Native French tutor for fun & interactive lessons online or in Edinburgh !

French is a very useful language that you may want to learn for work, for holidays, to talk with people you know, or just for fun! It is also known to be difficult... But I will make it easy for you!

With me you will learn French in a fun, interactive way, with courses customised to your level and goals. All aspects of the language can be covered : speaking, understanding, reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Lessons are pretty structured but very flexible to adapt to your progression and your particular goals.

Highly trained in memory techniques and learning strategies, I can also provide easy-to-mermorise contents as well as memorisation and learning advice.

Tara
French class for all levels (A-levels, GCSE, beginners, university, ...)
Student at the University of Edinburgh, I teach French to all levels in person and online. I can help with A-levels, University students, the DELF, and beginners. I have taught French to more than 10+ students from total beginners to university students doing a French degree. I can provide lessons for A-levels and IB. My methodology is personalised depending on the needs and levels of my students. Born in Paris, France, I attended an international school for 10 years, receiving a bilingual education. In that way, I was nurtured in a world where linguistics is essential. I speak Spanish, French, and English, and I have notions in Chinese. I now study History and Politics at the University of Edinburgh.

From beginners to advanced levels. Classes can be delivered virtually and they will be on the format that the student needs, I will adapt to the necessity of the student.

French Grammar, Speech and Vocabulary Tutoring with a Native French Speaker
Learning French on your own is quite a tedious task ! Whether you are a beginner, or need to prepare for an exam, this course is available for students of all levels to take on French in the most lighthearted way possible. For all my students, I believe proper french grammar and vocabulary are key tenets when learning French. Most importantly, being able to practice speaking french with a tutor is what I find to be most efficient as it develops a student's sense of confidence in the language and it's capacity to maintain a conversation !

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
