French course for beginners – Conversation, basics and everyday French

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 59 C$ /h

Do you want to learn French, review the basics, or become more comfortable speaking it?

I offer French courses adapted mainly to beginners and people who wish to progress in concrete everyday life situations.

The courses are personalized according to your level, your pace and your objectives.

We can work in particular on:

the first useful sentences in French;
conversation and pronunciation;
listening comprehension;
everyday vocabulary;
the basics of grammar and conjugation;
reading and writing;
Useful French for travelling, living or working in France.

I favour a gradual and practical approach: learning the important rules, of course, but above all knowing how to actually use them.

Each lesson may combine conversation, vocabulary, comprehension, simple exercises and role-playing.

The first session allows us to get to know each other, assess your level and define your objectives together in order to build a suitable learning plan.

Complete beginners are welcome.

Extra information

No minimum level is required: complete beginners are welcome.

For online courses, simply provide an internet connection, a computer or tablet, and something to take notes with.

You can also specify the following to me before the first session:

your current level in French;
your native language;
your objectives;
the situations in which you wish to use French.

For example: living in France, travelling, working, communicating with French speakers or simply learning the language for pleasure.

Simple and personalized materials can be used during classes.

About Me

I am French and passionate about languages, cultural exchange, and teaching.

Having lived abroad for several years, particularly in Australia, I understand the challenges that come with learning a new language and starting to use it in everyday life.

I also work in the field of training and education, which allows me to create progressive, structured lessons tailored to each student.

I speak English fluently, which can be especially helpful for English-speaking beginners when explaining a grammar point or clarifying something they do not understand.

My approach is practical and supportive: I want my students to build confidence, feel comfortable speaking, and quickly be able to use French in real-life situations.

Every student has different goals, so I adapt my lessons to their level, needs, and learning pace.

Education

Instructional Design & Learning Management – OpenClassrooms
Training focused on course design, instructional design, digital learning, learner support, and training quality.

BTS Technical Sales
A two-year higher education diploma combining sales skills, customer relations, negotiation, and technical knowledge.

My professional background has also enabled me to develop strong skills in management, learner support, and adult training, both in France and internationally.

Experience / Qualifications

My experience is mainly in training, learner support, and management.

I worked as a Training Coordinator and Quality Coordinator within a training organisation, where I supported learners throughout their learning journey. I also have experience in individual educational support, particularly with Acadomia.

I have recently completed my Instructional Design and Learning Management training with OpenClassrooms, earning a professional certification. This training enabled me to develop my skills in designing learning programmes, defining learning objectives, creating educational materials, and adapting teaching methods to each learner’s needs.

I also provide one-to-one French lessons to beginner English-speaking learners, focusing on conversation, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, reading, and writing.

Finally, after living and working in Australia for several years, I am fluent in English. This allows me to support English-speaking beginners effectively and to use English when needed to clarify explanations.

Maths lessons – Elementary and middle school | Support, remedial work and methodology

49 C$ /h

I offer mathematics lessons for primary and secondary school students, adapted to each student's level, pace and difficulties.

The primary objective is to understand the concepts, regain confidence, and make sustainable progress.

Depending on the student's needs, the courses may cover:

understanding the lessons;
the basics are being reviewed;
homework help;
calculations and mental arithmetic;
fractions, percentages and proportions;
geometry;
equations and algebraic calculation;
problem solving;
preparation for tests;
preparation for the brevet exam.

I take the time to identify the sticking points in order to explain the concepts differently if necessary, with simple examples and progressive exercises.

My approach is based on understanding rather than mechanical learning: the goal is for the student to know why they are using a method, and not just how to apply it.

Each session is tailored to the needs of the moment: reviewing a chapter, preparing for an assignment, catching up or regular support throughout the year.

I offer private lessons in: grammar, syntax, vocabulary, speaking and writing, phonetics, conversation, current events, DELF and DALF exam preparation, etc. I can also provide knowledge of Francophone literature, the humanities, theater, and other arts.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and 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.

Would you like to feel more confident speaking French, prepare for a language exam, or use French in your academic or professional life?

I'm a native French speaker with six years of experience teaching French to learners of different ages and proficiency levels. Between 2019 and 2025, I worked with students pursuing a variety of goals, from improving their conversational skills to preparing for B2 certification, gaining admission to study programmes in France, and finding employment there.

Together we can work on:
- Conversation and fluency: wo you understand French but find it difficult to speak spontaneously? We can practise everyday conversations, discuss topics that interest you, and work on expressing yourself more naturally and confidently.
- French for work and university: whether you need to write formal emails, contact a professor, prepare for a job interview, or communicate with colleagues, we can work on the language, tone, and expressions appropriate to each situation.
- Grammar and pronunciation: we can tackle the areas you find most challenging and work through examples that help you understand how French works in practice.
- Exam preparation: If you're preparing for a French language exam, including B2 certification, we can work towards your specific objectives and identify the areas where you need the most support.

Over time, I've learned that everyone approaches a language differently. That's why I like to adapt my lessons to your needs, interests, and objectives, while making the learning process engaging and practical. Learning a language becomes much more engaging when it connects with your interests and everyday life. Alongside more structured exercises, I like to use authentic materials such as films, songs, articles, and other contemporary media to explore how French is actually used.

Tell me a little about your level and what you'd like to achieve, and we can work out an approach that suits you! Depending on your goals, we might practise a conversation, discuss a film, work through a grammar point, prepare a formal email, or focus on a specific exam task. I'll adapt our lessons and exercises to your level and interests, so you can make progress without losing sight of what motivates you to learn.

Lessons are available online and in person in Groningen, either in a café, at the forum, or on campus!
