About Me

Bonjour !

I am a passionate French tutor dedicated to making language learning engaging, practical, and accessible for everyone. Currently, I serve as an online tutor at the Language Academy and work as a peer tutor here at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU).

Because of my background in peer tutoring, I understand firsthand the challenges students face when picking up a new language. I believe that learning French should be an exciting adventure, not a chore! My teaching philosophy centers on building real-world conversational confidence right from day one. I like to keep my classes interactive, supportive, and completely stress-free. Whether we are diving into essential grammar rules or practicing daily vocabulary, I break concepts down into simple, easy-to-digest steps so you never feel overwhelmed.

My Methods & Experience
Every student learns differently, which is why I combine my university tutoring experience with dynamic online methods to match your specific goals and pace. In our sessions, we will focus on:

Active Speaking: Getting you comfortable talking about everyday topics and perfecting your pronunciation.

Practical Grammar & Vocabulary: Learning the language structure through relevant, contextual examples rather than rigid memorization.

Interactive Tools: Utilizing digital resources, tailored worksheets, and real-time feedback to keep lessons dynamic and fun.

Who I Love to Teach
I welcome students of all ages and backgrounds! Thanks to my experience both at the academy and the university level, I particularly enjoy teaching:

Absolute Beginners who are taking their very first steps into the French language.

Intermediate Learners & University Peers looking to polish their conversational flow, ace their coursework, or overcome the fear of speaking.

Students & Professionals who need a structured, encouraging environment to meet their academic or career goals.

No matter your starting point, my goal is to create a comfortable space where you feel safe making mistakes because that is exactly how we learn! I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your French language goals. Let’s get started!

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.

I currently provide personalized tutoring for primary and secondary school students in all subjects.

- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to present and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.

Reading comprehension, narrative and argumentative writing, language questions — with method and training for the DNB exams.
Preparation for the French Baccalaureate (1st year)

Literary exploration
Text analysis, movements and genres, works on the syllabus.
A French teacher for 20 years, I have taught in vocational high schools, BTS programs and continuing education for adults.

Are you following the CNED from abroad and do you need regular support, methodology or help to better understand the lessons and assignments?

I offer personalized online support primarily for French-speaking students educated remotely, particularly with the CNED.

With over 10 years of experience teaching French in an international school in Japan, I support students in a structured and caring way to help them progress, gain autonomy and better organize their work.

Depending on the student's needs, the sessions may include:
• Explanation and review of lessons
• help in understanding instructions
• assistance with homework and exercises
• French: grammar, spelling, written expression and comprehension
• methodology and work organization
• preparation for assessments
• Regular monitoring of progress
• special assistance for students living abroad and following a French distance education.

Each lesson is tailored to the student's level, pace, and difficulties.
My goal is not simply to provide answers, but to help the student understand, develop a good working method and gradually become more independent.
The courses are offered entirely online and can be one-off or regular depending on the family's needs.

French is one of the world’s most useful languages for travel, work, and international communication — and with the right guidance, learning it can be genuinely enjoyable rather than intimidating.

I hold a Master’s degree in French Literature from Université Grenoble Alpes (France) and a Bachelor’s in French Translation, and I bring several years of professional experience using French in real-world settings, including work at the French Embassy. I’ve also translated published books from French to Persian, which gives me a deep, practical understanding of how the language actually works — not just textbook rules.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, whether that’s everyday conversation, exam preparation, academic French, or building confidence for travel or work. I teach in English, French, or Persian, adapting to whatever helps you learn best. Lessons are structured but relaxed, with a strong focus on speaking confidence and practical, real-life use of the language.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine an advanced level, I’ll build a plan that fits your pace and goals.
