Odile TEZEL
Bio:
I specialise in teaching adult students from all around the world. I speak English fluently, I have an intermidiate level in Mandarin Chinese and also a strong knowledge of Spanish. I am a very patient and creative teacher, and I am curious about all cultures. I am very proficient in teaching conversational and general French from A1 to C1 level, preparing students for various interviews.
My teaching methodology:
- Learning at your own pace. I am a very patient teacher and I can totally adapt my teaching to however fast or slow you want to learn.
- Immersing yourself in the target language. You will be able to use our time together as an opportunity to speak and hear French as much as possible.
- Learning things that directly apply to your daily life and personnal interests.
- Making it fun! We can use little activities, dialogues, games or visual content to make the class as interactive and playful as possible.
My teaching background:
Before becoming an online French teacher, I have also previously worked as a French teaching assistant in Taiwan for one year where I was teaching university and secondary school students. I was also a part-time French teacher in a private school in Shanghai, China for 6 months. I have now been a full-time online French Teacher for the past 6 years. I have taught more than 3000 hours online, that includes general French classes, but also conversational, grammar, interviews and DELF preparations.
My background outside of teaching:
Other than teaching, I have also worked in several NGOs and social enterprises, mainly in the eco-tourism industry. I had the chance to carry out several internships and paid positions in different countries and gain experience in coordination, international relations, translation, as well as social media presence.
