My name is Charles, and I live in the United States now, after many years in France. Before living in France, I lived in Belgium, Germany, Austria and Taiwan.

I have worked as a teacher of French and English language and literature in France and the US, in the private sector, in public schools, and at universities.

Me as a Teacher
I have taught English and French as second languages in various capacities, as well as Francophone and American literature. My goal is to build a comfortable, warm environment for my students, where they feel able to speak freely and use the language as much as possible. I rely heavily on authentic language source material to help the student build a personal connection with the language, and those who speak it.
NB: I am only available to teach adults, and not well-suited for absolute beginners.
NB : Je ne suis disponible que pour enseigner les adultes, et je ne suis pas spécialisé dans l'enseignement des grands débutants.My lessons & teaching style
I focus on intermediate and advanced students seeking to build oral fluency, as I use an immersive method that depends on circumlocution meant to build students' comfort in speaking their target language, and developing strategies to better their communication.
Je me spécialise dans l'apprentissage aux élèves de niveaux intermédiaires et avancés qui cherchent à perfectionner leurs compétences orales. La méthode que j'utilise est basée sur le principe de l'immersion. C'est-à-dire qu'on reste dans la langue cible pendant le cours, et on se sert de la circonlocution, au lieu de la traduction, afin de renforcer ses capacités orales, et développer des stratégies pour mieux communiquer.My teaching material

Durant la conversation aujourd’hui, on a parlé de comment les accents jouent un rôle important dans l’apprentissage des langues et l’aspect moralisateur des accents dans nos quotidiens. Merci de m’avoir proposé ce thème de conversation fort intéressant. A la prochaine!

Un rebondissement qui m’est arrivé au milieu de la séance nous a un peu dévié du thème de conversation prévu mais cela ne nous a pas empêché d’avoir une conversation intéressante et spontanée. On abordera la vidéo que tu m’as envoyée la prochaine fois. Merci pour la conversation!
