MY TEACHING METHODS & LESSON STRUCTURE:

Personalized Approach:
Each lesson is tailored to your specific goals, learning style, and current level. Before we start, I assess your needs through a trial session to create a customized learning plan that works for you.

Lesson Dynamics:
My lessons are interactive and practical. I believe in learning by doing - we focus on real conversations, practical exercises, and situations you'll actually encounter. Lessons are structured but flexible, balancing grammar foundations with conversational practice.

Teaching Methods I Use:
- Communicative approach: Priority on speaking and real-life communication from day one
- Immersive learning: Maximum French during lessons, with clear explanations when needed
- Contextual grammar: Grammar taught through practical examples, not abstract rules
- Multimedia resources: Articles, videos, podcasts, and authentic French materials
- Regular feedback: Corrections in real-time with explanations, plus progress tracking

Typical Lesson Structure (60 minutes):
- 10 min: Warm-up conversation & review of previous lesson
- 20 min: New concept introduction (grammar, vocabulary, or theme)
- 20 min: Practice through exercises, dialogues, or real situations
- 10 min: Recap, homework assignment, and questions

My Teaching Experience:
While my primary background is in finance, my international experience (working in France, USA, Spain, and Canada) has given me deep insight into the challenges non-native speakers face when learning French. I understand the practical needs of professionals and students learning a new language because I've been in multilingual environments myself.

What Makes My Lessons Effective:
- Patient and encouraging: I create a comfortable environment where mistakes are learning opportunities
- Results-oriented: Clear objectives for each lesson with measurable progress
- Flexible scheduling: Understanding of busy professional and student schedules
- Homework & resources: Optional practice materials between sessions for faster progress
- Cultural insights: Learn not just the language, but French culture, etiquette, and nuances

Specializations:
- Business French and professional communication (emails, presentations, meetings)
- Conversational fluency for daily life and travel
- Academic French for university students
- Exam preparation (DELF, DALF)
- French for career advancement

I'm committed to making your French learning journey enjoyable, practical, and successful. Whether you're starting from zero or polishing advanced skills, I'll help you gain confidence and fluency!
