French lessons / French as a Foreign Language for adults / Conversation

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
A print journalist for 20 years, a trainer for 8 years in French as a Foreign Language and a trainer in French language proficiency in a private institution, I offer French courses for foreign / non-French-speaking adults. I am a trainer in a private institution and I have also been a volunteer in a socio-linguistic workshop for migrants since 2018 for Médecins du Monde in Toulouse. I created my French training company and I am self-employed. I live in Toulouse and I can travel in the Toulouse region and the Gers. For learners who live abroad, courses are held via Google Meet or WhatsApp.
After a first assessment which will allow us to define your needs, we will improve your knowledge of the French language and the fluidity of your conversations in French. My goal is to make your French perfectly understandable and to give you back your daily autonomy thanks to the practice of this language. I will provide you with suitable written and audio material.
We will talk a lot and in a good mood! I also speak English, Italian and Spanish when needed. I can come to your workplace during your breaks or to your home. I also offer webcam lessons.
I can also help you proofread and correct your manuscripts, internship reports, dissertations, theses as well as the writing of your administrative or professional documents. I offer refresher courses in French for adults.

If French is your mother tongue but you need a refresher in writing... Do not penalize your professional development. Let's find together the basics of the French language. Spelling, conjugation, grammar, French will find all its flavor in your writings. No more meeting minutes, activity reports or emails full of mistakes! You will regain self-confidence, and will be able to project yourself into the future to develop your professional career.
I also offer you the correction, proofreading, rewriting and reformatting of your personal or professional documents as soon as possible. A job that we will do together during the lessons.

I only had one of five lessons and it is very obvious that Mary is a very experienced teacher. I am looking forward to be learning with her.
Mary is a trained teacher, with a method that is functional to everyone's needs, which makes the lesson fun and very effective at the same time. I strongly recommend it to all those who want to learn French well and at the same time also want to learn it in a simple and fun way!

Private lessons

Shreshtha
Private one to one French tutor with personalized teaching approach
The quality of teaching has always been my first concern since I entered a classroom. The great master is someone who grows with his student. Transmitting “know-how” and “soft skills” paves the way to success. The teacher and the student are complementary and the relationship should be one of trust and faith. I am Miss Shreshtha, Mauritian, living in France with an infinite love for languages and literature. I have been a teacher for 13 years and also hold a master's degree in French with a literature specialization, I offer academic support, private lessons as well as homework help in the Colomiers / Tournefeuille / St Martin region and also online on webcam all year round. I also offer language initiation (for non-French speakers and non-English speakers). I can easily work with elementary and middle school students, high school students, students, adults and seniors. My classes normally last one hour with explanations, note-taking, homework, corrections and oral activities. I adopt a participatory and student-centered approach. I am completely bilingual (French and English) and I can perfectly help you in your acquisition of the target language whatever your initial level. Serious, responsible, dedicated and motivated, I am available immediately and will be delighted to provide you with more information on my professional background and my methodology.

Teacher for 17 years, pedagogue, patient, attentive. Progress is made through teamwork based on mutual trust. The results will be effective if the work is regular and rigorous. Miracles don't exist!

Louise
French lessons (grammar, literature, written and oral expression).
This course aims to give a better command and knowledge of the French language, its history and its literature, by adapting to the needs and desires of each one. The grammar modules will make it possible to fix the functioning of the language, and will consist of lessons and application exercises. In terms of language learning, we will work on both written and oral expression. We will also discuss pages of French literature, in order to sketch their history and make the exercise of text commentary more accessible.

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Kevin
Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, 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.
