Brookline, MA French Lessons

I teach all levels

What most schools skip over is the ability to speak foreign language, an opportunity that often doesn't come until you live in another country. Instead of trying out route conversational patterns, I start with what makes people smile. My goal is to find out my students' interests and talk about them together, developing vocabulary, confidence, and the ability to explain ourselves even when we don't have the exact words. We can also study for exams, read french novels, and learn correct grammar.

I've been teaching French for 2 years and interpreting for a year.My students level ranges between beginner to advanced speaker with different goals to reach.
It's my students goals but I take it personally,my teaching philosophy summarized as follow:
-Usually I start up by evaluating the student level
-Noticing strengths,looking up and defining weaknesses
-Eventually set up a personalized courses,solutions and what should be done to correct and improve the students skills.

*****Before you sign up*****

There are three simple things you need to know about my tutoring program.
1. No matter what your reasons for learning a foreign language are, ultimately it's a part of your SELF DEVELOPMENT. Treat it as such.
2. I don't believe in "good or bad with languages" stereotype. I have taught for many years and learnt that everyone is "language talented" when they actually want to speak a new language. And if you are one of them I garantie that my method will work for you.
3. My program might appear quite different from the ones you have tried or seen before and goes beyond simple grammar and vocabulary presentation. Also prepare to be challenged at every step of the way and the further you will get the more fun and exciting it will be.
