Would you like to learn french in a relax but efficient way ? To be able quickly to have a conversation with French speaking colleagues or neighbors ? To enjoy French movies in their original version ? To express yourself fluently, using a language adequate to your environment ? To learn it efficiently without working on it 2 hours a day ?

My name is Zoé, and I can help you. But first, a little bit of context : I am not à French teacher, but a passionate language learner. I speak English, Spanish fluently, German decently, and I am currently learning Arabic.

Even though I had classes of English and German at school, those classes really allow me to reach the level I currently hold. And I never took a single Spanish class.

So, how did I do it ? With the help of many other passionate polyglots I used a lot of different tools and learnt a great deal about language learning.

How to make it fun ? How to make it efficient ? How to make it useful ? What doesn’t work ? What is a waste of time ? What is a good goal when learning a new language ? What can I expect from a new language ? I am far from having all the answers, but I have some important ones.
Extra information
What to expect when learning french with me ?

1. Unconventional ways of learning : a lot of conversations, from the beginning ; almost no english ; strange stories ; charades ; drawings. A lot of fun, I promise.

2. A completely personalized class : Even though there are a few things that you should learn in a certain order, we will adapt the content of classes to your current needs and desires.

3. The support of technology. A computer and internet can help a great deal when learning a language. I'll show you how to use those tools to help you in your language learning journey.

4. Fun and motivation. I am well placed to know that learning a language take time and dedication, and I'd expect that from you. But one of my roles will be to help you find the motivation and create the context to make that as easy as possible.


Classes can take place at your place or in an enjoyable public space (a café, a university,...).


I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELING AND I'LL NOT BE IN GENEVA UNTIL THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER. IF YOU WISH TO TAKE AN APPOINTMENT; PLEASE WRITE ME A MESSAGE, I'LL GET BACK TO YOU WHEN I COME BACK.

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,

I am a Belgian (Flemish) and French student with a Masters in International Public Law (Amsterdam) and a Masters in Global development (University of Copenhagen). World traveler, I have lived in Thailand, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, US, Switzerland and many more countries, where I both dtudies and worked as a legal advisor.

I have been tutoring since 2017, both in person, in schools and online, since 2017, I have been working with around 250 students, located everywhere in the world! Here is an overview of my previous tutoring experience:

2022-Now:
Online tutoring on Apprentus, (approx 12h/week).

2023:
Tutor of Dutch at Varady Language school in Geneva

2021-2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught French, Dutch, and English to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.

I can teach French, Dutch, and English, Spanish and in German, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.

As a person, I am flexible, calm, and positive.

I am excited to meet you and look forward to working with 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.

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.
