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.

Hello Everyone, 

Languages are a passion of mine, I am currently working on language 5 and 6. Because I've been learning other languages  I am very familiar with the difficulties my students can have and which methods are efficient. 

My first objective is for my student to develop the skills to speak and understand French so that they can be independant consulting French content at home. My classes are very relaxed and I try to have a good time while I teach. My classes are tailored to each student's level. 

• For beginners: we work on the elements of the sentence, conjugating verbs, prononciation exercises, we read basic text and we start writing and speaking in French. we also introduce the idea of daily practice.
• For intermediates we work on more advanced grammatical concepts and conjugating with more tenses, we work with audio and written format (about 50/50 technique and practice)
• For advanced students we usually do more conversation based exercises, prior to the class I'll send a podcast, documentary, youtube video, movie extracts and more and the student have to express their thoughts, their critic or commentary on the topic, on my hand I will ask questions to keep the conversation going. We can also do interview prep, review of essays written in French etc.

 I also do give a little bit of homework.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to check my profile !

As a teacher, I’m very patient and caring. My goal is to provide you with a comfortable environment where we will turn any mistakes into a learning opportunity.

Lessons I teach :

1- Conversation classes 

2- TEF Canada/ TCF Canada exam preparation classes : Speaking & Writing

3- French for beginners

In conversation classes, I’ll give you plenty of time to speak and I will provide you with detailed feedback that will help you get a better understanding of the use of French. I choose topics we can talk about during and plan lessons around them. However, you are very welcome to choose topics that fit your own interests.

For exam preparation classes, I will focus on improving your writing and speaking skills to help you reach the score you aim at. I have helped many students get the B2+ and more in TEF and TCF Canada exams.

As for beginners classes, we can use a manual or have informal classes.

Bonjour !

My name is Céline. Teaching languages online has been my full-time activity for the last 4 years, which ensures punctuality, professionalism, and continuity. 

I am a multifaceted teacher:

> I am casual and I put particular importance on teaching real language, i.e. we will approach all kinds of vocabulary in our classes using authentic material.

> I am business and corporate-oriented as my previous professional experiences in retail and recruitment allow me to help you to build your CV and train you for job interviews.

> I am structured when it comes to grammar. I do use lessons and exercises.

> I have a solid academic background related to languages and experience preparing people for official language exams such as DELF, TCF, etc.

> I organize French immersion programs in France to help my students deepen their knowledge of the culture and feel more confident talking with native speakers.

These are some comments actual students posted on my LinkedIn profile:

Marc, Chief of Strategy and Corp. Development: “Céline is knowledgeable about grammar and language formalities but also has a nice conversation and adapts well to your need as a student, making the class enjoyable and using technology in the right way."

Gozde, Data engineer: “Céline provides lots of learning material, documents, links, and videos. She is responsive and very well organized while it is fun to chat with her about real-world topics."

À bientôt !

Hi ! I am Charlotte !

I am a native french speaker and a graduated French teacher ! 

If you want to learn french or to improve your french skills, you are in the right place 😉

What I teach 📚:

• Spoken expression/understanding
• Vocabulary
• Grammar questions
• Pronunciation
• French culture

How I teach 👩‍🏫:

I like to create lessons around a theme (the news, french events, everyday life, ...), this way I can gather different activities around it. 

For example, we will start with a few questions about the theme, then gather vocabulary and read a text or watch a video about it. Afterward you will have a few questions to answer about the doct to iniciate a discussion about it. I always write your answers on the document to add corrections (if necessary) and to give you gentle feedback without interrupting you. Sometimes, I also like to implement speaking games at the end of the lesson so you can talk french in a more independent and ludic way ! 

Resources 📝:

I usually use Google Docs and/or Powerpoint for my lessons, according to what I am going to teach (for example if I need to share a digital media with you, I will put it on your personal Google Doct). Each student has his own Google Doct that we use for each lesson. I usually send you the link to your Doct after our first lesson ! 

Qualifications 💼: 

I graduated my FLE master's degree, I also have a BA degree in French language and literature and a BA degree in English language, literature, foreign and regional civilisation.

I am born and raised in France. I live in Paris. I love History, films, economics and travels.

If you like French movies, and would like to discover the French cinema, I am the one. For the students who are interested, I give a movie to watch regularly.

I have a BA in Management from SKEMA Business School and  a Master degree in International and European Management from NEOMA Business School. 

I used to live in the USA for a while (Miami) and also in the United Arabic Emirates where I started to teach French from A1 to C2. I have been teaching since 2006.

I am dedicated, teach by passion and I am so proud of my students. When I moved to the Middle East, I gave one to one lesson  and also group lessons with people from different nationalities and languages : Dutch, German, Arabic, English, Spanish, Chinese... I understand the different struggles depending on your native language. Learning foreign languages myself, I understand even better!  I teach also  children and I am also also tutoring foreign children living in France who have 3 months to immerse in French classes. 

I like teaching French. Confidence is very important. My method is based on 30 min exercices, grammar, conjugation and 30 min conversation  based on a short video for the listenning. If you are a beginner, you will wait 3-4 lessons before doing this exercice, but don't worry, you will speak speak anyway.  I hope to see you soon.

I’m a native French speaker also fluent in English. I have a degree in psychology focused on Education. I started teaching French to kids from immigrant parents in France via a charity and I loved it ! In addition to two years experience with this project, I've been teaching French online for a year. I have students from all over the world with different levels, goals, and interests. I always adapt my teaching style to each of them to make classes interesting and personalized. I like to use English as little as possible and encourage communication in French.
