Intermediate or advanced French conversation

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello,

I am a French speaker and my strongest language is French. I studied English/Spanish Translation. You should know that the target language, into which we translate, is French, so the French courses in Translation are super advanced. I love the French language, its expressions, its subtleties, its style, its grammar, its etymology. I like expressing myself in French and I like correcting the mistakes that I hear, that I read, that I see. I studied the CAP (Certificate of Pedagogical Aptitudes) for 8 years, with courses in Psychopedagogy, Didactics of Disciplines, Education Law, Education Communication, etc.

I am very caring. I can correct the student's mistakes and bring him to another level. I have been to Paris several times. I am Belgian. I know how to motivate the troops. If I do not know how to answer a question, I promise to do research and answer it at the next session. French is my passion. I like transmission and the subtleties of language.

It is important to bring something to write with to take notes during the lesson and to reread your notes from one session to the next. It is important that the course is regular. We can also meet in a public place (restaurant, café), for the course location, close to my home (Ma Campagne, St Gilles), if you are carried by the atmosphere of the place.

Bachelor in English/Spanish Translation, and holder of a CAP diploma (Certificate of Teaching Aptitudes) I give private English lessons for pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, style, etc. through conversation. I taught English to groups of children in private schools, teenagers in remediation, then adults in the French Community of Belgium for 15 years. Belgian-American, I am native. I have traveled to London many times to visit art galleries and concerts with friends. I have stayed in the USA a large number of times because my family on my father's side lives there and family is important to me. I provide teaching materials if necessary but a financial contribution for copies is required at the start of the course in addition to the amount of each lesson. I correct the errors by proposing one or more alternatives to the erroneous version but I do not cut the person off while they are speaking, I wait for the end of the sentence, the end of the paragraph, so as not to cut them off. fluidity. I also work by theme by providing copies with texts to read or grammar exercises to do, either at the moment or the next time. I give homework if it suits the student, otherwise, all the work is done in class, and the student reviews between sessions, for faster improvement in their level. We can also work on songs based on song lyrics. Texts based on press articles. It is necessary to be curious, to dare to ask questions, to dare to have a thirst for knowledge and a desire to learn, through trial and error. I use innovative methods. If I don't know how to answer a question, I write it down and answer it in the next class.
The teacher is passionate about Spanish and Spanish and Latin American culture. She has stayed in Spain countless times. She loves the Spanish language and its subtleties. She loves communicating in Spanish with her friends. She loves traveling to Spain and Central America. She worked with the Latin America House as a journalist after doing interviews and writing articles during her travels. Based on an article or a theme brought up by the student or professor, the conversation between professor and student can begin. Then the teacher takes notes of the errors she hears. She transmits this information to the student after he has finished speaking, so as not to interrupt his fluency. Thus the student learns how to improve by asking the teacher questions and taking notes of the answers.
The teacher has been singing for 22 years. She studied Solfeggio and Piano at the Musicole (Uccle) then Singing and Soflège at the Académie de Saint Gilles, in Lyric Singing. She took group singing lessons with several renowned teachers (La Voie Créatif, Frédérique Rochette, Jérôme Porsperger, Corps Chant Voix). The teacher has a piano to work on vocals and piano. The teacher works on the basis of song texts. The student discovers or recognizes the song after choosing between several titles. The teacher adapts to her student's tastes as to the type of music that pleases him, she transmits her knowledge of singing whether for melody, for rhythm, for the placement of the voice and breathing. The teacher encourages the student and is caring. The teacher transmits her taste and passion for music. The teacher can also provide sheet music for classical or other music songs upon request. The teacher sings in a choir. It is also possible to work on rhythm using a metronome and a djembe, although the teacher is not a djembe specialist.

Private French / Literature lessons for secondary school students
Some students may need a helping hand to make up for gaps in French or to get used to writing. I am here for this. Having studied literature in Paris and loving the French language, I can support your pre-teens and teenagers towards success in French. Through courses, practical exercises and personalized coaching, I hope that your child learns to appreciate French and makes considerable progress. I realize that learning grammar and spelling rules can be boring and painful, which is why I always try to bring a fun aspect to learning. Through my work in a youth center, I am used to adolescents and know how to talk to them and encourage them to work and progress towards their academic and social development. I can also help with exam preparation. Don't hesitate to call me, you won't be disappointed!

Methodology courses - for every subject learnt at school
The methodology courses allow you to acquire a good foundation in terms of method, efficiency and management of school work at any level. Planning, organization and synthesis: essential reflexes to allow everyone to develop an adequate and above all effective working method. We must also not forget the importance of the different techniques for memorizing the student, his way of revising his lessons and self-assessment.

English and French lessons
English is a primordial language today. That's why I went to study for one year at a language school in Oxford. Since then, I am a student at IHECS where the focus is on learning the English language. I am entering fifth grade. So I gained knowledge that I can use for students (primary or secondary) who want to improve or improve their basics. If you are a beginner, this is not a problem. Progress guaranteed!
