About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Bilingual actor trained in Acting in English at Cours Florent (Paris) I practice English every day! It is a language that I particularly like for its efficiency and its exoticism. This is also why I left to live and work in London where I personally staged a play in Camden (directed, written, produced, promoted...).

Following I went to Toronto in Canada to think about my future. And no doubt, I still want to be an actor but since it's not a remunerative job in the first place, back in Paris I give English and French lessons to willing students who want to progress!
In my free time I also write scripts in English ...

I can't wait to meet you!

I wanted to do a few English conversation sessions to improve my flow, tone and accent in English. Valentin was able to quickly adapt to my needs and offered me an effective method and exercises to achieve my goals. Thank you Valentine!

I have been taking online French classes from Valentin for a while now and it has been a real pleasure so far! He is very attentive to my requests /remarks and his lectures are tailor-made. He is very punctual, patient and efficient.
Valentin is a very approachable and attentive teacher who adapts his material according to the learning level required. He is very personable which puts my son at ease with his lesson.
I'm learning a lot from Valentin. I highly recommend!
Lessons have been really helpful and Valentin is a supportive tutor. Would highly recommend.
...
Actor of formation having lived abroad (London and Toronto), I love English and I would like everyone to know how to speak it! There is indeed a delay in France with respect to English, which is remembered is spoken worldwide and is the first language of communication! And this comes mainly from the lack of confidence in the oral. That is why with you I will work above all on the ease and the confidence but also on the pronunciation and the rhythm.

French communication skills and/or literature analysis
For people wanting to use french in everyday situations, I propose the communicative approach, focus on communication rather than grammar structures. This approach takes the focus off the language by stressing the content. The idea is to communicate fluently. (If you were to learn how to repair a bicycle, for example, you would learn bike vocab then would then be able to communicate in French by using the relevant vocabulary and conveying their feelings, ideas and thoughts.) For students wanting to learn French in a more literate approach, I propose analytic lectures of French classics, or any desired text. This can help for more elaborate grammatical structures and thorough vocabulary. In addition to strengthening a more distinctive way of expression, you'll enhance your French culture

Learn French with Maksens !
Everyone has a reason to learn French : whether you are passionate about French cuisine or literature, about our marvelous landscapes and historical patrimony in Paris and outside, or for any other reason, whether you are studying French at high school or you have previously studied it and forgot it all, whether you are 15 or 51, you are right to (re)start/continue learning French, and you are welcome to my classes. As a French enthusiastic about my culture and language, I would love to share my passion while making you improve your understanding and expression in French. My classes are progressive and based on your needs and requests, and they mix language and civilisation.

French Language Classes and Conversation-based Classes (Any Level - GCSE, A Level, etc...)
Hello! I am a French native speaker that speaks fluent French and English. I passed my French baccalaureate focusing on languages and literature with a 16.8/20. I have given classes on and off since I was a teenager and very much enjoy tutoring people of any age. I can offer a formal class focusing on French writing, grammar and conjugation or rather a more informal approach and have a regular conversation-based class in which we chat in French to further improve your speaking skills. Each class can be bespoke to what it is that you wish to focus on - whether it be helping with homework, freshening up your French or starting from scratch! I am happy to travel to you if you are London based or have our sessions online.

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

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.
