Learn French with me, native French, and certified teacher! For kids and adults

Bonjour :)

Native French speaker living in Vantaa, I obtained a certificate of teaching French as a foreign language from the Alliance Française in 2022. I will be happy to help you practice your skills in French.

The class is flexible according to what you are willing to improve.
It can be a simple conversation to practice your oral skills. It can also be a class focused on grammar rules with some exercises to practice, or a class based on a text, a song, or an image... We can decide together according to your level what would fit best for you!

Also, I took "French teaching for children" as a specialty when I passed the exam for the French teaching certificate and I worked at Jules Verne French school so I know how to adapt the class to younger :)

About Me

I am a 29-years-old journalist and teacher of French as a foreign language, currently living in Vantaa, Finland.

In 2021-2022, I followed a 10-month training and in June 2022, I passed the certification of teaching French as a foreign language delivered by the Alliance Française. With this training, I was able to learn how to create a class sequence and many techniques to allow French learners to improve as effectively as possible. I took "teaching for kids" as a specialty.

As a journalist, I have writing skills more developed than other native French speakers and I always keep an open and curious mind about the world. That is why I am thrilled to teach my language to people from different parts of the world !:)

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

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.

Paul
Learn French (FLE) and/or Spanish (ELE) with a French native teacher living in Spain.
Bonjour, Salut, I’m Paul, from (little) Brittany, the wonderful west coast of France! I have been studying and practicing foreign languages for many years. I have lived in Spain since 2017 and started teaching French in 2020 as a native teaching assistant in local Spanish schools. After graduating with a Master's degree in teaching, I now teach French (and Spanish) to all types of learners. I will always adjust my methods to meet the learners’ needs and/or preferences. The speaking and pronunciation are central points of my methodology to make sure that students learn how to understand and speak like natives. I also tend to use interesting resources and bring cultural aspects in class as well as a little touch of humor. Don’t hesitate to contact me. We can discuss your objectives/preferences and how I can help you achieve them. Have a nice day, à bientôt !
