The goal is to give the maximum of tools to the student to understand how to analyze a work.I fully understand the frustration that this may cause a student to not understand the subject to be analyzed and how to ask his ideas, and I would like to be able to help at best.

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
IN FRENCH:I have always had a passion for languages and have noticed that very often what prevents people from effectively speaking a language is the difficulty of understanding certain grammar rules, certain words, certain expressions. (Why is it like that ?! How do you say that ?!) I also noticed that these questions are sometimes sources of frustration for some people, and I would really like to help these people overcome these questions and quench their curiosity.
As for literature, I have also always loved work analysis and would like to share with my future students the appropriate techniques for analyzing texts and other works. Again, I understand the source of frustration, and it is extremely annoying to find yourself in front of a text in French (or English) class and not know where to start when the teacher asks to analyze X passage.
I also offer support in exam preparation and can provide tools for time management and revision.
IMPORTANT: I have experience with children with ASD and can also provide stress management tools.
IN ENGLISH:
I've always had a passion for languages, and I've always had a lot of questions about grammatical rules, some words, some expressions even say this ??) I have also noticed that these questions are often the source of frustrations for some people, and I would sincerely love to help those people to overcome those queries and quench their thirst for knowledge and curiosity.
Regarding litterature, I've always liked to analyze different works and would like to share with my future students different techniques to analyze a text (or any other media). Again, I understand the frustration you may feel; It's extremely stressful and disheartening to sit before you.
I also offer support in exam preparation and can provide tools for time management and revision.
IMPORTANT: I have experience working with children with ASD and can also teach stress management techniques.

Whether you are a beginner or want to improve your English, I offer tailor-made courses as well as the opportunity to practice one of the two languages, while benefiting from personalized corrections to improve your mastery.
We can work together on grammar, as well as conversation or exam preparation, depending on your goals. My approach is focused on communication and practice, in order to allow you to feel comfortable, whether in a professional or personal setting.
This course is intended for beginners and intermediates requiring support, so mainly young students still at school and having difficulties, or adults wishing to improve their English - either with practice or by clarifying grammar points.
The goal is to best help identify gaps and achieve student goals (eg, improve spoken / written English, have a better understanding of English grammar, better understand nuances, learn relevant vocabulary , etc.).
The type of learning, the needs, the preferences, the interests and the difficulties will be taken into account in order to create a personalized program adapted to the student without overburdening him / her.
My main goal is to teach the french language to people still struggling to grasp the intricacies and complexities of the language. I am perfectly aware that it is difficult to understand and to be able to understand it.
I will try to explain things as clearly as possible, and will be more likely to drop out of the classroom. (unless you wish me to do otherwise - I will switch accordingly to your wish-).
I can help you out with:
-conversation practice
-extention of (relevent) vocabulary
-grasping the grammar
-grasping expressions
-written expression

School support for exam preparation and academic successStudent in MBA (Master of Business Administration), and having completed my secondary studies at the Collège du Léman, a renowned international school, I obtained my bilingual federal diploma with honors as well as the American High School diploma. My specific option (OS) in Economics and Law defined my choice of university studies and today I am more than happy to share my knowledge with students of all levels.
Having several years of experience in teaching private lessons especially in French (dissertations, text studies and literary analyzes) my method is based on the pedagogy and the adaptation of the content and the form of the course according to the needs of the pupil.
I work with the student in order to optimize his academic performance and consolidate his confidence as well as his abilities with a view to obtaining a demanding higher diploma.
Please take into consideration that the first lesson consists of a ten-minute session during which a first contact is made with the student in order to identify his shortcomings and set performance objectives.

Spanish classes for foreigners for children, teenagers or adults; or language classes for teenagersHello! :). I'm Francisco, a teacher with more than a year of experience helping people like you to communicate fluently in Spanish, even when you share your learning with people of very different levels, something common in organizations like the Red Cross. I also have tools for students to more effectively acquire different types of content, since I have training on how memory works in adolescents and adults, thus associating said content with your perception of reality :).
Also, thanks to my training in natural language processing, you will discover how artificial intelligence and new technologies can help you improve your language skills. It's a lot of fun, you'll see!
I am available for you whenever you need me, even on weekends, which here in Spain we take very seriously hehe. Did you know, by the way, that the siesta is also sacred in Spain? Do you know why? Do you know about International Croquette Day and where it comes from? If you are passionate about curiosities, we certainly have a lot to talk about!
I won't go on any longer and I look forward to meeting you in class, because I'm sure that artificial intelligence, curiosities and hobbies will bring us together in a pleasant environment and we will establish a good relationship between cultures ;). See you soon!

French for all level, including IB French with a native French speakerI am a native-speaking french teacher, who has achieved a high 6 in IB french A level, self-taught.
I believe in teaching french (and languages in general) through practice: we will speak french in every class while learning about grammar, and practising writing skills.
If you are an Ib student, I can help you prepare for your exams, IAs and IOs and achieve the best possible marks.
Having lived in France for a major part of my life, I gladly discuss french culture, history and literature with you if you are interested. I am all for making classes as enjoyable as possible !!!

French private lessons by university graduate in LettersHolder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research
The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.
For help with writing:
The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.
For analyzes of oral literary texts:
In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.
For the corrections of end of studies work:
so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.
Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.
For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.
For adults (FLE):
In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).
The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.
Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.
