    Matteo
    Philo student gives Italian lessons for all levels
    I 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.

    German lessons in language & culture with a native speaker, learn online and with joy, exam preparation
    As a German teacher with many years of experience, I teach both beginners and advanced learners, and accompany students from different countries in literature, history, reading comprehension and language skills. In my Language and Culture course, I combine learning a foreign language with getting to know German traditions, holidays, history and society, because all of this is part of learning German. I really enjoy observing the progress of my students and I have accompanied many of them on their journey for many months or even years, which creates a close and trusting relationship between students and teachers and allows them to learn with joy in a relaxed atmosphere! Feel free to stop by!

    French private lessons by university graduate in Letters
    Holder 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.
