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.
