Looking for a French teacher or French classes for adults in Geneva?

Bonjour !

Thanks for considering taking classes with me and welcome on my profile :)
I'm Lola, 28, and a full time french teacher. Three years ago I managed to conciliate my job and living abroad as a digital nomad so I like to think that wherever I am my students are there with me. So pack your swim suit and snowboard because you never know in which country you're gonna end up virtually !

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. During our classes 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.
• 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 :)

Looking forward to hear from you!

A bientôt

Hello my name is teacher Sussu and I am so happy to meet you.

I am an experienced teacher with more than 17 years of experience.

I have a Master's degree in TESOL, FLE, and Montessori certified.

I believe that learning a new language should be fun and exciting.

Yes, it is not always easy, but it is more like a puzzle you build piece by piece.

I always start where you are and offer new ways to use and expand what you already know.

My priority in class is to make sure my student speak and relax.

The more relaxed, the more confident they will be. The more daring, the more they will see that it is okay to make mistakes and try again.

I will always challenge you to reach higher, to add one step and then another step in your language journey. And then, you will have fun doing so.

Plus, I match my classes to your interests and goals.

So what do you think?

Are you ready to book a trial with me?

I promise to always be patient and kind.

I hope to see you soon.

Until then...

Bonjour ! My name is Wendy Mesnard,

With me you will learn French according to your own needs and goals. 

Why do you wish to learn French?  

Together we can improve your conversation, reading and listening skills in formal and informal French, prepare your exams or a job interview, learning the daily vocabulary you may need while travelling or moving to France, be able to comunicate with your boyfriend/husband's family, etc... You choose  and I adapt my teaching according to your needs and preferences.

I endeavour to vary the teaching materials (video, articles, games, role play ...) and be as interactive as possible with you!

If you wish, I will also send you some exercises, podcasts and other things to do between classes.  

At the end of every class I will send you a recap, together we will build up a learning plan for you and we will check that we are going in the right direction with some quick test every  5 lessons or so if you wish to!

About me : Native French from Nantes I have taught French for 10 years. I have a certificate from the Alliance Française and I speak fluent English, Italian and Spanish. I am a friendly and patient teacher ! ;)  Have a look at my video in French  and I’ll see you soon on Languatalk !

Bonjour!

I’m Yousra and I am a French tutor with more than 200 hours experience teaching online :D

Do you know that I’ve been practicing French for 18 years :D It’s because I spent my entire academic and university’s career in French.

Today, I’m here to help you learning French, starting by clarifying your learning needs and setting short and long term goals.

I will provide you with courses that match with your specific needs and interests, whether to develop your communication, your writing skills, or even to learn the basics of the French language. Also, in order to make our courses rich and varied, we will use a variety of materials, such as texts, articles, videos, audio notes, etc. Moreover, I can assign you some exercises that will help you to consolidate your learnings.

And since I care about your improvement :D I will also share with you some tips that you can do everyday in order to keep practicing French even outside the class :)

Can't wait to meet you in our first class!

Yousra,

Let's set your goal and start a work plan! There are many reasons to learn French, such as:

• Passing exams such as the DELF, TEF or DFP.
• Travelling or living in a French-speaking country
• Work requirements and career growth

I can help with all of the above, and more.

It is always a pleasure to be able to have a fluent conversation (or a heated debate) with students who sometimes started as total beginners and to see them acing their exams.

As for the method, I use trusted manuals and activity books because I believe in structure, but also material that suits your interests and tastes - from literature to popular songs, news to scientific articles, series, and movies (subtitled or not), online resources and grammar exercises. Resources are shared on a Slack group where lessons are summarized, and tasks listed. I can also tailor-make lessons for a specific objective like a job interview or a power point presentation.

Teaching French has been my main activity for several years both privately and at the Alliance Française. I am outgoing and chatty, but homework is not optional (at least if you want to improve fast!).

Do not hesitate to book a trial session.

See you soon!

I wasn’t always a French tutor. I have been working with and for various companies for over 15 years.

I am passionate about languages since my youngest years. During my long stays abroad, I used to teach my roommates and friends. A few years ago, I decided to teach my native language in a more formal way. I started on a volunteering basis, teaching French to migrants.

After a while, I felt the need to improve my mastery of French teaching. That’s the reason why I decided to get a certification with the Cavilam Alliance Française of Vichy. There, I was trained according to the action-oriented approach recommended by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

As a certified teacher, I am able to provide you with customised, dynamic, playful lessons based on your individual needs. My goal is also to help you to learn how to learn with pleasure! Whatever your level or goals are, we will build up, together, the best learning plan for yourself.

A bientôt !

Hello and welcome to my page !   

My name is Célia, a native French teacher living in Germany. I have graduated of my master of French as a Foreign Language [teaching French to foreigners] in 2020 at the university of Paul-Valéry in Montpellier, and I became a DELF (A1-B2) corrector in 2022. I grew up in a small village next to Montpellier, and I have been living in Germany for the past 3 years.

During my master’s degree, I learned how to create didactic unit (lessons), exams, and how to use the CEFR (common European Framework of Reference for Languages). I have been teaching French online for the last 3 years to students ranging from level A1 to level B2, and students of all ages: children, teenagers, and adults. Whether you need some help with preparing an exam, want to build on your knowledge or just want to practice your oral skills, I am more than happy to help you!

During our first class, I will ask you: why you want to learn French, what are your goals, what are your interests, if you want to study one aspect of the language more than another, what is your current level of French etc. Our first conversation during our trial lesson will allow me to get an idea of your level and to prepare a plan for our next lessons. The resources I use are diverse: oral comprehension from the media, text comprehensions [studies of books, articles, extracts of text], grammar exercises etc. The resources are adapted to your level and your objectives. Most of the resources will be provided to you. I also provide a lesson file and homework for each lesson （- ＾ ▽ ＾ -).

My teaching method is mainly based on communicative and action-oriented approaches. My goal is to involve students as much as possible in their learning, to encourage them to express themselves as much as possible in French in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. I am aware that learning a language is not easy. Sometimes you fear making mistakes, but that's part of the learning process. I am here to help you gain self-confidence, encourage you and guide you on this journey of learning a language.

I am passionate about civilization and languages. Likewise, I love to share my culture with foreigners as I get to know theirs. I am sure we can find many interesting topics to discuss and build up your French skills quickly!

A bientôt!

Hello!

I am Chantal, a native French speaker. I also speak English fluently, and I have some knowledge of Spanish. I have been a Certified Secondary School Teacher for 20+ years, and I am still just as passionate about teaching!

Together, we will practice the four skills of language learning: listening, reading, writing, and speaking. For having learned two languages myself, I understand how intimidating language classes can sometimes be. That’s why I craft your lessons according to your level, and personal needs. 

I provide the material and tools you need, and I am opened to any suggestions in terms of material or topics. I use pictures, videos, songs, articles, and more to make the lessons varied and enriching.

On a more personal note, I love reading, traveling and discovering new cultures, craft booking, collecting vintage postcards… among many other things. My motto is: "Be kind".

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me better. I look forward to seeing you in class.

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).
