What do lessons look like? We glorify your strengths to improve your confidence, take note of your weaknesses, help you improve by drowning information in activities that you will enjoy: maybe translating a song, reading the first chapter of a book you love, or turning a vocabulary check into a timed challenge.
Things start making sense when you memorise rules and examples. Learning a different language, especially when it comes from a different family is an adventure and the past few years have made it clear I am a good companion.
If you’ve been meaning to become a bilingual monarch, please answer these questions in an email. My students have all ages, nationalities, backgrounds, and goals, and above all are motivated. We will be comparing schedules, deciding on a day and time for our first session (a dynamic quiz) and figuring out details.
Full name, address (street, zip code, city, country - for billing purposes), email, age, time zone; current level(s) (A1-C2), reasons for learning/goals, desired schedule (ex: weekly 90 mn, bimonthly 2h).
Known weaknesses or issues (anything I should know: learning disability, unstable schedule); availability (Thu-Sunday, 9-7 Paris time; UTC+2/+1). I can open my calendar for a special request (such as test prep).
Hobbies, passions, favourite movies/shows/books, anything that would make the lessons more enjoyable; preferred rates: €25 for the students and unemployed or €40 per hour (open for discussion if your currency doesn't allow it).
A few notes
Payment is to be made monthly before the 10th if possible (with your name attached). Most international students use Wise to avoid fees!
We will be working on Signal (for the microphone - no cameras) and a Google doc. You will screenshare so I can follow along. Once we make our first appointment, I’ll email you my Signal username, your Google Doc link and my bank info and you will have to add me and make contact before the session!
Show up on time. If you don’t, I’ll make you sing, gasp indeed! If you ever need to cancel or reschedule, please message me at least one day prior as I have a 24-hour cancellation policy - if you do cancel on the D day, unless there is a problem, you will have to pay for the lesson, and add a 50% fine after two times.
If you have any questions or requests, please add them to your email and I will be happy to clear things up and see if I can help.
Bisous!
