French Intensive Classes | French Native teaches gets you to speak in record time!
Hello!
My name is Sofia, and I've been teaching languages for seven years.
I grew up in France and went to a bunch of multilingual schools, making me native in French and fluent in English.
My lessons are heavily focused on practicality. You will speak and listen to French from day one.
Grammar, use of language and sentence structure are still a part of the deal, but I focus on their functionality for the speaker.
This means that, unless you are very interested in learning all of French grammar, I will not go deep into grammar topics that don't require us to.
I provide:
=> Practical lessons, in order to get as much french out of you as possible!
=> A comprehensive study structure, designed according to your hardships and objectives.
=> Empowering lessons, in order for you to feel confortable to speak when you want to speak.
=> Ocasional themed lessons, to make classes dynamic and motivating.
=> Productive homework assignments, based on what your french speaking needs.
=> Exposition to the francophone world, in order to root for your imersion in the language.
A little bit about me:
Part of my teenage years were in Portugal, and growing up, I saw my peers having a hard time learning how to speak French and English.
With time, I understood that traditional language teaching methods rarely ever insist on speaking skills, so I decided to take action and built my entire method on filling up that gap.
I'm also an avid language learner, and I've been through it all:
=> The embarrassment of trying to speak to a local and not being understood in the least way;
=> The confusion of not knowing when to start
=> Feeling scared about making mistakes in my goal language and post-poning my learning because of that.
=> And all the hardships you can think of!!
Recently, I've reached my 100th happy student. I want to help another 100 of you.
Can you help me with that?

About Me
Hi! My name is Sofia, and I am a French and English teacher. I really enjoy learning languages, crochetting, producing music, and singing.Currently, I am also a student like you, as I am learning how to sing and produce music, and I am learning Italian.
I know what it's like to be scared of speaking a new language and making a fool of yourself, not knowing where to start. So, I understand how and I want to help you.
I started teaching because I have been fluent in French and English since I was eight, and it felt like a comfortable and easy way to enter the working world.
However, over time, I realized that I love teaching.
I love realizing that I helped someone through their journey of self-development.
Because of that, I focus my lessons on empowering and making my students feel comfortable and confident speaking the language they are learning.
I like to teach students who:
=> are eager to learn
=> determined,
=> want to achieve results in months.
I enjoy intense teaching periods where the student and I work hard together to reach their French or English goals. Of course, the intensity depends on how much time the student has and how much of an investment they can make. But, in general, I like my classes to be productive, and I want the student to feel like the class made a difference that day.
I've been teaching languages for 7 years now. It started as a part-time job when I was in high school, tutoring students from middle and high school. With time, I realized that traditional teaching methods do not reach everyone, so I became determined to make my classes different.
In 2021, I started teaching French to adults, feeling there's a lack of offers for adults who want to learn languages in a practical way. In 2022, I launched my business, and by August of that year, teaching became my full-time job. In the past 14 months, I've helped nearly 100 people reach their goals in French and English, and I aspire to help a hundred more.
In October 2022, I tested my A1 French curriculum for group classes on a group of students for free. In February 2023, I began teaching my first A1 French course. Since then, I've launched my French A2, B1, and B2 courses.
Currently, I have students living in Belgium and moving to Switzerland after our learning journey.
I focus my classes on:
=> speaking practice- because you learn a language by speaking!
=> imersion in French/American culture and language.
=> teaching you how to learn autonomously, outside our class, so you learn the most you can outside of class too.
=> Use of language, the funcionality of grammar and sentence structure.
Grammar, language use, pronunciation, and listening are not ignored.
I always send homework to my students, tailored to what they need the most at the moment—whether it's grammar exercises, written expression, an opinion text on a video, or listening to a song.
When my students ask for a one-on-one lesson, I tailor it to their needs, including their interests or professional domains.
If my student goes to school, I keep up with what they're learning and try to enhance their knowledge with additional sources and learning methods.
I believe a student armed with multiple tools will have an easier time dealing with new themes.
As always, I focus on practice because the more you practice a language, the more intuitive it becomes, and the less you stress about grammar and rules.
My objective is to get people to feel confortable and confident while dealing with French and English.
Education
Political Science BSSC, at the University of Lisbon.High school and Middle school education in Ombrosa - Multilingual School of Lyon, France and EABH-American School of Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
Experience / Qualifications
I have a Cambridge Certificate that proves my English C1 level (I missed the C2 level mark by 2 points, and I took the exam as a formality)My French level was evaluated as C1.2, by a recruiting agency which I teach French at.
I had not spoken French on an everyday basis for 8 years when I took the exam, so right now, I'm at a functioning C2.1 level.

Private lessons in French and work methodologyMy name is Jonathan. I am a young teacher with already 15 years of experience in the field of academic support for primary and secondary school children up to rhetoric.
I also provide individual monitoring for your work method, more particularly in terms of understanding the instructions and the work schedule. If you need a helping hand, I'm here to listen.

Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacherI 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.

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.

Learn French with a French-speaking teacher, 7 days a weekHello 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.
