Hi everyone!
My name is Virginie, I am a native French speaker from Nice, south east of France and I live now in Portland Oregon, USA. I have been an actress and a drama teacher for more than 20 years. Four years ago, I graduated as a French teacher as a foreign language. I love literature and arts in general. I am passionate about nature and travelling. I have been travelling in Europe, Africa, South East Asia and now in the US. I am an extremely curious person and eager to learn from others (especially my students!)
Meeting new people and discovering new cultures has been the best thing in my life so far!
Welcome to my class!
Me as a Teacher
Le plus important est que vous ayez l'envie d'apprendre car l'on ne fait rien sous la contrainte. Il faut aussi que vos objectifs soient clairs et réalisables dès le départ. Rassurez-vous, je suis là pour vous y aider. Une fois les objectifs fixés, nous définirons ensemble le cours le mieux adapté pour vous.
To me, the most important is your desire and motivation to learn because nothing can be achieved under pressure. It is also important to define clear and attainable objectives from day one. Do not worry, I am here to help you to do so. Once the objectives are set, we will define together the best course option for you.My lessons & teaching style
Vous faire parler le plus possible car c'est en se trompant que l'on apprend. J'utiliserai le maximum de supports sur des sujets qui vous intéressent, pour vous mettre à l'aise et vous permettre de vous exprimer. Selon votre niveau et votre objectif, on pourra aussi travailler ensemble la production écrite.
My method: make you speak as much as you can and by making mistakes you will learn. I will use different materials on topics that you are interested in, to make you feel comfortable and express yourself. According to your level and your objective, we will also work together on writing production.My teaching material

I was very nervous going in, but Virginie very quickly put me at ease, was very good about gauging my current level of french by getting me to speak and introduce myself, and then worked together on a plan to get me to the level I want to be. Couldn't ask for anything better!

Virginie is very engaging. She is patient and well prepared. Her explanations are clear and the exercises she uses are helpful. I especially like that she uses multiple types of media, from interviews to articles to workbooks. She makes the classes interesting.

I have now had a number of lessons with Virginie. She is extremely patient. I have highlighted a number of areas where I feel my major weaknesses lie and she is helping me to address these.
