Aurélie Coelho

I am a native French speaker who loves to share my language and my culture with others. A language is made to be spoken which is why we speak French as much as possible during class. I use authentic materials (videos, music, articles...) to share the francophone culture while learning new vocabulary or a new grammatical rule. Learning should be fun and I try my best to achieve that.

I use authentic materials such as videos, podcasts or newspaper articles. Each lesson has a lexical, a grammatical and a cultural aspect provided by the document. I give written exercices during class to make sure everything is understood. Communication is of utmost importance so we speak French as much as possible and you get to use what you learn in a simulation of an everyday life situation.

My first teaching experience was in England in 2011 when I was working as a language assistant. Through my studies and my professional career, I have worked with students - teens or adults - from all over the world - beginners to advanced - learning French for work, school or just for fun.

Though teaching has been my main activity, I worked in a tourist information center for several summers. I also worked in a library for a few months.
