The technology to improve your French. Classes with a certified native teacher.

Hello Bonjour!
I am a native French teacher and a graduate in French Philology since 2012. I have 10 years of experience in Belgium and abroad. I offer online classes using a method that I have developed over the years, specifically for online classes.

*My method:*
-During class we focus on speaking. Outside of class, I will send you exercises that I will correct every week (grammar, conjugation, writing...).
-I use a particular technique based on questions/answers to apply the grammar when speaking.
-I use the verbotonal method to correct pronunciation.
-You will also receive access to an application for your Smartphone (to learn the vocabulary).
-Use an interactive whiteboard.
-We will use a shared online notebook to correct your exercises and ask me your questions at any time of the day.

I offer preparation for official exams (DELF, DALF, TCF, EOI, FIDE in Switzerland...). Classes for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels. Preparation of conferences or talks for business people. Job interviews.

The class is a bit different when I work with children or teenagers. I use interactive websites and letters.

If you want a young, organized, dynamic and passionate teacher, call me or write me!

See you soon,
Laurie*

My name is Nicolas, I am a French teacher and native speaker with 8 years of teaching experience.

My lessons are tailored to each student in order to achieve their personal goals and are adapted to their specific needs.

Practice is prioritised throughout the learning process in order to gain autonomy as quickly as possible. Grammar will also be covered, according to the student's level.

This course is aimed at:
- Beginners (basics, conversation, travel);
- Intermediate/advanced learners (improvement, exam preparation: DELF, DALF, TCF);
- Professionals (business French, interview preparation).

As I am currently in Brazil, I am teaching my classes online. I will be back in Geneva in mid-December for face-to-face classes.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information.

I look forward to hearing from you :)

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.


I look forward to meeting you.

First of all, I am keen to get to know my students. The first lesson is always led by a time for discussion around the student's personal expectations and profile. In addition, it seems absolutely crucial to me to always provide solid methodological bases to all of my learners. This is why a detour via methods specific to French exercises is systematically made with students preparing for the maturity or the baccalaureate. Then, depending on the specific needs of the student, I adapt the session and it is often structured around two moments: on the one hand, I give a lecture on a concept, an author or a literary work, and on the other hand I lead practical exercises. Finally, digital documents can be sent to the student later, this is important so that they can keep a record of our work.
Feel free to contact me for more information.

I travel to homes in the following municipalities: Geneva and its surrounding areas, Collonges-sous-Salève, Archamps, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois, Viry.
The courses can also take place by videoconference, in which case there are no travel costs.
See you soon.

Hello,

A 27-year-old student at the University of Geneva, I offer my services for tutoring and French lessons.
I have had many opportunities to accompany French-speaking or allophone students. I was also a literature teacher for 2 years in a French high school abroad (college level) and gave private FLE lessons to diplomats abroad.
My most recent experience was teaching reading to people with residence permits in France.

My courses adapt to the needs of my students. I therefore always offer a free first meeting in order to assess needs and adapt methods as best as possible.

Do not hesitate to contact me for tailor-made courses!

Hello !

I offer French lessons in the form of individualized support adapted to your learning project, based on a bond of trust and kindness, so that everyone can learn serenely.

I like to teach by emphasizing lively and interactive sessions (in the form of interactions, video or film extracts, reading, etc.) which makes learning less boring!

The idea is first of all to (re)gain confidence and to find together the right method(s) of learning and memorization for everyone, because it is sometimes hard to find your way around. in the intense rhythm of school/professional life!

Whether you need support, to consolidate particular subjects, to start from "zero" or need to perfect your practice, do not hesitate to write to me so that we can develop the follow-up that would suit you best!

Nice to meet you !

- support if the student is demotivated
- a more playful approach to the branch (if necessary)

I am available during the two summer months.

Please feel free to contact me for more information and I look forward to hearing from you :)

With a doctorate in general history, I teach history at all levels. Also, as a native French and Italian speaker, I can tutor at all levels. I can travel to the student's home or provide lessons at their residence. I specialize in the Swiss Federal Maturity Certificate (Matura) and Swiss Federal Maturity Certificate levels.

I am passionate about the spoken and written French language, an author of novels, speeches and articles, well-versed in rhetoric, and eager to share my passion and knowledge with French speakers concerned about improving their writing or with non-French speakers who want to approach French not only through its grammar, but also through its cultural dimension.
Because I speak several languages (German, English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), because I studied Latin in secondary school, I have a diachronic view of the language, its evolution and local dialects (Switzerland, France and Belgium) which allows those who wish to deepen their mastery of French.
