/!\ Please introduce yourself and what you would like to study when booking a lesson for the first time /!\ My name is Claire, I'm 29 years old. I am a native French speaker, graduated with a Master's degree in teaching French as a foreign language. I love learning languages so I know how hard it is. Beside that, I like traveling, watching anime, reading, drawing... I am sure we'll have something in common to talk about :)

Me as a Teacher

As a teacher, I try to have as kind of an attitude as possible to make you feel comfortable. I believe there is no shame in making mistakes, searching for words, or forgetting something that we have learned. Honesty regarding your goals is one of the key to success without frustration, because learning and speaking a new language takes time.

My lessons & teaching style

The content of the lesson can be very flexible depending on your needs : having a conversation, studying specific grammar/vocabulary, reading the news, discovering French culture, preparing an exam. Regardless of the content, the role of the student is active in their learning. For children : I provide lessons for children from 6 years old. I use various materials to make the learning experience as fun and interactive as possible. First time learners will have a slow and progressive introduction to French, mainly by exposing them to the language through songs, books, games and videos. Kids lessons are not as formal as for adults to make the learning process closer to native speakers.

Teacher’s pick

I’ve been taking lessons from Claire now for about two months. I’ve been skeptical about online learning in the past, but I’ve really been impressed. Claire isn’t simply a tutor, but is a professional educator, highly skilled in her craft. She uses a variety of methods to help me learn throughout our lessons. In addition to the lessons themselves, she has power points that she shares with you and continues to update her material and make new ones. I feel my online learning with Claire is much more effective than my face to face french lessons in years past. Claire is truly the lodestar of French instructors.

Claire is an excellent teacher. My eight year old has been resisting learning french despite us living in France. Claire has somehow found a way that has not just encouraged my daughter to use french in every day life but has her enthusiastic and excited about each lesson. I highly recommend Claire.

Learning French with Claire has been a wonderful experience. She is clear, patient, and always organized. I have learned so much (and have seen much improvement in my elementary French skills, overall) since I started taking lessons with her last fall. I highly recommend Claire as a French tutor.
