À propos de Séverine
Here’s an insight into how I shaped My Vocation as an Online Language Tutor Abroad Becoming a language teacher From a very early age, I’ve been thrilled by the opportunities for self-development and sharing that foreign languages offer, as they bridge people and cultures. At 7, I was excited to practice Spanish with other kids while camping with my parents during the summer holidays. At 19, I visited my Australian friend who had done an exchange program at my high school. At 21, I went to England to be an au pair, and at 25, I worked as a French Teaching Assistant at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. While studying British and American Languages, Literatures, and Civilizations at university, I began developing my teaching skills: first as an English tutor, and later, after graduation, as a secondary school English teacher. One Vocation Triggering Another: Developing Complementary Educational Skills In 2007, I began volunteering at a welfare home to help two teenagers improve their learning skills. This experience led me to pursue a second career when I was hired by the association I had been volunteering for, and a few months later, I enrolled in a Social Work School in-service program. Even as I transitioned into my role as a social worker, for over 15 years, supporting the academic success of children, teenagers, and young adults remained at the heart of my mission. I facilitated mediation between them and their schools or training centers, as well as with other educational or health partners, while also providing tutoring in French, English, and Spanish. Becoming a Traveling French Teacher In 2014, after a trip to Morocco, I began picturing living abroad to fulfill my desire to experience a culture outside of the West. In 2016, I obtained my certification from Alliance Française, and in addition to my socio-educational work, I started teaching at a French as a Foreign Language association offering courses to people seeking political asylum. For two years, I volunteered, assisting teachers in classes ranging from literacy to level C2, co-developing lessons and educational tools, and then teaching levels A1 to B2 for another two years. In September 2022, I wrapped up my missions in France and started a sabbatical during which I volunteered for six months in Crete, doing farming, and then in Morocco at private language schools. There, I assisted language teachers, co-constructing my participation in their classes and leading one-on-one and group conversation sessions with students on topics related to the lessons, as well as personal and cultural matters. I enjoyed Morocco so much that I returned in March 2024, further taking advantage of this break in my professional career to focus on a writing project and enhance my guitar playing and singing skills. Throughout, I continued fulfilling my passion for tutoring, which offers a privileged relationship with learners, by teaching French online to some of the volunteers I met along the way. All along, I enjoyed sightseeing, hiking, and rock climbing, making friends, discovering local books, films, food, and traditional music, and learning a little Greek, a fair amount of Darija (the Moroccan dialect) as well as a little Arabic. Now, I’m eager to develop online tutoring as my main professional activity. WELCOME!

Levels and Particular Skills I teach Thanks to my academic background and the pragmatic approach of Alliance Française, which I’ve been experiencing for 7 years and which notably offers a very effective phonetic correction method, I can teach levels A1 to C2, adapting my lessons to your specific objectives and focusing on the skills and fields of interest you aim to develop. For example, you might want to: - Develop your speaking skills to travel - Become fluent in topics that interest you, for oral and/or written purpose(s) - Improve your school grades or get ready to attend a French university program - Prepare for DELF/DALF certification, etc. Who I Teach In both of my educational careers—as a language tutor and a youth social worker (where I also supported parents facing various vulnerabilities)—I have developed a strong interest in working with children, teenagers, and adults alike, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities for mutual growth and fulfillment. In my last class, the youngest student was 21 and the eldest was 73. I welcome learners of all ages and backgrounds! The Philosophy of My Teaching Approach What will teach you far more than my extensive knowledge of French are the insights you will gain through my ability to connect with you—guiding you through experiences that resonate with you, triggering your reflection, and ensuring you enjoy the lessons. Through my experience as a teacher and social worker, I have developed the firm belief that anyone can achieve their goals as long as they define them clearly, enjoy the journey, and feel confident enough to embrace mistakes—the most effective path to progress! I trust that my personality will encourage you to do just that. Building a trusting relationship has always been central to both of my careers, and while I take my responsibilities seriously, I also bring a lot of humor and a light-hearted attitude to the table. It helps ease inhibitions! I believe teaching is a mutual enrichment, and I am eager to step into your world. My complementary vocations will be an asset in helping you develop your French skills as well as your general learning abilities. My Method Because active learning pedagogy is at the core of this vocation, as a social worker, I developed behaviors and strategies that gradually improved my teaching practice. Indeed, I became more focused on encouraging students’ expression and autonomy. This emphasis was reinforced during my training at Alliance Française, which also employs a fruitful task-based approach that positions learners as social actors, enhancing their understanding and application of the language by participating in meaningful tasks and projects. Teachers serve as guides throughout these experiences. Therefore, I will guide you through interactive and lively sessions thanks to active listening and by stimulating your various forms of intelligence (emotional, social, creative, and rhythmic-musical). We will use authentic materials from various media, including newspapers, magazines, books, interviews, songs, podcasts, TV news, films, and cultural quizzes. If you are preparing for a certification such as DELF/DALF, we will also incorporate authentic tests. Together, we will create situations relevant to your life, particularly by engaging in role-playing experiences and conversations if the focus is on speaking skills. The Classic Lesson Structure I Will Adapt From Lessons typically fit into a sequence structured around a clear, general practical goal—‘knowing how to handle specific situations in French’—such as buying groceries at the market, finding an apartment to rent, booking a wine tasting in a cellar, debating a social issue, looking for a job, participating in a seminar, commenting on a painting, giving a gardening tutorial, or preparing for an exam, depending on your interests and objectives. Each lesson concludes with a Personal Production, which invites you to synthesize what you’ve just practiced by completing a sub-task, each of which progressively leads you to achieve your Final Personalized Project at the end of the sequence. Consequently, the sub-tasks I will guide you through could include, respectively, creating a French menu and its related shopping list, summarizing online apartment or wine cellar offers and preparing questions for a real estate or tourism agent. You might also work on listing the pros and cons of a policy measure, crafting your CV, preparing a slide deck for a conference presentation, writing a technical analysis of a painting, designing a gardening crop rotation chart, or practicing the skills required for the various components of your final exam. Each sub-task will require you to achieve both linguistic (grammatical, phonetic, and lexical) and cultural goals. They will be selected based on your level to ensure the necessary progression in learning process, as recommended by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. I will guide you by helping you: - Use your skills to build knowledge, stimulating your interest and expression, while guiding you to find the meaning of new words and deduce grammatical rules. - Memorize and reproduce content through written and oral comprehension/expression activities, so that you gradually make these new linguistic tools your own. - Reinvest and expand your knowledge by using your creativity in the end-of-lesson Personal Production or in the actual achievement of your Final Personalized Project. For example, you might participate in a role-play where I act as a market vendor and you’re buying groceries, or as a real estate or booking agent and you’re expressing your expectations. We could also simulate a debate about nuclear energy, a job interview, or a conference where you present the results of your research. Alternatively, you might publish an art critique, give gardening tips in a tutorial, or tackle a past DELF/DALF exam session paper. I will adapt this framework to provide a personalized learning experience, focusing on the language competence(s) you want to develop. This may include emphasizing skills like pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation, or tackling challenging spelling and written sentence structures. Together, we will also ensure that the tasks align with your goals. You will be welcome to seek my assistance throughout the lessons and, in the meantime, via email. I will also regularly encourage you to self-assess your progress and help you find ways to overcome any difficulties. Come and Join Me! If you’re interested, welcome aboard! Please feel free to contact me to arrange a free trial lesson or simply to request further information. Together, we can define a program tailored specifically for you.
