I hold a certification from the Alliance Française and am also a certified evaluator for DELF, DALF, TEF, and TCF exams. My goal is to help you build confidence and fluency in French, no matter your current level.

📚 Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in language institutes in England, Spain, Portugal, and South America. This experience has allowed me to teach students from various cultures and backgrounds, enabling me to adapt to your individual needs, whether you're a complete beginner or aiming to reach an advanced level.

💬 I utilize an action-oriented methodology, such as the "Alter Ego" approach, to encourage you to actively use the knowledge you already have. Additionally, I incorporate a variety of resources such as podcasts, apps, videos, websites, books, and newspapers to enrich your learning experience and help you immerse yourself in the French language.

Bonjour ! Are you ready to elevate your French skills, refine your pronunciation, or simply enjoy meaningful conversations in French? 

What do I offer? I provide tailored French conversations and classes to help you improve your speaking skills, pronunciation, and vocabulary. My focus is to make you feel at ease with the language and able to engage in fluid, natural conversations with native speakers. With my guidance, you’ll gain the confidence to express yourself authentically in French.

During our trial session, we’ll outline your specific goals, level, and aspirations. From there, I’ll craft personalised lessons designed to meet your needs. While I don’t assign homework unless requested, I enjoy keeping in touch with my students by sharing curated French content—videos, podcasts, songs, and more—to complement our sessions and immerse you further in the language.

My teaching style?My approach is relaxed yet effective, blending cultural insights with practical language skills. Together, we’ll explore how French is spoken in daily life, from casual conversations to nuanced expressions used by native speakers. I correct mistakes using the "silent method," which means you can speak freely without interruptions. At the end of each session, I’ll provide feedback and actionable tips to help you improve with each conversation. If you prefer a more formal or structured approach, I’m happy to adapt to your learning style.

A little about me. I’m a native French speaker from Northern France, though my friends like to call me a “woman with a suitcase” because of my love for travel and exploring new places. My journey to teaching wasn’t a traditional one, but I’ve been passionately teaching French for three years now. What inspires me most is seeing my students achieve their goals and grow more confident in their language skills. 

I’m always thinking about new ways to help French learners succeed. Recently, I’ve introduced the idea of French immersion stays, offering a unique opportunity for students to practice the language in a fully immersive environment while experiencing authentic French culture. 

As someone currently learning two other languages myself, I know the joys and challenges of mastering a new language. This shared experience motivates me to create lessons that are practical, engaging, and focused on real progress.

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!

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.

Bonjour, c'est Caroline.  

Originally from Brittany in France. I am currently in Bali, living the dream ;=)

Through the years, teaching French became a real passion for me, and I think that I enjoy the progress of my students as much as they do ! 

Either you wish to learn for traveling purpose, to communicate with your family or for an exam, I can help you out.

Depending on your level, your needs and your expectations, I will build the lessons including more or less grammar and as soon as you feel ready for it, we will focus on conversation practice. Conversation is a good way to improve fast both your speaking and understanding skills while keeping the classes interactive and fun !

I love to talk about lots of different things and I will make sure that each lesson covers a different topic. Be assured that I won't forget to rectify your pronunciation if necessary. 

Writing being a very important part of the learning process, we can practice that too. It's a very efficient way to see your weaknesses in grammar and vocabulary and to correct them.  

If you are preparing for exam, such as DELF and DALF we will work on all aspects of the examination in order for you to be fully ready for the day ! I have successful students from A2 exam to C2.

I teach in a dynamic and engaging way and use conversation as one of my main tools, so you’ll get plenty of talking time. My teaching materials are constantly updated and I use lots of different tools such as videos, audios and texts  !

I wish you a happy day and hope to see you soon online for a trial class!  

A bientôt !

I figured out that learning is much more efficient and enjoyable when it is grounded in reality !

This is why I make my lessons student-centered : around your specific needs, goals and centres of interest. I call my method « chameleon-like »

Whether it is for receptive skills, that is listening and reading, or productive skills, that is writing and speaking, we use mostly real-life materials, role-plays and games around situations you may or will find yourself into.

It makes it much more stimulating, efficient and useful to you ! You also learn aspects of French culture as we go along.

For advanced students and conversationalists we work around any topics of your choice to consolidate grammatical points, expand and enrich your vocabulary.

I am also a visual artist. My passions are art, travels and nature. But I am very curious to know what yours are… I teach you French and you teach me about things you like !
