About Me
As a French native teacher with over 18 years of experience and over 7,000 lessons on Verbling, I have had the great opportunity to teach students of all levels and backgrounds in various countries around the world. Having lived and traveled extensively in Europe, North Africa and the Americas, I have gained a unique perspective on different cultures and languages. The students I have had the pleasure of teaching have greatly impacted my life in shaping my perspective and growth.
Throughout my years of teaching, I have been fortunate to gain invaluable insights about the world that extend beyond what can be found in books. I have come to understand that learning a language encompasses more than mere theory and practice; it is deeply rooted in trust, emotions, motivation, and human values.
My students often describe me as patient, well-organized, and professional. I take great pride in creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment where they can thrive. I provide comprehensive guidance, constructive feedback, and personalized attention to help them achieve their language goals.
I hold a deep sense of satisfaction in developing my own comprehensive courses, tailored to meet the unique needs and preferences of each student. By employing a variety of teaching methods and approaches, I ensure that my lessons are engaging, effective, and enjoyable for every learner. Whether you prefer a structured or more flexible learning style, I am committed to adapting my approach to suit your specific requirements.
With a dedicated focus on providing learners with a robust foundation in a new language, I have meticulously crafted comprehensive lessons tailored for various proficiency levels. For beginners starting at A1 level, I have curated an extensive course comprising 20 lessons, ensuring a thorough grasp of basic communicative structures. The progression continues with 20 lessons for A2 level, and extends further to 25 lessons for those at B1 level, and so forth. Each lesson is thoughtfully crafted to guide learners from their initial stages as great beginners to achieving advanced proficiency with ease. I also specialize in preparing students for official French language tests such as the TEF, TCF, DELF-DALF and DELF junior (Training: full preparation and all materials provided for DELF-DALF exams, especially for the DELF B1 and B2, and the DALF C1 and C2 exams.), and FIDE test, particularly for diplomats serving in Geneva, Switzerland, to facilitate the acquisition of residence or establishment permits and naturalization. With my guidance, you can confidently take these exams and achieve the language proficiency you desire.
Beyond test preparation, I offer specific courses in French, covering diverse subjects such as philosophy (25 French thinkers from Montaigne to Bourdieu), art history (description, French impressionists, abstract art, etc.), literature (150 themes/extracts), French cinema (classics, themes, la Nouvelle Vague, how to write a critique, etc.), and legal French. Delving into the realms of French philosophers, introducing art history and iconography, and exploring the rich world of French literature, my courses provide a nuanced and in-depth experience for advanced students. Moreover, I have developed a diverse range of around 150 topic-based lists, spanning from agriculture to zoology, to aid students at B1, B2, and advanced levels. These lists are designed to enhance oral expression, comprehension, and vocabulary through structured conversational practice. Finally, designed for B2 level French speakers and beyond, I've recently developed a new introductory mini-course tailored specifically to enhance your understanding of French viticulture and impress your colleagues or friends with your knowledge of French wines!
My deep understanding of the French language encompasses not only its grammar but also the intricacies of its etymology and nuances. I believe that language learning is not solely about vocabulary and grammar rules but also about immersing oneself in the culture and history behind the language. Under my guidance, you will not only develop a strong grasp of the mechanics of the French language but also cultivate a deep appreciation for its rich cultural heritage.

My trial lessons
During the trial lesson, you will share your interests and goals in learning French. I'll then explain my teaching methods. Our first lesson will be tailored to your current level of French proficiency. I'll conduct an oral assessment to evaluate your speaking and listening skills. At the end of the trial lesson, I'll answer any questions you have. Based on the results and your language needs, I'll create a personalized study plan to help you achieve your goals.
