I am a native French speaker from Paris (now living in Florida) with a passion for teaching the French language. I teach French online.I have taught over 5000 hours of French. My approach is natural and progressive. My classes are a mix of theory (a little) and practice (a lot). I'll help you master the French pronunciation and elevate your verbal expression to the flowing French speech that people love so much, whether you're a beginner or an advanced student. I will make your experience enjoyable. I love seeing my students make progress. I also constantly look for ways to improve my teaching approach and help my students speed up their fluency. I attend language conferences, follow language specialists, etc. to stay current on the latest proven methods to learn a language. I have been working with beginners to advanced students, from 10-year olds to 76-year olds. I help individuals in their French-learning journey, whatever their needs or motivations. I also help middle-school and high-school students have a better understanding of the French language and get better grades.My classes are a mix of theory and practice with a lot of attention on pronunciation. To be able to replicate the French sounds is crucial. It doesn't need to be perfect but good enough to be understood by French people. The goal is communication!If the student has studied some French already, I check their real level by asking them simple questions so I can see what they understand, how they pronounce the French sounds, and how their grammar is. This allows me to pinpoint their weak points and to address them right away. If the student is a beginner, I train them with the unique French sounds and show them in what words they can find these sounds. I go from the sounds to the words. I choose words that are common and that they will use and I give multiple examples. And I introduce grammar very progressively with a lot of practice.
