Hello ;)
French native from Paris, passionate (about French and English literature, music, cinema, entrepreneurship, ...), I am currently learning at HARVARD University to lead the teaching/learning industry, with unconventional teaching methods. I have studied a lot in my life and I strongly believe that the best way to learn is to have fun, I strongly believe that the best way to learn is to want to learn.
My teaching methods are based on my practical experiences and I know how to make people flow.
As a long-time learner, I will adapt the sessions and advise you to reach your goals. I offer French courses for both beginners and advanced learners.

COURSE STRUCTURE :

I build my lessons through a communicative approach maximizing the use of the target language.
My lessons are generally task-based and focused on practical functions.
During each lesson we will always work on four different skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing, using various teaching materials reflecting real-life situations.

MY COURSES AIM TO

- Improve your listening and speaking skills
- Explain grammar rules
- Introduce new vocabulary using specific learning methods
- Improve your writing, speaking, and listening skills.

THE LANGUAGE :

I have learned English and Spanish and am currently learning Italian and Russian. So I fully understand what it feels like to learn a new language and the difficulties that can be encountered, especially when that language does not use the same alphabet as your native language.
