Individual to Learn French (all levels) + Conversation classes + Literary club

From 64 € /h

Immersive French courses / personalized instruction

- I offer attentive and demanding teaching, but I am convinced that this is only really possible in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere - you learn better when you dare to make mistakes!
- I do not believe that there is a single method or textbook suitable for everyone. Hence the importance for me of always getting to know my students in order to build an effective progression.
- I systematically tailor my lessons to the particular needs of each student, depending of course on his or her abilities but also on his or her favorite subjects.
- I ask the students to do exercises (lexical or grammatical) at home after each lesson, in electronic (pdf) or paper format. We systematically correct them at the beginning of each class.
- The dialogue between the students and the teacher is very important. Not a lesson goes by without them talking about life and the events in the news...
- I prepare for examinations (DL, DELF/DALF, TEF, TCF, CCIP, TELC, CIEP, LPE...)

About Me

With a degree in history and a doctorate in information science, I started as a librarian at INA (Paris) where I worked for many information professionals (journalists, university researchers, etc.), then, in the framework of my research, combining on a daily basis fields of study as varied as the history of ideas, sociology (sociology, sociology of communication, sociology of journalism), information and communication sciences, political history and economics.

In the Netherlands, I worked on the theme of the surveillance society and new ways of being informed and — in particular, on the theme of the new forms of circulation of news content. Then I wrote a thesis on the frameworks of a critical analysis of the journalistic representation.

I started teaching French at the Alliance Française, and after a few more years of study, I opened La Parenthèse in 2014.

I am a person who is interested in a thousand things (as much in literature as in astronomy, geopolitics and history) and I therefore read a lot of newspapers, magazines and journals, which allows me to feed my lessons with varied and continuously updated material.

Education

- 1997 : Licence et maitrise d'Histoire (Paris 1 Sorbonne) / “Public opinion
as perceived through the petitions addressed to the Chamber of Deputies between May 1873 and May 1877” (archived in the French National Library, BNF).
- 1998 : Professional degree (BA) in Information and Archiving Science and Techniques (specialization in audiovisual archiving) (1998) (Licence professionnelle “Sciences et Techniques de l’Information et de la Documentation”, option: audiovisuel) delivered by the Institut national des techniques de la documentation (INTD) and the Institut national de l’audiovisuel (National Audiovisual Institute, INA).
- 2004 : DEA (post-graduate degree) / Title: “Towards a study of silence in televised news”.
- 2010 : PhD (doctorat) / Title: “Ideology and journalistic representation. Towards a social critique-based analysis of information. A case-study of international news coverage by the French radio station France Inter”.

Experience / Qualifications

I first worked at the Alliance française (group A1, groups B1 and B2, conversation classes), then, as a teacher at La Parenthèse, I taught at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), the International School of The Hague and the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). This has enabled me to build up a solid educational background over the years.

I am Laura , a Spanish woman living in The Hague. I have been teaching and helping high school students with their homework and study methods since 2014 as a private tutor. I have experience as a language teacher in different schools in Madrid (extracurricular activities) for children between 3 and 10 years old. I work as a Spanish teacher since 2019 in various countries, helping numerous students to improve their speaking, listening and writing skills.

I studied Nutrition and Dietetics (4 years bachelor) at Complutense University of Madrid. Later and determined by my love for languages, I completed the BA in Linguistics in Leiden University, following the Brain and Cognition specialization, which focuses in how language and second languages learning works in a neural level.

Depending on the goal, the learning or lesson method is different. Normally, the first day I meet the student and we talk about what he or she expects and the topics we need to pay more attention. From that, I organise and structure a learning plan for reaching the desired goals (listening, speaking, writing, etc) or level (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2).

Помогу в изучении английского языка. Будем практиковать письменный и устный английский, работать над грамматикой. Помогу начать изучение языка с нуля. Также для ребят, учащихся в школе, буду помогать со школьной программой и с домашними заданиями.
Также могу помочь с подготовкой к экзаменам как к государственным (ЕГЭ), так и к международным, таким как IELTS, TOEFL, SAT (имела опыт по сдаче каждого из перечисленных экзаменов).
Так как большое внимание уделяется при сдаче экзаменов на письменную часть, будем расширять глоссарий, учиться логично аргументировать свою позицию.
Большое внимание будем уделять разговорному английскому, общаться на разные темы, что поможет также расширить словарный запас, смотреть видеоролики на английском, обсуждать их.

I am a ELE Spanish teacher, from Spain.
I have worked for EF Education First in Costa Rica, this has made me learn a lot about the Latin American culture, and its derivation of Spanish, this makes me have more knowledge about Spanish and how to teach it.

Spanish is a beautiful language and is currently one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
In my classes you will learn about everything that this language encompasses, from grammar, lexicon, communication, history, literature. Basically what the student demands.

I like to give dynamic classes, in which I focus on the student's progress, and I make sure that the student can see by himself his progress with a series of samples from the first class.

As a French student studying in The Netherlands, at Leiden University, I've been able to hear so many different languages in my everyday life. And I love giving some advice to my friends starting, currently learning or simply practicing French. Therefore, giving some French tutoring appears as a really gratifying experience, for both the tutor and the tutored!

French being my first language, the level of my classes can depend on the level of the student: from learning the very first basis of the language to high school-level essay writing, I'd love to share some of my culture and language through my classes.

My classes are open to children, teenagers, and young adults. They can be in English, French or both. Depending on what fits you the best!

Feel free to contact me if you are interested.

Let's enjoy French culture together!
I believe immersion is the best way for learning a new language, so let me bring France to you through lessons and fun activities! Cooking traditional dishes with French recipes, analyzing the lyrics of French songs and poems, watching cult French cinematographic works, and so on.
I can also adapt my teaching with a more academic approach of course. Vocabulary and grammar are on the programme as well.
