French lessons (tutoring, conversation, French as a foreign language, grammar, spelling, literature, essay course)

From 73 $ /h

A certified trainer, I offer tailor-made French lessons, that is to say according to the needs of each learner (conversation, grammar, written French, preparation for exams, etc.). I also give tutoring courses to pupils schooled in Switzerland.

During the first meeting with the learner, we set the learning objectives together. Over the lessons, I adapt the program according to the difficulties and specific requests of the learner. The tools I use promote independence. I give homework after each lesson and regularly provide reports on progress and areas for improvement.

In order to facilitate learning, I try to always speak French with the learner. In case of misunderstanding, I will gladly explain in English, German, Italian or Spanish.

Looking forward to reading you.

About Me

Passionate about languages, I have been giving private lessons in French, German and English for almost twenty years. In my opinion, learning languages is not only a way to open up to other cultures, but it is also a very effective activity to keep your brain in shape.

I constantly adapt my courses to the needs and demands of learners, whether they are children, adolescents or adults. The tools I use promote autonomy and creativity.

During the first lesson, the learner and I agree on the learning objectives and the rules of life in order to establish a climate of trust and benevolence. For better follow-up, I usually give homework after each lesson and write reports on the progress made.

Patient, dynamic and smiling, I train regularly to enrich my lessons. Having grown up and worked in the canton of Geneva, I know the Geneva school system and economic fabric very well. Finally, I welcome any constructive comments and suggestions from you.

Practice leads to perfection

Unless you learned to speak French when you were a child, it is difficult when you don't speak it fluently to pass for a French speaker. However, this does not prevent you from learning to speak it correctly, because it is well known that a language spoken with a foreign accent is an asset of seduction! Although it may seem complicated, learning a new language is always fun and beneficial, so it is important to practice as much as possible and above all not to give up. Take every opportunity you are given to speak the language and listen to French as soon as possible. And remember: practice leads to perfection!

I start with the basics of French, whether it be the sounds of letters, the different ways of writing the same sound and my ability to be able to communicate in the person's mother tongue allows them to assimilate the differences more quickly compared to his mother tongue.

The person comes with their lesson or homework. We work on grammar, vocabulary, conjugation, comprehension when reading. We can also complete various administrative forms and corrections of letters and/or texts.

Possibility of coming to your home, to be agreed during our first contact which will necessarily be made by webcam.

Hello !

I offer French lessons in the form of individualized support adapted to your learning project, based on a bond of trust and kindness, so that everyone can learn serenely.

I like to teach by emphasizing lively and interactive sessions (in the form of interactions, video or film extracts, reading, etc.) which makes learning less boring!

The idea is first of all to (re)gain confidence and to find together the right method(s) of learning and memorization for everyone, because it is sometimes hard to find your way around. in the intense rhythm of school/professional life!

Whether you need support, to consolidate particular subjects, to start from "zero" or need to perfect your practice, do not hesitate to write to me so that we can develop the follow-up that would suit you best!

Nice to meet you !

I am in my third year of secondary school, specializing in bilingual English. I am currently studying abroad in Geneva, which gives me considerable availability until June. I completed a year of language exchange in Canada, where I taught French to elementary school students at my school. I achieved a 5.4/6 average at the beginning of the academic year. I would like to help you prepare effectively for the common exams.
