Private French lessons: beginner to advanced

From 32.21 € /h

I am a Master 2 student in clinical psychology at the University of Geneva. I had the chance to gain experience with children aged 7 to 15 in helping with homework and learning the French language. I want to put my free time to good use and continue to share my knowledge with others.

Passionate about school and "alternative" education, my classes are oriented towards a less "academic" method and promote student learning through direct experimentation, the proposal of books, films, and immersion exercises.

About Me

I am a student in Psychology, I recently obtained my Bachelor in this field.
I followed my higher studies in Lille (France) after obtaining my Baccalaureate (Economic and Social Sciences) at the International Institute of Lancy (Geneva)

I learned more during my studies on learning methods and educational systems, which is why I always promote the freedom of the student to learn as he wishes and to favor a less "academic learning system. ".

I especially highlight the interindividual differences, each student is different and will assimilate in a different way the information that will be brought to him. Listening and adaptation are my main assets!

I hold British and French nationalities and speak both languages (and Spanish). I am specialised in teaching French as a foreign language (literature and grammar). I am a very adaptable and enthusiastic person. I have a TEFLA certificate (for teaching English) and a CEFLE certificate (for teaching French). I have worked in different organisations, such as the Alliance Française (Cusco, Peru), ARA ( Geneva) and given private lessons to adults, adolescents and children. I am familiar with the Swiss and French education systems. I am very curious and like to discover new cultures and to share mine. I like to go to concerts and the opera. I have good language and teaching skills and can provide recommendations on request. Thanks Anastassja

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!

Serious, caring, motivated, involved, pedagogue and punctual, I am very involved in the success of each of my students to allow them to progress and am available to answer their questions or those of their parents even outside the hours of course. I offer a personalized pedagogical accompaniment and aims at transmitting effective and proven working methods. I also seek to empower and empower students, to give them the confidence they need, and to be demanding so that they succeed.

I have been teaching for more than 20 years in Geneva(Organizations/Group courses/Preparation for Delf etc..) at all levels and for the past years I have specialized in Survival modules and exam preparation for Fide exam( required for permit B/ C and citizenship) Usually I come to student's home and we have 1 or 2 lessons of 1h30 peer week depending on their needs and focus..As I am teaching between Geneva and Nyon, I am more in favor of meeting the students at their home.

The technology to improve your French. Classes with a certified native teacher.

Hello Bonjour!
I am a native French teacher and a graduate in French Philology since 2012. I have 10 years of experience in Belgium and abroad. I offer online classes using a method that I have developed over the years, specifically for online classes.

*My method:*
-During class we focus on speaking. Outside of class, I will send you exercises that I will correct every week (grammar, conjugation, writing...).
-I use a particular technique based on questions/answers to apply the grammar when speaking.
-I use the verbotonal method to correct pronunciation.
-You will also receive access to an application for your Smartphone (to learn the vocabulary).
-Use an interactive whiteboard.
-We will use a shared online notebook to correct your exercises and ask me your questions at any time of the day.

I offer preparation for official exams (DELF, DALF, TCF, EOI, FIDE in Switzerland...). Classes for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels. Preparation of conferences or talks for business people. Job interviews.

The class is a bit different when I work with children or teenagers. I use interactive websites and letters.

If you want a young, organized, dynamic and passionate teacher, call me or write me!

See you soon,
Laurie*

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.

My name is Nicolas, I am a French teacher and native speaker with 8 years of teaching experience.

My lessons are tailored to each student in order to achieve their personal goals and are adapted to their specific needs.

Practice is prioritised throughout the learning process in order to gain autonomy as quickly as possible. Grammar will also be covered, according to the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced learners (improvement, exam preparation: DELF, DALF, TCF);
- Professionals (business French, interview preparation).

As I am currently in Brazil, I am teaching my classes online. I will be back in Geneva in mid-December for face-to-face classes.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

I look forward to hearing from you :)

2021-2022:

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.

I can teach French, Dutch, and English, Spanish and in German, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.

Hello,

A 27-year-old student at the University of Geneva, I offer my services for tutoring and French lessons.
I have had many opportunities to accompany French-speaking or allophone students. I was also a literature teacher for 2 years in a French high school abroad (college level) and gave private FLE lessons to diplomats abroad.
My most recent experience was teaching reading to people with residence permits in France.

My courses adapt to the needs of my students. I therefore always offer a free first meeting in order to assess needs and adapt methods as best as possible.

Do not hesitate to contact me for tailor-made courses!

● All levels ● All ages (children and adults) ● Native Spanish level

👋 Hello everyone!! My name is Evelyn, I am Peruvian and my native language is Spanish. Currently, I live in Geneva where I am pursuing my master's degree. Teaching languages is my passion, and I have extensive experience teaching Spanish to students of all ages and levels.

🎓 My teaching method is completely personalized to meet the needs and goals of each student. I use a variety of educational materials – books, videos, songs, games, and practical exercises – to make learning enjoyable and effective. The courses begin in English for clarity, then quickly transition to a conversational Spanish environment, allowing for rapid immersion and smoother learning. Each student has a personalized plan that they can review and adjust to focus on the topics most important to them. This plan is documented to track progress as well as the key points of each session.

🏠 Classes can be held in-person at your home, mine, or another agreed-upon location, including areas around France. Online classes are also available. For in-person lessons, I provide physical materials (or digital ones if preferred), and for online courses, all documents are shared via email or Google Classroom.

💬 In addition to teaching grammar and vocabulary, I focus on practical conversation to ensure that you feel comfortable and motivated to speak. My goal is to create a supportive and motivating environment to help you progress in Spanish.

🇪🇸 If you are looking for a teacher to support you in your Spanish learning journey, do not hesitate to contact me. I am here to help you reach your goals!
