Native French teacher with 7 years experience online and many more on one to one classes, I know that the key of success for learning a language is the quality of the relationship between the student and the tutor. My duty is to understand the way you learn and adapt my teaching to your skills....regular work and motivation are the other elements ;-)

I am from the south-west of France.. I really like my native language and I am deeply interested in the history of France, its literature, culture, cuisine...and I am also very international as I lived abroad many years, and enjoyed it so much ! I have traveled a lot, met a lot of people and learned different languages such as English, Spanish & Bulgarian...so I've been a learner all my life. I understand the learning mechanisms.

I've also helped a lot of people in their study of French : homework, conversations, pronunciation, French for business, pleasure, practical life, personal projects...thus, I teach different levels (beginners to advanced) and different abilities.

I will adapt to your level and your needs. We will choose the topics together. It could vary from very practical conversations to cultural topics : music, books, photography (my hobby), trips, cinema, sport, etc.. Sometimes, we will go through some vocabulary and grammar rules...your French will improve quickly !

The main idea is that you and I are having a great time together, having fun seeing your improvements lesson after lesson :-) Hope to meet you soon

I was a school teacher in France for 4 years, before moving to Argentina where I taught French for one year. 

Back in France, I have been giving French lessons online for more than two years now.

My method:

- Discuss well at the outset to determine your level, your goals, your interests, what you expect from online courses, in order to prepare a 100% personalized course.

- I rely on different methods for beginners, which I adapt to each student according to their progress. For people who have a more advanced level I like to rely on texts or videos for discussion. If the students wish, I can provide grammar/vocabulary exercises to be done outside the class, in order to devote the time of the lesson to conversation/oral practice. 

- I am listening to you after the course in order to evolve our way of working so that the methodology sticks as much as possible to what you need. 

- I send a summary of the notions studied during the course by e-mail (so no need to take notes during the lesson), for those who wish I can send "homework” to prepare the next course. 

My interests: travel, literature, languages (I am currently learning Spanish and Russian, so I am myself in the position of the learner and I know that it is not always easy!).  

I look forward to meeting you and accompanying you in your learning French!

Bonjour everyone ! 

My name is Oana Maria and I am a professional language teacher and a Linguist graduated at the University of Bordeaux , France. I am currently living in North Norway. I came here to take a second master on Sami language and culture, and recently I have been working in an alternative school with kids. 

I am an eternal language learner and a nomad at heart. I love getting to know new places, living in different countries and cultures and never stop learning. I consider learning a language as buying a new pair of shoes that will lead you to a new culture, experience and life style. And definitely, open up your horizons. 

I am currently developing my own methodology to teach languages through theater and arts, therefore my lessons are full of games, dialogues and dramaturgical exercices to make you feel comfortable using the language but also creative and dynamic and ready to use the language in everyday situation. 

I am looking forward to meeting you and walk together the fun, exciting and sometimes challenging path of learning a new language. I am here to guide you ! Let's go !

BONJOUR! My name is Charlotte and I’m looking forward to becoming your FRENCH TEACHER :-)

In your first class, we will discuss your GOALS and evaluate your LEVEL, so I can prepare a TAILOR-MADE program for you! I provide everything from articles, to grammar, vocabulary, exercises, etc. So all you have to worry about is to SHOW UP and PRACTICE!

I also like to focus on your CONVERSATION skills and help you improve your PRONUNCIATION, with my method you will be talking French in no time! I always come to class PREPARED and with a BIG SMILE !

Hi everyone! My name is Sebastien. I'm a certified French teacher. I am originally from France, but in 2014 I decided to move to Colombia where I currently live and work.  I hold the DAEFLE (Diploma in Teaching French as a Foreign Language). I have a good level of English and speak Spanish fluently. I consider myself a calm, patient, attentive and flexible person. I love to travel ! In an increasingly connected world, discovering new languages and new cultures are aspects that seem fundamental to me!

Concerning my professional experience, I worked in different language institutes from 2014 to 2020. Since 2020, I have been working as a private online FLE teacher. In addition, all of this has given me the opportunity to work with different audiences, mainly adults and teenagers, with different objectives:

- study in a French-speaking country.

- work in a French-speaking country.

- take a French exam (DELF / TCF)

- go sightseeing in a French-speaking country.

- pleasure in learning a new language.

I adapt my lessons to your French level, to your experience with learning French and to your objectives. Do you want to travel, study or work in a French-speaking country? Certify your level of French? Learn a language for fun? I will prepare my lessons according to your expectations and your objectives so that your learning process is a real pleasure and not an obligation!

My methodology is based on COMMUNICATION and ACTION, and is oriented towards learning grammar, vocabulary and phonetics through authentic documents. Knowing how to conjugate the past tense is good! But knowing how to use it to tell a friend what you did last weekend is better! The objective of my courses is that you can communicate in real life situations through different comprehension and production activities (oral and written).

Hi, my name is Farid. Teaching French is something I really enjoy, especially when I witness my students progressing in the language and towards their goals. I have been teaching French for almost 4 years now. My students are children, teenagers and adults of all ages and levels. My lessons are usually customized to meet the needs of the students. I use different materials to teach my students; like comprehension texts, dialogues, stories, vocab materials, games..etc.. I have obtained a Level 7 Diploma in Teaching skills and I also hold a DBS check up-to-date.

In 2010, I left my birth country France to move to the United Kingdom. I am currently in Algeria for a few months, as I wanted to (re)discover my parents country. I love travelling and discovering new cultures and languages. I also speak a little Arabic. 

Book now a trial with me to set the goals you want to achieve. As a French native, I can help you to improve your pronunciation in addition to the grammar. I have been living in the UK for 12 years which made me fully bilingual. With a bit of motivation and a hint of work, your French will upgrade in no time!

Bonjour !

Thanks for choosing me and welcome on my profile :)
I'm Lola, 30, and a full time french teacher. Four years ago I managed to conciliate my job and living abroad as a digital nomad and when I came back to France it was a natural decision to keep going with this job as I love teaching.

I would say my biggest assets are : 

• Efficiency - experienced - organized
  I studied Spanish rigorously and on my own while living abroad so I know exactly how a student's mind works and what are the best options to learn efficiently a language. Combined with my experienced as a teacher, you are assured to reach your goals.
• Perfect mix between traditional methods and fun
  You had a hard time learning a language in school ? Don't worry. With FunFrench you'll learn the basics using entertaining methods based on conversation and targeted exercices. Every class and study plan is made "à la carte" according to your needs and level. If you already know french, we'll make sure to upgrade your conversation!
• Determined - patient
  I am a very determined girl, so if you decided to pick me, I will be honoured and that makes me a very motivated teacher to help you the best I can.
  I also think that a great teacher has to be patient. Learning french can be challenging but you'll never see me upset or annoyed if something takes more time than usual. I always say : the more mistakes, the merrier ! This is how you learn :)

Don't hesitate and book your trial session now !

Looking forward to hear from you,

A bientôt
