Effective teaching method to learn French

At French with Agnes, our effective teaching method to learn French is tailored to each person. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced speaker, you will feel productive and happy about your progress. We always make sure we capture your attention by making every lesson unforgettable and exciting! We engage with you creatively and explore new concepts.

French classes for beginners follow a progressive curriculum :

• introducing new grammar topics at a practical pace
• infusing the lessons with useful vocabulary
• adding fun activities and role-plays to practice

Lessons in French for more advanced students incorporate :

• conversation classes where we watch or listen to various materials to focus on oral skills
• corporate courses with vocabulary related to your activity
• preparation for a French interview, exam or business presentation

First, my French teaching method encourages you to interact and speak with me and/or other students alike in French. You have the opportunity to use the language in a variety of contexts. I use techniques which ensures that you learn the language by exploring French culture, current affairs, gastronomy, sports, dance, art, and business.

Next, do you study French for work or for pleasure ? Would you like to better communicate with your manager or just when ordering in a restaurant? Do you dream about relocating to France or are you visiting a French-speaking country only for week or two ? Depending on your answers, the structure of our French classes won’t be the same. Understanding your objectives is crucial for successful French lessons.

Also know that grammar isn’t always the only key when learning a new language. Lessons focusing on communication and practical uses of a language are more effective than grammar and repetition. At its core, learning French is about verbal communication. Therefore, using task-based learning to help students communicate with one another is a great technique for teaching French.

Last but not least, keeping the lessons relevant is important. I use vocabulary that you can realistically use in normal conversations and at work. By keeping the curriculum up-to-date, you are more likely to be interested. In addition, you will be getting more useful information and will stay engaged. I focus time and energy on the lessons that really matter to you.

French with Agnes allows prospective students to try a first class (at the normal price) before committing to regular sessions. You can sample my teaching style and materials. During online French classes, I will also take notes from you so that you focus on your learning process.

And if you want to join, we can have your level assessed before deciding. The majority of the students who attend a trial class end up staying with me for more classes !

I design a bespoke program for each new student. We can emphasize on conversation for real-life situations, vocabulary or points of grammar, depending on your needs.

These stimulating and challenging resources are included in the price of your program. Homework can also be provided to practice between two sessions. My aim to make you love the French language even more.

You can choose between one-on-one or small group instruction. Limited to 4 people, our group classes are interactive and intimate !

The groups are small enough so that each student gets an optimal amount of individual speaking time. I make sure everyone get personal attention. And small groups also allow fun games and engaging activities.
