In this trial lesson, I will learn more about your current ability, your goals and motivations.
Together, we will build a lesson plan and see the materials and textbook we will be using.

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 can send you a precise lesson plan if you want but as we will follow a book, the lesson plan is more or less the book chapters. I have lots of other materials that we will also use. This Study book is just a learning guide, nothing more!

I always suggest homework as it is important for reinforcing the language learning but of course this is optional.

I will encourage you to listen to French radio, podcasts, watch French TV etc which would help you to increase your exposure to French. My job is to help you to go the extra mile.

Let's learn French: Level A0 to B2

Si  votre niveau de français est C1 ou C2, alors vous avez déjà d'excellentes habitudes d'apprentissage, vous lisez les journaux ou des romans en français, regardez des séries et/ou écoutez des podcasts, faites vos propres flashcards ainsi que des exercices de grammaire, bravo !

Pour vous, le professeur doit apporter ce que vous ne pouvez absolument pas faire tout seul : parler et corriger votre écrit.

C'est pourquoi, ensemble, nous pouvons améliorer vos compétences écrites en corrigeant vos textes ; nous pouvons pratiquer l'oral par des conversations sur des sujets précis et des mises en situation. Enfin, nous pouvons étudier ensemble un roman, le résumer, en discuter.

Nous pouvons éventuellement aussi travailler l'orthographe en faisant des dictées, approfondir certains points de grammaire ou de vocabulaire, par exemple étudier comment se construisent l'argot et le verlan.

Alors, j'espère à bientôt !

I helped create the school,  did lots of secretary work as well as diverse teachings jobs.

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.
