About Me

▶️My approach

😻My rule of thumb: no class without a (moving) image, be it a game, movie (short or feature, animated or not), photo, drawing, meme, caption, painting, music video, TV show, documentary, report, sketch, an illustration or interview
😻I'll use 100% worksheets created or adapted by me that I continuously update
😻I love cats (I know you do too !) and I'll often include images and videos of cats in my lessons
😻I'll expose you to real life situations and teach you the contemporary, not the literary language
😻I'll prioritize conversation over writing and reading
😻I'll focus on practice and examples, not on theoretical concepts and rules
😻I'll seek to have an answer to all your questions and provide you with comprehensive explanations whenever possible
😻I'll evaluate your progress periodically and tell you what to do to improve your skills
😻I'll give you visibility on what we're going to do next
😻I'll constantly ask you for suggestions regarding topics you're interested in
😻I'll teach you the way I (would have) liked to be taught
😻I'll show you how to learn, not only what to learn
😻I'll respect your pace and I won't pressure you
😻I'll make you feel comfortable and at ease and improve your level of self-trust
😻I'll create a relaxed, informal and playful atmosphere
😻I'll do my best to make our classes fun and engaging, interactive and enjoyable, dynamic and diverse
😻I'll aim to keep you curios and focused 99% of the time
😻I'll try to make it seem easy even when it's difficult
😻I'll make you fall in love with the language you're learning
😻I'll turn our class into one of the best parts of your week and a nice life experience

Experience / Qualifications

I'm a dedicated and creative French, Romanian and English language trainer, with over 16 years of experience in the field. I'm an adept of tailored, customized courses, meant to facilitate a targeted, personalized approach, based on each student’s needs.
I use a large variety of interactive materials such as games, animations, short films, photos, paintings, songs and sketches, even when it comes to business language.
Teaching students from a wide range of backgrounds, with different levels and learning styles and paces, has considerably helped me refine my training skills over the time. I strongly believe one can best learn new notions by playing, visualizing and making analogies, not by memorizing by heart. I also prioritize conversation over writing and reading-based tasks, as I consider speaking essential when learning a language, no matter the level.
My teaching method together with my inherent passion for languages have until now successfully resulted in engaged students who learned how to study in an efficient way. This led to their significant progress and more than once to a shift of perspective regarding the idea of learning a foreign language, which doesn't have to involve boring, dense and predictable textbooks and can actually be interesting and fun.
I love what I do, as my activity implies continuous self-improvement and it also gives me the opportunity to leave an imprint behind.

Mathieu
Private online french lessons with an experienced native teacher in NYC.
Hi everyone, I'm Mathieu, 40 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. Now, I mainly teach private classes as a freelance, one to one. I have a12-year teaching experience in China and France, face-to-face and online through Skype or other similar tools. 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.

Majda

Robert
Learn French with a French-speaking teacher, 7 days a week
Hello to all of you! I welcome you to my profile. You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French. Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning. Hence my presence on this site. My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French. To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges. I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere! You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours. This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible! It's all in your favor! Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.
