Mastery of the French language: grammar, linguistics, spelling

From 57 C$ /h

Specializing in translation and teaching French (abroad), I offer general academic support for homework and reviewing concepts of French linguistics, grammar and spelling.
My course is aimed at lower/upper secondary school students and higher education and university students; I have experience in preparing for the central jury, university entrance exams and students studying linguistics, translation and speech therapy.

I will adapt my way of working and my teaching methods according to my student and what he wants to improve: oral or written expression, reading and analysis of books (themes, characters), writing summaries of texts or arguments on subjects often given in the Central Jury exams or university admission exams.
I have experience working with teenagers and young adults, and my teaching also includes coaching. I am willing to travel to my student's home, and they are also welcome to visit me at my home (Uccle).

Extra information

I adapt my course according to the specific needs of my student.
I am also a coach and make it a point of honor to apply work discipline and to make myself very available for my students.

About Me

Since I was very young, I have been teaching and I love teaching. I like the contact with my students, I have patience and I like to pass on my knowledge.
I am mainly specialized in teaching French and English but I am also willing to offer general academic support for regular homework or preparation for a specific exam.
I will adapt my way of working and my teaching methods according to my student and what he wants to improve. However, language learning necessarily involves grammar, reading and conversation.
I have experience with children, adolescents and young adults. I am ready to travel to my student's home but I can also adapt my video course given the current circumstances.

FLE teacher graduated from the Alliance française Bruxelles-Europe. I taught in Laos (1 year in a local school) in Peru (1 year in a college and in a French alliance), in Moscow (2 years in a private language school), in Brussels (6 month in an association that delivers courses to newcomers and the F9 for private and group lessons at the ULB).
The type of teaching that I favor is based on active pedagogy, constant interaction of the learner with his teacher and his environment, a cultural exchange and a clear and precise understanding of the objectives to be achieved.
To apply this practice I use a lot: authentic documents (radio and TV programs, articles, reports, songs, testimonials, ...), the role play (theatrical exercises), games are a founding element of my teaching (playful and recreational approach of the language), the debates (the experience and the personal history being the raw material to animate them), reading (books and comics: phonetics), the grammatical exercises in adequacy with the theme ( didactics of FLE and grammatical methodology)

I consider Languages as the window from which you can start by understanding a culture ; It says a lot about how its people think . Because every language have its own logic and thats the hardest part to learning a new language , i'll guide you through the way .
I am passionate about languages and when we love something we do it very well !
i am a very patient teacher , fun will be part of the course and you will be surprised by how fast you will learn
I am fluent in Arabic French and English

I did tutoring for three years. After a long break in order to finish my studies as a specialized educator, I decided to resume.

I can help primary school students in all subjects as well as secondary school students (but only for literary/language subjects).

I studied at a translation school in English and Spanish as well as at a special education school. I lived in England for a year and my father is Chilean, so I speak Spanish perfectly.

I also have the First Certificate of English diploma.

I adapt my working methods according to the students and their needs. I find it essential to create the course with the student, so that my teaching is best suited to the person in front of me.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information and/or a meeting!

I'm a 33 years old french teacher and I've been living here in Brussels for 11 years, 8 of them as a french teacher. Before that I studied political sciences and had a couple of experiences in public communication.
As a teacher, I gave classes in languages centers (such as Berlitz or Semantics), so I worked and continue working in different environments like lawyer cabinets, hospitals, companies or NGO based in Brussels or with people learing french through unemployment programs). But I also give private lessons, like the one we might do together. This brought me to work with different linguistic, cultural and professionnal backgrounds as well as with very different age classes (from 5 to 65).
My class is essentially based on improving communication skills, that is to say that I give an advantage to the practice of verbal expression, through simulations (of professional situations, like doing a public presentation or conducting a meeting,...) and conversation (around documents and medias like articles, audiovisual items,...).
Nevertheless, when learning or doing the revision of grammar points is needed, I organize grammar items to work on too (the use of the subjonctif, la concordance des temps, how to express hypothesis,...). For that, I use primarly the book Grammaire Progressive du Français but can also use different material (I worked with some product of the editions Alter Ego more centered on workplace oriented needs for example).
So my methode is "taylor-made" as I adapt the content around the needs of each students in term of their communication objectives.
Don't hesitate to ask me if I forgot to mention anything in this quick profile!

Learn and improve the French language through an interactive learning method. Learn to think, speak and write in a clear and structured way. I also offer courses in philosophy and human sciences, which aim to make major currents of thought accessible to young people and to prepare them for assessments in the French language (writing, dissertation, etc.).

I can offer conversation classes at very different levels, from informal discussions with idiomatic expressions to business negotiation dialogues.

As for the pronunciation of French, it is a real challenge because written French is often very different from its articulation.

The verbo-tonal method that I use, and which is often used by speech therapists, is particularly suitable for correcting French pronunciation for those of you who are not native French speakers, but also for native French speakers who wish to get rid of an accent.

We will work on the sounds of the language integrated into the sentence, the rhythm, the intonation and considered as a living and evolving system.

This method is very effective. You will see your progress very quickly and your self-confidence will allow you to overcome any reluctance you may have had before to express yourself in public. For others, having a more neutral pronunciation in French can be a significant asset professionally.

Hello to all of you!
I welcome you to my profile.
You would like to learn French and I would also like to teach you French.
Fortunately, French is my native language. I live in Brussels where I have taught many French courses to French speakers and also to non-French speakers in the framework of FLE (French as a Foreign Language), mostly face-to-face and also some distance learning. I want to expand the use of distance learning.
Hence my presence on this site.
My greatest wish is to help you make as much progress as possible in French.
To this end, I use a judicious combination of oral and written exchanges.
I use these conversations to introduce grammatical concepts and expand your vocabulary. All this in a fun and friendly atmosphere!
You will have to express yourself a lot in French, because my level of Dutch is average. In fact, I speak it at a "normal" pace, but with a more limited vocabulary and expressions than yours.
This may seem a little frustrating at first, but it is a real benefit to you as it forces you to express yourself in French as much as possible!
It's all in your favor!
Please contact me as soon as possible so that we can start a fruitful cooperation.

Spelling problems? Poor language skills? Does studying the rules seem tedious or even boring to you? That's understandable, but this might change your mind. Retired translator/journalist, I help you in the systematic study of grammar, with exercises, explanations and homework. Oral and written communication based on practice and exercises.
Follow-up of tutoring provided and detailed review of unmastered material.
Correction of pronunciation if necessary.
Classes can be given in English or Italian if necessary.
No very young children.

Bonjour!

My name is Anastasia, I am a 24 years old French native and I am here to help you improve your French skills. I have been teaching students of various levels from all around the world for over 5 years. I have helped students prepare for French exams like the DELF, as well as those who are planning to move to a French-speaking country and need real-life language skills.

I understand the challenges of learning a language, having learned two languages myself: English and Portuguese, and plan to learn more. I have faced difficulties, hit walls, and overcome them, and I believe that my experience as a language learner makes me a well-rounded teacher. However, I do not claim to know everything about teaching, as I am constantly learning.

I tailor my teaching method to best suit the needs of my students. I use interactive resources such as images, videos, and texts to help my students learn effectively.

For beginners, I recommend trying out the Pimsleur method, which is a 30-minute audio lesson based on gradual interval recall. This method reviews learned vocabulary at increasingly longer intervals and has been used by the CIA. If you are interested, we can discuss how to use this method together.

I offer French lessons remotely through Skype, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams or at the students place. When the lesson is online, I use a platform that allows us to see and modify documents, images, and videos in real-time, which is very useful.

I would be happy to help you on your French learning journey.

Studying a language is not just about memorizing lists of verbs, it is above all about being able to express oneself with confidence.
My approach is simple: clarity and practical application are my priorities. Whether it's for French (FLE), Spanish, or Italian, we'll work on what truly matters to you.
Zero blockage: We practice speaking from the beginning so that speaking becomes natural.
Current content: We use a variety of media (videos, articles, podcasts) to understand the language as it is spoken today.
School effectiveness: For students, we go straight to the essential points to unlock understanding.

My approach for our first meeting:
The first session is dedicated to your goals and interests. I like to build my lessons around your passions: this allows us to work on specific vocabulary and conversation topics that truly motivate you. A lesson tailored to you is a lesson where progress is faster.

When do we start?
