Learn French with me, native French, and certified teacher! For kids and adults

Bonjour :)

Native French speaker living in Vantaa, I obtained a certificate of teaching French as a foreign language from the Alliance Française in 2022. I will be happy to help you practice your skills in French.

The class is flexible according to what you are willing to improve.
It can be a simple conversation to practice your oral skills. It can also be a class focused on grammar rules with some exercises to practice, or a class based on a text, a song, or an image... We can decide together according to your level what would fit best for you!

Also, I took "French teaching for children" as a specialty when I passed the exam for the French teaching certificate and I worked at Jules Verne French school so I know how to adapt the class to younger :)

About Me

I am a 29-years-old journalist and teacher of French as a foreign language, currently living in Vantaa, Finland.

In 2021-2022, I followed a 10-month training and in June 2022, I passed the certification of teaching French as a foreign language delivered by the Alliance Française. With this training, I was able to learn how to create a class sequence and many techniques to allow French learners to improve as effectively as possible. I took "teaching for kids" as a specialty.

As a journalist, I have writing skills more developed than other native French speakers and I always keep an open and curious mind about the world. That is why I am thrilled to teach my language to people from different parts of the world !:)

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.

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.
