Learn French in the city center of Bern
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Instead of following classical teaching methods, I prefer the link, the meeting between two people who learn while talking normally. The themes will be those that the student chooses, according to his immediate needs. From everyday vocabulary to a more literary one, including hobbies, politics, sports, etc .; we will go in the direction that will indicate the student so that he feels at ease and can learn the language of Molière in a soothing and familiar.Extra information

Education

At university, I studied Italian in Bordeaux and Siena (Italy), theology and philosophy in Friborg (Switzerland). I learned Hebrew during a three-year stay in Israel. Self-taught and very independent, I was able to learn it without going to a classroom, which allows me to teach it today in an international language school. I teach both Modern Hebrew and Ancient HebrewExperience / Qualifications

I read and I live a lot, which allows me to write also: I am the author of a book released in 2017 under the following name: "For the love of the little French rest", book of 400 pages dealing with the situation politics in France.I have also written for a Swiss monthly, Le Petit Chablais, and I am a columnist for a French radio station.
Finally, I am a French and Hebrew teacher in an international language school in Bern.

My teenage son enjoyed the lessons with Silvain. It was fun for my son. He appreciated that Silvain encouraged him to speak French for a whole hour, even though my son has little experience.
Sylvain helps me to better understand French, which I don't understand at school. He also helps me learn grammar early on, which is very helpful. My French vocabulary would be much smaller without Sylvain and I can only thank him for that. He is the best French tutor I have had and I have had several.
Sylvain is an excellent French teacher who teaches with a lot of passion, joy and competence. It is an excellent help from A1-2 up to B1-2, in my experience. Without Sylvain, my language level in particular would be weaker. Despite my knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, I always held back when the opportunity to speak arose. But since I met Sylvain and after many French lessons, I no longer have any concerns about using my oral French, which isn't so bad anymore. I can only be grateful to him for all the time he invested - at a great price - into my teaching and improvement. My main goal now is to transform my somewhat unsteady oral French into something more fluent. I have no doubt that with Sylvain's support I will achieve this goal soon.

Was a great hour of non-stop French! Exactly what I needed and wanted. He moved the conversation through interesting topics and most importantly corrected me when I made (many) mistakes!
Very good teacher, gives valuable advice.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.
You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.
My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.
In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.
What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!
In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual 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.

Learn French with a French-speaking teacher, 7 days a weekHello to all of you!
I welcome you to my profile.
You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French.
Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning.
Hence my presence on this site.
My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French.
To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges.
I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere!
You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours.
This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible!
It's all in your favor!
Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.
