About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
In a studious atmosphere, my lessons are adapted to the personality and educational characteristics of each learner. The material is structured written and oral production, phonetics, specialty French, FOU, grammar, syntax, vocabulary, literature, history, originality and any learning project. My several years of experience give me the opportunity to offer my electronic-audiovisual material to all my students as well as current press documents. Screen sharing is the most useful tool, as I write the entire lesson during the session. At the end of the course I send the word pages to the student's email. The pupil could print or not, it is up to him alone to see that. The course begins with a small examination-revision of the last lesson. Homework should be prepared and I correct either on photo or orally, highlighting the learner's difficulties. At the end of the month there is the month check to consolidate what we have already learned. These are methods from large publishing houses such as Hachette, Clé, Nathan, Didier, Trait d'Union, Sorbonne University, Aristote University, Kapodistrian University, Ciep, which are offered in PDF as well as their audios. Many times there are press articles or videos on the news which can trigger very interesting discussions and comments. Often there are discussions on TV, movies, series or TV news in Greek or French.

My name is Marie and I am a private teacher of French and modern Greek. I have been teaching French for 30 years as well as modern Greek which is my mother tongue. Passionate about literature, history, pedagogy and method, I continued to study French literature at the University of the Sorbonne Paris IV. I worked at French schools in Greece and at the French institutes of Athens and Thessaloniki. I am very experienced in the preparation of FLE diplomas as well as Greek education diplomas. I prepare tailor-made courses according to the particular needs of each learner while respecting the structure of DELF, DALF, SORBONNE all levels, CCIP all options, CNED, FLS, TEF, TCF. My several stays in France as well as my work at the Acropolis Museum in Athens gave me the pleasure of teaching on webcam and in person using my own educational methods: I teach my personal method of Greek adapted for French speakers . Regarding French as a foreign language, I offer the material in PDF and audio documents for free.
A graduate of the Sorbonne Paris IV and experienced for 25 years, I offer courses at all levels online. My program also consists of preparing for the exams of the French IB program.

I have the chance to work on what I like the most in life and I am very happy to share my experience with you. I am ready to help you speak and express yourself in both French and Greek.

Maria is a great teacher. Her passion for teaching French is truly inspiring. She has a remarkable ability to make even most complex topics accessible and engaging.
Very good course with Maria. Very kind and very professional. She takes the time to explain well and at the end of the course, she sends me documents and links so that I can study later. I recommend it :)

I am bilingual, Greek and French. 30 years of experience as a teacher, I give French lessons at all levels: DELF, DALF, SORBONNE, CCIP and CNED. On webcam in a studious atmosphere, I offer all electronic material free of charge on word and PDF pages. Specializing in both literary and economic texts, I take care of beginners as well as advanced people who want to progress in French. It is the same for all levels in Greek. Graduated from the University of Sorbonne IV Paris, I also work on corrections of memoirs, comments and translations. All the material for the French literary baccalaureate and for the French literature of the Aristotle Universities of Thessaloniki and Kapodistrian of Athens are provided free of charge. MY METHODOLOGY Expert for beginners, since I have worked a lot on my "beginners" method which is based on my own experience in collaboration with specialist writers from CLE international and so we proceed in stages. My methodology for other levels includes a variety of documents + books from major publishing houses, authentic sound documents, grammar exercises, animated dialogues, role plays with the learner, phonetics exercises, morphosyntax, analyzes of press articles or magazines from the same day of the real news and thus develop the side of French civilization and culture too much demanded for the DELF, DALF, SORBONNE exams. On webcam I share my screen, I write most of the terms and I send them after the lesson in pdf on the email of the student. The student will be able to print my notes. I also use specialized methods for English speakers. My lesson is not limited to an hour of 60 minutes because I send you throughout the week videos, magazines of your interest: arts, fashion, politics, history, health etc.

Private lessons in French and work methodology
My name is Jonathan. I am a young teacher with already 15 years of experience in the field of academic support for primary and secondary school children up to rhetoric. I also provide individual monitoring for your work method, more particularly in terms of understanding the instructions and the work schedule. If you need a helping hand, I'm here to listen.

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 !

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.
