Bonjour Bonjour;

You're maybe planning to travel to France for Business or for vacations...Or you just want to learn French for Academic or professional reasons!

My name is Hicham (Here the French spelling of my first name make it sound "HiTChem" in English speaking countries - which i find awful to hear :) so the exact spelling to pronounce it right should be Heesham). And this is the perfect example that Pronounciation is one of the most important matter in French learning; not only for you to be able to understand French words and learn them, but also and mostly to be able to be understood when you speak them. Just like it's hard to understand a new english speaker with a strong foreign accent

Imagine: "Un ver vert va vers un verre vert". Which means that a green worm is going towards a green glass. This doesn't make any sense but it illustrates what we call Homonymes. The word homonyme comes from Latin, more specifically as "Homos" (similar) and "onoma" (name). And it get more complicated when Homophones have the same pronounciation but not the same meaning nor the same spelling. Or worst; "Homographes" which are written the same spelling but complete different meaning and pronounciation. And finally the most tricky ones are the perfect Homonymes like:" un TOUR de magie" and la TOUR d'un chateau. (Magic trick and Castle Tower)...

But don't worry - You don't need to understand what the Oceans are made of to be able to swim.

And this is here I come. I am born in France (born in 1978 in Orleans) - studied in France, Teach French in Morocco, UK, Spain and Italy for Communication Business purposes. I used to teach Sales in French to Non-native French speaker Callcenter Agents in the Philippines lately. Been teaching in English. Yes I have been learning and practicing English since 2012 and I am now perfectly fluent with an accent which is not French :) Yay :) And my role as your French teacher will be to give you the perfect coaching to make you improve your French skills just like I did in French and other languages.

Yes, I am the perfect example that anyone can learn a new language and become like a native one. I'm proud when I meet french people speaking english together when they cannot notice my accent and don't know I'm from France until I tell them.

Of course, I will provide you all the Grammar, Conjugaison, Orthographe and all the basics modules from the French Academy you need to practice and have a proper French conversation. But not only, I garantee you that you will be able to sing in French.(it will develop your French ear and your pronounciation)

My classes are customized for one to one classes or small group of people who want to have a real follow up on your learning evolution. From beginner to advance. It will include private sessions, customized exercises, funny home work... one to one conversations, French songs :) Yes I will sing too.

I will give you all the tools and tricks that I used myself to reach my English level. So together, we will make sure to find the right path for you to learn and practice French with a purpose.

Contact me if you have questions (the pricing offer is per student for maximum group of 10 people). One to one French coaching can be organized as well;

Feel free to contact me

Hello,

My name is Santiago and I am native Spanish speaker from Uruguay. I am offering individual and personalized virtual Spanish classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the Spanish language either to prepare international exams, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.

In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the Spanish language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,

I aim to bring an interactive, creative, and imaginative environment for children and adult students to ensure that their interest in the language grows. My one to one classes are tailored for each individual student with regard to their personality. This helps them to be more interested in the teaching material and the class in general. . After my classes, my students have gained much confidence in expressing themselves in English, whether it comes to their writing or oral abilities. I have experience with preparing lesson plans, class tests (spelling tests, quizzes etc.) as well as providing feedback to the parents. I also have plenty of personal experience with public speaking which enables me to help my students better with being able to speak with more confidence

Hi my name is Yas and I am an highly experienced teacher in English and Business. I can teach GCSE, IGCSE and A Levels in Business. I am available online only and can tailor sessions to meet your individual needs whether that be preparation for a test or if you want to focus on acquiring a skill over a certain period of time.

English is a language which is spoken all across the world, whether you are a student who wants to move abroad for studying or want to learn a new language I am available to help. My classes can range from basic spoken English to more complex sessions focusing on different student needs. I can provide workshops focusing on Business skills and language that are more tailored for working individuals or even teams. My Business English classes focus on helping learners incorporate new vocabulary that will enable you to increase your sales or build a better rapport with clients.

I highly enjoy traveling to new places and learning about new cultures. I am intrigued by different foods around the world and I am always trying to cook new dishes in the kitchen. I love going out to the movies although I do like to spend time reading at home too. I love watching football and frequently go swimming.
