Private French Lessons for Beginners with a Native Speaker

From 33 C$ /h

Hi ! My name is Rudy, I'm 21 years old and I'm a native French speaker who's visiting Australia, and Sydney in particular, as part of my graduate studies in solar energy engineering. My current level of English is B2, and I would like to become fluent, which is why I am currently in Australia.

I'm a student at the University of Sydney (UNSW) for 4 months, until September 2024, and I'd like to take advantage of this to come and meet you, whether remotely or in real life, to offer you a complete course, with worksheets and exercises that I've prepared.

Once you've had a lesson with me, you'll have the resources you need to continue learning on your own, and a well-detailed guideline for continuing serenely on your own. You can of course continue to take lessons with me so that I can correct you and continue my course so that you have a follow-up. This course is suitable for children, teenagers or adults. I'll adapt to you and tailor my lessons to your expectations and your level!

Just a small advice, to learn this language, you'll need to practise speaking and listening to it a lot (everydays), because that's obviously the best way to make progress. It's a bit like a baby who hears his parents speak every day and doesn't understand everything, but ends up becoming what we call a native speaker. We will work a lot on these aspects and you will love learning French!

Extra information

Just have something to write on if you want to take notes, and I'll provide you with PDF files to practise on, so don't worry.

About Me

My name is Rudy, I'm 21 and I'm a French engineering student living on an island called Reunion Island. I went to Sydney in Australia for a PhD internship opportunity to discover this field for 4 months, from May to September 2024.

I'm also passionate about playing the piano, as I'm a music school student, as well as sports such as running, hiking and climbing.

I'm very communicative and I decided to come to Australia to improve my English, and I'm very happy to be able to offer my services as a native student to share my culture and allow anyone to learn my native language without difficulty.

Education

I've got my high school diploma, which I then added to with a 2-year diploma to become a higher technician in civil engineering and sustainable construction. I then decided to join an engineering school called ESIROI, in the field of building and energy.

Experience / Qualifications

I've worked in several offices related to the construction sector, and now I'd like to look into solar energy, which is an area I'm passionate about, by doing a work placement related to this field in Sydney.

Hi, I'm Marine and I'm an exchange student from France, I will study for a year at the University of Sydney. I am 20 years old and I used to give French course in France since 2 years. We will work all the aspects of the French language. I want to help you improve your French, prepare exams etc.
I will propose a personalised follow-up to my student, with a regular progress report.

English is my first language and I would love to teach anyone who is wanting to increase their English language skills.
I have graduated with a Bachelors degree in Psychology, which has really helped me further my vocabulary and grammar.
My goal is to help students advance in their english language, both spoken and written abilities.
This is a casual, one on one tutoring.

In any English writing task, structure, information, grammar and punctuation are critically important to get you those great marks. Along with this, proofreading and editing are super important to any writing process. I can help you to develop your writing and editing as well as general English skills.

German is one of the most spoken languages in the world and it is commonly seen as a difficult language. However, when the class is fun and you have the right tactics, learning German goes really smoothly. I can very well adapt to my students and therefore provide the best training for each of them.

Asking about things around you; 4. Daily routines; 5. Family; 6. Likes and dislikes.
