Grammar, reading and pronunciation of French language for foreigners

Recently graduated with a bachelor's degree from Pole Superieur Conservatory of Paris and Sorbonne University, I would like to teach French to foreigners (especially those whose native language is Albanian or English), living or working in Paris. I also have a DELF diploma in the French language (the one recognized by the state to study in any French university).
My goal is to keep students challenged and progressing while their living in the country.
I assign homework after every session and provide periodic progress reports.
I can teach from English or Albanian towards French

Esther is an excellent teacher. Everything is there, the pedagogy, the intelligence of the advice, and the adaptation to the student. Everything is designed to help you progress as quickly as possible, and so the violin seems simple.

My goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life. I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University. Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone. I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.
Recently graduated with a bachelor degree from Pole Superieur conservatory of Paris and Sorbonne University, I would like to teach Albanian to foreigners(especially those who's native language is French or English), living, working in Paris or abroad. I have been teaching kids since 2017. I also have a DELF diploma of French language and TOEIC for English language My goal is to keep students challenged. I assign home-works after every session and provide periodic progress reports. I can teach from English or French towards Albanian

Private French and grammar lessons for middle or high school students
Hello, I am currently a second year master's student in comparative literature at Sorbonne University (Parsi IV). I also completed a DESS in Teaching French as a Second Language (FLE). This year I am preparing for the teaching competitions (CAPES, Agrégation de Lettres Modernes). I have been giving private lessons for three years now, allowing me to gain experience day by day. I also gave FLE lessons to students and adults as part of two linguistic services (CREIPAC and Groupe LDL). I give Grammar, English and French lessons to those needing academic support in these subjects. Concerning my course in English, I completed a Preparatory Class for Grandes Ecoles (hypokhâgne/khâgne) which allowed me to acquire a C1 level in English. I can therefore teach the basics of language in production, expression and comprehension. My lessons will adapt to the student's expectations. We will start from its difficulties to move towards new notions of grammar, conjugation and literary culture. These private lessons can be accompanied by homework help and in-depth study of the subjects covered in class. I listen to the student and the family to understand the specific needs of each.

English Tutoring for Adults - Beginners to Advanced
Hello! I have been teaching English for five years, to adults and children alike. I offer classes that are uniquely adapted to the students needs and their interests. My aim is to build my student's confidence, by following their line of inquiry — engaging in a rich, and increasingly challenging dialogue with the individual. My classes are for adults and professionals, who want to: . Develop and widen their vocabulary; . Need help preparing for an exam, a paper or an important interview; . Gain confidence in spoken English; . Attain a fluent level of spoken and written English We will begin by identifying the student's greatest interests — those subjects they are most curious about and topics that stimulate them. These topics will be "stimulators", fueling conversations and language activities that the student themselves will eventually lead. Then, we will identify the student's biggest worries regarding the English language — where they are confused, or tend to make mistakes. This will form the workshop part of the lesson, focused on overcoming tricky grammatical mistakes and revising more complex linguistic and phonetic errors. After 8 years of teaching I have found this tailored approach to be, by far, the most effective. I look forward to collaborating with you soon!

Individualized German Online Tutoring for Business, School and Private
I am currently teaching German on a one on one base through individualized online teaching via zoom or any other online platform. I teach German grammar as well as conversational German and German for business and/or research. Please don't hesitate contact me to find out more about my teachings by asking questions and letting me know about your goals and concerns. I not only speak German as my mother tongue, but I also have excellent English skills and have taught adults and children in Japan, the USA and France. While living in Japan, I taught English to biologists of a biotech-company. For this purpose, I prepared current newspaper articles corresponding to the interests of the students and the teaching objectives for the classes. In class, the students and I used these articles to study the language, discuss the vocabulary and grammar as well as the language style used. In New York, I did not teach a language, but fashion design at the University (FIT Fashion Institute of Technology, NYC) for several years. All classes were taught in English with the student body consisting of international students, which required detailed preparation of the class. At the High School of Fashion Industries (HSFI), also in NYC, I taught fashion design and creation to students grade 9 - 12. Here too, the lessons were exclusively taught in English. For my teachings, I developed daily detailed lesson plans to not only make sure that the predetermined class goals were easily reached, but also to ensure that the class content was tailored to the students' needs and that a positive learning climate was promoted.

Audrey
Help with homework, acquisition and mastery of knowledge
Hello, my name is Audrey! (English Bellow) I am a student in international relations and foreign languages (Chinese) at INALCO. My studies led me to work on many and very diverse subjects but above all to learn and quickly master many concepts and knowledge! To achieve my goals, I had to develop tips and use methods. So I know how daunting, frustrating and even impossible to achieve it can sometimes seem. Also, I propose to accompany you to help you, whatever your level (primary, college, high school, higher education), to achieve your goals without being discouraged. I had the opportunity in the past to help children and adolescents in their learning. It is true that not everyone has the same abilities or the same appetite for studies, but everyone is driven by a passion, a center of interest. Use them to learn! For instance : You or your child are passionate about music, let's create a melody to make you remember this grammar lesson on which you have been stuck for several days so that it definitely fits in your mind. Passionate about drawing? Let's create memory cards together so that you artistically memorize all the dates related to the First and Second World Wars, for example. Learning does not exclusively involve cramming, it is also and above all about understanding the content and confidence (in oneself and in one's skills)! My sessions aim to offer the student, young people a warm space in which they feel confident to learn, try and sometimes fail. Each course is unique and adapts to your needs. I am currently in Paris and I can move if necessary. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I will be happy to talk with you about your expectations, your objectives and my working method. Looking forward to help you! See you soon Hello my name is Audrey! (English Bellow) I am a student of international relations and foreign languages (Chinese) at INALCO. My studies have led me to work on many different subjects but above all to learn and master many concepts and knowledge quickly! To reach my goals, I had to develop tricks and use methods. I know how discouraging, frustrating and even impossible it can sometimes seem. So I offer to help you, whatever your level (primary, secondary, high school, university), to reach your goals without discouraging you. I have had the opportunity to help children and teenagers in their learning. It is true that not everyone has the same abilities or the same interest in studying, but everyone has a passion, an interest. Let's use them to learn! For example: You or your child are passionate about music, let's create a melody to make you remember that grammar lesson you've been stuck on for several days so that it becomes permanently embedded in your mind. Are you a drawing enthusiast? Let's create together memory cards so that you can artistically memorize all the dates linked to the First and Second World Wars for example. Learning is not only about cramming, it is also about understanding the content and confidence (in yourself and your skills)!

Learn French based on your own interests with a native qualified tutor!
Bonjour ! Teaching French since more than 10 years now, I have been living in the Netherlands, Morocco and now Estonia. French native I studied French teaching for non native speakers...and enjoyed every class I gave, regardless of the level! The real challenge is to adapt to my tutees and so far, nobody complained :) In order to learn French, you need a few hours at least on weekly basis and the rest depends on what you want to do with it: working? Studying? Living in a French speaking country? A bientôt !

School support and homework help. Private lessons.
Tutoring and homework help courses aim to resume the work done at school, in order to better understand and assimilate it, so that the student understands in detail. These individual lessons aim to progress at the student's pace and consolidate the basics so that they can then better understand and learn better. These courses also aim to prepare for the controls.

Afraid of the French bac? Oral gives you stage fright? Let's study together!
Presentation : Professor of National Education and examiner of the BAC, I know how to make French pleasant for students in difficulty who do not hang with the subject. Whether it is to explain how to make a dissertation pleasant to read, how to organize a composed commentary or read one's text clearly, distinctly and posed for an oral. French is not only a subject, French is difficult and requires effort, but these are rewarded! Method: My students have always made significant progress, going from an average of 5 to the year to 14 average French baccalaureate. My last to have sent me his results went from 6 to the written and 9 to oral to 15 in writing and 17 in oral (EAF 2019 session). I have been preparing classes for these tests for years, I am up to date on methodology and programs. My services combine the experience of teaching French and the vivacity of a young teacher who succeeds in motivating the most recalcitrant students. My students have always made significant progress and above all, go to tests with confidence in their abilities. I adapt to your level and I give exercises to do for the next course (finish a comment, make an introductory essay ...). I am nice and enthusiastic but nevertheless serious: you will make satisfactory progress because you will work for 😉 2015-current Professor of Modern Letters in College / High School 2015-University Paris IV, The Sorbonne License of French as a Foreign Language 2014-University Paris IV, Sorbonne Master of Medieval Studies 2012-University Paris IV, The Sorbonne License of Modern Applied Letters 2010-Brevet of Aptitude to the Functions of Animator 2008-Baccalaureate series L 2006-First Aid Training Certificate
