    English classes for schoolchildren, students, French-speaking adults, French conversation classes for foreigners.

    I specialize in teaching French and English. My aim is for my students to be as fluent as possible and to enjoy speaking a foreign language. I give homework assignment after each lesson. I encourage as much conversation as possible in both English and French. The main criterion for me is to enjoy expressing oneself in a language in order to overcome the fear of speaking. The aim is to enjoy speaking and feel more and more at ease as you progress. I try to teach as lively as possible.

    About Me

    I've been teaching for 40 years now. I taught English and French in secondary schools.
    And now, I teach English at a business school to students in BTS, Bachelor's and
    Master's programmes. The sections I teach are : Communication, Management, Small and
    medium-sized enterprises, Negotiation and digital customer relations.

    I set up my private French and English lessons in 1985. That's forty years of experience in the field of tutoring. In addition to my traditional school teaching, I have taught French conversation to foreigners. My aim was to make them fluent. And I've had good results. Most of them speak French fluently now.

    I've learnt from experience that, to learn a language, you have to learn to love it. You love it when you want to speak it fluently and practise it in its country of origin.You must also
    love a certain way of being and living of the people who speak it. This is called culture or
    civilisation.

    I like students who are interested in English history and civilisation. There are, of course, no prerequisites, no preconditions. I also work a lot on grammar and vocabulary, necessary for clear and well-constructed expression, and I give regular exercises to do after each lesson.

    However, I always have in mind the desire to guide my students towards everyday practice, which, later on, will enable them to feel at ease in the country where it is spoken.

    A language is alive. It is the result of daily practice. It certainly requires methodical learning, essential to exam succes ; but we also need to go beyond this approach.

    That's why, alongside the traditional academic work, I encourage exchange and conversation in the language being studied, with the aim of making my lessons as lively as possible.

    Education

    Après des études secondaires au Lycée Berthollet à Annecy, France, et l'obtention de mon baccalauréat, j'ai suivi une formation à Vevey, Suisse, dans une école de langues et travaillé avec un tuteur anglais, diplômé de l'université de Cambridge, pendant un an. Je me suis inscrit ensuite en licence de Français et d'anglais à la Faculté des Lettres d'Aix-en Provence. J'ai obtenu un Master en Français, Lettres Modernes, et un Master en anglais et civilisation anglaise.

    Experience / Qualifications

    En matière d'enseignement, j'ai maintenant 40 ans d'expérience. J'ai enseigné le français et l'anglais en collège , en lycée, j'ai fondé mes propres cours particuliers en 1983, j'ai travaillé au sein d'organismes spécialisés en soutien scolaire comme Acadomia,
    En matière de formation, après mon Baccalauréat, j'ai pratiqué l'anglais dans un école anglaise, en Suisse, 'j'ai obtenu un Master de Français, Lettres Modernes. et un Master d'anglais et de civilisation anglaise. J'ai passé un an à Cambridge, en Angleterre où j'ai suivi des cours en étudiant libre sur Thomas Stern Eliot et sa conception du théâtre poétique. Retourné en France, j'ai commencé à enseigner.
    I give English and English civilization lessons for French learners. Adults and schools. Academic support from sixth to final year. + commercial English BTS, Bachelor, Masters, all series. I also give support lessons in French for schoolchildren from sixth to second year inclusive. And French and French conversation courses for foreign students and adults wishing to improve their skills in this language. Above all, when it comes to my classes, particularly conversation classes in English and French, I seek to make them as lively as possible. I favor conversation, exchange in the chosen language. We study grammar and vocabulary, subsequently, on what we have said, practiced, read or commented on. I give exercises after each lesson. But these exercises are always linked to a context. I like to approach things in a lively way. It's the best way to learn and assimilate.
    Certified English teacher (Master of English and French from the faculty of Aix-en Provence,) Trainer in a higher business school, (BTS, Bachelor, Masters students), I specialize in teaching French and English for forty years. This is done with middle and high school students as well as post-baccalaureate students. I teach general and business English. But I also really like, and am increasingly specializing in, teaching French and French conversation to foreign learners who want to acquire mastery of my mother tongue. In all my classes, I encourage conversation as much as possible, both in English and in French. For me, the criterion for success is the pleasure one initially experiences in practicing a language, gradually gaining confidence. This eliminates the natural fear we have of expressing ourselves in a foreign language. I like to start with a text and stimulate conversation. I give summary tasks at the end of each lesson to establish learning. Grammar, syntax, vocabulary. Words are always learned, accompanied by their use, sometimes idiomatic, in a sentence. The sentence is taken from the context studied. We never remember words caught in the air. I try to make my classes as lively and attractive as possible.

    English learning or improvement courses
    English, beyond being the international language of business, is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is a language that brings together diverse people, from different backgrounds, cultures, and languages, enabling communication between these different parties—a crucial element in various contexts, whether traveling or at work. Moreover, today, for many recruiters, speaking English is not a bonus but almost a necessity. During the classes I give, I will not only focus on grammatical mastery of the language, but we will also work on the pronunciation and phonetics of this language. I will also suggest that we read aloud together different texts from different sources (novels, newspaper articles, etc.) allowing us to add a cultural and intellectual aspect to our language learning.
