French Language for Business, learn to speak and act appropriately in business settings

Bonjour, my name is Olivia; I have a Master in teaching French language but also experienced in teaching French to company professionals working in- or with French companies.

After having lived for 23 years in Asia and taught different nationalities, I've developed an inspiring and interactive method to teach French language linked with the French culture; food, people, art, fashion. I guess language is the first step but the "Etiquette" is what makes you more French and being more successful in business settings.

With me, you will learn French at your pace, according to your needs, your motivation and the request from your company.

About Me

Hello, I am Olivia and spend my time in between Amsterdam, France and Asia. Besides the travel (not at this moment), I learn everyday about the rich culture and rich differences that exist between for example the Dutch (married to one) and the French.

I teach French and IB level to International School students and to business professionals wanting to sharpen their French skills. Teaching is a great way to connect and learn about another culture. Learning a vocabulary only gets you so far, add cultural understanding and you will unlock the key to making your French skills parfait!

I really enjoy finding creative ways to let the student experience the richness of the French language and practically link it to daily life situations. My interaction with high school-, university students and business professionals give me the opportunity to constantly improve my lesson content and methods. Interesting content method for millennials, relevant practical use for professionals. I use various online video (sharing) tools to have engaging lessons. Shall we try?

My son enjoys the lessons
She is so wonderful! My daughter enjoys her class very much.
Don't think twice, just book ! Olivia has been fantastic in helping my son for IB French oral prep, Paper 1 & 2. Her structured and engaging approach has made such a difference in his motivation to learn and put into practice knowledge and now he feels confident at moving from a borderline A-B to solid A standard. Given we are in Australia, she has been so flexible even doing 6am starts to suit our convenience.
Very good first lesson. Olivia was able to assess and plan the lessons exactly as my son needed.
Great first lesson! Merci!

Bonjour, my name is Olivia; I have a Master in teaching French language as well as the certification for the IB program (bilingual exam) for foreign or french high-school students. For the past 10 years I have taught at International Schools and given private tuition to students of different ages. My main topic is the preparation of the IB program for high-school students including IGCSE, AB initio, Language B and language A, Standard level or high level. The principal parts of the IB program are developing the skills of understanding a context and a topic, as well as being able to give an opinion; speaking and writing are important but if you don't know what you are talking about, no language would be helpful. When I teach I always make sure that we reflect on the designated subject and we look for appropriate words to express it....Thinking before talking is one of the golden rule of the IB program For the past 21 years, I've lived in Asia and taught different nationalities therefore I have developed an inspiring and interactive method to teach French language taking into account the personality of each student; not everyone learn at the same pace I hope to meet you soon for the lessons
In many circumstances we think we know English; unfortunately it often appears that our knowledge is limited to simple vocabulary and sometimes inappropriate to the context or subject. This class aims to improve English using specific subjects and contexts such as daily life, the artistic field, the business world or even the medical field. This class can also be a complement to learning more academic English; I can help you review grammar, tenses and even English structures. Diploma: TEFL (teaching English as foreign language) IELTS
The French baccalaureate is the first important test for a high school student, it is therefore a question of preparing them to learn but above all to understand; the era of rote learning is a bit over, you now have to show the examiner that you have understood the work and that you can talk about it "naturally". Preparation is therefore essential, the work must be mastered and stress managed on the day of the test. If you would like to help the future high school graduate, I offer revision and preparation courses for the French baccalaureate and baccalaureate. Feel free to contact me for more information
After working as an IB and French teacher, mainly for teenagers, I realized that the profession had evolved and that sometimes to pass an exam, knowledge was not enough; self-confidence, well-being, attitude and mentality have become essential components of success. This is why, in addition to my training as an IB teacher, I followed a professional certification whose modules focused on the psychology of adolescents and their challenges in the face of a constantly changing world. I therefore offer listening and speaking sessions for adolescents in difficulty but also programs more focused on the organization of a day, work at school and at home and finally lessons more focused on preparation mental exams. Do not hesitate to contact me if you would like more information or make a specific request. The secrecy of the sessions is naturally respected

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For 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!

Private (online) french lesson. experienced teacher in Paris.

Kevin
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.

Robert
Learn French with a French-speaking teacher, 7 days a week
Hello 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.

William
French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.

Gwenola
French (todos los edades) / Ayuda con los deberes (a pesar de las ciencias de 3 à 14 años sino todos los edades)
For good quality courses, during the first hour we see that it is necessary to learn new lessons and learn the best way for the student to learn as an example of visual skills with esquemas or oral skills with oral activities... To work a little bit of the way most suited to every student. Other classes will unlock depending on the progress of the student and how they move. Be a patient person to whom the taste is much to pass on your love to others.

Georgette
i teach French from age 10 years to higher education
I am very flexible in teaching. The aim is for the student to reach a target level as quickly as possible. For this I analyze during the first lesson where the shortcomings are and in this way draw up a learning program (always in consultation with the student/parents). I attach great importance to learning the perfect pronunciation. I also encourage learning to think in the language learned so that the language can be spoken as soon as possible. Of course I also explain the grammar rules that are indispensable. I am pleased when my students get positive results.
