Hi! Iām Sara, a native French speaker from Paris, now living in Lyon where I study geology. Iāve always loved sharing knowledge so much so that I started my own tutoring association during the quarantine. Iām passionate about languages and cultures, and throughout my studies, Iāve had the chance to learn English, Italian, Spanish, and Arabic. I also love traveling to meet people and discover new perspectives. Outside of teaching, Iām into astronomy, podcasting, literature, and anything that sparks thoughtful conversation. My goal is to create a relaxed, supportive space where you feel confident expressing yourself in French, naturally and with joy.Me as a Teacher
Iāve been teaching for several years, both in class and online. Iāve taught English to teenagers in group settings, as well as French and science to individual students. Iām a supportive and encouraging teacher, I believe that learning should be enjoyable and pressure-free. I adapt to each studentās pace and level, and I always make sure the atmosphere is respectful and positive. My goal is to help you feel more confident and independent in French, step by step.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are personalized based on your goals and interests. We can focus on speaking, listening, reading, writing, or all four! I offer different formats: casual conversation, grammar explanations, essay writing support, or even a book club format for advanced learners. I provide clear explanations and helpful feedback. Making mistakes is part of the process, no judgment here! I always create a relaxed space where you can feel free to try, learn, and improve.My teaching material

My first short lesson with Sara was very nice. She tried her best to understand what level my French is, why I want to learn it, and how we would best go forward in other lessons. She also corrected my mistakes and wrote new words and sentences down for me.

Sara was very patient during the lesson. She explained grammar concepts slowly for me and repeated things when I needed. After, I had a chance to practice speaking and Sara gave me corrections as I needed.

Sara est une prof de franƧais trĆØs agrĆ©able. Lors du cours dāessai, elle a non seulement corrigĆ© mes erreurs et proposĆ© des mots plus prĆ©cis et plus avancĆ©s, mais elle a aussi pris le temps dāexpliquer certaines rĆØgles de grammaire et dāanimer un petit jeu pour pratiquer un point que je trouve difficile. Je la recommande vivement !
