Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

I have lived for 7 years in a small village in Ardèche near Valence, after having spent 12 years in Berlin, where I taught French as a Foreign Language to an audience (level ranging from A1 to B2)
rich and varied (children, teenagers, adults, seniors) in different establishments (schools, colleges, high schools, companies, French Institute, popular universities, technical... Alliance française (1 year spent in Mexico)...
I now have almost 20 years of experience in this exciting profession! I use different methods, favoring French songs in class (highly recommended for learning vocabulary and good pronunciation!), but also various fun media (Games, Videos, etc.) to learn grammar and conjugation while having fun!
Since 2020, I have been teaching French to groups of various nationalities at the Cefora training center. Depending on the level, I provide literacy and conversation classes, and prepare learners for the DILF and DELF diplomas (A1, A2, B1, B2). I also offer private lessons for all ages! A la carte! According to needs and desires!
Currently I offer online learning through fun interactive content on everyday situations, in dialogues adapted to the level, requirements and needs of each person! to prepare your stay in France, professional or leisure.
Come and discover and enrich the language of Molière with Elodie!

I would be happy for you to call me!

Learn French the way it’s truly spoken — with clarity, emotion, and purpose.
In my classes, you’ll go beyond textbooks to develop real conversational skills and a deeper connection with French culture.

You’ll learn to:
• 💬 Speak naturally in everyday and professional situations
• 🗣️ Improve pronunciation and listening comprehension
• 📚 Strengthen your grammar through real examples and dialogue
• 🎨 Discover French culture, idioms, and expressions that bring the language to life

As a native French speaker who has studied and lived in France, I’ll guide you through French in a way that’s structured, practical, and encouraging.
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your fluency, I’ll help you gain the confidence to think and express yourself like a true Francophone.

Let’s make French not just a language you learn — but a culture you live.

I like to use different methods to teach French to students. It can be through songs, drama, role play or videos. I also very often use situations close to the student's experience, such as describing places they have been or talking about what they have experienced. At the same time, I teach the grammar rules to the student. I now live in regions where French has been spoken for over 30 years. Because I have learned French myself (and I am still learning other languages), I can easily put myself in a student's shoes. I can teach in French, Dutch, English, German and Russian.

Each lesson is fully personalized to your level, goals, and specific needs (exams, immigration, work, studies, administrative procedures).

Sessions can focus on:
- DELF, DALF, and TCF exam preparation (practice tests, methodology, assessment criteria, oral and written simulations)
- French for immigration and naturalization
- Administrative French (forms, letters, understanding official documents)
-Professional and business French (emails, meetings, interviews, industry-specific vocabulary)
-Improving speaking skills, pronunciation, and fluency
-Strengthening grammar and vocabulary in context

The lessons are dynamic, structured, and interactive, with a strong emphasis on speaking practice. I use authentic materials: exam topics, administrative documents, articles, videos, and professional dialogues.

Thanks to my experience as an oral exam jury member and as a DELF, DALF, and TCF examiner, I will help you understand exactly what examiners expect and adopt the right strategies to succeed.

Regular follow-up is provided, with clear objectives and detailed feedback to track your progress and build confidence.

Welcome :)

My name is Hamed (حمد), and I come from Syria. My passion lies in the art of writing, and I work as an author. It gives me great joy to teach my mother tongue and to help others learn how to read and write it.

In my course, we will dive in together and discover the fascination of the Arabic language. We will take the time to determine your personal language level so that the course can be adapted accordingly. Whether you are a beginner or already have advanced knowledge, we will work with exercises and activities tailored to your individual needs.

Together, we will embark on a journey in which we explore not only the language, but also the culture and diversity of the Arab world. I look forward to welcoming you to my course and learning and growing together with you.
Let us come together and experience the beauty of the Arabic language!

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

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 teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

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.

I am a Translator-Interpreter and have worked in marketing for an American Petroleum Company for 25 years.
My knowledge of languages was very crucial. After my husband's premature death I did replacements but after a while I started giving private language lessons. I spoke French until I was six.

A graduate in Germanic languages, I have been a secondary school English/German teacher since 2021 and a private tutor since 2017.

I offer lessons, but my main goal is to empower you to become independent in learning French, and languages in general. I don't aim for the level of success you think you're in, but rather the excellence you allow yourself to achieve. My ultimate goal: that you no longer need me.
Each lesson is prepared in advance. I never arrive empty-handed.
