About Me
italki teacher since Apr 2, 2020InterestsTravel
Hi, I'm Sophie! I'm a French teacher from Lyon, in France. I am living in Istanbul, Turkey, where I have been teaching French to University students and adults for 9 years. I hold a master's degrees in teaching French as a Foreign language as well as a Master's degrees in International relations. I was previously working in that field. I love learning new languages and getting to know new countries and cultures. I've learned English, Spanish, German, Italian and Polish in a classic way during my studies and I learned Turkish while living in Turkey, by listening and speaking with people. Now I really want to share with you my passion of languages and help you with French!Me as a Teacher
- I can give classes from beginner to advanced levels. My classes are well planned and structured but I do adapt myself to your goals and needs. I can for instance explain you French grammar and make you practice it in a real context, we can also work on vocabulary or pronunciation. What is really important to me is to enable you to speak or write! I like to start from a text, a newspaper article, a video, a podcast and have a conversation on them. All topics are possible, just let me know.
- I’m a DELF-DALF and TCF examiner so I can help you prepare these exams or other kind of tests/exams.
- I can also help you improve your CV and covering letter or prepare a job interview. My lessons & teaching style
After each session, I’ll give you a feedback on your progression and on your mistakes with corrections.
I value my time as much as yours so I expect you to show up on time and well prepared, with homework done ;-)
Please note that I'm only teaching to adults and individuals.
When you book your first session, please send me a message with following informations:
- since when and for how long you have been learning French,
- which level you think you have,
- why you want to learn French
- what kind of lesson you are looking for
- what language(s) you already speak or learn
You can write your first message in English, en français, en español, auf Deutsch, in italiano or türkçede.My teaching material
