French Grammar and French conversation, culture, exercices, questions, translations

I take into account the way of learning of each person and I adapt the class to the needs of the students.
I offer classes that are various and interesting, we use articles, videos, exercises, and conversations on topics that are meaningful to you. Your progress, motivation, and fun is of great importance to me!

Besides helping you to become more fluent in French, I have a passion for French Grammar.
I have been teaching French for more than 15 years and I enjoy explaining difficult things in a simple way with clear examples. I can answer any question about French Grammar or make you practice what you know in theory.

For beginners, I use the book Alter Ego+ A1 with which I had great results over the years.
For advanced students, I use mainly videos and conversation.
I can help you to prepare the DELF as I am an official examiner.

Thank you! It was really useful session.
Had a birth chart session with Catherine a couple weeks back. It was a great session with many insights. Catherine is very communicative and adjusts the reading to your interests and needs. I would recommend it to anyone!
Catherine is patient and a great teacher with a good paced program. After 3 lessons I already feel progress. I'll definitely continue with her.
It was great working with Catherine! She is very patient and accommodating to my needs.
We got off to a great start!
...
Non-Violent Communication is a method invented by Marshall Rosenberg. It focuses on feelings and needs, it helps to develop empathy and communicate more clearly. I can teach you and help you to practise the 4 steps (Observation, Feelings, Needs, Request) and support you in a difficult situation.
I've been reading and explaining Astrological charts for 30 years. I can read and analyze your chart based on your date of birth, I like even better to teach Astrology so you learn to interpret yourself. Astrology is a fascinating symbolic system that gives great insight and self-knowledge. A reading includes a chart interpretation with strengths and challenges and about 1 year of forecast. I also do readings for relationships (partners, child and parent, business partners, potential partners...) Don't hesitate to contact me for more information.

Ask a question

Send a message explaining your needs and Catherine will reply soon:
The more detail, the better.
Ex. "Hi, when are you available to meet for a lesson?"

Private (online) french lessons with an experienced native teacher in Shanghai.

I am ready for you, self made PDF, audio files and much more. I always adapt my classes to the student's needs. We can focus on what's most important to you. Contact me for any further information, I'm ready to discuss your goals and my teaching method with you so that you can make up your mind.

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.

Younes
give courses in languages and applied biochemistry
My name is Younes and I give language lessons, for me teaching means learning twice so my learning method is based on simplicity and above all you have to move forward according to the student's rhythm to allow him to learn. improve and acquire new bases and be able to assimilate new information without ever becoming saturated.

Robert
Learn French with a French-speaking teacher, 7 days a week
Hello to all of you! I welcome you to my profile. You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French. Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning. Hence my presence on this site. My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French. To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges. I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere! You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours. This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible! It's all in your favor! Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.

Raphaëlle
Native French Tutor, passionate about sharing knowledge, with 4 years of experience in a Language Training Organization.
Graduated with a Master’s in Information and Communication Sciences, I offer online French courses for learners of all levels (beginner to advanced). With four years of experience in a Language Training Organization, I have had the opportunity to support learners—both native speakers, English speakers, and Spanish speakers—with various needs: - Preparation for official certification exams, - Business training focused on job interview preparation, product presentations, or conference preparation, Advanced level courses emphasizing public speaking, spelling, and syntax, - Conversational training to specifically enhance your speaking skills and work on pronunciation, - Beginner-level training for a thorough introduction to French, including in-depth work on phonetics, grammar, and spoken expression to help you engage confidently in your first conversations. To enhance the interactivity of the lessons and make them more dynamic, I use various types of educational materials: YouTube videos, audio clips (songs, radio shows, etc.), online exercises, and PowerPoint/PDF files with corrections. For advanced levels, it is ideal to conduct our exchanges solely in French to fully immerse you in the language. For beginner levels, reassurance is important, so we can use English or Spanish to help you feel more comfortable. After each lesson, I will provide you with a detailed report with tips to help you continue practicing independently. Enjoy adaptive courses for a true immersion in the heart of the French language. Contact me to start a new linguistic adventure! See you soon!
