Easy and Effective French Learning Courses with Fun :))
course price icon
From 59 C$ /h
arrow icon
Passionate about languages and the art of transmitting knowledge, I hold a PhD in Language Science, with a major in linguistics. My years of experience as FLE teacher (in France and Germany) and my PhD on the simplification of specialized medical texts (for non-experts) have sharpened my sense of pedagogy.
I therefore offer my learners personalized French classes that address all their specific needs, both oral and written, through a personalized and easy learning process and in a good atmosphere. Thanks to this method, you will quickly notice improvements in your language skills.
The course schedule will be defined after discussion and according to your availability. Given the current situation, the courses will be mainly online (via Zoom or Skype) but with the possibility of organizing face-to-face sessions if needed.
Extra information
To ensure a quality learning, those who register to learn French as a foreign language (e.i. who are not interested in support classes), might sometimes need to provide themselves with the indicated learning material

About Me
I am passionate about teaching, about knowledge transfer and about languages that is the reason why i carried out studies, and most particularly my PhD, around this specific topic : languages. Thus is teaching languages a passion for me, an activity that brings me joy. The satisfaction of my learners is my main objective and we work together in order to make it possible. As a passionate teacher, i always endeavour to increase learning potentials of my students by creating an effective learning environment. Indeed my teaching method is entirely shaped by the learner’s needs, but there are at least three ingredients that never miss : fun, simplicity and effectiveness, because from my 4 years teaching experience, I came to understand that fun and simplicity (in the way the lesson is taught) play a key role for an effective and successful teaching.

Who ? I am 51 years old and have been a French teacher for 27 years in French-speaking secondary education in Belgium. For three years now, I have decided to follow the entrepreneurial path by offering freelance courses. With hindsight today, I regret not having done it sooner as the exchange with new people, young and old, French-speaking or not, is particularly enriching.
What? I offer French or FLE courses based on multiple sources and I renew them regularly because it is important to be in adequacy with the current society.
Or ? I go to the learner's home where we decide to do the course online.
When? I work at the Belgian-Luxembourg border and I go to Luxembourg 4 to 5 times a week, usually at the beginning or end of the afternoon. I am also available on weekends.

Professional teacher, French, very experienced and very serious, I offer private lessons and tutoring at a distance (by Zoom or Skype) or face-to-face (Luxembourg-city and surroundings) in French for primary school and school secondary (French, history, geography), as well as French as a foreign language (FLE) courses for children and adults.

I am always very attentive to the pupil or the student I have in front of me, his characteristics and his specificities, I thus adapt to the pupil in order to be as efficient as possible, that either in tutoring classes or in French as a foreign language classes.

I therefore try to adapt as best as possible the methodology of the courses and the teaching aids used to the different students and their particularities, as my background shows: in total I have completed 26 years of teaching (higher education, secondary education, private lessons) to all kinds of audiences, in all kinds of conditions, and in 4 different countries: France, Luxembourg, Russia, Lithuania.

I have in fact taught French middle and high school students; students from the Luxembourg school systems, from the European Schools in Luxembourg; to French, Lithuanian, Russian students...; to Lithuanian French teachers; to adults of different nationalities learning French in Luxembourg, etc.

During the ten years of private lessons in Luxembourg, I carried out different types of lessons and activities:
- courses in history, geography, French (primary and secondary schools), French for adults (FLE: French as a foreign language),
- preparation for the French bac: French 2nd and 1st year classes (French literature),
- supervision of a student enrolled in history-geography at the CNED (National Center for Distance Studies, France),
- preparation for the French tests for the entrance exams to the Luxembourg civil service (summaries, discussions, method of the dissertation),
- supervision of a summary test in French for a business school competition,
- proofreading and correction of dissertations in French (higher education), etc.
