French as a foreign language teacher

Let me tell you my story: I am French and I moved to U.K. when I was 22 years old and had studied English for 11 years before that in a school... setting. When I arrived to the U.K., I thought my English was fine and that I could understand people speaking to me easily because I had practised speaking English with different nationalities before that. I thought I was good at speaking English. How wrong was I!!!! I had to re-learn everything. The way that I was taught at school was not going to help me with my accent or my conversational skills. Many years later, after struggling to fit and understand the way people were expressing themselves and their nuances, I suddenly found myself in a commercial setting, having to sell products on commission. And I was wondering what would be the best way for me to break through and start selling my products. I then started to listen to people I was having conversations with, with specific purposes. My first step was to attentively hear them, the way they were expressing themselves. I was making sure that I was finding English people to discuss with and listening to the way they were expressing their emotions, how they were agreeing and disagreeing, how they were greeting others in a business manner, how they were expressing themselves when they wanted something. My second step was to use and reproduce what I had heard from them as much as possible in different settings and look for the reactions of the people in front of me. This technique was very rewarding in my case and I made huge progress at the time. A few years later, and still living in England, I started building my own online tutoring and teaching business in my own language French, offering my skills and experience to students. I have been working this business since 2012 (part time as a new mum) and became really serious from 2017 when I worked with primary schools, companies, private customers, children (7-9), retired people, adults beginners, advanced, libraries reading sessions, baby groups. I was working on building conversations and developing my students's skills towards grammar like the tenses and their uses, prepositions, spelling,.... Anything you can think of, I have worked and developed systems towards helping my students and I have had fantastic results with people working with me every single week for over 2 years. By the way, my son who is now 10 is fully bilingual so I have tips on that too. Life changes have happened and I have slightly stopped my activities wondering if I was doing the right thing and if I could do something else because I am a people person and wanted to develop myself even further. Coming back to now and the purpose of this text, I am now back to my first love (languages) with a little extra (I do work on trauma release if necessary) offering free 15 minutes chats (video calls) to discuss how I could help you move forward in your apprenticeship of the French language and remove all your blocks and fears to help you move forward. feel free to connect on messenger, whatsapp, viber, whichever way works for you and see where that would lead you. My way of work will push you to the limit and will help you reach the level of knowledge you are looking for very quickly. You will be able to work with the momentum going, fully immersed in conversations with me, a native and experienced tutor who will pick up on every single mistake you will make. Whatever your level, you will become clear at where you are, you will gain confidence in your abilities and you will start flowing in the possibilities created when learning a foreign language.

Hi ! Teaching is most of all about transmitting my taste for learning. This is why I oriented my life and professional carreer in the educative... sector. After living abroad in different countries for studies and work, I became an open-minded teacher with a set of professional and communicative skills. These skills allow me to manage interactions in order to turn the learning process in an entertaining moment of sharing. In my professional practice, I aim to develop my student's curiosity and to give them the necessary keys to their intellectual and cultural fulfillment. I personally love working with audiovisual material, and digital ressources. I have been teaching French as a foreign language for 2 years in Finland in several institutions : - Institut Français de Finlande (Helsinki) - Helsigin Seudun Kesäyliopisto (Helsinki) - Helsingin Yliopisto (Helsinki) I have also taught French to private students fo 3 years now. My students age was from 8 to 76 years old. I have taught History and Geography in secondary schools for 3 years in France : - Cité scolaire Charles de Gaulle (Apt) - Collège André Malraux (Marseille) - Collège Federico Garcia Lorca (Saint-Denis) - Collège La Pléïade (Sevran) - Collège Evariste Galois (Sevran) My methodology to teach French is the communicative and actional methodology. Which means that all the documents I use are authentic, and the object of learning is always about communicating or acting in the real life. I adapt my program to your level your needs, your objectives and your personal interests. Let's talk about it ! Read more
