Step by step with the French language; new ways to learn this language

From 30 € /h

Qui suis-je? I'm Nicole. You can contact me for courses, tutoring, homework assistance and exam training in the French language.

Do you want to prepare your child for French lessons in the first year? Then I offer the opportunity to get acquainted with this language. Much of the communication in such a lesson is in French, but for children who are just starting I give explanations in Dutch. The main thing is that children enjoy learning the language. That is why games are also played in class. Topics can be 'greeting someone' 'telling something about yourself, naming colors, etc.

France is a popular holiday destination for many Dutch people. However, it can sometimes be difficult if you want to order a baguette or croissant and in the event of a breakdown on the road you will first have to call in a 'dépanneur' who will tow the car to a nearby garage, because France does not have a roadside assistance service. Google translate then seems useful, but a translation machine knows no grammar and interpreting the context of a word is also not possible. "I have a breakdown with my car" translates as "Je n'ai pas de chance avec ma voiture". Now a garage owner can conclude from that that you have problems with the car, but you make yourself better understood by saying: "Notre voiture est en panne."
Even if you are considering buying a house in France, you can take a course to overcome a language barrier.

Learning French is a new challenge. This language has its own rules and they are not always logical. There are many ways to learn the French language and you can always find one that suits you. But how do you know what suits you? I will discuss this with you prior to a tutoring session. With extra explanation and targeted exercises I help you to get better in the French language. But I also look at how you learn the material and I give you tips to learn smarter. Of course I provide variety with the help of French material, just think of songs, film fragments and reading a piece from the most famous newspapers such as 'Le Figarot' and 'Le Monde'.

I am an enthusiastic French teacher and, in addition to experience in secondary school, I have years of experience in teaching French face-to-face or in mini groups. My goal is to give students that support so that they understand the material and get good grades again. I base this on the lesson and learning material they provide and supplement this with supporting exercises. I teach students from the age of 11.
For adults, I offer you French courses and lessons, for both business and private purposes, at your pace and as it suits you best in private lessons. Alone or in small groups of a maximum of 4 people with an experienced teacher of FLE, français langue étrangère, you benefit from a small-scale learning environment with a lot of personal attention, intensive supervision and in good alignment with your expectations.
All skills can be practiced, reading, writing, listening, speaking and interacting. I also pay attention to correct pronunciation, so that your listening skills also greatly improve
As aids there are images, videos, texts to listen and read, chansons. The lessons always include a topic from French current affairs or culture.

I am a first degree French teacher and have lived and worked in England for 11 years. I have a lot of experience teaching young people in secondary education as well as adults.

My goal is to help you on your way and to support you with good explanation, patience and humor. When you are in school you have your own book. We treat that subject matter during the tutoring. I also have a lot of extra practice material to practice grammar or texts, for example.

I passed the IB diploma program for Biology Standard Level with full marks, I also received a 7 on my Internal Assessment (IA). I have a very good grasp on what the IB expects from it's students (all the weird and wonderful little criteria.) I have a very good grasp on Biology the subject itself, as it was one of my favorite classes and I understand the concepts on a broader and more minute scale, so I can help students to understand the topics as well as the specifics and how they all play into one another. I aim to provide students with not just the memorization of information in a somewhat robotic sense, but an actual understanding and comfortable grasp on all the topics, ideas and concepts. I can help with any homework or course work provided, including providing feedback and guidance on essays and assignments. I also like to set out extra homework (not difficult, just based on our sessions) to get back to me at the next meeting so that the student's confidence and grasp on the subjects continues to build and I can see where exactly they need assistance.

NB: prior to our meetings, if possible, I would appreciate being sent whatever course work or topics the student is currently doing in class (or the syllabus, in the best case scenario) in order to best maximize my planning and ability to assist.

For 40 years I taught, among other things, in Dutch.
Of course I prepare the lesson well on the basis of the material you provide.
Normally a lesson lasts an hour, but if you want it can be longer or shorter.
I taught grammar school to grammar school students and they got a 9.
You want that too!!

Dear language lovers,

WHAT I OFFER
I provide French and English lessons for all levels and domains,whether business, academic, social, or simply for the joy of learning a rich and fascinating language. I can help you develop your reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills in both French and English. From grammar and syntax to vocabulary enrichment, I use a personalized, pedagogical approach based on your individual needs and shared learning goals we define together.

MY EXPERIENCE
As a native French speaker, I know the beauty and poetry of the language inside and out, and I’m excited to share it with anyone curious to dive in. Since high school, I’ve offered private tutoring to students aged 10 to 17, helping them with everything from grammar worksheets and book reviews to philosophy essays and creative writing assignments.

As for English, I was raised in an international school environment where English was a core part of my education from childhood through high school. I earned my TOEFL certificate before beginning my current bachelor’s studies, which are entirely in English. I've also taught English with a focus on pronunciation, grammar, syntax, and practical communication skills.

TUTORING SET-UP
When tutoring, I place strong emphasis on tracking progress, often by assigning homework (if agreed upon) and creating clear, structured plans to help students stay on track. I’m always flexible and happy to adapt to each learner’s feedback and preferences to make lessons as enjoyable and engaging as possible.

I offer lessons online or in person—either at my place or yours. Thanks to my bilingual upbringing (with a German mother) and my French-German high school diploma (AbiBac), I can also provide instruction in German if needed.

Looking forward to sharing the joy of language learning with you!
