About Me
italki teacher since Mar 31, 2020InterestsSports & FitnessTravelMedical & Healthcare
I am a native French speaker from the French Riviera, after I graduated, I moved to Paris where I lived for 10 years. I worked in luxury-retail management for over 12 years, as well as six years as a Chief stewardess on Super yachts. For the last four years I've been based in South Africa, where I teach Yoga and French. I have graduated from the Alliance Française of Paris, and I am also a qualified examiner for all levels of the DELF and DELF exams. I work for the Alliance Française in Stellenbosch. Since I started to work on italki I have been giving over 1670 lessons to students with different levels but also from various background and I haven't stop enjoying what I do.Me as a Teacher
I love the multicultural second language environment where I engage with people from different ages and cultures on a daily basis. Over the past two year I have acquired an incredible knowledge in teaching, experiencing various techniques. Teaching has become a true passion.
I am a very dynamic and enthusiastic teacher and take real pride in sharing my culture and language.
I speak three different languages and through travels and work I have been exposed to many different cultures. I believe this gives me a good understanding of the difficulties new learners may have to understand the tricks of the French language, I will be helping you mastering them all.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons will be custom made according to your profile, needs and goals. They will be designed to make the different aspects smooth and clear to understand. Simulating real life situation to get your speech up and running. I use a lots of different materials, such as magazines, newspapers, video clips as well as language books adapted to your level. I put an emphasis on conversational, as i believe that this is the main purpose of learning a language. We will also work on the language grammar and phonetic aspect . The lessons will be very dynamic and interactive to keep you stimulated throughout the hour. I use Zoom, Skype, Facetime and WhatsApp.My teaching material

I had a great first lesson and will surely be continuing. Mandana was very attentive and able to asses my level very quickly to know what course to take and to improve. She also took notes on skype during our conversation so that I can look over them later and even made a recording of the class which is fantastic as it shows active participation on her side. She is also very pleasant to talk to. Thank you

It's like I finally found my perfect french teacher. She performs very well as a teacher and speaks the two other languages I do—and she's quite a lovely character.
