French for Communication , French as a Foreign Language
From 42 C$ /h
This class is for you if you want to make French your second, third or even fourth language. It is tailor-made to your individual needs and goals whether you an absolute beginner, upper intermediate speaker, fluent speaker or your French once fluent have now become rusty. Go polyglot! I will assess your level so that the class content meets you exactly where you are starting or continuing from.
This class uses the communicative language teaching (CLT) method or the communicative approach (CA) which involves lively lessons, interactive, task-based activities to help you learn and speak French. As a (bi)multilingual, you will want to communicate well with native and non-native French speakers. I have designed this course to help you build language competency in reading, writing, listening and speaking. You will experience these skills in each lesson. The course focuses on both oral and written expression, language use and communication. You will be able to express yourself verbally and in writing with utmost confidence. You will gradually work your way to being more spontaneous with the French language.
Did you notice I did not mention Grammar and Vocabulary? Yes, they matter but they are only a tool in language, a part of your journey. Our destination, the goal is to get you speak and express yourself. I do cover them too but my focus is something more important than these two.
Projects, tasks and assignments accompany each lesson and I provide periodic progress reports. There’s a lot we can achieve even outside our lesson times and I don’t mind you contacting me even when we have no arranged lesson; I actually love it! Reach out to me now and let’s schedule our first session.

About Me
Bonjour! Je m'appelle Ama.
Talkative and good listener, lover of both French and Mathematics. Do these two pairs mix at all? Well that's me. No favourite things (food, colour, style); I just admire what's appealing and practical.
If the French language were food, it would probably be my favourite. I am passionate about the French language and I enjoy spending time learning and sharing new things about the language and absorbing myself in it.
I decided at age 12 that I would be a teacher, a dream I live today and I am proud to be called one. Seeing your face as my student beam with a smile, you nod in agreement or understanding, understand and respond to the French language, carry conversations, ace that test or exam, these things make me feel good and fulfilled. Whether you are an introvert or extrovert, bookish or unbookish, reader or watcher, whatever your learning style, what matters for me is that you, my student respond to my teaching stimulus. That feedback helps me a lot. I also love students who ask questions, however and whenever.
I believe in student-centred learning. I am the teacher who listens more and makes my students talk more in the language class. I highly favour student interaction, you need not speak so much anyway; we can do with consistent short answers.
I grew up in a country where English is the official language; I have been learning French as a foreign language for as long as I can remember. I owe my love for the language to my elementary school French teacher and it is my mission to help you fall in love with French (again) too. Learning a language shouldn't be so hard; you have a lot to deal with already. I focus on conversation skills, things that you will never find in a French dictionary or textbook, also the French language, culture, society.
I learned to speak French like a native without ever travelling outside my home country. I can speak five languages very well, three I learned at school, so trust me when I say I can relate with you learning a foreign language. I've walked your shoes before and I can help you with the same strategies I used. I hope I can add more languages to my list, even if not learning them intensively.
I love receiving feedback on my teaching performance, good and bad, from my students. They help me improve and do better as a teacher. Take my hand and let me lead you on your French language journey. I cannot wait to meet you so we get to know each other. Enchantée and I'll see you on the other side!

Education
I graduated with a Bachelor Arts degree in French and Economics from the University of Ghana. I was awarded the French Embassy Prize for the Best Graduating Student for graduating at the top of my cohort/French class.
Experience / Qualifications
Over a two year period, I took courses in Teaching of French as a Foreign Language. My training involved an internship and externship/teaching practicuum. I continue to research into and receive training in this field. My skills include French pedagogy and andragogy, lesson design, lesson preparation, lesson planning, lesson delivery and assessments.
Since 2019, I have been in the online teaching space. I have taught French online to diverse students aged 3 to forty-something year olds. I successfully sustained and retained my students for long periods and improved student retention at the institute. I have also worked as a Tutorial Assistant at the University. I taught using both online and offline methods. My students improved their class performance and French skills and abilities (both oral and written).
