Hi! comment ça va ?
I'm Emile, a native speaker and certified French teacher from Paris. i'm passionate about the world, its various places, habitants and pretty much everything in between so we can surely find common areas of interest :).
I am blessed to have traveled to about 45 countries gaining varied instructional experience along the way.
Me as a Teacher
I think the reason I love teaching is that I genuinely care about your progress as if it was my own learning journey.
Anyone can learn theory and rules on their own but I wish to help you becoming more confident in French, help you identify your areas of improvement and give you the necessary tools so you can thrive at speaking French.
My qualities as a teacher are that I am caring, patient, and that I am not only qualified and passionate about the subject matter that I teach but also about linguistic itself.
My lessons & teaching style
Personalized teaching is the key. I will create unique lessons tailored to suit your personality, interests, objectives and difficulties.
I use real-life contexts that are relevant to you rather than giving you meaningless and endless vocabulary lists or grammar rules.
I aim to make our sessions fun and interactive and to create an environment where you feel confortable to speak and where it is OK, even encouraged to make mistakes :)
Also, I use a professional podcast microphone to ensure perfect audio and a dedicated webcam that streams in 1080p because you pay for a service and deserve quality.

Certificates
D.A.E.F.L.E. - Alliance Française - 2016Certificate of competency to teach French as a foreign language
Certificate verified
DAEFLE - Alliance Française - 2016although the aim of this certificate is not solely to help students prepare for exams, the course includes a complete module on understanding the CEFR levels and the requirements to pass all major FLE tests (DELF, TCF, TEF...). The vast majority of the classes I've given on Italki have been exam preparation ones (students often book other lesson types because they are cheaper and it's hard to tell them not too). I'm happy to gather letters of reference from my students if necessary.

⚡ General French: fun and engaging lessons [A2 => C2]
Emile is a fantastic teacher. He is always prepared and organized. His lessons are interesting and cover a wide range of topics. He also gives you some work to do between lessons so that you can keep the momentum going. I have definitely benefited a lot from the practices with him.

Excellent teacher. He has taught me a lot. He prepares great individualized lessons, and he's very patient. At the same time, he's not afraid to push you a bit to the next level. In addition, he's a fun and charming person. You will look forward to your lessons with him. I highly recommend him.

Emile is a wonderful teacher, he is passionate about the language and sharing his knowledge with his students, he is creative, always have interesting materials and approaches for learning, he is not afraid to challenge your limit a little bit, but always very supportive. He is an intelligent person who is very easy to talk to on any subject, he is curious, always exploring new things and people and places, that I think is one of the most important qualities for being a good teacher.
I have always enjoyed my lessons with him, I have made so much progress on my French in the 7 months that I studied with him, and looking forward to explore more in my French learning.

I have only had three lessons with Emile so far, but from the first lesson I knew he was someone I wanted to stick with (and I had already met with a few other teachers on italki)! I look forward to each of our conversations that are filled with so much depth and history. I really enjoy listening to his perspective on France and all the countries he has lived/visited. He is so organized and gives you something to work on in between lessons which I really appreciate! Best of all, he has a really kind demeanor and I think cares a lot about each of his students. I can't recommend him enough!
