The purpose of the trial session is to get to know each other. For me, it's about listening to you speak French, learning about your needs while getting an idea of your level. I will take advantage of this moment to explain my method and the documents I generally use and I would like to discover the ones you like to use. If we have time, we can start to study together from this first contact after having answered all your questions. The important thing is that after this session you should already have learned something new in French.

Writing - Grammar: Solve your grammar problems!. Improve your writing skills! Choose only one of the two courses (grammar OR writing improvement). Become proficient in writing all types of text in French (report, resume, cover letter, story, dialog, etc.). For stories, and dialogs, I like to use activities for improving your creative writing. If you have punctually a few lines or less than half a page (A4) to correct quickly, the 30- minute session is for you.
Pronunciation - Level 1 (beginners and elementary levels) - Basics of pronunciation: intonation, rhythm, liaison, silent e, the link between written and spoken forms. Level 2 (intermediate level and further) - Study of consonants, vowels, specific pronunciation difficulties, interpretation activities (reading, study of dialogues of films or conversation in specific situations). I use a variety of textbooks, but the foundation relies on the verbo-tonal method. If you want more information about content, feel free to contact me.
Improving oral communication: enriching vocabulary, gaining confidence, structuring its speeches.

Improvement of writing, conversation, pronunciation skills.

I like to use a textbook: « Totem 1 & 2 » or « Tendances 2 » for elementary levels and Alter Ego+ 3 & 4 for intermediate levels. For C1 and C2, I can use Alter Ego 5 or « Tendances C1/C2 ». Of course, textbooks are useful to get a general frame, but I add my own documents, documents from other textbooks, and authentic documents (pictures, movies extracts, trailers, press articles, device instruction booklets, etc.), according to your needs or if I judge it necessary. Of course, if you want to use a specific textbook because you used it in another class, for example, I can work with it.
I studied sociology at university and I still read articles about social sciences. We can start from an event, a behavior, a statistic, anything, and little by little, try to connect it to another practice to understand origin, purpose, and typically French attitude.

General French - Elementary, Intermediate & Advanced (A1.5-C2) - Adult

Punctual correction of all types of texts, academic (high school, university homework, etc.) or professional (but no document related to an administrative matter or a job offer such as a CV or a cover letter: for this, book a session of the "Administrative procedure in French" package).
Depending on the theme and length of the text, the number and nature of the errors, the corrections or adjustments require a more or less in-depth discussion. 
Of course, it is better to send the texts to be corrected in advance and not the day before.
An hour started is due in full.

Correction of all types of texts, academic (high school, university, etc.) or professional (reports, projects, etc.).

Beginner status is valid for the first twenty-five hours of teaching. I like to use the textbook « Inspire 1 » for beginners. I use textbooks as a general guide, but I share and recommend my own documents, documents from other textbooks, and rich resources (pictures, movie extracts, trailers, press articles, device instruction booklets, etc.), according to your needs and interests. If you prefer to use a specific textbook that you’ve used previously, I’m happy to accommodate. I studied sociology at university and I still read articles about social sciences.
