My name is Sylvie and I'm a native speaker who has a higher degree of education in teaching the French Language. I also speak English and German. I am patient, a good listener and work hard at personalising my lessons plans to the student’s objectives and pace of learning. I have a kind personality, sense of humour, and flexibility to create a true positive learning environment for students.
I've been giving French lessons for 18 years to professionals, students, expats or simply Francophiles from a variety of backgrounds and French levels. I have developed the ability to speak very simply, so I'm able to entice even beginners into having conversations in French. I also teach French pronunciation, and engage students in fun and useful conversation from day one, with the goal of rapidly developing confidence when speaking. |
French Conversation
Experience comfortable and motivating one-on-one Conversational French lessons from your home or office. During the conversational session, I will gently correct you as you speak, type any new vocabulary and phrases on the Skype chat board. Furthermore, I will motivate you to express your opinions and thoughts. We will also be working on pronunciation. I will encourage you so that you can express yourself in French with more fluidity. After each session, I will send the Skype chat board notes of the conversation to you via email.
Regular/intensive French Course
The regular course is designed for people of all skill levels. The first step to learning is to evaluate your current level of French speaking skills. We’ll define your learning goals based on your French speaking skill level. As you progress, new grammar points will be introduced to further improve your French skills.
At the end of your lesson, I will email you the class notes and assign homework. I can also correct your homework. The homework will help you perfect what you learned during your lesson and acquire new vocabulary and idiomatic expressions.

During your free 30 minute session I will evaluate your skill level and create a custom learning plan that fits your ability, budget and schedule.
How Does it Work?
To take Live French Lessons you’ll need a free Skype, Google, or Zoom account. We set up one or several weekly lessons, and I call you each week at the agreed day and time. If you cannot commit to a regular weekly time, we can decide together on the next date and time at the end of each lesson.
During your personalized 30 or 45 minute French lesson via Skype, we will work on grammar, pronunciation, verbs conjugation, tenses, vocabulary, conversation, depending on you abilities, personal needs and desires. During the time of the lesson, I will use the Skype chat board to write new words, phrases... At the end of your lesson, I will email you the class notes and assign homework. |

Testimonials
French lessons with Sylvie are a great pleasure. She is able to grasp and understand your skill level and then makes adjustments to her lesson plan and pace. She is thorough and detailed, balanced with a friendly demeanor that you often don't even realize that you are also learning and taking a lesson. Her combination of strong technical language skills and knowledge of commonly used words and phrases have really advanced my level of French. I found Sylvie via a recommendation from a friend and I too recommend Sylvie to anyone looking to learn or improve their French in a fun and flexible way. (Deric, American in Paris via New York and Los Angeles)
French lessons with Sylvie are wonderful! Every lesson is different to keep things interesting. My lessons have included workbooks, worksheets, articles and a lot of conversation. If I am having trouble understanding a concept or a point of grammar, Sylvie will often send additional information to help me. My French skills have improved greatly since I started working with Sylvie. (Gayenel R., Minnesota)
"I felt very relaxed and really enjoyed my class with Sylvie. She was very attentive to how and what it was that I wanted to learn. It was so very clever being able to have my class from home in the UK and use the screen between us to write on while we chatted. Brilliant!" (Nicola P., Brighton)
