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 !

Bonjour! 

With a Master's in French as a Foreign Language in progress and a Bachelor's degree in Applied Modern Languages, I am deeply passionate about language learning and teaching my native tongue—French!

For the past few years, I have been teaching French both online and in person to learners of all ages. I am well-versed in the DELF A1-B2 exams and also offer lessons focused on pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar for casual learners. I tailor my lessons to each student's level and goals, working with beginners up to B2 intermediate learners. My priority is to help you gain confidence and make tangible progress in French.

For the trial lesson

• I will first share a Google Docs document with you. This will allow you to access lesson plans in advance and add your own notes throughout our sessions.
• In the first few minutes, I’ll ask you to introduce yourself and share your expectations for our lessons.
• We will start with some simple exercises to assess your comfort level with grammar, reading, listening, and speaking.

If your main focus is speaking, we will engage in various speaking exercises to help you gain confidence in the language. If you're preparing for the DELF A1-B2 exams or any school/university assessments, we will target the areas you feel need the most improvement. And if you're here to learn French in a fun and relaxed way, we can explore any themes or topics that interest you.

I hope to see you very soon! 😊

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.

Do you need help to learn or get your French to a higher level? 

Are you learning French and you need to practice your speaking skills? Would you like to develop or maintain your skills? Are you seeking support in your learning?

My name is Magali. As a native French with a background in coaching and vocational training in communication, I’ve been a full time and private French tutor since 2015. I have been helping adults and kids from basic to advanced to enhance their level and confidence. Here are the lessons I offer:

• lessons based on text books: learning in the context of real life with dialogues of everyday life (pronunciation, reading, role-plays, vocabulary, conversations) and grammar essentials
• conversation: practicing oral skills on various topics or for a specific purpose
• aloud reading: improving your french accent and knowledge through texts/articles, short novels or short stories for children
• presentation: enhancing your communication skills (written and/or oral presentations, exams)
• coaching for non-native French tutors/instructors : building lessons, explaining certain grammar points/culture, finding ressources, various questions and tips

Patient and creative, I will fit your needs and provide you with a fun and adequate material and environment.

Why am I dedicated to pass on knowledge? Because the more I teach, the more I learn and the better I get, the more I can help! I'm a lifelong learner and teaching has always been part of my life mission. 

I’ve lived in Canada (from West to East) for 10 years and I am currently living in Brussels, Belgium. In both countries, I can be immersed in a multicultural environment, which makes me happy and at home. Besides, I love to write, create clay sculptures, paint in watercolour and get into nature as much as I can. 

I’m looking forward to meeting you!

BONJOUR! My name is Charlotte and I’m looking forward to becoming your FRENCH TEACHER :-)

I’m 34 years old, was born in Geneva, Switzerland. I’m a native French and English speaker and I’m fluent in Spanish too.

I’ve been teaching French since 2018 and I’ve had students of all AGES, LEVELS and BACKGROUND. In your first class, we will discuss your GOALS and evaluate your LEVEL, so I can prepare a TAILOR-MADE program for you! I provide everything from articles, to grammar, vocabulary, exercises, etc. So all you have to worry about is to SHOW UP and PRACTICE!

I also like to focus on your CONVERSATION skills and help you improve your PRONUNCIATION, with my method you will be talking French in no time! I always come to class PREPARED and with a BIG SMILE !

I like making my lessons FUN using real life contexts, cultural aspects, visual aids and games. Most importantly I love to teach and see you improving your French!

A bientôt!

Charlotte

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!

Originally from Paris, where I trained and taught French to both school students and adult learners,  I also studied in London and worked in Scotland.  I'm currently based in Spain.  I have vast experience in teaching in-person and online.

I am a friendly, positive, patient and adaptable teacher. Lessons are taught in a comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. For me, teaching is a ongoing passion and my aim is to encourage you and build your confidence.  All lessons are tailored to each student's specific requirements, skills and objectives.  My guiding principle is that learning should be a fun, passionate and pleasant adventure.

Are you tired about the boring courses of the language schools?

Are you tired of learning only grammar rules without being able to formulate a single coherent sentence?

Are you looking for a more versatile method for learning French in a more confident way?

Are you looking for a teacher who gets immediately your point and knows exactly how to make you reach your goals as soon - and as quick as possible ?

Then you found him ! I am that teacher !

According to your level (starter or advanced), I adapt my method as following:

Starters : I use a particular book that helps you to work on all the aspects of the language at the same time (phonetics, grammar, vocabulary, reading) and helps structuring the courses

Advanced : I practice conversation with you about more or less complex subjects to increase your vocabulary and to correct the remaining imperfections

Of course, I always adapt my method to your individual situation

About me : I was born in Switzerland. My mother tongue is French, which I always speak with my relatives and my friends. I also speak Italian as I grew up in the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland (Ticino) and I still live there

I also speak English, a bit of Serbian and Russian

I am looking forward to seeing you, so please do select a time for a trial lesson

See you soon. A bientôt. A presto

I help, motivate and encourage anyone to have a better understanding, extend knowledge and improve confidence.
