Should I need anything in particular?

You need

• a computer (with webcam & micro),
• an Internet connection.

I provide you with all course materials during the lesson.

Do I have to use my webcam during the sessions?

I recommend that you use your webcam during the sessions so that you can observe your pronunciation and - if necessary - correct it more easily.

Why should I attend a face-to-face lesson with you?

On the web, you can find lots of resources and teachers for learning the French language. However, many of these trainers have no pedagogical training whatsoever, do not have a sufficient command of the French language and build learning systems for money without taking the learners into account. What's more, many of the resources contain content errors.

With my face-to-face courses, you are guaranteed to have a course that is adapted to your needs and your level of learning, that develops the skills of the CEFR and that includes cultural elements of the French-speaking world. What's more, you are guaranteed a lesson with a professional native teacher who has over ten years' experience in teaching French. Don't hesitate to book a course with Cedric !

Who can attend face-to-face lessons?

Face-to-face lessons are suitable for everyone: teenagers, students, adults... I work a lot with beginners, but I can also help you if you have an intermediate or advanced level.

I prefer to work with learners over the long term rather than in a single session. This allows learners to create a learning routine that will better anchor learning in their long-term memory.

Concretly, what happens in a face-to-face lesson?

During a face-to-face lesson,

• The first session is used to discuss you: what are your needs ? Why do you want to learn French ? Do you have a basic knowledge ? Have you already passed a diploma such as DILF, DELF, DALF, TCF ? Based on all the information you've given me, I'll propose a language learning plan that we'll discuss together.
• The following sessions will follow the learning plan to develop all your language skills (oral and written production, oral and written comprehension, interaction) and language tools (vocabulary, grammar, conjugation, pronunciation). Cultural aspects are also integrated into the lessons (films, series, music, culinary recipes...).
• My courses follow the evolution of the CEFR, moving from levels A1-A2, to B1-B2, and finally C1-C2.
• I always start from a contextualized French situation to develop the tools of the language and carry out a series of varied, interactive exercises.
• I constantly evaluate your learning to ensure that it matches your needs and coincides with real-life, concrete learning situations.
• At the end of the course, you'll receive an e-mail with all the course materials used: text, video, song, podcast, games, interactive exercises. Everything can be reused outside the classroom as often as you like. You'll also receive feedback on what you've mastered, what you'd like to learn and what you'd like to improve. and what you absolutely must work on.

If you have a specific request, please don't hesitate to contact me. I can help you work on specific points of the language (e.g. learning only medical vocabulary, mastering how to send an e-mail to a manager to ask for something...). This type of course can take place over one or more sessions.

What does the lesson price include ?

The lesson price includes :

• lesson time ;
• preparation and creation of specific material training ;
• use of materials after the lesson ;
• a summary of the session after the lesson, specifying which aspects of the language have been mastered, which need to be improved and which must be worked on.

How do I pay you ?

Payment is made when you book your session in the calendar.

Can I book a different time session from one week to another one ?

You can schedule your lessons at a time that suits you best. Just check the times in the diary to see if I'm available.

So you can change the time slot each week according to your personal availability.

Can I reschedule a session ?

If you have planned a lesson and would like to schedule it at a different time, please consult the calendar to check my availability and send me an e-mail. I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Can I cancel a lesson ?

Any lesson can be cancelled. Simply send me a message.

Please note that if you cancel your lesson 24 hours before it is due to take place, no refund will be given.

What if you cancel class at last minute or don't show up ?

That shouldn't happen.

However, if you do not see me joining the session, I will contact you later to offer you another session or a refund.
