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!

Hello ! My name is Charlotte, from France. Learning languages is a passion of mine, along with many others :-) I welcome everyone to come and learn with me; whatever your current level, I’ll be very happy to help you gain more fluency in French. I’m very patient and will provide a cheerful and safe environment where you can talk without any stress or fear of being judged. I try to stick to French as much as possible during the lessons in order to build up your confidence about being able to navigate through your new language. 

I believe in helping you master French as it is spoken/written by actual French-speaking people, not textbooks. This means adapting the material and language level to the situation. Indeed, we don’t usually speak in daily life the way a journalist does on the news. And we don’t write a formal report as we would an email to a friend. So knowing your goals and why you are learning French is essential.

 A bientôt !

About me

I graduated in French Literature, Philosophy and History (Université Paris 10), and I hold a M. Sc. in Global Change Management (HNE Eberswalde).

Before I moved to São Paulo, Brazil, I lived five years in Berlin where I started to teach. There I tutored privately and also gave literacy classes in German for young refugees. From May 2017 to September 2017, I did training to be a French teacher and I taught French at the Technical University of Berlin for three semesters.

At the moment, I work with several language schools in São Paulo (IFESP, Versátil Idiomas, and the French Alliance). I have experience with teaching to all levels and ages. I also have experience in creating didactic material. 

In parallel to my teaching activities, I also have a solid experience with translation work (English, German, Portuguese > French).

My methodology

My methodology adapts to fit your desires, needs, and interests.

Depending on your objective with the French language (pass a test, work, travel, personal curiosity, etc.), I offer a customised learning path with lively and playful lessons.

During the last four years, I have gathered a large online collection of methods and teaching materials allowing me to build a learning path that is adapted for you. I can provide these free of charge.

Hi all! My name is Miriam, I speak four languages and I have been teaching French online for 3 years. My mother tongue is Arabic and I started learning French since I was 3 years old. I started learning English in elementary school and had Spanish classes for two years at university. I also speak Italian as I currently live in Italy.

I have acquired some experience in academic support and language teaching. I would be very happy to discuss with you what interests you to help you progress in your learning. I am also available to adapt to your preferences in terms of materials and learning tools. Hope to see you soon!

Hi guys! It's Rita here :)

I am an enthusiastic French teacher (I also speak fluently and 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 to practice, practice, practice, and of course having as much fun as possible while doing so! 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, to motivate you and to show 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 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 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 very soon in your next class! Sending you lots of love, Rita

Do you want to improve your French at your own pace? I am motivated to help you!

My name is Anaïs, and I am a native French speaker from Switzerland. I have a bachelor’s degree in tourism and management and a master’s 1 degree in teaching French as a foreign language. I am also certified by CAVILAM in teaching FLE, and I have a TEFL certificate in teaching English.

I am passionate about culture, travel, and languages. As a result, I love teaching because it is very rewarding and allows me to interact with people from around the world. I have been fortunate to live and work in several countries such as the Netherlands, Indonesia, and Australia.

For over 2 years, I have helped students improve their French skills. Whether you're just starting or are highly advanced, my French courses are ideal for you! My goal is to help you learn French in a wide variety of environments, whether you want to command the stage in French class or be comfortable conversing with French-speaking locals.

My lessons are dynamic and effective. For example, I use news articles, videos, reports, dialogues, and conversation exercises. These methods will help you improve your spoken and written French. I adapt my lessons according to your needs, skills, and interests (culture, sports, travel, work, politics, food, etc.).

Let me help you communicate so you can gain a better understanding of French and Swiss culture. I can also give you homework to complete and write suggestions for even more lessons outside of class.

I enjoy yoga, traveling, diving, and hiking. I am friendly, motivated, and patient. I will do my best to make you feel comfortable and relaxed during our sessions, so you enjoy the learning process and rapidly improve your skills.

I look forward to meeting you and teaching you French. Book a trial lesson today ! 

Hello! My name is Laurent. I'm French, live near Paris and I work there as an engineer. I have always liked to learn languages. I can speak English, Portuguese, French Creole and obviously French. I know how difficult it is to learn a new language. For me, the best way to learn a language is to speak it, to be able to communicate with someone. Together we will practice conversation, reading, writing, listening and pronunciation with different kinds of supports. So if you want to start it, let's plan a lesson with me. Please refer to my schedule for availability.

Bonjour!

I'm Tina! Originally from Paris, France, where I lived most of my life, I’ve been living overseas for the past 8 years and currently in beautiful British Columbia, Canada!

Although my main career for the past 16 years has been tennis coaching, I’ve been tutoring students in English and French for almost as long. From complete beginners to advanced levels, children to adults, group and private lessons, I love the variation and finding new ways to make lessons fun and adapted to each student’s own needs and expectations!

I’ve been a student myself, learning English, Spanish, Dutch... I’ve had the chance to meet great teachers along the way who taught me valuable lessons: love to learn, love what you learn and always have fun while you’re doing it! I deeply aspire to be as helpful to my students as my teachers have been to me.

If you learn French with me, I see us as a team: we work together towards a common goal. I believe in a constant exchange between us so that what you learn makes sense to you and that you enjoy each minute you spend learning French, whether during a lesson or outside. Finally, my experience as a tennis coach naturally brings a lot of dynamism to my lessons and you can always count on me to support and motivate you, as well as to help you push your limits when I feel that you’re holding back!

Ready to team up with me?

I invite you to watch my video and book a trial lesson to start your French language journey!

À très bientôt!

Bonjour!

I’m Yasmin and teaching languages is my passion and my full time job.  I’m from Colombia and I have lived in France since 2015. I love France and speaking French. I have studied French for about 18 years and I have been teaching it for 11 years.  I have a master degree in FLE (français langue étrangère) from the Université de Nantes in France.

In my experience as a teacher, I’ve met people with multiple learning goals, so I can say I’m a flexible patient teacher and I’m able to adapt a lesson to different ways of learning and needs. I love interacting with students and being part of their learning process. 

During my lessons, I prefer to use a communicative approach whether to study vocabulary, pronunciation or active grammar. That is,  in other words, I focus on the use of the language and try to create a 100% french speaking environment progressively. 

Regarding grammar teaching, I use both an inductive and deductive approach. For instance, you can discover the rules through different activities that require your engagement and interaction (inductive approach) or I can explain to you any aspect of grammar by giving you the rules and practicing with examples and exercises (deductive approach). Sometimes we can do one of these ways or both in the same lesson, taking into account your learning style. 

A lesson would therefore be conducted as follows: 

1. Introduction: a recall of the previous lesson, introduction of the subject and objective of the lesson with a small warm-up activity (image, video, question, etc). 

2. Main activity: work on an Interactive activity in which you will discover, reinforce or acquire knowledge. 

3. Conclusión: a recall of vocabulary, grammar and expressions learned during the lesson. 

4. Optional homework: a short exercise or listening/reading activity according to the lesson plan agreed.
