French teaching | Basic and Advanced levels (for any age)

From 21 C$ /h

As I traveled and got to know some people, I have noticed that lots of them would ask me for teaching them French. Some did not know where to start, some have improved in learning process but were looking for levelling up.
As a self-learner myself, I understand the difficulty behind it. Therefore, I would like to put my service online. I will try not to be your regular teacher; I enjoy meeting people, sharing diverse ideas, so I will tend to be friendly. I also understand that some people want to learn French deeper, therefore, if needed, I will switch to a more professional approach.

You may notice later that I like politeness and simplicity, my teaching method may not interest you if you just are looking for learning profanities for instance.

Note: I am very patient and have great experiences with young children, therefore if you would like me to teach them French, I’d be happy to help.

Extra information

Depending on where you are, we can discuss about what to use as a support. I enjoy the good old pen and paper, but if needed, we shall use electronic devices.

About Me

My name is Lisa. I am currently doing a Master in Chemistry in Northern Sweden.
I am born in Congo and, from the moment I turned three to the year I became 13, I have moved between France and Congo every other year. I have settled in France until I become 20 , then I moved to Sweden.
I'd describe myself as feminine, cartesian, patient, and observant. I enjoy meeting new people, it could be anywhere. I am known to have excellent manners, to be a great host and guest, to be kind, considerate, smily, funny, and very weird (I posses all sorts of weirdness hahah).
I am a late bilingual. Although French is my mother tongue, I turn out not to have a French accent, according to my family and friends.

I have visited a few countries in the meantime; all The United States, Holland Germany and Luxembourg, all for one day. I spent from a week to a month in Belgium, Spain and Canada. Finally, I have lived for a few months in Austria.
As I am in an "international city", I have met people from many places and have developed close friendships; turns out we enjoy coffee shops and food a lot!

I have learnt, English, Spanish, and a little bit of German in school. I had started learning Russian and Italian languages, and the Hangeul alphabet a few years ago, but I stopped, and I am currently learning Swedish.

Having me as a teacher shall depend on who your personality. I tend to be a chameleon and adapt to the person I am facing. However, you will always see parts of my personality expressing themselves, that's why I presented myself above.

Information below are not related to languages, but are here in case you'd like to know more about my hobbies.

Related to my field of study, I enjoy the complexity of Organic Chemistry, the techniques used in Analytical Chemistry, the art of report writing, the duality behind Biochemistry, and the popular field of Environmental Chemistry.

I love gastronomy; for me, it's more than preparing food, I enjoy learning about the basics like the knives' types, the difference between ingredients, and so on.
I love photography! I am a visual person, therefore, I find a lot of satisfaction in my photographies. I like them minimalist and on a macro level preferably.
I like fashion a lot; again, I rarely develop my passions on the surface level. Thus, I find pleasure in getting to marry colours, textures, learning about fibres and fabrics, distinguishing good quality from bad quality.

Education

Bachelor in Life Science (started in Paris, France and finished in Umea, Sweden), bases in medicine (studied for one year in Paris, France), currently doing a Master in Chemistry

Experience / Qualifications

I have little experiences here and there in pharmacy and Biochemistry.

I have passed my TOEFL in 2018 (score 92), and I have attend a A1 class in Swedish (at Folkuniversitet). My latest OLS English result shows a C1 level.

I have a great background about communication with people from other places in the worlds; I used to be on a website that promoted teaching languages to people; I have met some Vietnamese, Korean (who I have met in Paris later), Chinese, Swedish, Ukrainian, and German people, and helped them improving their English.

I have spent most of my childhood taking care of my younger cousins and cousines, so I am comfortable with communicating with little boys and girls.

(25)

French teacher for foreigners and native French speaker, with a Master's degree in French as a Foreign Language and 21 years of experience teaching in private schools (Montpellier, Lyon, Minneapolis, Salvador da Bahia, Lisbon, Berlin, Barcelona, Brussels). 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. Speaking English, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese also allows me to better understand students' difficulties.

My courses are based on listening to learners' needs, using effective teaching methods, and employing a dynamic approach and immersion in the French language! Of course, learners are expected to do some independent work, without using AI or any other application, in order to learn more effectively, practice, and exercise their own brainpower! And there's no age limit to learning!
Take the step and learn or improve your French enthusiastically with me!

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

Academic success, even at the university level, is determined by the ability to understand and write different types of texts. I offer courses that will allow you to overcome the difficulties you encounter in reading or writing by giving you the text-writing toolkit that school, unfortunately, doesn't provide. I myself had to build this toolkit over the years at university, and I will gladly share it with you so that you can succeed.

Here are the different points that my offer covers:

READING
Guided reading
Effective reading strategies
Text theory (structure, function, typology...)
General knowledge
Communication Theory

PRODUCTION
Reformulation
Summary
Reading log
Accurate
Text analysis
Characterization
Interpretation
Text explanation
Text commentary
Dissertation Essay
Comment
Argumentation

You can take a full course with regular sessions or one-off courses to do specific work such as writing a reading summary.

Lessons can be taken individually or in groups. The methods are flexible to adapt to each individual case.

What matters to me in particular:

motivate my student and give him a learning pace;
encourage their creativity;
to awaken his curiosity;
to forge a friendship with the texts

During this first lesson, you can get a solid idea of my teaching style. I look forward to meeting you.
