I could teach you how to review your texts before sending, to understand copy correction, the job of a copy preparer and that of a proofreader. You will be taught the rules in force, and you will often be asked to perform exercises in order to practice correction as best as possible, if that is what you wish.

About Me

Hello everyone !
I live in Paris and I am doing a Master's program in Publishing, learning how to be a literary agent and deal with foreign rights.
As I have a little sister and a littler brother (18 and 17) to whom I teach their classes, I could easily teach you anything :)

Education

I have studied at the University Sorbonne-Nouvelle in Paris during my two first years for an English literature program.
I have done an international exchange at the University of Bristol, in England, during my third year.
At the moment, I am doing a Master's program in Publishing at the University Sorbonne Paris Nord, Villetaneuse. I am also working at a literary agency as a foreign rights manager (I sell the adaptation rights of francophone books to international clients: translation rights, audio or film/TV rights for example) .

Experience / Qualifications

I was assistant editor in a publishing house for an internship during my first year at uni - if you need help with translation, here I am ! I am working in a literary agency, and I also was giving French courses in a tutoring center.

Melinda is fabulous! I wanted to have a conversation in French with Melinda, and for her to correct my errors and supply vocabulary that I needed. That's exactly what Melinda did. And she is a very interesting & caring person who is enjoyable to talk with. Note that she has an accent on the "e" in her name, but I can't make the accent mark on this website.
Great first session, structured and well prepared.
Mélinda is an excellent teacher. She adapted her lessons to my needs, she is very patient and she explains very well. I am very happy with the lessons I take with her.

It was a great experience to learn French with Melinda.
I had a great first lesson with Mélinda. She was super organised and explained everything really well!

Dear learners, I am French, I master the language as it is my native language and I studied French literature as well as English literature, a language I speak too. I studied in England for nine months and could teach you the language the way I’ve learned it: happily and without much difficulty. I would be pleased to teach young students but also adults, wether you are a beginner or intermediate. Contact me :)

Grammar, reading and pronunciation of French language for foreigners
Recently graduated with a bachelor's degree from Pole Superieur Conservatory of Paris and Sorbonne University, I would like to teach French to foreigners (especially those whose native language is Albanian or English), living or working in Paris. I also have a DELF diploma in the French language (the one recognized by the state to study in any French university). My goal is to keep students challenged and progressing while their living in the country. I assign homework after every session and provide periodic progress reports. I can teach from English or Albanian towards French

Private French and grammar lessons for middle or high school students
Hello, I am currently a second year master's student in comparative literature at Sorbonne University (Parsi IV). I also completed a DESS in Teaching French as a Second Language (FLE). This year I am preparing for the teaching competitions (CAPES, Agrégation de Lettres Modernes). I have been giving private lessons for three years now, allowing me to gain experience day by day. I also gave FLE lessons to students and adults as part of two linguistic services (CREIPAC and Groupe LDL). I give Grammar, English and French lessons to those needing academic support in these subjects. Concerning my course in English, I completed a Preparatory Class for Grandes Ecoles (hypokhâgne/khâgne) which allowed me to acquire a C1 level in English. I can therefore teach the basics of language in production, expression and comprehension. My lessons will adapt to the student's expectations. We will start from its difficulties to move towards new notions of grammar, conjugation and literary culture. These private lessons can be accompanied by homework help and in-depth study of the subjects covered in class. I listen to the student and the family to understand the specific needs of each.

English Tutoring for Adults - Beginners to Advanced
Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual. My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to: . Develop and widen their vocabulary; . Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview; . Gain confidence in spoken English; . Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors. After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

Brigitte
Individualized German Online Tutoring for Business, School and Private
I am currently teaching German on a one on one base through individualized online teaching via zoom or any other online platform. I teach German grammar as well as conversational German and German for business and/or research. Please don't hesitate contact me to find out more about my teachings by asking questions and letting me know about your goals and concerns. I not only speak German as my mother tongue, but I also have excellent English skills and have taught adults and children in Japan, the USA and France. While living in Japan, I taught English to biologists of a biotech-company. For this purpose, I prepared current newspaper articles corresponding to the interests of the students and the teaching objectives for the classes. In class, the students and I used these articles to study the language, discuss the vocabulary and grammar as well as the language style used. In New York, I did not teach a language, but fashion design at the University (FIT Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC) for several years. All classes were taught in English with the student body consisting of international students, which required detailed preparation of the class. At the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI), also in NYC, I taught fashion design and creation to students grade 9 - 12. Here too, the lessons were exclusively taught in English. For my teachings, I developed daily detailed lesson plans to not only make sure that the predetermined class goals were easily reached, but also to ensure that the class content was tailored to the students' needs and that a positive learning climate was promoted.

Audrey
French lessons with a french native for all levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
My name is Audrey! I'm a student in international relations and Chinese foreign languages at INALCO. Because of my studies and having traveled a lot, I know how difficult it can be to learn a foreign language and how difficult it can be to overcome certain levels. That's why I offer you my help! I am a French native from Poitou Charente in the west of France and I studied in Paris. I now live in Taiwan (Taipei). For several years, I have been teaching French to children and adults of all levels. I have accompanied Koreans, Iranians, British, etc. My goal is that you enjoy learning French and reach your goals. The course will be totally personalized and adapted to your needs and interests. I will also introduce you to the French culture during our lessons (current events, highlights of the year, etc.) because in order to learn a language you need to understand the culture of the country. My classes will focus on the five skills: speaking, writing, listening, reading, and grammar. Of course, if you wish to work on only one aspect in particular, this will be possible. We can use the material you have or we can also work with the resources I have. At your request and according to your needs I can give you homework to continue your efforts outside of our classes. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to discuss with you your expectations, your goals, and my work method. I look forward to helping you in your quest to master the French language. See you soon!

Learn French and its subtleties. Homework help in all subjects.
After a long career in marketing and communication, I turned to teaching oenology for future professionals and adults. I like teaching the French language and spelling to children (French or who are native of a non-French speaking country) so that they master its writing and speaking... An essential basis for personal and professional life at come.

Private French language lessons for all levels
Student of Scientific Terminal offers help for school work in French during this particular period. My goal is to be as attentive as possible to your expectations and I will be completely able to adapt. I benefit from a great experience and have already been able to support many pupils of all ages (CE1, CM2, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd) whether it is for a particular subject or for more general help or simply to help motivation and confidence of the young person. I am also used to helping the students in my class in their understanding. I have always appreciated French and literature a lot and obtained excellent marks in this subject in the baccalaureate last year (19 oral and 20 written). It can also take the form of learning French as a foreign language. Having learned four foreign languages myself, I am passionate about this objective and will take great pleasure in helping you achieve it. Feel free to contact me for more information !
