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 a FLE (French as a foreign language) teacher in training centers, associations, and remotely for foreigners who wish to learn French.
Preparation for TCF Canada, DEFL and DAFL for all levels.

I have a master's degree in business engineering and international trade, a certification in French as a Foreign Language and a master's degree in teaching.
I use fun and interactive methods with lots of language practice.
I can help you write your CV and cover letter, and practice for job interviews.

I offer sessions adapted to the needs and pace of each learner.

Methodology :
- Initial assessment: For each support I will carry out a diagnostic assessment to identify the student's strengths and weaknesses in the subject concerned (mathematics, French, science, etc.).
- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.
- Regular monitoring: I plan regular assessments to adjust the learning method and adapt the pace of the lessons.

So what are you waiting for? Join me for an unforgettable adventure!

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.

I offer French classes adapted to the level, age and objectives of each student, both for beginners and for people who already have knowledge of French and want to continue progressing.

My method is based on always combining theory with practice. After clearly explaining a new concept, we will work on it in different ways to facilitate understanding and, above all, to enable the student to use it naturally.

Lessons may include oral and written exercises, conversations, interactive games, everyday situations, and vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation activities. I like to vary the exercises to keep lessons dynamic and promote memorization.

As a native French speaker, I also place great importance on oral expression and can help the student become familiar with the pronunciation, expressions, and French that is actually used in France.

I adapt to the needs of each person: introduction to French, conversation, school support, help with homework or simply wanting to gain confidence and fluency.

My goal is to create a pleasant and dynamic environment where the student can learn, practice and make mistakes without fear, progressing at their own pace.
