👋🏻 Hello and welcome!

I am a native French teacher, multi-certified by the Alliance Française and a registered professional training provider. I find great meaning in supporting my students with their life projects, whether it is obtaining a diploma for a visa, preparing for a trip abroad, or simply becoming more comfortable communicating with family, friends, and colleagues.

As a member of the Amis du château de Pau, I enjoy sharing my passion for French history, culture, and heritage through our lessons.

📘 My courses are exclusively for adult learners of all levels (A1 to C2), wishing to improve their mastery of French, and having one or more of the following goals : 

• 📚 Master grammar : a progressive program or targeted work, with clear explanations and effective exercises to refine your language skills.
• 🗣️ Improve speaking skills : thematic discussions on current events, society, culture, history, or any other topic you are passionate about.
• 🎓 Prepare for exams (DELF, TCF, TEF) : tailored exercises, practical strategies, and personalized guidance to help you succeed.

💬 Book a trial lesson and let's start progressing together ! 🚀

📌 A few rules to ensure a smooth learning experience :

✅ Personal work is essential. Too many students rely solely on the teacher and remain passive. You don’t need to study intensively, but consistently : 5 to 15 minutes per day is enough to make progress.
✅ To create an effective and enjoyable learning environment, please show respect, discipline, punctuality, and regular attendance.
✅ Please check my schedule carefully. My timetable can be busy, and some slots fill up quickly.
✅ In case of cancellation or changes, please follow the platform rules. Late cancellations directly impact my activity.
✅ Finally, if the learning conditions are not met, I reserve the right to end our lessons. My goal is not to waste time, energy, or resources, but to provide serious and effective support.

Bonjour, my name is Veronique. 

I'm a French teacher for adults and a professional watercolour artist .

I'm originally from France but have lived in the UK for over 20 years.  

 I've been teaching French informally since 2009.

- My clients included professionals, students and people wishing  to learn French for pleasure.

- I use texts, videos, articles, songs and a lot of exercises in my classes.

- I focus on pronunciation, grammar, syntax and vocabulary.

- I tailor every lesson to make sure my students get the best out of each course.

Native French teacher with 10 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 ;-)  EVERYBODY CAN LEARN...a little bit of work, intuition and regular lessons ! 

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

Learning is much more efficient and enjoyable when it is grounded in your 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 around situations you may or will find yourself into. It makes it much more stimulating, efficient and useful to you ! 

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, culture at large, 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 (en français bien sûr !)

Bonjour a tous!!

Are you planning to move to a French-speaking country? Do you want to improve your language skills? Prepare for a DELF/TCF exam? Wish to embrace a new culture? or just looking for a new hobby? I am here to help you no matter what you need, from the comfort of your own home, anywhere in the world!

My name is Alizee, I am from Bretagne, in the north west of France, the land of butter and cider!

I have been a language teacher since 2014. I graduated from the University of Oregon in the US with a Master of arts (French culture and Literature) and then I got a bachelor of Teaching French as a 2nd language from the University of Nantes, France. I started teaching at the University of Oregon as a GTF and it helped me find my path, teaching became a part of my identity and I really found myself thanks to this experience. Afterwards, I started to travel around south east Asia and moved to Vietnam and started teaching English to Vietnamese and indonesian students. I started teaching French online when I moved to the Philippines in 2019, and have continued since in several countries such as Canada (Quebec and BC), France, Panama...

I provide personalized online classes, based on your level (from A1 to C2), your goals and your interests. Each class will include grammatical introductions/reminders, listening comprehension but most of all speaking practice. If you are planning to take the DELF exam, I can also help! Homework will be provided outside of class to not waste time during the lesson. From daily life situations, to current events and news, we will have a wide range of different topics.

A bientot!

Alizee

ENGLISH

Bonjour !

My name is Marina. I have been a French teacher for five years. I taught in Ireland, England, Spain, and Ecuador, with students of all ages and levels, and in settings both informal and formal. I'm new to LanguaTalk but I've been teaching French online for a year as well.

I offer different forms of teaching, depending on your level and preferred learning methods. For example, a beginner who needs structure might benefit from lessons from a written method that mixes grammar, vocabulary, and listening, speaking, reading and writing exercises, while a more advanced student would prefer us to focus on conversation.

Don't hesitate to book a trial session with me so we can get to know each other!

ESPAÑOL

Bonjour !

Me llamo Marina. Soy profesora de francés desde hace cinco años. Enseñé en Irlanda, Inglaterra, España y Ecuador, con estudiantes de todas las edades y niveles, y en entornos formales e informales. Soy nueva en LanguaTalk, pero también llevo un año enseñando francés en línea.

Ofrezco diferentes formas de enseñanza, según tu nivel y tus métodos de aprendizaje favoritos. Por ejemplo, un principiante que necesita estructura podría beneficiarse de lecciones gracias a un método escrito que combina gramática, vocabulario y ejercicios de comprensión y expresión escrita y oral, mientras que un estudiante más avanzado preferiría que nos concentremos en la discusión.

No dudes en reservar una lección conmigo.

Bonjour, c'est Caroline.

Originaire de Bretagne 😊

Avec plus de 8 ans d'expérience en tant que professeure de français, j'ai eu la chance d'enseigner à des étudiants adultes et enfants, et plus particulièrement aux personnes ayant un projet d'expatriation ou souhaitant passer des examens.

My teaching approach is primarily focused on oral practice. I firmly believe that communication is the key to mastering a language, which is why my lessons are interactive and based on lively, real-life exchanges. Whether through discussions, role-playing, or real-world simulations, I emphasize speaking skills to help you gain fluency and confidence. I have worked with adults, teenagers, and children, adjusting my methods to suit each individual. Teaching younger learners has allowed me to develop fun and creative techniques to make learning French both enjoyable and motivating. 

As an expatriate myself, I understand the challenges of learning a language in an international environment, which allows me to tailor my lessons to the specific needs of each student. Whether you are preparing for an exam, improving your French for work or travel, or simply discovering the French language and culture, I will be there to support and guide you to make quick and effective progress.
