French lessons / French as a Foreign Language for adults / Conversation

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Journalist in written press for 20 years, trainer for 6 years in French as a Foreign Language and trainer in mastering the French language in a private establishment, I offer French courses for foreign/non-French-speaking adults. I am a trainer in a private establishment and I have also been a volunteer in a socio-linguistic workshop for migrants since 2018 for Médecins du Monde in Toulouse. I created my French training company and I am self-employed. I live in Toulouse and I can travel around the Toulouse region and the Gers. For learners who live abroad, classes are held via Google Meet, Zoom or WhatsApp.
After a first assessment which will allow us to define your needs, we will improve your knowledge of the French language and the fluidity of your conversations in French. My goal is to make your French perfectly understandable and to give you back your daily autonomy thanks to the practice of this language. I will provide you with suitable written and audio material.
We will talk a lot and in a good mood! I also speak English, Italian and Spanish when needed. I can come to your workplace during your breaks or to your home. I also offer webcam lessons.
I can also help you proofread and correct your manuscripts, internship reports, dissertations, theses as well as the writing of your administrative or professional documents. I offer refresher courses in French for adults.

If French is your mother tongue but you need a refresher in writing... Do not penalize your professional development. Let's find together the basics of the French language. Spelling, conjugation, grammar, French will find all its flavor in your writings. No more meeting minutes, activity reports or emails full of mistakes! You will regain self-confidence, and will be able to project yourself into the future to develop your professional career.
I also offer you the correction, proofreading, rewriting and reformatting of your personal or professional documents as soon as possible. A job that we will do together during the lessons.

I only had one of five lessons and it is very obvious that Mary is a very experienced teacher. I am looking forward to be learning with her.
Mary is a trained teacher, with a method that is functional to everyone's needs, which makes the lesson fun and very effective at the same time. I strongly recommend it to all those who want to learn French well and at the same time also want to learn it in a simple and fun way!

Private lessons

Lucie
Private lessons and tutoring in French, English and Spanish
Graduated from a Masters in Comparative Literature and a Masters in Literary Translation, currently a freelance translator, I offer tutoring courses for middle and high school students in French. I have already accompanied several students in their preparation for the French bac, who have all made good progress. With my students, I insist on acquiring a good methodology to succeed, and put special emphasis on self-confidence: text commentary and essay should not be scary exercises! I work with the texts studied in class and adapt to the student's needs: revisions, feedback on corrected homework, preparation for oral exams, writing exercises ... I can also help students learn English and Spanish, which are my working languages. We look forward to meeting you, and taking part of the literary journey together, Lucia

Shreshtha
Private one to one French tutor with personalized teaching approach
The quality of teaching has always been my first concern since I entered a classroom. The great master is someone who grows with his student. Transmitting “know-how” and “soft skills” paves the way to success. The teacher and the student are complementary and the relationship should be one of trust and faith. I am Miss Shreshtha, Mauritian, living in France with an infinite love for languages and literature. I have been a teacher for 13 years and also hold a master's degree in French with a literature specialization, I offer academic support, private lessons as well as homework help in the Colomiers / Tournefeuille / St Martin region and also online on webcam all year round. I also offer language initiation (for non-French speakers and non-English speakers). I can easily work with elementary and middle school students, high school students, students, adults and seniors. My classes normally last one hour with explanations, note-taking, homework, corrections and oral activities. I adopt a participatory and student-centered approach. I am completely bilingual (French and English) and I can perfectly help you in your acquisition of the target language whatever your initial level. Serious, responsible, dedicated and motivated, I am available immediately and will be delighted to provide you with more information on my professional background and my methodology.

French lessons (grammar, literature, written and oral expression).
This course aims to give a better command and knowledge of the French language, its history and its literature, by adapting to the needs and desires of each one. The grammar modules will make it possible to fix the functioning of the language, and will consist of lessons and application exercises. In terms of language learning, we will work on both written and oral expression. We will also discuss pages of French literature, in order to sketch their history and make the exercise of text commentary more accessible.

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.
