    Write like Victor Hugo: French writing rules & tips

    Learning outcome: write in French with clarity and structure.
    My motto: learning by doing! As French people say “C’est en forgeant qu’on devient forgeron!” (Litterally: “It is by forging that one becomes a blacksmith!”).

    Tailored for each student’s personal challenges, the class is structured as follows:
    >1st session: Assessment of the learner’s level and design of the learning roadmap.
    >Before class: write a text from 10 to one page on a topic on history, art or science.
    >In-class: text correction and improvement indications.
    I work mainly with visual sketches, mind maps, drafts and graphs to provide the learner with insights on the way motivation and memory work.

    Covered during classes:
    >French grammar: conjugation, spelling, syntax.
    >Develop the French writing method:
    -the different sentence structures;
    -the structure of a paragraph (phrase d'annonce - développement logique - phrase récapitulative - transition)
    -the 3-paragraph convention (introduction/développement/conclusion)
    -logical argumentation and critical thinking according to French culture

    About Me

    I'm the creative type: I've been a huge fan of LEGOs for many years, I'm passionate about board games, role games and quest games (treasure hunts, escape games,...). I'm also passionate about teaching and continuously improving my methods. Opening myself to new cultures and learning new languages is another passion of mine: these tutoring classes are an opportunity for me to immerse in Finnish culture and the Finnish language (I speak Spanish, the basics of Lebanese and Chinese).

    When I was a kid - I'm now 25 - my parents said of me that I was messy and that I lack structure and rigour. Now that I've finished my graduate studies, I can tell that nothing is set in stone: I have a keen sense of detail when it comes to writing, no matter the language. Picking the right word for the right idea is crucial and makes all the difference at school and at work.

    I have taught in university for 1st-year students and I have been doing tutoring in French, history, art history, english and math for more than 1 year now. Most of my students have a STEM profile. Their main challenge is to get the logic behind writing a text and learn to develop their ideas: most often, they go straight to the point (A>B>C). They develop their idea as they would demonstrate the validity of a theorem.

    Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
    Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
