Learn French with a certified and experienced teacher

I teach complete beginners as well as intermediaries and people who want to become advanced French speakers. I have experience with the following specific requests: classes for kids, DELF students & helping out high school students. I include homework when the student has time to do them, and prepare personalized classes.

I use the communicative based approach when teaching. I work with textbooks, authentic materials, exercises, songs... I usually give homework/preparation that the student can do alone (reading & listening comprehension) and during the lesson we speak as much as possible so that the student gets the most benefit from the lessons.

Extra information

I generally teach from about 14h to 19h CET. As I give a lot of classes online, I only go to the student's home within pretty restricted boundaries (Strassen, Merl, Belair) and even then I sometimes have to say no when the student asks me to come to his/her place.

About Me

ABOUT ME:

I've always loved learning languages myself, so it made sense when I started teaching them after my studies. Besides French and English I also speak Dutch, German, Luxembourgish and Italian. I love the close contact with the students, and it's a great feeling when they start being capable of correcting themselves and just generally speaking seeing their progress in real time!

METHODOLOGY:

My general philosophy: every class should be a challenge, but a doable challenge for the student. I tailor my classes to the student's goals and needs, and as much as possible to his/her personal interests (we always learn better when we're dealing with interesting and engaging content). I also always stress to my students that regularly dealing with input in your target language (reading books, watching videos or films, music...) is necessary, in addition to speaking classes with a teacher, to become truly fluent and at ease.

I also try to make my students as independent as possible, by helping them find videos, books and podcasts in French that interest them and learning methods that work for them so that they can also progress on their own.

Education

Preparatory Literary Classes at the Lycée Louis-le-Grand
Double Bachelor in French Letters and Philosophy at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne
Master in Contemporary and European Philosophy at the University of Luxembourg
TEFL training as a foreign language teacher in Rome

Élise is a lovely teacher. She makes the lessons fun and interesting.
Elise is a very procifient and experienced tutor. She is recommended.
I wanted to find someone with whom I could improve my written French, in particular to help me correct the mistakes I make when I write in French. I like working with Élise, because she quickly understood how she could help me. She is always well prepared for lessons. The exercises she offers are well targeted to my expectations. Even though it's difficult, I feel like I've already made progress. I also feel much more confident when I have to write in French. And that's very important to me.

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.
