Bonjour ! Je cherche des étudiants de niveau intermédiaire (B1 et B2) qui désirent améliorer leur fluidité, développer leur vocabulaire et corriger leurs erreurs de grammaire. J'offre également de l'aide avec les examens TEF/TEFaQ/TCFQ.
I'm looking for intermediate students who want to achieve fluency.
Besides exam practice (TEFAQ / TCFQ ), I like to talk about news, travels, food, films, gardening, the weather and all the little things in between.
*If you are still a beginner*, it's probably too early to start with me. I would advice reading my book, The No Nonsense French Guide first, have some practice with professional teacher and come back to me in 6 months.
Me as a Teacher
I didn't train to be a teacher - my background is in Laws and Arts - but I've been coaching French learners since 2011.

My lessons & teaching style
I do informal lessons. We talk and I correct on the spot (verbally and I type the corrections for further references). I probably won't correct everything as this can become annoying, I tend to focus on the bigger issues. I may suggest reading material & exercises after the lesson. For TEFAQ practices, I have mock ups tests to practice oral expression. For TCFQ, I have a list of questions. I may use this list of questions even if you don't plan to pass the test as they are a good way to make people talk on a large range of subject.
J'adore mes leçons avec Caroline, ma seul source des nouvelles importante dans le monde. Et quel plaisir parler avec elle, qui rend la journée plus lumineuse tout en améliorant mon français!

Caroline applied her extensive expertise in TEFaQ preparation to enhancing our practice session. She was able to quickly identify precise issues in my expressions and give corrections. She also provided useful materials as well as general advice on daily practice that helps me better plan my next steps towards passing the oral exam. She is energetic and her instructions are often fast-paced, which mimics the real test environment. On the other hand, she also shows great adaptiveness and patience as she always attentively listened to my questions and expained in detail whenever I was unsure.
