Mastering the essentials: French Grammar Foundation & Structural Mastery

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 26 € /h

Unlock the logic of French with a pragmatic, academic, and engaging approach.
As an Economics student, I view grammar as the "infrastructure" of language—once the foundation is solid, everything else flows with ease. This course is specifically designed for those who want to move beyond memorization and truly understand how the French language works.
What you will achieve in this course:
• The Building Blocks: Mastery of core sentence structures, essential verb conjugations, and the nuances of gender and number.
• The "Why" Behind the Rules: I don't just teach you what to say; I teach you why it’s said that way, making it easier to remember.
• Academic Excellence: We utilize "gold standard" references like Bled and Bescherelle to ensure your grammar is flawless for exams or professional dissertations.
• Pragmatic Application: We bridge the gap between textbook rules and real-life conversation through reading comprehension and writing exercises.

My Adaptive Method:
I believe every student is unique. Whether I am teaching my young nephews (3rd-grade level) or fellow university students, I adapt my pace and patience to your specific needs. Each first session begins with a diagnostic level test and a goal-setting discussion so I can design a roadmap that works specifically for you.
Whether you are a beginner looking for the basics or an intermediate learner needing to polish your writing, this course provides the structure, enthusiasm, and clarity you need to speak and write French with absolute confidence.

Extra information

Please bring a notebook and any specific school syllabi or exam topics you are currently working on. For our first session, be prepared for a short, friendly diagnostic test so we can pinpoint exactly where to start your journey!

About Me

French Tutor | Academic Success, Professional Fluency & Kid-Friendly Learning

Hello, I'm Alexandre!
By day, I'm an Economics student navigating the worlds of international trade, geopolitics, social welfare, and complex research. By passion, I am a French language enthusiast dedicated to helping others master the art of communication.
Whether you are a parent looking for a patient mentor for your child or a professional aiming for high-level fluency, I bring a mix of academic rigor and real-world pragmatism to every session.

Why My Approach Works
I don't believe in "cookie-cutter" teaching. Every brain works differently, and my job is to find the specific "key" that unlocks your potential.
• Experience & Patience: My teaching journey started at home with my nephews and students as young as 3rd grade. I know how to adapt my energy to keep a child engaged while maintaining the patience to go at their specific pace.
• The Diagnostic First Step: We start every journey with a Welcome Session. This includes a friendly level assessment and a deep dive into your goals. I then design a bespoke roadmap tailored only for you.
• Academic "Gold Standards": For those focused on exams, I utilize the Bled and Bescherelle series, the absolute bibles of French grammar, to ensure my students achieve flawless technical mastery.

My standard assessment structure covers all bases:
• Text Analysis & Reading Comprehension
• Structured Writing Exercises
• Listening & Speaking Mastery

My Method: Pragmatic, Modern, and Fun
Let's be honest: nobody learns a language by just staring at a whiteboard. My method is built on immersion and expression:
• Real-Life Content: We analyze news, podcasts, and shows to learn how French is actually spoken today.
• The "Mastery" Focus: I emphasize the ease of expressing complex ideas. Whether it's a dissertation or a business presentation, I help you find the right words.
• Interactive Tools: I provide curated tutorial links and digital resources to keep the momentum going between our lessons.

Tailored Tracks for Every Level
• The Foundation (Beginners & Kids): We focus on the “Building Blocks”: grammar, vocabulary, and verbs—using kid-friendly materials and plenty of encouragement.
• The Bridge (Intermediate): We move into "Applied French": heavier grammar, reading comprehension, and structured writing to build stamina.
• The Mastery (Advanced & Professional): “The Expert Level”. We focus on nuance, high-level presentations, and debating complex topics (like my favorite: social inequality!).

The "Alexandre" Guarantee
Language is about confidence. My goal isn't just to help you pass a test; it's to help you feel "at home" in the French language. Whether we meet online or one-on-one, you can expect a professional environment fueled by genuine enthusiasm and a touch of fun.

Ready to start? Let's book your diagnostic session and see what we can achieve together!

Mastering the French Essay: Structure, Logic, and Persuasion

30 € /h

Learn to think, structure, and write like a scholar.
In the French academic system, the "Dissertation" is the ultimate test of intelligence. As an Economics student accustomed to synthesizing complex research papers, I help students move beyond simple writing to master the art of structured argumentation.
What your child will master:
• Text Analysis: Learning how to extract core ideas and "read between the lines" of complex documents.
• The Art of the Plan: Building the classic French "Plan Dialectique" (Thèse-Antithèse-Synthèse) with mathematical precision.
• Academic Style: Elevating vocabulary and using logical connectors to create a professional flow.
• Methodology: Using the Bled for orthography and specific academic frameworks to ensure top marks in school exams (DELF/DALF/Bac).

French in the Real World: News, Media, and Fluent Conversation

30 € /h

Stop "studying" French and start living it.
Tired of dry textbooks? Language is a living tool meant for expression. This course is for students who want to bridge the gap between classroom grammar and the French spoken on the streets of Paris or Brussels.
The Program:
• Media Immersion: We use real news articles, podcasts (like InnerFrench), and shows to build cultural intuition.
• Confidence Building: Focused on "ease of expression", learning how to explain your ideas even when you lack a specific word.
• Modern Vocabulary: Learning the idioms and expressions used in contemporary society.
• Interactive Tools: I provide curated tutorial links to supplement our conversations.

Why it works:
My method is pragmatic. Whether you are a beginner (kid-friendly materials included!) or a medium-level learner, we use topics that passion you (Geopolitics, Culture, Sports) to make the language stick.

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
