About Me

My name is Virginie, I currently live in Bordeaux, a city in France. I am a French native speaker; also fluent in English and teach French online since 2017.
My students were and are of different levels, from beginners to advanced level. Some want to learn French as a hobby, others want to pass the DELF or use French in their professional life. I consider each student as unique and deliver personalised content to each.
I am a big fan of travels, I love exchanging about life experiences, cultures, arts, music, cooking, psychology and of course learning new things about topics I do not know.
I travelled across Western Europe, and stopped longer than 1 month in Belgium, Greece, Sweden, Italy, UK and France.
I enjoy very much teaching French. I believe speaking different languages has deep meaning, it is symbolic. It is like opening yourself to the unknown, a culture, a country, its inhabitants, it may appear scary, but it is wonderful. Despite the challenges you may meet during your learning process, you will grow and discover yourself a bit more. Learning a language is also an act of peace and openness towards the other, a different person.
I am excited to teach French to people as it is a human experience to me too, not only you my future students. I actually make a effort to personalize each lesson, I adjust topics and
the direction of each lesson according to your areas of interest, your progress and of course your goals.
About me, I am a French teacher, but also a composer of Electroacoustic music and a pastry chef. I am passionate of photography, tarot reading and also psychology.
I am starting to learn Spanish right now...
Anyway, I'd be more than happy to receive messages from you and lesson requests.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at anytime. My response are quite :)
See you very soon

Reviews (5)

Excellent teacher! I had entry level classes in French with Virginie. Flexible hours, willingness to explain even the simplest grammar rules. Very good communication in English. Definitely recommended for French classes - communicating in English.
I really enjoyed Virginie's lesson. She will definitely help me to improve my French.
I am very satisfied with Virginie’s support to improve my French. She is a highly educated native speaker who is very knowledgable of the nuances of her language. So far we have focused on improving my writting skills, through written compositions that she corrects, as well as my oral expressions through lively discussions between ourselves.
I LOVE my classes with Virginie! In addition to be smart, knowledgeable and professional, she is also very outgoing and sociable. Those features are really important to me in a tutor. She makes our classes fun and informative. I highly recommend her to anyone who’s interested in taking French classes from a native speaker.
Vriginie is a perceptive,engaging and effective teacher. Thank you Virginie!

Kevin
Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.
French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master. My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.
