About Me

▶️My approach

😻My rule of thumb: no class without a (moving) image, be it a game, movie (short or feature, animated or not), photo, drawing, meme, caption, painting, music video, TV show, documentary, report, sketch, an illustration or interview
😻I'll use 100% worksheets created or adapted by me that I continuously update
😻I love cats (I know you do too !) and I'll often include images and videos of cats in my lessons
😻I'll expose you to real life situations and teach you the contemporary, not the literary language
😻I'll prioritize conversation over writing and reading
😻I'll focus on practice and examples, not on theoretical concepts and rules
😻I'll seek to have an answer to all your questions and provide you with comprehensive explanations whenever possible
😻I'll evaluate your progress periodically and tell you what to do to improve your skills
😻I'll give you visibility on what we're going to do next
😻I'll constantly ask you for suggestions regarding topics you're interested in
😻I'll teach you the way I (would have) liked to be taught
😻I'll show you how to learn, not only what to learn
😻I'll respect your pace and I won't pressure you
😻I'll make you feel comfortable and at ease and improve your level of self-trust
😻I'll create a relaxed, informal and playful atmosphere
😻I'll do my best to make our classes fun and engaging, interactive and enjoyable, dynamic and diverse
😻I'll aim to keep you curios and focused 99% of the time
😻I'll try to make it seem easy even when it's difficult
😻I'll make you fall in love with the language you're learning
😻I'll turn our class into one of the best parts of your week and a nice life experience

Experience / Qualifications

I'm a dedicated and creative French, Romanian and English language trainer, with over 16 years of experience in the field. I'm an adept of tailored, customized courses, meant to facilitate a targeted, personalized approach, based on each student’s needs.
I use a large variety of interactive materials such as games, animations, short films, photos, paintings, songs and sketches, even when it comes to business language.
Teaching students from a wide range of backgrounds, with different levels and learning styles and paces, has considerably helped me refine my training skills over the time. I strongly believe one can best learn new notions by playing, visualizing and making analogies, not by memorizing by heart. I also prioritize conversation over writing and reading-based tasks, as I consider speaking essential when learning a language, no matter the level.
My teaching method together with my inherent passion for languages have until now successfully resulted in engaged students who learned how to study in an efficient way. This led to their significant progress and more than once to a shift of perspective regarding the idea of learning a foreign language, which doesn't have to involve boring, dense and predictable textbooks and can actually be interesting and fun.
I love what I do, as my activity implies continuous self-improvement and it also gives me the opportunity to leave an imprint behind.

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.

✨French teacher - Pass the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Individual or group session. ✨
Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018. I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !

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.

French for kids- learn French with innovative and entertaining methods
I had a lot of difficulty learning and concentrating in school. That is why I decided to specialise in teaching kids from 4 to 16 years old, to help them learn with methods that are adapted to their needs and goals. This passion for my work inspires me to keep looking for new, innovative methods to teach. My lessons are a mix of traditional and conversational, more entertaining, teaching methods.

Laura
French Lessons And Tutoring for Children and Teens. From Beginners to Advanced Levels.
A class in French to learn to speak, read, and write in French. The learners are encouraged to speak in French when answering questions to learn proper sentence structure and pronunciation. A curriculum can be developed to match the learner's levels and goals with homework and a test at the end. No need to purchase books, I provide the pdf's. I am also available virtually for any questions that your learner may have during the week. This class can also be as a tutor to support the learner's current curriculum in school is also doable. Reach out with any questions, or days and times you might prefer if you don't see anything that matches your preferences. What parent's say?: My 7-year-old daughter's confidence in her French has grown significantly in Laura's French class. She attends a trilingual school and was initially struggling to keep up with all the languages. Laura's teaching has not only boosted her confidence but also improved her participation, as noted by her French teacher during our recent parent-teacher conference. Laura ensures that every student, no matter the class size, has a chance to speak a significant amount during her lessons, and her caring approach to diverse learning abilities is impressive. Both my sons, 17 and 16, have been taking French lessons with Laura, and she is an exceptional teacher. She's patient, fun, interesting, personable, understanding, and on top of it. We are hoping she offers more classes that we can sign up for :) My daughter has loved taking French from Laura for the last year and a half. And I can honestly say that if I had a teacher like Laura when I was in my high school French classes, I would still be speaking French. She has a great way of communicating with the kids and helping them feel comfortable learning and loving a new language. Outstanding teacher! Great with kids and very organized lessons! Laura is always supportive of the students. I saw my student progress in French and my student felt more confident in French language study. She attempts to make it a mostly immersive experience, but never leaves students confused about what she is saying.
