I've taught in France, Denmark, India, Russia, Hong Kong and Berlin since 2009. I have a Didactic of Languages diploma from La Sorbonne University. I teach anyone from 4 years-old.

Lessons are tailored to each student using different books, music or movies to dispense knowledge of the French language and its culture. I look forward to meeting you!
 

You find French difficult?
You think you are bad at language?
You need to practice without being judged?
You don't get the spelling, the grammar, or the pronunciation?

But what if I told you that everyone can learn a language! We just need to find the method that suits you best. Therefore, and because I believe all students are unique and have specific needs, goals and learning strategies, my teaching style stands somewhere between an intuitive approach and a student-centered method.

I help you improve and reach your goals through engaging activities, interesting conversations and suitable exercises. With me, you learn a practical and useful French updated with common expressions, useful grammar tips, etc. You acquire speaking and understanding skills (and more…) naturally and without forcing for a better integration in the country.

Conversation is at the core of every lesson, and around it, we add various activities and exercise to help you. We do grammar when you require or want it. 

Together we create the class that suits you best.
No boring or stressful tasks. I make sure to keep you engaged and motivated.

I don't care if you do little mistakes, as long as you enjoy learning and keep learning! Therefore, I focus on nourishing your motivation and self-confidence. Have no worries, I won't belittle you or make you feel like you are back to school. This class is yours, and we are partners in this adventure!

About me?

 Initially I finished my baccalaureate in Literature (2001) but since then life brought me a bit everywhere. I volunteered for various populations (4 years), and graduated in BSSW (2019). Swiss, I call myself a wanderer because my heart got colored with all the beautiful cultures I have encountered on my exotic journey in Europe, Kenya, and Philippines. 

Since 2020, I have been blessed with wonderful students from all around the world: more than 150 students from +30 different nationalities. I love my work and the people I meet on the way!

Bonjour! 

Ready to unlock French with a visual method that gets you speaking before you even open a textbook?

I’m Romain, creator of a Revolutionary Visual Method that uses symbols to represent words, tenses, and grammar, with a clear and obvious symbol, helping your brain to memorize and make complex sentences.

This tool is great for people who need to visualize what they’re learning.

Why a visual method?

• Faster recall – Your brain stores images more easily than abstract rules.
• Immediate speaking – Place the symbols side by side and you’re forming real sentences in the very first class guaranteed.
• Engaging – Illustrations make every lesson fun and remarkably effective.
• Natural acquisition – Children learn languages visually, why should adults do it any other way?

Why study with me?

• Proven results – I’ve met countless students who could read and write after years of classes yet still couldn’t speak, my method fixes that.
• 10 years of global experience – I’ve taught in NYC, Shanghai, and Rio.
• Multilingual support – I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Mandarin, so I can clarify tricky points in your native language when needed.
• I have a lawyer degree but I followed my passion for languages and teaching French is my main activity.

For beginners & intermediate learners, the program covers

• Speaking in French from day one
• Rock-solid pronunciation and confidence
• Grammar made painless through visuals

For advanced learners, the program focuses on

• Slang, everyday expressions, their origins, and tricky grammar/tenses
• Expanding vocabulary with terms from science, tech, finance, literature, so you can discuss them with confidence
• Analyzing great songs.
• Perfecting your accent while deepening your understanding of French history, culture, and society

I just need to know your wishes, and I will prepare every time a special lesson for you, in accordance with your interests.

I’ll help building your confidence, did you know what a foreign accent is? It’s a sign of bravery!

À bientôt,
 

Hello Everyone, 

Languages are a passion of mine, I am currently working on language 5 and 6. Because I've been learning other languages  I am very familiar with the difficulties my students can have and which methods are efficient. 

My first objective is for my student to develop the skills to speak and understand French so that they can be independant consulting French content at home. My classes are very relaxed and I try to have a good time while I teach. My classes are tailored to each student's level. 

• For beginners: we work on the elements of the sentence, conjugating verbs, prononciation exercises, we read basic text and we start writing and speaking in French. we also introduce the idea of daily practice.
• For intermediates we work on more advanced grammatical concepts and conjugating with more tenses, we work with audio and written format (about 50/50 technique and practice)
• For advanced students we usually do more conversation based exercises, prior to the class I'll send a podcast, documentary, youtube video, movie extracts and more and the student have to express their thoughts, their critic or commentary on the topic, on my hand I will ask questions to keep the conversation going. We can also do interview prep, review of essays written in French etc.

 I also do give a little bit of homework.

I've been teaching French online since 2016, previously having worked developing the skills of young people, adults and foreigners of all levels.

In my opinion, a teacher’s enthusiasm, patience, humour and understanding of their students’ needs are key to help a student learn efficiently, and for the student to enjoy lessons which is important for learning,

I adapt my teaching to your needs which will naturally vary according to your personnel situation, from beginner to advanced level, as a teenager at school or student, or as a mature learner. Choosing topics which interest you is very important.

Your needs may vary such as:

- learning the French language, discovering French culture, history or current affairs.

- seeking conversational French to keep up your level. If you have an intermediate level or above, we can speak about any topic that interests you.

- wanting to improve or refresh your French before visiting France or working in a French speaking country. De

- wishing to improve your French for professional use.

- looking to pass French proficiency exams such as DELF (A2 to B2) and DALF (C1 to C2).

Teaching method:

I use a variety of tools and aids such as books for grammar and vocabulary, specific books for exams such as DELF, press articles, podcasts and literature.

We start with a small test to establish your level and then progress to discussion, reading and writing exercices. I can send you material according to your needs.

About me:

My interests include travel especially in Europe. I spend my time between Provence and Northern Ireland ; nature, animals, and the environment. I loved horse riding ; sustainability ; history, architecture and philosophy ; geopolitics ; food and especially French and Asian food.

Hello, how are you? My name is Sylvain, I'm 30 and from Belgium. I currently live in São Paulo, Brazil with my wife. I have a degree in management, but I've been working as a French teacher since I arrived in Brazil. 
I did a university exchange in Chile, which helped me learn Spanish.  I'm a curious person and I'm interested in almost every topic, but I particularly like talking about the economy, politics, technology and cultural differences between countries.After arriving in Brazil, an opportunity came up for me to work as a French teacher in a school for adults, where I worked for the first two years. After that, I decided to become self-employed and concentrate on one-to-one, in-company and online teaching. Today, I have students of all levels with different objectives (work, travel, pleasure, French language maintenance, diplomacy etc.) and I love it when they are satisfied and see themselves progressing. On top of that, I find it very interesting to be able to talk to people with different profiles, backgrounds and histories.


We will define the material to be used according to your specific needs. We'll work with a variety of materials such as:
-French language methods (Défi, Tout va bien, Alter Ego, etc.)

-Grammar/vocabulary books covering general themes or more specific to your objectives 

-Recent articles, videos and audios on current topics

-Speaking or conversational exercices

-Test preparation

In addition, I try to stimulate the student to talk about different themes that are important to him/her.


 

Hi guys! It's Rita here :)

I am an enthusiastic French teacher (I also teach English, Russian, Spanish and German). So, your mother tongue can be any of these languages  as I   speak and teach in all of these languages. Learning grammar is only one part of learning a language, the other part is practicing, and of course having as much fun as possible during the learning process! I work with a book to give your learning a structure. However, I also choose interesting videos, audio files and conversation topics so that you get immersed into the language as much as possible. 

My focus lies on the right pronunciation, motivating you and showing you that learning a language can be lots of fun. I have lived and worked two years in the South of France and have a German diploma in translation and interpretation for French, German and English. I speak 7 languages and 5 of them fluently. I want to show you that it is possible to learn a new language fast and with fun. I usually need 3-4 weeks in order to speak a new language fluently. How do I do it? Through as much immersion into the language as possible: reading books, comics, watching cartoons, films, YouTube videos, listening to songs, and speaking to natives in real life and online.

My students have a high success rate as I have over 15 years of teaching experience (I started tutoring the younger kids in English when I was at college, and worked as a language coach during my studies). See you soon in class! Sending you lots of good vibes, Rita

For me, learning is practicing, doing, imitating, and acting.

Speaking with a native French speaker is the easier way to get comfortable with the slang, intonation, and mannerisms.

I'm here to give you an awesome pronunciation, a fluid spoken, giving you more vocabulary and I’ll be really focusing on how to make you be more fluent and comfortable to speak this beautiful language.

My name is Léa, I am 27 years old and I am a French native, born and raised in the South of France, in Toulouse.

I also speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese and I've been teaching French for 3 years now.

So if you are ready to learn while having fun, send me a message, and let’s start!:)

Bonjour !

My name is Stephanie and I am a native French speaker born and raised in France. I have been teaching French online since 2015 and I have students all over the world. I really take pleasure in doing it. I have lived in Canada for over 10 years and as a self-taught language learner, I easily understand the challenges you have to go through to learn a foreign language. 


I focus my lessons on speaking and all my lessons are tailored to your level and needs.

For beginners, I use small dialogues to learn the basics of conversation and through them I explain the vocabulary, grammar and conjugation.

If you need to practice your pronunciation and learn vocabulary I would propose a read-aloud lesson. I will choose a text according to your level or you can bring your own material.

For intermediate and advanced level, I can offer a French conversation lesson. During the conversation you will learn every-day expressions, enhance your fluidity and improve your listening and understanding level.

With a background in human resources, I am good at listening and giving feedback. I can provide clarity, confidence and tailored lessons to help you progress in learning French. Patient and creative I like to teach in a fun way which is one of the keys to success.

During my spare time, I love hiking, painting and studying languages.

So let's meet and have fun learning French together!

À bientôt !

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to check my profile !

As a teacher, I’m very patient and caring. My goal is to provide you with a comfortable environment where we will turn any mistakes into a learning opportunity.

Lessons I teach :

1- Conversation classes 

2- TEF Canada/ TCF Canada exam preparation classes : Speaking & Writing

3- French for beginners

In conversation classes, I’ll give you plenty of time to speak and I will provide you with detailed feedback that will help you get a better understanding of the use of French. I choose topics we can talk about during and plan lessons around them. However, you are very welcome to choose topics that fit your own interests.

For exam preparation classes, I will focus on improving your writing and speaking skills to help you reach the score you aim at. I have helped many students get the B2+ and more in TEF and TCF Canada exams.

As for beginners classes, we can use a manual or have informal classes.
