Matteo
Philo student gives Italian lessons for all levelsI am an Italian foreign student in Paris. I reached my Bac in a Liceo Classico, equivalent to Bac L.
I am flexible to discuss and change my methodology according to the objectives, the study methods and the particularities of each one.
For a more oral study I think it will be more useful to work on pronunciation and listening using tools such as music, radio, etc ...
For a study aimed at writing we will work on grammar, the structure of language and reading, progressing with time.
If you have any question do not hesitate to contact me.

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!

Learn how to Practice Mindfulness Through Poetry and ProseIn today’s fast-paced world, finding peace can feel like a challenge. "Mindfulness Through Poetry and Prose" offers a unique approach to inner calm by combining the soothing power of language with practical mindfulness techniques. In this class, I combine the art of literature with mindfulness practices, creating a peaceful space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself.
Through carefully chosen poems and excerpts, you’ll explore themes like gratitude, acceptance, and self-compassion. Each session includes guided mindfulness exercises, reflective writing prompts, and group discussions that foster personal growth and emotional well-being.
This class is perfect for anyone looking to:
Relieve stress and find inner calm.
Develop self-awareness and emotional resilience.
Engage with poetry and prose in a thoughtful, meaningful way.
Express themselves through reflective writing and discussion.
No prior experience in poetry or mindfulness is required—just an open mind and a willingness to explore with a yogi and literature graduate.

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 !!!
A little more about me,
I have tutored a few students in French in the last few years, and I graduated from the IB in 2021 with 39 points in ETIS (ESPOO). I am to enter the University of Warwick in a Politics, Economics and Philosophy degree in the end of September.

Proofreading and correction of written work such as mature work, end-of-study dissertations, internship reportsI offer careful proofreading, both in terms of content and form, of written work such as internship reports, senior work, end-of-study dissertations, dissertations, comments or reading sheets.
I correct language errors: grammar, syntax, language register, spelling. I also suggest possibly bringing in other sources and rectifying the structure of the work if necessary.

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.
