Native French speaker
Art History (BA in Art History and Archaeology, specializing in Prehistoric and Contemporary Art, in 1985), Archeology (MA in Art History and Archaeology, specializing in North African Rock Art, in 1986), both at the Sorbonne; Visual Anthropology and Film Studies (with Jean Rouch at Ecole Pratique des Hautes Études, in 1987), at M.Phil. level, at the University of Rennes 2, France (First Class Honors in History and Civilization, specializing in post-Byzantine frescoes related to donors and founders of the Holy Mountain of Mount Athos; in 1991 in Rennes 2 University (Prof Xavier Barral I Altet ), and in cooperation with the University of Thessaloniki (Prof Charalambidis)).
Jean-Michel Sourd was part-time lecturer at Hong Kong University (School of Professional And Continuing Education) from 2002-2015, designing new courses in Film Studies, which combines cinema history and arts theories. He incorporated his cross-disciplinary knowledge into teaching French as a Foreign Language in both Shanghai (1993) and Hong Kong (1993-2023)
After being Head of French Department (1993-2023) at Diocesan Boys'School, Hong Kong, he is now a pedagogical consultant in Bologna.
Sourd has acquired a multi-cultural approach towards arts and linguistics throughout the years. Coupled with the insight in ethno-anthropological and aesthetic theories, he often reframes art history and literature within an historical context. , his travel and besides intellectual encounter with the Mount Athos allow him to develop an analytic and synthetic mind; he is constantly pushing boundaries and finding ways into new research methodologies.

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.

Quality courses in French and FLE, given with kindness, pedagogy and humor.
Hello everyone! My name is Amandine, I was born in France and will be delighted to help you learn the language of Molière, whatever your age, your country of residence, your current level and your goals. Having obtained my baccalaureate at 16, I started giving private lessons at the age of 14. Today, I have a very long and solid experience, particularly with children, although I also enjoy helping adults. My lessons and materials are fun and stimulating. As for my method: since I am convinced that everyone is unique in their needs, interests, reasoning and sensitivity, it simply consists of adapting to each of my students, to optimize their progress as well as their desire and pleasure to learn. To this end, I have had the chance to enrich my passion by supporting DYS or HPI children and I also have adapted course materials. The availability times on my schedule are informative and not exhaustive. I adapt as much as possible to the requirements of each person, as well as to the time difference for my future students outside France. I currently teach French cycle 2 & 3 to four boys (two sets of twins) who live in China. ;-) I look forward to helping you achieve your goals, do not hesitate to contact me!
