French Intensive Classes | French Native teaches gets you to speak in record time!

From 46.51 C$ /h

Hello!
My name is Sofia, and I've been teaching languages for seven years.
I grew up in France and went to a bunch of multilingual schools, making me native in French and fluent in English.

My lessons are heavily focused on practicality. You will speak and listen to French from day one.

Grammar, use of language and sentence structure are still a part of the deal, but I focus on their functionality for the speaker.
This means that, unless you are very interested in learning all of French grammar, I will not go deep into grammar topics that don't require us to.

I provide:

=> Practical lessons, in order to get as much french out of you as possible!
=> A comprehensive study structure, designed according to your hardships and objectives.
=> Empowering lessons, in order for you to feel confortable to speak when you want to speak.
=> Ocasional themed lessons, to make classes dynamic and motivating.
=> Productive homework assignments, based on what your french speaking needs.
=> Exposition to the francophone world, in order to root for your imersion in the language.

A little bit about me:

Part of my teenage years were in Portugal, and growing up, I saw my peers having a hard time learning how to speak French and English.

With time, I understood that traditional language teaching methods rarely ever insist on speaking skills, so I decided to take action and built my entire method on filling up that gap.

I'm also an avid language learner, and I've been through it all:

=> The embarrassment of trying to speak to a local and not being understood in the least way;
=> The confusion of not knowing when to start
=> Feeling scared about making mistakes in my goal language and post-poning my learning because of that.
=> And all the hardships you can think of!!

Recently, I've reached my 100th happy student. I want to help another 100 of you.
Can you help me with that?

About Me

Hi! My name is Sofia, and I am a French and English teacher. I really enjoy learning languages, crochetting, producing music, and singing.
Currently, I am also a student like you, as I am learning how to sing and produce music, and I am learning Italian.

I know what it's like to be scared of speaking a new language and making a fool of yourself, not knowing where to start. So, I understand how and I want to help you.

I started teaching because I have been fluent in French and English since I was eight, and it felt like a comfortable and easy way to enter the working world.
However, over time, I realized that I love teaching.
I love realizing that I helped someone through their journey of self-development.

Because of that, I focus my lessons on empowering and making my students feel comfortable and confident speaking the language they are learning.

I like to teach students who:
=> are eager to learn
=> determined,
=> want to achieve results in months.

I enjoy intense teaching periods where the student and I work hard together to reach their French or English goals. Of course, the intensity depends on how much time the student has and how much of an investment they can make. But, in general, I like my classes to be productive, and I want the student to feel like the class made a difference that day.

I've been teaching languages for 7 years now. It started as a part-time job when I was in high school, tutoring students from middle and high school. With time, I realized that traditional teaching methods do not reach everyone, so I became determined to make my classes different.

In 2021, I started teaching French to adults, feeling there's a lack of offers for adults who want to learn languages in a practical way. In 2022, I launched my business, and by August of that year, teaching became my full-time job. In the past 14 months, I've helped nearly 100 people reach their goals in French and English, and I aspire to help a hundred more.

In October 2022, I tested my A1 French curriculum for group classes on a group of students for free. In February 2023, I began teaching my first A1 French course. Since then, I've launched my French A2, B1, and B2 courses.
Currently, I have students living in Belgium and moving to Switzerland after our learning journey.

I focus my classes on:
=> speaking practice- because you learn a language by speaking!
=> imersion in French/American culture and language.
=> teaching you how to learn autonomously, outside our class, so you learn the most you can outside of class too.
=> Use of language, the funcionality of grammar and sentence structure.

Grammar, language use, pronunciation, and listening are not ignored.

I always send homework to my students, tailored to what they need the most at the moment—whether it's grammar exercises, written expression, an opinion text on a video, or listening to a song.

When my students ask for a one-on-one lesson, I tailor it to their needs, including their interests or professional domains.

If my student goes to school, I keep up with what they're learning and try to enhance their knowledge with additional sources and learning methods.
I believe a student armed with multiple tools will have an easier time dealing with new themes.
As always, I focus on practice because the more you practice a language, the more intuitive it becomes, and the less you stress about grammar and rules.
My objective is to get people to feel confortable and confident while dealing with French and English.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

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.

Preparation for DEFL and DAFL for all levels.

I have a master's degree in business engineering and international trade, a certification in FLE and a master's degree in teaching in progress.
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.

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.

My methodology: Learning to structure one's thoughts to express oneself better
My approach is based on a simple observation: success is not achieved through lack of effort, but often through a lack of method and confidence. My role is to transform subjects sometimes perceived as abstract (Philosophy, French) or intimidating (English) into concrete tools for success.

The typical course of a session:
1. Quick diagnosis: We start by identifying the areas of uncertainty from the previous lesson or the difficulties with a specific exercise.
2. Taking action: No boring lectures! We work on concrete exercises, essay plans or oral practice (in English) to "learn by doing".
3. The "Montreal Method": Having worked for two and a half years in Quebec, I use a North American pedagogy that is very focused on encouragement, clear structure and student autonomy.
4. Summary & Objectives: We end each session with a recap of the key points so that the student knows exactly what to revise.

What makes the difference: As a philosophy student, I don't just teach authors; I teach the methodology that allows students to think for themselves about major philosophical concepts. In English, my dual nationality allows me to naturally correct speech patterns and accents. In French, I've had the privilege of preparing dozens of students for their Baccalaureate exams, using a targeted approach. My experience has taught me that there are no wrong answers, only ideas that need to be better formulated.
