« Bonjour »
Hello, I'm Shanna
French tutor for children, teens and beginner adults.
Hello and welcome. My name is Shanna, and I'm a native French speaker currently living abroad. I've had the opportunity to live and work in several countries, which has allowed me to meet people from different cultures and become very adaptable.
I'm patient, caring, and attentive. I particularly enjoy working with children and teenagers, supporting them in their learning and helping them become more confident in French.
I also teach beginner adults who want to learn the basics and start communicating in simple everyday situations.
Every student learns differently, so I adapt my lessons to each person's age, level, pace, and goals.
Above all, I want my students to feel comfortable during our lessons, feel confident enough to speak, and make progress step by step.
Learning a new language can sometimes feel challenging at first, especially when you're not yet comfortable speaking or you're worried about making mistakes. In my lessons, you can learn step by step and at your own pace. I'm here to guide you, encourage you, and help you become more confident in French.
For children and teenagers, I also aim to make learning approachable and motivating by adapting activities to their age, level, and interests.
Whether you want to learn the basics, improve your everyday French, prepare for a trip, or help your child progress, we'll build the lessons around your needs.
Most importantly, I want every student to feel comfortable learning French and proud of the progress they make.
Experience
I have experience working with both children and adults, particularly through my background in childcare, academic support, and teaching French.
With children and teenagers, I like to adapt lessons to their age and interests. We can work on conversation, reading, pronunciation, vocabulary, basic grammar, or French schoolwork and homework.
With beginner adults, I focus on practical and useful French: introducing yourself, asking questions, talking about everyday life, travelling, ordering at a restaurant, shopping, or simply starting to have small conversations in French.
Each lesson is adapted to the student's level and goals. We progress step by step, with plenty of speaking practice, repetition, and real-life situations.
My lessons are mainly for
- Children and teenagers learning French
- Students who need support with French homework or schoolwork
- Beginners who want to start learning French step by step
- Adults who want practical French for travelling, living abroad, or everyday communication
