Certified and experienced modern literature teacher offering lessons to succeed in the French baccalauréat.

About

Passionate about French literature for as long as I can remember, I followed a classic academic path at the Faculty of Letters in REIMS after obtaining my literary baccalauréat. After my bachelor's degree in modern literature, I obtained my Certificat d'Aptitude Professionnelle à l'Enseignement Secondaire (teaching certification for secondary education).
I won't tell you that all my professors were also academics working at La Sorbonne as well as renowned writers.
Nor will I tell you that I had the chance to work at NEOMA BUSINESS SCHOOL for years, as well as at illustrious tutoring companies in Reims where I gave group and private lessons.
Finally, I won't tell you that writing drives me: I have several philosophical novels and short stories to my credit.

Teaching experience

I worked at NEOMA BUSINESS SCHOOL: I prepared young people for the TOEIC with English teachers, and administered the TAGE MAGE, among other things.
At ACADOMIA, I gave lessons (group and private) in French and philosophy, as I also did at ANACOURS.
I continue to teach online from Spain, being registered notably with "Groupe Réussite" in Paris.

Thanks to my active teaching methods, my tailor-made lessons, my passion for reading, and my altruistic nature, I can lead anyone to the peak of success.

Teaching methods

I am therefore a literature teacher specialized in preparing students for the French baccalauréat. I have helped several Year 11 (seconde) and Year 12 (première) students reconcile with the language of Molière and achieve honorable results in the baccalauréat.
My teaching method is as follows: first, I carry out an initial assessment to determine the student's level. Based on this first observation, I offer various exercises and materials tailored to each learner's type of memory. Then, depending on their weaknesses and strengths, I help them grasp the essentials through concise summary sheets and exercises.
I always prepare my students for the most difficult tasks, since whoever can do more can do less.
Mnemonic techniques help them understand the method for the literary essay (dissertation) and the literary commentary.
Regular formative assessments show me what my student has mastered and what can still be improved.
Literary history, analytical readings, stylistics, grammar: everything is made accessible through an interactive and playful teaching approach when concentration wanes.

Favourite quote

My favorite quote is: "One must play at starting over" by Albert CAMUS. Why? Because it is an invitation to never give up in the face of adversity, whatever the situation. The future belongs to the bold.
