learning strategies, I can also provide easy-to-mermorise contents as well as memorisation and learning advice.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish. I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice. During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps. And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level. Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.
