Un bon leçon. On a parlé de la cinéma, j'ai raconté des blagues nulles, et j'ai continué d'apprendre! Merci Leslie.

On a parlé de bricolage, des vacances. J'ai appris de nouveau vocabulaire, et je me suis rendu compte qu'il vaut mieux de ne pas faire des leçons de de langues différentes le même jour!
Leslie is a great teacher and makes learning fun. I am happy to keep learning French at a higher level, and am grateful for her suggestions and learning resources.
I am living in the South of France, Montpellier, after several years abroad.
This is my hometown, so I am happy to be back here, where I am surrounded by my friends and family. This place is perfect, because it is sunny and I love doing outdoors activities such as hiking or going to the beach. I love eating and cooking as well.
I love reading or listening French music that I can share with my students.
Qualifications & Experience
I have a Master Degree in teaching French to Foreigners.
I have been teaching for 15 years now, in a lot of different schools and university in France and overseas. I have worked in famous schools such as Alliance Française and also, in small schools. I also have helped launched a new school, in which I brought all my experience and learned new skills, as a headmaster.
I teach French to people who wants to travel and be able to speak, order food or ask questions. I also teach french to teenagers to help them for their exams.
I am able to help you get DELF-DALF or any French exams or from another country (I helped teenagers with HSC or IB for example) I also can teach to professionals.
If you have a specific goal, we'll reach it together!
Teaching Approach
I will always define your needs first and then, a lessons plan.
I think the most important thing in a lesson is that you speak a lot. So I will use material based on oral exercises. Each lesson will contain the 4 skills: reading, speaking, listening, writing. I personally prefer that you write at home, so you can take the most of having a teacher in front of you. I will correct your pronunciation because it is important for you to be understood. I will give you material so you can practice at home on your own, and it will be up to you if you want to do the homework, but I will strongly recommend that you do them.
I am very flexible and if you want to speak about something or learn something that was not planned for the lesson, I can always adjust my lessons plan.
I also think that the lessons have to be a pleasure so learning will become easier each class.
