About Christian
I am currently teaching middle school and primary school age children in 2nd language acquisition. I have experience leading adult language conversation courses as well as classes in preschool, primary and middle schools. I have taught English to francophone students as well as French to anglophone students, so I am very well versed in the instruction of and translation between the two languages.

I have a variety of materials and methods that I can utilize to help cater to your own learning goals. With personal experience living and working in France, alongside my formal education and experience teaching the language to all ages, I am confident in finding the right tools and approaches necessary to help facilitate your personal language acquisition.
A typical lesson plan, depending on your goals would appear in many ways. For beginners with little to no experience, a lesson plan might be to introduce and review useful phrases and vocabulary that would be necessary in order to navigate a francophone destination as well as to begin building a foundation for further instruction in more complex areas. Approaches and content may vary depending on the student's goals and needs.
Further possible instruction into higher levels of education to develop literacy and language skills in oral comprehension and production might include cultural materials such as extracts from literature or various forms of media including music, pop culture, film, and the news. I also have access to a free and easily accessible online textbook that can help alongside any other form of curriculum you may need help with from elsewhere or that I can provide.
Grammar and vocabulary are paramount to language acquisition so I have many tools available for developing these areas of knowledge to help facilitate the learning process. With a background and basis of education in Linguistics as well, I can provide context for the language learning process in a way that many instructors do not have the ability to do. This provides a linguistic approach that includes the fields of phonetics and phonology, as well as morphology and syntax. Semantics are also an important linguistic area that can supplement meaningful context for the understanding and acquisition of language.
Based upon your goals and individual needs, I am able to adapt my approach to a variety of levels and contexts in order to allow for a positive and enriching learning experience and environment that will allow for long lasting and useful frameworks that may be employed in the future even after our time working together.

Christian is a very helpful assistant, since he was in our middle school, he's been totally dedicated to his work. He works with small groups of years 10 and proposes oral activities. When I prepare for the groups he's in charge of, he also looks for more documents or information to add his own touch and ground knowledge. He's very lively and willing to improve his French as well, his integration among the teacher's team has been quick. I recommend his services without hesitation!
As a colleague of mine here in France in our Secondary School, I really recommend Christian as a teacher: his French is really good and he has an accurate sense of what teaching means and implies. He is such a hard-working person that you can always rely on him if you want to study any topics. His creativity and his dynamism are obvious. Our pupils truly appreciate working with him too as he is always ready to help and adapt to new situations and students.
Christian has been working with us since October and I appreciate his great kindness and patience with the pupils. He is serious and reliable and full of ideas for the classes. His French is fluent and you can be sure he will do his best to help you whatever your needs are.
Christian has been a language assistant in our French school since October. He has always been ready to prepare and anticipate lessons. He's also keen on sharing time and lesson plans with the team. He's appreciated by the pupils because he always tries to make them feel at ease with English as a second language. He's been learning and teaching at the same: learning French with the team, he asks many questions and wants to understand how the language works, and teaching English with us to our pupils.
