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, for the Olympic games this summer 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 !

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!

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!

Hi there! 
My name is Diane, I am from the French-speaking part of Switzerland and I am living in Greece at the moment.

I have been a French teacher for people claiming asylum in Switzerland for more than two years now, therefore I have good material for beginners wanting to start learning French. I have taught to groups of adults from A0 to B1 levels with great results! 
Moreover, I have been a tutor on Languatalk for a year now and you can check below the reviews students left if you'd like to know what they think of my classes!

My methodology is quite flexible according to what my students prefer, though I like starting from daily-life situations (going grocery shopping, book an appointment at the doctor's, taking the train...) and elaborating on new vocabulary, grammar rules, verb tenses from that starting point. Reading some French simple texts, listening to French songs and/or playing games in French are also tools that I love using if you are interested in trying this out! I can also give homework if you want to work more on your own, and we can correct them together.

I love music and art in general, as well as reading so it would be my pleasure to introduce you to some of my favorite French-speaking artists!

In addition, I have been learning languages since a very young age and I am currently learning Greek, so I understand the challenges you might face regarding French! Be sure that my classes are a safe and benevolent environnement, designed to make you dare to speak and make mistakes; that's how you'll learn! ;)

I hope to meet you soon! 
Diane 

Bonjour everyone !

I consider learning a language as buying a new pair of shoes that will lead you to a new culture, experience and life style. And definitely, open up your horizons. 

I am currently developing my own methodology to teach languages through theater and arts, therefore my lessons are full of games, dialogues and dramaturgical exercices to make you feel comfortable using the language but also creative and dynamic and ready to use the language in everyday situation. 

I am looking forward to meeting you and walk together the fun, exciting and sometimes challenging path of learning a new language. I am here to guide you ! Let's go !

Looking forward to meeting you ! 

A bientôt ! (See you soon !)

      Bonjour ! Pourquoi souhaites-tu apprendre le français ? Peut-être pour voyager ou pour ton travail ? Ou simplement pour l'amour de la langue. Mon but est de t'aider à atteindre tes objectifs quels qu'ils soient.  J'adapte mes classes selon les niveaux, besoins et surtout envies ! Je suis ouverte à tout. 

      Si tu viens de commencer à apprendre la langue, nous verrons par exemple ensemble les bases de la langue, la prononciation, mais discuterons d'hors et déjà :) Le but étant de faire le cours tout en ayant l'impression de ne pas travailler, plutôt cool non ?  Si tu as besoin de parler français dans une situation précise, nous ferons ensemble des exercices ludiques, des études de vidéos ou de textes, des mises en situation... Et si tu souhaites juste discuter ou faire un mix de tout ça c'est tout à fait possible. 

      J'ai hâte que l'on commence ! :)

In English :

      Hello! Why do you want to learn French? Maybe to travel or for your job? Or simply for the love of the language. My goal is to help you achieve your goals whatever they may be. I adapt my classes according to levels, needs and especially desires! I am open to everything.

      If you have just started learning the language, we will see for example together the basics of the language, pronunciation, but will discuss already and already :) The goal is to do the course while having the impression of not working, pretty cool right? If you need to speak French in a specific situation, we will do fun exercises together, study videos or texts, role-plays... And if you just want to discuss or do a mix of all that it is quite possible.

      After each course, I send a document tracing all the corrections that I was able to make during the course. I also create homework according to the needs of each student, if they wish.

      I can't wait to get started! :)
