Easy and Effective French Learning Courses with Fun :))

Passionate about languages and the art of transmitting knowledge, I hold a PhD in Language Science, with a major in linguistics. My years of experience as FLE teacher (in France and Germany) and my PhD on the simplification of specialized medical texts (for non-experts) have sharpened my sense of pedagogy.
I therefore offer my learners personalized French classes that address all their specific needs, both oral and written, through a personalized and easy learning process and in a good atmosphere. Thanks to this method, you will quickly notice improvements in your language skills.
The course schedule will be defined after discussion and according to your availability. Given the current situation, the courses will be mainly online (via Zoom or Skype) but with the possibility of organizing face-to-face sessions if needed.

Extra information

To ensure a quality learning, those who register to learn French as a foreign language (e.i. who are not interested in support classes), might sometimes need to provide themselves with the indicated learning material

About Me

I am passionate about teaching, about knowledge transfer and about languages that is the reason why i carried out studies, and most particularly my PhD, around this specific topic : languages. Thus is teaching languages a passion for me, an activity that brings me joy. The satisfaction of my learners is my main objective and we work together in order to make it possible. As a passionate teacher, i always endeavour to increase learning potentials of my students by creating an effective learning environment. Indeed my teaching method is entirely shaped by the learner’s needs, but there are at least three ingredients that never miss : fun, simplicity and effectiveness, because from my 4 years teaching experience, I came to understand that fun and simplicity (in the way the lesson is taught) play a key role for an effective and successful teaching.

Very nice, committed teacher. Lessons are interesting, it's never boring, the lesson goes by so quickly, it's always a shame that it's already over :). She writes down everything I said wrong, corrects it, and I can repeat everything later. Definitely a teacher with whom you can learn a language well!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
