From 123.4 C$ /h
Passionate about teaching French, I have been helping high school students and adults strengthen their language skills for the past five years. I also enjoy working with adult learners who, often driven by a personal or cultural connection to French, wish to maintain regular practice and deepen their knowledge of the language. My teaching method is based on a personalized and interactive approach, aiming to make each lesson both enriching and stimulating. I place great importance on getting to know my students, in order to offer them content adapted to their interests and objectives. My ambition is to combine language learning with the discovery of French-speaking culture, thus creating a framework for authentic and motivating exchange. Lessons generally focus on the analysis of texts, video excerpts, or authentic documents, followed by work on vocabulary and a thematic discussion promoting oral expression. I also listen to specific needs and create tailor-made content, whether it's exam preparation, professional development, or simple moments of exchange in French. I strive to provide a caring and dynamic learning environment, where students feel encouraged to progress, while enjoying discovering the richness of the French language and culture.
Extra information
With a degree in law and political science from the Sorbonne and a master's degree in sustainable transition and international solidarity from the Institut Catholique de Paris, I turned to the transmission of the French language, convinced that learning a language opens doors to intercultural understanding and dialogue. For the past five years, I have lived abroad (Turkey and Italy), two experiences that have reinforced my passion for the dissemination of French and my ability to adapt to diverse cultural environments. My recent position as Pedagogical Coordinator at the Institut Français de Palermo allowed me to deepen my skills in FLE, with a focus on various educational and cultural projects. In addition to teaching FLE, I have supported learners in preparing for the DELF-DALF exams, for all levels, and participated in conversation workshops aimed at promoting oral expression and the discovery of Francophone culture. Passionate about pedagogical innovation, I seek to make my courses dynamic and interactive, while ensuring that the specific needs of learners are met. My past experiences in multicultural contexts, notably working with institutions such as SOS Racisme or organizing literary and educational events, have allowed me to broaden my vision of teaching French beyond simple linguistic mastery, to make it a vector of social connection and openness to the world. I am also certified as a DELF-DALF examiner-corrector (A1-C2), a skill that allows me to support learners in preparing for language certifications, and I am comfortable with digital educational tools and distance learning platforms, which has notably allowed me to design and facilitate online courses effectively.

Education
After an Italian OIB baccalaureate, I continued my studies in political science at the University of Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne. I then specialized in international and societal issues with a Master's degree in Solidarity and Sustainable Transition (Institut Catholique de Paris) and then a Master's degree in Geopolitics of the Mediterranean and the Middle East (iReMMO). I also completed training in Turkish language and civilization at Ankara University. Finally, I consolidated my vocation for teaching French by obtaining the DAEFLE (Alliance Française de Paris).
Experience / Qualifications
I have worked in several educational and cultural contexts in France, Turkey, Italy, and Switzerland. As an educational coordinator at the Institut Français Italia (Palermo), I led educational cooperation projects, developed partnerships, and tripled the number of course enrollments. In Istanbul, as a university guidance consultant, I supported students in their study abroad projects. At the same time, I taught FLE in private and group lessons, before joining the Alliance Française de Zurich and the Tandem IMS school, where I teach from A1 to C2 levels, to both children and professionals. I was also a communications intern at the Institut Français de Turquie and an educational assistant for SOS Racisme in Paris, which gave me solid experience in cultural mediation, organization, and pedagogy.
