My Method

 

My personal conviction is that learning a language or anything else must remain a pleasure and should never become some sort of torture, otherwise people are not motivated anymore, they cannot progress and don't feel like continuing.

For this reason, I try to make each lesson an enjoyable moment. We work seriously but in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Whatever your level is, I will offer you individualized courses adapted to your objectives, whether you decide to take an extensive or intensive course to :

  • Brush up your French
  • Correct individual mistakes of pronunciation and intonation
  • Learn quickly the basic language for everyday life situations
  • Improve conversational fluency
  • Discover easy techniques to approach or improve grammar & spelling
  • Have a private tutor before joining a language school or as a supplement to the course you are already taking at a language school
  • Prepare a special event : job interview, meeting, speech, etc.

 

As I am specialized in Phonetics and conversational fluency, my courses focus on developing listening, speaking, and reading skills with an emphasis on pronunciation. A small evaluation test will determine your needs before we start working together. Handouts, newspaper articles, commercial and administrative documents as well as songs may be used to supplement workbooks.

 

My method is based on bilingual teaching. So except for very advanced levels, English (or another language) will be used as a vehicle for all technical explanations and translations. That way we go much faster and things are more clear for you.

 

Phonetics has an utmost importance in the learning of French. You may have the best grammatical structure and the most sophisticated vocabulary, but if you don't pronounce proprerly nobody will understand you.

 

The phonetic method I use is an easy, original, comprehensive and progressive method that I have developed. It is based on syllabic reading exercices and metaphors. You will learn how to recognize and reproduce properly French sounds, as well as the rules peculiar to French Phonetics.

 

Each lesson is recorded on a personalized audio file, reproducing phonetic exercices or some sentences or new expressions met during our lesson, to help you review and work properly with the correct sounds when you study at home.

 

I am known to be very patient and very clear in my explanations, which help my students feel immediately at ease and more confident.

 

If you are seeking quality teaching aimed at developing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills you will not be desappointed with me!
