I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

Communication is the most versatile and sought-after skill today. Whether it's to succeed in an oral exam, convince during a job interview, lead a professional meeting, or simply overcome shyness and express oneself clearly, speaking is something that can be learned and practiced.

I offer you tailored support to unlock your potential, structure your thinking and give impact to your interventions, both oral and written (in person or online).
The strategic focus of our work:
Ease and Oral Eloquence: In-depth work on non-verbal communication (posture, gaze, gestures) and paraverbal communication (voice management, intonation, rhythm, silences).

Managing stage fright and stress: Breathing and grounding techniques to overcome the fear of public speaking and transform stress into positive energy.

Structuring techniques: Learning impactful argumentative structures. How to capture attention from the first few seconds, maintain audience interest, and conclude with a powerful message.

Written expression techniques: Clarity of style, choice of vocabulary, writing of professional emails, reports or impactful speeches.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
