About Me
Hi, and welcome to my Apprentus profile! My name is Marie, and I am a 26 years-old scientist. I come from France and have been living in Scotland for four years. I am passionate about the outdoors, mountaineering sports, as well as history and biochemistry. I am also a very curious person, so if you have any eccentric passion to share, I would love to focus on that during our tutoring sessions!Indeed, I am offering on this platform French lessons for all levels. I believe that teaching, and especially teaching languages, should be highly personalised: I love to work on themes and from material the students have a particular interest in. From this base, we will be able to draw lessons on grammar and conjugation - trying to keep it light so the classes remain interesting.
I am looking forward to discussing your passions in french! A bientot!
Education
- PhD in biochemistry from the university of Edinburgh (2018-2023)- MSc (equivalent) in physical chemistry from ESPCI Paris (2015-2018)
- physics & chemistry at Universite Paris Sud XI (2013-2015)
- Baccalaureat (Higher equivalent) focused on STEM from ESCR Ste-Famille (20120-2013)
Experience / Qualifications
My experience in teaching has been mainly science-focused in the past, I am happy and excited to switch it up to teaching language skills!During my PhD, I was involved in:
- laboratory demonstrating, during which I provided one-to-one advice about the scientific experiments the students were conducting
- tutoring fourth-year students during their end-of-studies projects (which last for four months). A great occasion to develop a lasting relationship, which gave me time to tailor my teaching style to their needs!
In the past, I have also had the chance to tutor several students in mathematics. Their abilities were vastly different from each other, and I got used to easily switch levels of teaching to adapt to their capacities and previous knowledge.

Practice your French! For beginners, intermediates and experts!French can be a difficult language to learn, especially if you are not surrounded by it all the time. However, a new language can be a useful for a CV, for University application, or even for your own cultural knowledge and experience. I can provide help with existing homework if you are already at school, and, I can be a source of practice (as practice makes progress!). I am very flexible and we can discuss what you feel you need to study. I will be here to offer advice on different things you can do to improve.

Teaching French/Russian to kids, students and adults. Teaching French/Russian vocabulary, grammar, literature, history, culture...I have studied at the French Lyceum Alexandre Dumas in Moscow and have been learning French since birth.
I teach French and Russian to kids, students and adults.
I have been teaching French/Russian since I was 14 years old. I helped my classmates pass their French and Russian exams by teaching them vocabulary and grammar. I have also helped them understand history, French and Russian literature, philosophy...
I have also helped kids learn French/Russian from the beginning while concentrating on broadening their general knowledge.
I have different approaches and techniques depending on my student.
-If I teach French/Russian to a kid, the lesson usually lasts for an hour. We play games, watch short movies, sing songs and discuss his topics of interest. The lesson is highly interactive, and the child is highly involved in the process.
-If I teach French/Russian to a student/adult, the lesson may last up to an hour and a half. Methods vary, depending on the level of proficiency in the language. We talk about different topics of interest and develop speaking and writing skills in a way that is interesting to the student.
If interested, French/Russian literature is studied by authors such as Baudelaire/Tolstoy and Maupassant/Turgenev. We could also converse about French/Russian history, culture and the country's traditions.

Bonjour, I’m a native French student in English studies and I have been a tutor for four years now, to students from the age of 9 to 18 with various learning profiles (dyspraxia, autism, dyslexia).
As a future teacher, the most important thing for me is to learn how to adapt to the students needs and ways of learning. There is no one perfect way to learn a language, and my goal is to help you or your child to find out more about yourself/themself and how your/their brain works ! Always searching for innovative ways of teaching, I will provide a personalised service to help you master French !
I accept beginners as advanced students in French studies who need tutoring or help on their essays.
I had my French baccalaureat in Economics with honours. I am fluent in English and has the IELTS certificate at 8 level.

Mathieu
Private online french lessons with an experienced native teacher in NYC.Hi everyone,
I'm Mathieu, 38 years old, from Paris, France. I'm a full-time professional french teacher. I lived in Shanghai for more than 5 years where I used to teach in french companies and language institutes.

I'm also a teacher in a business school here in Paris.You can check the comments that a few students of mine left here on my profile, to see that i'm a serious and competent teacher.
I'm fluent in english and speak an intermediate chinese mandarin.
I have all the materials necessary 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 the 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.
