Hello everyone and welcome to my profile!
My name is Grace. I am a native French Tutor with 3 years of experience teaching the French language. I have a Master's degree in French-speaking system management. So it was during my studies that I started giving private lessons in primary schools and following these I decided to help anyone who wishes to learn to speak French and the enthusiasm of work allowed me to do my job. Also, I am of Cameroonian nationality, bilingual, I express myself and speak French perfectly but also I have a good foundation in English. Today I give lessons to several students and adults of all levels (middle school, high school, beginner, intermediate and advanced). I work for all types of needs and objectives, no matter how vast and different they may be! I offer to be your French teacher so that you can speak and write French correctly. We can talk together about travel, cooking, reading, sports, current affairs, or whatever interests you.
I have been teaching the French language to different people for 3 years and I am passionate about adapted pedagogy where each learner goes at their own pace and method. My working method will adapt to the student because everyone is unique and learns in a different way. The most important thing is to progress according to your goals. Our first lesson will be used in particular to get to know each other and to determine together what are the things you like and those you like less.
As a learning support, we will use books, texts, videos and songs to help you improve your level in French and be able to speak and write French correctly according to your objectives.
I will speak to you as much as possible in French, to immerse you in the language and I can also explain terms that you do not understand in French, in English if you need it. I will put you in confidence because I am a welcoming and patient person so that your objectives are achieved in all benevolence. Come and test, you will necessarily find your happiness there and write me in message if you have any questions.

I am a native Spanish speaker and a general language enthusiast. In addition to Spanish, I speak German and English. I am 100% confident that I will successfully teach you Spanish (while having fun and relaxing)!

I've been teaching spanish for 15 years. I am 41 years old, graduated with honors from the University of Salamanca. My main goal in teaching is to make students feel relaxed and comfortable while studying.

Do you already know Spanish? No problem! Rather than building the basics, we can design courses to suit your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can give presentations on topics that interest you or that I present to you, we can discuss current events, engage in debates, you can write summaries of newspaper articles, or we can delve into advanced grammar. Whatever you enjoy and need, we can do it together.

All my courses combine speaking, listening and grammar practice in interaction with me. Unless you are a very advanced student, we work with learning materials created by some of the best language learning publishers in Germany. These materials serve as a common thread for our course, introducing new words, grammar and exercises at a good pace and in an interesting way, keeping you engaged and motivated. I also show you German food, music and places. In addition, I will introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level.

Another important factor for me is the personal connection. We usually start our lessons with how the weekend or previous weekdays were like.

Contact me now to arrange a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn more about you, your needs and desires and thus design the optimal course for you.
