About Me
italki teacher since Feb 24, 2016InterestsReadingEnvironment & NatureArtTravelSports & Fitness
If you’re looking for structured work through fun and challenging activities and focus on speaking, I’m your teacher! I’m patient, thoroughly prepared and dynamic. I have a master's degree in French Language and Literature Studies, 18 years’ teaching and 5 years' life experience in France.
! CURRENTLY NOT TEACHING CHILDREN
I’m crazy about hiking, nature and have a newly discovered passion for gardening. I love to do free-style dancing, talk about arts and humanities (but also any other meaningful or absurd subject). What fulfills me the most are the moments of deep connection with my friends and family. I’m sometimes calm and serious, sometimes playful and excited like a child.Me as a Teacher
Languages are, for me, the spice of life- they give us the opportunity to travel and discover another country and culture every day.
Since I have a lot of experience in learning languages, I can understand the difficulties you may come across and help you overcome them.
In my classes all topics are welcome: deep or shallow, serious or fun.
I never let my teaching go stale: I regularly improve my techniques through teacher training, update my teaching materials and create new ones.
I've taught French to all ages, at various levels, individually and in groups. I worked in a language school, a primary school and a Canadian Embassy and translated French novels.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching approach is meaningful and communication-oriented: all language activities always lead to COMMUNICATION in French. In class we do role plays, have conversations, debates, speaking tasks and oral grammar activities as well as pronunciation.
You will develop other language skills as well: writing, listening and reading comprehension (more passive activities are preferably done at home)
You’ll get plenty of varied material to facilitate your learning and make it engaging and interactive: conversation packs, grammar and vocabulary sheets, articles and videos, grammar games, quizzes.
To check and boost your progress, I provide regular tests and corrections of your mistakes.My teaching material

Ana is truly, truly a joy to learn from on so many levels. She is everything I could hope for in a French guide for my learning.
To begin, she is exceptional in her own mastery of the French language. She is always able to elevate and transport conversations to interesting and challenging spaces, all the while cognisant of grammatical points of interest for her student and the goals for language that are being worked toward. I am so grateful to Ana for the treasures she leaves me with each lesson, the confidence I am continually imparted with, and the joy I feel from each unique encounter that I have been blessed to receive thus far!

Ana is a truly incredible teacher, to say the least. She totally understands your personal needs and how to deliver new information in a manner that's accessible & easy, she's extremely prepared and professional and a real pro at what she does. Her classes are engaging and challenging in the best way possible. Ana is patient with a capital P, she always makes sure you fully understand and master a topic before moving on to something new. Her sense of humor and intelligence make the classes super fun and something that I personally always look forward to!

One of the best decisions I made so far was to book a French lesson with Ana one and a half years ago. I am extremely happy with the progress I've made since and I feel much more confident thanks to Ana’s patience and dedication. She’s the teacher who you feel comfortable talking to, even if you know that you’re making mistakes. She’s very organized and sends you all the material tailored to your level and your goals. Ana has a neutral French accent and has all the competences of a native French teacher and even more: she knows all the little details about the grammar and all the exceptions of a rule, that many teachers would just ignore. Moreover, her vocabulary is proficient and if you’re struggling with expressing your thoughts, she will always provide you with a phrase that fits perfectly to the context. The atmosphere during our lessons is very relaxed, yet learning-oriented, which makes me always look forward to the next lesson. A great teacher and person! Thank you, Ana :).
