Online French lessons by a native certified teacher & IB examiner
From 57.65 C$ /h
Bonjour,
I am a qualified French as a foreign language (FFL) teacher with over 20 years experience teaching in International Schools at all levels, from Primary to Secondary. I am a trained French teacher for the International Baccalaureate (IB) program for Ab initio and B levels. I have taught the program for the past 15 years. I am also an examiner for over 10 years. I have also taught IGCSE (International GCSE) students. As a former IB Diploma Coordinator, Middle School and High School principal I have an excellent understanding and ability to tailor a program of learning for students. I can help with any aspect of learning the language, listening, speaking, reading and writing. The first step in learning is understanding your needs and deciding together the way to achieve your goals. IB French ab initio or B students, if you need support to achieve a strong result in the course, contact me now! A bientôt.
Details about the classes:
I have developed an approach to teaching that makes my class fun and interesting. I am well-know amongst my students for creating what they call ‘the joy of learning’.
I tailor the content of the classes to the needs of my students.
We can be doing general conversation, focusing on a point of grammar or practicing vocabulary.
I use AI to provide activities specifically adapted to your individual needs
I create activity booklets in pdf that we use during the course that you can use to practice on your own.
-I can help you improve spelling, vocabulary, grammar and also oral expression.
- I am a fun loving person and I alternate between moments of intense focus and light hearted interactions for a varied learning experience
For IB students, I provide past exam papers and IB exam-like AI-created assessment for exam practice and improvement. I am able to support with expert guidance on avoiding pitfalls and scoring easy points.
Finally, I also create more holistic learning experiences, theme-based for ground improvement not necessarily focussed on exams that do however make for excellent preparation for using the language in an authentic or academic context.
Do not hesitate to contact me for a more personal discussion on your needs.

Extra information
I have been teaching students from varied backgrounds and nationalities (British, Japanese, Koreans, Americans, Thai, Spanish, Dutch and so on...) in my 25 years of international school teaching experience.
I am currently based in France after returning from 3 decades of expatriation in Europe and Asia
I love to pass on my knowledge of the Francophone language and culture.
Ultimately, I find it deeply rewarding to be able to contribute to someone’s academic growth.
