About Me
italki teacher since Jul 28, 2017InterestsReadingTravelArtFood
Bonjour, je m'appelle Carine, je suis française et j'habite en France !
I have 12 years of experience teaching French as a foreign language: 7 years on Italki ( more than 3 000 lessons) and 5 years of face-to-face tutoring in England.
All these teaching years have allowed me to gain experience teaching a broad range of pupils from basic to advanced levels and from children to senior students. I have also been teaching two groups in an English company and I also taught groups of children for the company Les Puces Early Years.
Before, I used to be a graphic designer and a Graphic Design teacher for seven years.
My education: a Master of Art from Aberdeen University, Scotland.Me as a Teacher
My lessons are tailor-made and will follow your needs, tastes, suggestions and demands to meet your goals and expectations.
We will decide a plan together, then change and adapt when necessary.
I am offering:
- Formal lessons from A0 to C2 level
- DELF A1, A2, B1 and DELF B2 exam preparation
- Any school exam preparation: GCSE, IGCSE...
- French for children: Alex et Zoe book 1 and 2
- French for teenagers: Adosphère books
- Informal tutoring
- Interview preparation
- Proofreading: emails, essays, cover letters…
So, have a go and then decide! My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is to adapt my teaching to each student depending on their age, character and language level.
In practice:
- We can have formal lessons with a mix of grammar, tenses, verbs, vocabulary and idioms AND conversation practice with exercises, texts, games, role plays and other materials.
- We can have conversations, discussions or debates on different topics, current affairs or French culture.
- We can study texts, articles or books from French literature.
- We can work on your writing skills.
- We can practice phone-calls, work conversations, interviews...
I always suggest homework as it is important for reinforcing language learning but of course this is optional.My teaching material

Proof of employment - Lycée Professionnel La Fontaine- Académie Grenoble - 2005For 3 school years (2003-2006), I have been a teacher in a private vocational high school, Lycée Faverges, Académie de Grenoble, FR (https://lpp-lafontaine.com/).
I would have to prepare students age 17-18 years old to take the "Bac Pro AMA" : I would have to follow the syllabus, prepare and make them do mock exams but also I had to correct the real exam papers in June.
Although I wasn't a French teacher then, the method to make a student pass is the same, this past experience is useful.

Teacher, secretaryTogether with parents, we decided to build an independent school to our children.
It was based on age mixing (7-18 years old), alternative educational learning and autonomy.
It was a wonderful adventure that only lasted a year due to money problems.
I helped create the school, did lots of secretary work as well as diverse teachings jobs.

Carine est magnifique avec mes enfants!; elle a transformé leur attitude envers le français, passant au début de la résistance à l'amour.
Ils sont maintenant ravis de prendre leurs leçons et d’apprendre chaque semaine.

I’ve been studying with Carine for over 5 years (!). She motivates and encourages me, and I continue to learn so much from her. I always enjoy our lessons, which are structured but also flexible; they include conversation, writing, grammar, vocabulary, dictées, reading French literature, and working through textbooks. Carine is patient with my mistakes, and has a great sense of humor, too. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Merci, Carine!

I’ve been learning French with Carine for 5 months now, and I love our classes. She’s a lovely, patient teacher. She always provides me with plenty of useful materials and homework to practise the language between our lessons. I truly recommend her!
