Literature course (in English or in French - for teenagers)

From 46.5 C$ /h

The goal is to give the maximum of tools to the student to understand how to analyze a work.
I fully understand the frustration that this may cause a student to not understand the subject to be analyzed and how to ask his ideas, and I would like to be able to help at best.

About Me

IN FRENCH:
I have always had a passion for languages and have noticed that very often what prevents people from effectively speaking a language is the difficulty of understanding certain grammar rules, certain words, certain expressions. (Why is it like that ?! How do you say that ?!) I also noticed that these questions are sometimes sources of frustration for some people, and I would really like to help these people overcome these questions and quench their curiosity.

As for literature, I have also always loved work analysis and would like to share with my future students the appropriate techniques for analyzing texts and other works. Again, I understand the source of frustration, and it is extremely annoying to find yourself in front of a text in French (or English) class and not know where to start when the teacher asks to analyze X passage.

I also offer support in exam preparation and can provide tools for time management and revision.

IMPORTANT: I have experience with children with ASD and can also provide stress management tools.
IN ENGLISH:
I've always had a passion for languages, and I've always had a lot of questions about grammatical rules, some words, some expressions even say this ??) I have also noticed that these questions are often the source of frustrations for some people, and I would sincerely love to help those people to overcome those queries and quench their thirst for knowledge and curiosity.

Regarding litterature, I've always liked to analyze different works and would like to share with my future students different techniques to analyze a text (or any other media). Again, I understand the frustration you may feel; It's extremely stressful and disheartening to sit before you.

I also offer support in exam preparation and can provide tools for time management and revision.

IMPORTANT: I have experience working with children with ASD and can also teach stress management techniques.

Having been a teacher for over ten years in Geneva, I am passionate about my work and, more generally, about the French language.

I can help you with both language and literature; together we will find ways for you to progress. My goal is to give meaning to knowledge and to show that you can study French while having fun! I also hold a Master's degree in modern French, general history, and French teaching.

I offer weekly monitoring through an online platform, so you can measure your progress and practice outside of lessons. I like to offer several means of learning, from the most basic (doing exercises, copying sentences) to the most modern (playing small games, watching videos ...). It all depends on the student and their expectations.

It is quite possible for me to help with the writing / correction of work, to finish; I will not do them for you of course, but can provide you with the support and follow-up you need to make them happen. See you soon !

Student in MBA (Master of Business Administration), and having completed my secondary studies at the Collège du Léman, a renowned international school, I obtained my bilingual federal diploma with honors as well as the American High School diploma. My specific option (OS) in Economics and Law defined my choice of university studies and today I am more than happy to share my knowledge with students of all levels.
Having several years of experience in teaching private lessons especially in French (dissertations, text studies and literary analyzes) my method is based on the pedagogy and the adaptation of the content and the form of the course according to the needs of the pupil.
I work with the student in order to optimize his academic performance and consolidate his confidence as well as his abilities with a view to obtaining a demanding higher diploma.
Please take into consideration that the first lesson consists of a ten-minute session during which a first contact is made with the student in order to identify his shortcomings and set performance objectives.

A lesson typically lasts 60 minutes and can take place at the student's home, my home, or another convenient location (a cafe or at university, for example).

“We are only transmitters of knowledge”

I wish to bring to my students some of the enrichments that led me to the smooth and silky paths of literature and writing. From B. Fondane, through Homer, Giono, M. Solaar, Kafka, Kerouac, and Garcia Lorca.

I therefore offer writing workshops, which will allow you to deepen your knowledge of French by discovering authors that you might never have discovered.

It is therefore anything but a school course; the aim is to teach through a participatory and dynamic approach.

- study of texts
- theatrical reading
- composition of poems / songs
- writing short stories
- literary history
- art history

Open to 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇩🇪 with some knowledge of French

In this Spanish course, I'll help you improve your speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills.
Through conversations, podcasts, movies, and the occasional book, which I hope to recommend. Plus, of course, exercises we'll do together to help you fully understand them. Although I'll be there primarily to support you if you have questions or would like to review something specific.

The idea is to help you improve your Spanish, whether you've been learning it in class, have been studying it for a long time, or are just learning it for the first time.
If you are interested, write to me to find out your plan.
PS: My schedule is quite flexible.
