BONJOUR!
I’m Khaoula, I’m a French native speaker from Brussels. I studied translation and interpretation from English-Spanish into French. I obtained a parallel degree in FLE (Teaching French as a foreign language).When I was at university a few classmates and I created an association that organises language classes, private lessons and tutoring for children and adults in Brussels.
This allowed me to have a high proficiency in French and a good knowledge of teaching methodology. I will give useful tips to help you overcome difficulties.
After my studies, I flew to Australia. I had great experience to working as a French assistant in a high school for two years. Then I worked as a French teacher at a primary school in Dakar for a year.
******===*********MY METHODOLOGY***********************
I will adapt lessons to your needs. I mainly focus on SPEAKING and LISTENING. I will be a patient listener and give you plenty of opportunities to practice speaking. My main goal is to ensure you are in contact with daily life situations of communication.
We will focus on the pronounciation, vocabulary, and common expressions.
I will always give you constructive feedback so we can work on eliminating your weaknesses
I will provide all the tools, and I will make sure they are diverse and engaging!
********************HERE ARE GLIMPSES OF MY COURSES*******************
-READING: you read an article about any topic. We work on the pronounciation and vocabulary. We spot the main grammar points and and go through each one together using some exercises and interesting tasks.
- WRITING : you write something about any topic and we correct the writing by highlighting the difficulties and important vocabulary.
-SPEAKING: We will have conversations about any topic of your interest. For instance a travel experience, your pets, a movie...
-LISTENING: you listen to a conversation between a traveller and a hotel receptionist and then we will go through speaking and writing exercices.
I suggest you work by yourself as well because it is a good way to improve. I will give you an assignment to be completed for the next lesson.

I will gladly answer your questions.
