Clément
Private French language lessons for all levels
Student of Scientific Terminal offers help for school work in French during this particular period. My goal is to be as attentive as possible to your expectations and I will be completely able to adapt. I benefit from a great experience and have already been able to support many pupils of all ages (CE1, CM2, 6th, 5th, 4th, 3rd) whether it is for a particular subject or for more general help or simply to help motivation and confidence of the young person. I am also used to helping the students in my class in their understanding. I have always appreciated French and literature a lot and obtained excellent marks in this subject in the baccalaureate last year (19 oral and 20 written). It can also take the form of learning French as a foreign language. Having learned four foreign languages myself, I am passionate about this objective and will take great pleasure in helping you achieve it. Feel free to contact me for more information !

Swann
Basic english, translation between english and french, creative wring in english.
L'anglais est la langue la plus parlée au monde, pourtant elle est assez mal enseignée en cours - collège, lycée, université etc... Si le français est ma langue maternelle, je suis également bilingue anglais, je peux le parler au quotidien dans d'autres pays mais je peux aussi écrire des histoires en anglais - la littérature étant ma spécialité. Dans ce cours, je propose donc d'apprendre l'anglais, que ce soit à un niveau débutant ou déjà avancé. Je m'adapte aux besoin de chacun, si certains veulent un apprentissage plus classique ou d'autres plus ludique. Je propose aussi de s'amuser à “créer” en anglais, des histoires écrits dont le sujet peut être guidé comme libre, des histoires joués comme du théâtre ou du “role play”, des mises en situation etc.

Cyprien
English, literary, grammar courses, refreshers or follow-ups.
Hello everyone, I'm Cyprien, a 25-year-old language enthusiast from France. Having lived for a cumulative three years in New Zealand, South Korea and Japan, I perfected my English skills. My career also led me to study English, more specifically in marketing. In addition to my international experience, I obtained an excellent TOEFL score. Today, as a private English teacher, I am delighted to share my passion and knowledge with you. The English language is omnipresent in my daily life, and I am convinced that learning can be both enjoyable and rewarding. My teaching method is based on interaction, communication and the development of practical skills necessary for fluent use of the language. Whether you're a beginner or want to perfect your existing skills, I'm here to support you on your English learning journey, with a focus on marketing if that matches your interests. Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your language goals and start this adventure together. Hope to meet you, Cyprien

Amicie
English classes, from written english, to oral english (grammar, litterature, linguistics, ...)
I am currently a student in Master MEEF 1st degree, with the aim of becoming a school teacher, so I am passionate about teaching. I also have a Bachelor's degree in English from LLCER, where I learned to develop my written and oral skills in English, as well as German, Spanish and Portuguese. I have spent a lot of time in English-speaking countries (Ireland, USA), so I have been able to develop my English accent (British). Today I continue to speak English on a daily basis, while watching films, series and documentaries in this language. So I continue to develop my skills. I have been giving lessons for several years now. I am open to any course proposal: grammar, expression, comprehension, theme, version, literature, phonology, ... I adapt myself according to your needs. It may be that I don't have an answer to a question during our course, I am honest, and I will then tell you "I don't know". But I will do the research on my side to give you the answer in the next class. The first class, or the first exchanges, will serve to get to know each other and to understand what you want to improve. Keep in mind that I am only here to guide you in your progress, but that you are the only one who can decide whether or not you want to progress. By taking the first step, by deciding to take online courses is already a decision leading to a progression in your language skills! I hope to see you soon for an English course! Amicie

French, grammar and literature, to learn and reflect
I have a degree in french literature, and I want to share my interest for french litterature and help to discover and understand more this discipline. I love reflect and analyse texts and authors, and it's a great challenge for myself to explain and reflect with someone else about these. I can also help with french grammar, and fluent oral expression in french. My class can be organized and analytic depending on what you want to learn, but also a place to think about how to build a clear reasoning on a subject.
