Private French lessons with an experienced and native teacher

Hello,

I am a passionate teacher with a strong academic background and extensive experience in language instruction. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Portuguese-English Literature, with a focus on teaching, as well as a Master's degree in Didactics of Foreign and Second Languages, I specialize in FLE (French as a Foreign Language) and ESL (English as a Second Language). My background allows me to combine theory and practice to provide high-quality education, adapting to the specific challenges of each learner.

I have taught English and Portuguese to professionals in major companies in Rio de Janeiro and, since 2018, I have been offering private lessons in FLE, English, and Portuguese in Paris, catering to all levels (A1 to C2) and ages. I design personalized pedagogical programs and pay special attention to pronunciation, which is key for complete language mastery. My teaching approach is focused on the progress of each learner, ensuring that the learning experience is both effective and enjoyable.

I'm available if you have any questions.

Thank you and see you soon !

Pietro
Tuition middle / high school, guidance counseling, per student at HEC
As a student at HEC Paris at the end of my studies, I propose to accompany students from high school to high school, in the following subjects: -French (written-oral): I have already successfully prepared students for the bac exams. -English -Spanish -Economy and Social Sciences (ES stream) -History and Geography For each subject concerned, the priority will be to obtain concrete and visible results, ie better grades. That is why I systematically propose a methodology of work, specific to the subject, in order to obtain a maximum of results with a minimum of efforts. Moreover, to the extent that I am very familiar with the higher education system, I can provide guidance counseling, as post-bac choices are often anxiety-provoking for both high school students and their parents.

Learning, methods and rigor: transmit, learn and succeed
Teacher for 2 years within an organization, I have pleasure in helping your children to organize themselves in their work and to be rigorous and methodical in the learning of knowledge whatever the framework - whether in the context of an evaluation, an examination or a competition - and in the expression of their reflection (in editorial terms, in substance as in form): the methodology is in this the cornerstone of my lessons and the preparatory class to prepare for the competition of the École normale supérieure was a great help to me. This job is a passion, transmitted both by my parent teachers (my father is a philosophy teacher and my mother is a German teacher) and by my continuous fulfillment and never denied in my studies: I am never more satisfied than when my efforts hard work allowed me to reach the goals that I set myself: I teach your children to feel this satisfaction so singular of the work accomplished. Hope this message will make you want to meet me, Thank you

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.

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.
