A French course to get started in Geneva

From 82 C$ /h

I had the advantage of learning French in college and when I arrived in Geneva I could easily integrate, but many people did not have this opportunity.
Moreover, public training is often at fixed hours, not easily accessible for people in employment or not sufficiently adapted to the particular requirements of each.
For this reason I decided to make available my linguistic knowledge and territory, to help who, like me it was a time, just arrived here.
I offer beginner level individual courses to practice, deepen and consolidate the basics of the French language. Teaching at flexible hours and with fluid and dynamic content to facilitate your linguistic and cultural integration in Geneva.

Location

Online from Switzerland

About Me

I have a master's degree in cognitive science with a specialization in linguistics.

Of Sicilian origin, I live in Geneva for 8 years and I work in a cultural institution.

In my spare time I love going to the theater, reading and swimming.

I have been interested since my studies in teaching Italian as a foreign language.

Education

Master in Cognitive Sciences, with a specialization in psycholinguistics
Bachelor in Communication, with a specialization in linguistics
I studied foreign languages in high school and university as well.

Experience / Qualifications

An Italian lesson for all! Learn Italian in an easy and relaxed way.

62 C$ /h

Graduated in linguistics at the University of Siena, teaching Italian has always been one of my great passions.

I propose dynamic courses, changing according to the progress of the student and I dedicate a lot of importance to vocabulary and grammar.

This course is for those who want to start learning a new language as well as those who want to revise or keep it alive!

French teacher for foreigners and native French speaker, with a Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language and 21 years of experience teaching in private schools (Montpellier, Lyon, Minneapolis, Salvador da Bahia, Lisbon, Berlin, Barcelona, Brussels). I offer private lessons in: grammar, syntax, vocabulary, speaking and writing, phonetics, conversation, current events, DELF and DALF exam preparation, etc. I can also provide knowledge of Francophone literature, the humanities, theater, and other arts. Speaking English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese also allows me to better understand students' difficulties.

My courses are based on listening to learners' needs, using effective teaching methods, and employing a dynamic approach and immersion in the French language! Of course, learners are expected to do some independent work, without using AI or any other application, in order to learn more effectively, practice, and exercise their own brainpower! And there's no age limit to learning!
Take the step and learn or improve your French enthusiastically with me!

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

I am a trained French teacher with a degree in linguistics. I have been teaching since 2012 and I support candidates in improving their French and preparing for official exams.

The preparation is fully tailored to your level, the date of your exam and the skills you need to strengthen.

We are working on the different challenges:
- listening comprehension;
- understanding of written texts;
- written production;
- oral production.

The goal is not only to improve your French, but also to understand what examiners expect and to learn how to respond effectively to exam instructions.

Depending on your needs, we can work on methodology, organization of ideas, argumentation, grammar, vocabulary, time management and correction of written or oral productions.

Exercises and practice topics may be offered between lessons to track your progress and identify areas that require more work.

As the exam approaches, we can also carry out simulations under conditions close to the real test, particularly for oral production.

Before we begin, simply tell me the diploma and level you are preparing for, the scheduled date of the exam, and the difficulties you wish to work on as a priority.

I offer you a new learning experience.

Academic success, even at the university level, is determined by the ability to understand and write different types of texts. I offer courses that will allow you to overcome the difficulties you encounter in reading or writing by giving you the text-writing toolkit that school, unfortunately, doesn't provide. I myself had to build this toolkit over the years at university, and I will gladly share it with you so that you can succeed.

Here are the different points that my offer covers:

READING
Guided reading
Effective reading strategies
Text theory (structure, function, typology...)
General knowledge
Communication Theory

PRODUCTION
Reformulation
Summary
Reading log
Accurate
Text analysis
Characterization
Interpretation
Text explanation
Text commentary
Dissertation Essay
Comment
Argumentation

You can take a full course with regular sessions or one-off courses to do specific work such as writing a reading summary.

Lessons can be taken individually or in groups. The methods are flexible to adapt to each individual case.

What matters to me in particular:

motivate my student and give him a learning pace;
encourage their creativity;
to awaken his curiosity;
to forge a friendship with the texts

During this first lesson, you can get a solid idea of my teaching style. I look forward to meeting you.

I am very flexible and want to adapt to your or your child's needs. We can tailor the lessons to your interests (thematic), purpose (talking abilities, professional, becoming fluent), needs (homework or not) and much more.

Feel free to reach out and let's have a free introductory session together to talk expectations, needs and schedule 📆

I offer structured and customized French language lessons tailored to each student's level and goals, focusing on building a strong and correct linguistic foundation from the beginning, and gradually progressing towards mastering the language at an advanced level.
My lessons include:
Grammar and Writing: Learn grammar gradually, correcting and explaining mistakes directly, and developing skills in sentence formation, organizing ideas, and writing correctly.
Reading and comprehension: Using clear and visually organized texts, with practice in careful reading, correct pronunciation, and reading comprehension.
Vocabulary and Expression: Enriching vocabulary and learning natural and advanced French expressions.
Conversation and communication: Developing the ability to express ideas and discuss diverse topics, gradually moving on to more in-depth topics such as history, literature, culture, society, and politics.
I make sure to consider individual differences and the needs of each learner, and to adapt the educational materials and the method of explanation in a way that helps them learn with confidence and effectiveness.
My goal is to help you move from having a strong foundation in French to using the language fluently, accurately, and confidently, both orally and in writing.
