Hello my name is Sheena, I am a French native speaker born in Brussels 32 years ago.

My teaching focuses on speaking French in a natural way, rather than this formal French you learn at school and don't recognize once you are in the real world. Together we will slowly but surely discover French in a new and interactive light, finding out more about culture, current topics, and general topics to express your needs and opinions in a effective way. I will provide and guide you through different tools (audio, books, etc.) to help you progress.

I have been teaching French for various companies as a freelance, as well as in private language schools for 6 years. It means I have seen people from all nationalities, levels, background and age. I have also been teaching online for two years because of the pandemic, and have collected a large amount of material.

Let's start soon!

About Me
Hello everyone,

I have always been passionate about translating and learning languages. It started with lyrics from Britney Spears I wanted to understand, but I wasn't too impressed with what I found out, and later with the Harry Potter series, because I couldn't wait for the French version to come out.
I love the idea of accessing a new world thanks to languages, and French has a lot to offer in that department!

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)

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.

Let's learn French together! I'm here to help you understand this challenging language, explain it to you, and converse with you about whatever topics you're interested in. I adapt to your pace and needs: I speak slowly and clearly so you can understand me, but I can also speak normally to help you practice understanding all French speakers.
I can give you grammar lessons (conjugation, spelling...), vocabulary lists, and audio or video resources.
I can also help you obtain the DELF, as I have already assisted several people in this process.
Finally, I speak English, Italian and Korean fluently, and I have a B1 level in Spanish, Japanese and Chinese, so I can also give you lessons in these languages.
