About Me
italki teacher since Feb 16, 2017Interest topicReadingEnvironment & NaturePets & AnimalsArtFood
Bonjour ! My name is Rachel, I’m a French Master student in Toulouse. My major is French as a foreign language. I studied for a few years after my baccalaureate and before my Master degree. I even went to Malaysia for a gap year! My first experience of teaching French was with a friend that came in France to study in the same university; we made so many good memories!
A bit about myself : you can use any pronoun with me (they/she/he) I don't mind ! In french I generally use 'she' while speaking but 'they' while writing about myself. I'm also vegetarian. I don't smoke nor drink, that's why my knowledge about alcohol or flesh cooking is limited.Me as a Teacher
I started to tutor here, on Italki, in February 2017 and am still here!
At university I had the chance to practice teaching French a few times in a association, at Alliance Française and at the DEFLE (Foreigners majoring in French) department of my uni (levels from A0 to B2). I also had the opportunity to observe how lessons were given in a social center and a high school in a special class for foreign teenagers recently arrived in France.
I offer informal tutoring (doesn't require more than 15 minutes preparation from me). The lessons are customized to your needs and goals. My students generally prefer to work on conversation practice.My lessons & teaching style
How can I help you?
The topics I am most familiar with are video games, arts, literature, graphic design and environment. I prefer to help with oral French, but I absolutely can correct your writing or explain grammar.
Some of my students are CHILDREN and SENIORS but most of them are ADULTS. I always send a short greeting message to my new student and ask them what they want to do. Feel free to tell me if you are shy or if you struggle with something, I’ll be there for you =)
PACKAGE – I allow extension once per package.
RESCHEDULE - I agree to reschedule a lesson before the lesson starts. Please respect the 24 hours window while possible.My teaching material

A very pleasant and no stress first lesson!
I found Rachel to be very easygoing but also attentive to grammatical details and pronunciation, even though it was an informal conversation lesson. Rachel’s calm relaxed manner is perfect for this style of language learning: zero stress as the conversation naturally unfolds. Brava!

Ich bin absolute Anfängerin. Ich fühle mich bei Rachel sehr gut aufgehoben. Sie motiviert mich, zu sprechen. Trotz Online Unterricht korrigiert Rachel meine Aussprache und trainiert diese mit mir. Sie stellt Unterrichtsmaterial vor und nennt wertvolle Tipps. Rachel unterrichtet sehr wertschätzend. Ich empfehle sie sehr gern.

la séance avec Rachel était vraiment fructueuse. la qualité principale du Rachel est l'ecoute active. Elle me donne du temps pour parler et m'exprimer même si je ne trouve pas les mots justes, et elle intervient simplement pour m'aider à continuer, ses questions étaient claires et l'interaction tout au long de la discussion s’est déroulée avec fluidité.
Merci beaucoup!

Merci pour la discussion. Je ne m’attendais pas à parler des bestioles, c’était une bonne conversation. Merci toujours pour des corrigés et patience.
