Hello ;)
French native from Paris, passionate (about French and English literature, music, cinema, entrepreneurship, ...), I am currently learning at HARVARD University to lead the teaching/learning industry, with unconventional teaching methods. I have studied a lot in my life and I strongly believe that the best way to learn is to have fun, I strongly believe that the best way to learn is to want to learn.
My teaching methods are based on my practical experiences and I know how to make people flow.
As a long-time learner, I will adapt the sessions and give you all my advice to reach your goals. I offer French courses for both beginners and advanced learners.

Tutoring Experience

EXPERIENCE :

I have taught French to people from Europe, the Commonwealth, Russia, Colombia, Mexico, Iran, Sri Lanka, Maldives, South Africa, the USA, Australia, Syria, Lebanon, Algeria, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, China, and among them were students, teachers, analysts, brokers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, singers, entrepreneurs, writers, investors, bankers, actors, ambassadors, personal trainers, interior designers, architects, TV and film producers. ..

My students have attended the following schools:

• Secondary Schools: St Paul's Girls' School, St Paul's School, Westminster School, Sevenoaks School, The American School in London, Harrow, Eton College, King's College School, Trinity School, Dulwich College, Waldegrave School...
• Universities and business schools: Oxford, Cambridge, University of St Andrews, London Business School, King's College, Imperial College London, University College London, Harvard, Columbia, London School of Economics...

Tutoring Approach

COURSE STRUCTURE :

I build my lessons through a communicative approach maximizing the use of the target language.
My lessons are generally task-based and focused on practical functions.
During each lesson we will always work on four different skills such as speaking, listening, reading, and writing, using a wide variety of teaching materials reflecting real-life situations.

MY COURSES AIM TO

• Improve your listening and speaking skills
• Explain grammar rules
• Introduce new vocabulary using specific learning methods
• Improve your writing, speaking, and listening skills.

THE LANGUAGE :

I have learned English and Spanish and am currently learning Italian and Russian. So I fully understand what it feels like to learn a new language and the difficulties that can be encountered, especially when that language does not use the same alphabet as your native language.
