Hi there!
My name is Diane and I am from the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
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 while 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 Spanish 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
p.s.: I recently cut my hair very short so I look a little different than in the video ;)

I have worked with a few tutors on LanguaTalk and Diane has been my favorite by far. She is very personable and thoughtful in her approach to teaching.

Diane is a wonderful communicator and she's quickly adapts to the learner's pace and interest areas. Over a year's span, our conversational sessions naturally jumped from one topic to another, went deep in & out of different trades' jargons, and she proved most resourceful and patient with my seemingly random change of topics. She naturally motivates her students to "oser à parler en français" and that kicks off a wonderful journey. Wish the world more Diane's...
