Hi, I'm an art student and enthusiast who wants to teach beginners. I love providing a first approach to drawing and sketching, and my method has proved to be very efficient. I have experience mostly with kids and teenagers, but if you're an adult it's fine too!
I can teach in French or in English.
Extra information
Bring some paper and pencils. I can lend some of my material too!

About Me
After completing studies of literature and film writing, I'm currently working as a scriptwriter and video game writer.
I've been regularly giving private lessons in my areas of expertise over the last ten years, and my taste for transmitting knowledge has only grown more.

About the French lessons: I've worked a few years as a Foreign Language French teacher (FLE), but I feel more comfortable in small groups. It's easier to provide adapted advice and support, since every student needs to follow their own rhythm.

About the drawing lessons: My drawing skills come from an academic background, but have mostly been self-taught. I'd gladly send some pictures of my work if you need to see what I'm capable of. What I love the most is introducing beginners to drawing, and the methods I use for teaching have proven to be super effective!

I can't wait to share my knowledge with you and your child.
Education
International High School: I joined international classes at the age of thirteen, which is the reason I'm fluent in English.
University of Nice (Modern and Classical French literature): After completing 3 years in a Prépa Littéraire, I followed literature studies, mostly in French literature, while educating myself on English literature.
Méliès Campus in Cannes (Scriptwriting Studies): I've specialized myself in Creative writing for Film and Television, as well as Video Games.

Being a French Literature student, I'm also a FLE part-time teacher. I've got a great experience of teaching with various levels, from adults to children.
I can adapt very easily to your level, and work with you on a personalised program.
With me, learn to speak naturally. My method is mostly conversational, and I guarantee it is very efficient!

Does your child need to improve their grades in French, gain more confidence, or simply practice ?
Or do you want to make fast progress in French for your studies, career, or your personal enjoyment ?

I've been giving French lessons for more than ten years, in person and online. I've taught both groups and individuals, working with students from many different backgrounds. I'm quick to understand what my student really needs, and what is the best method of learning for them. I will adapt to your needs, and know how to approach language learning in various ways.

I offer you a tailored approach : we can make the lessons' focus about precise subjects targeting your goals (for school or work for example), or I can come up with varied activities and subjects so that learning never becomes boring. In my lessons, I aim for a balance of speaking, writing, understanding, and enjoyment.

To give you an example, I can focus on exam preparation and a specific program for high school students. With adults, I can focus more on conversation and practical vocabulary. If needed, I offer a clear follow-up and recaps of what we have worked on.

My students are all very satisfied and it's always been a pleasure teaching them my native language ! They also regularly gain confidence and improve their grades significantly. I love seeing them be so curious, and making progress over time.

Contact me today to discuss your needs and arrange a first online lesson. I can't wait to help you improve your French !
