Born and raised in Paris , France to a french mother and an american father. Teaching french is a true passion and joy. My classes are fun and if you want to work with a real teacher who can design a class just for you, I am the teacher you are looking for! Whatever your goals are with French, I can help you get there! Get in touch any time to tell me about your goals. Wether you , your spouse or kids would like to learn french, I adapt my classes to everyone's needs and goals. -"HELP , I'm going to France soon , I need some basic things to say" No problem ! -"I would like to be able to read books in french and have a conversation." Sure thing ! -"Can I be fluent in less than a year?" Yes you can if you're ready to work hard and have fun ! Whatever your reason is : you found the right person ! :) I can help you with : • Pronunciation ( so that nobody will answer you in English ) • What to know if you go to France soon ( so that you can know a little bit before you go ) • Basic to advanced conversation ( so you can make french friends and understand what they say ) • Train your ear ( so you don’t answer like a robot and recognize what people are talking about without thinking too much ) • Grammar / Vocabulary / Verbs AND I can also train you to get the DELF*** Certifications ( my student Sam who took the first test last month got approved with an amazing score of 89.50/100 ! ) ***The DELF is a diploma awarded by the French Ministry of Education to prove the French-language skills of non-French candidates. There are six independent diplomas, which correspond, respectively, to the six levels of the Council of Europe' s Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFRL). I’ll also teach you about french culture in general ( why french people behave a certain way , how we were raised , our values , why our humor is different , where to go in France, where to eat in Paris , understand the country ( France ) and the city of Paris , basically anything you want to know depending on what you want ! ) BUT DON'T WORRY , IT WILL BE FUN ! After the first lesson , ALL my students realize that learning french isn't scary anymore. So : qui veut apprendre le français ?* (*who wants to learn french?) I can train any level , any age , I just need you to want to speak french and to be ready to have fun doing it ! FAQ: - Do you have a specific method ? **I work with books that are certified by the french alliance. - How may hours do I need per week ? ** Depending on how fast you want to learn I recommend to start with twice 1 hour per week for a month to see if you like it and if you are motivated I think 4 hours per week ( 2 hours twice a week ) are ideal. - Will I have homework ? ** Yes or No , your homework will depend on your motivation and your free time between the lessons. I never give too much and it's always related to what we are working on. For example , the first lesson is the french alphabet , your homework will be to learn how to spell your name in french. - What do you give your students to help them become fluent in 1 year? ** If you want to commit to 1 year of intensive french , I will give you movies to watch in french, radio shows to listen to , songs to learn , poems to learn , books to read ( adapting to your level ) , I'll introduce you to real french people and I will only speak to you in french during the lesson ( of course if you don't understand I will translate , but the goal is to be lost without help, that's how I learned "real" english in 1 year in Philadelphia.)
