Elizabeth Strich

I have five years of experience as a French teacher and three years of tutoring experience (German, literature, and elementary school curriculum).

After obtaining my Literature Baccalaureate with a specialization in German, I studied communication, marketing, and journalism at the École Française des Attachés de Presse (EFAP) in Paris before completing my Master's degree in French linguistics at the Sorbonne University in Paris.

During my teaching years, as well as through my many travels, I have had the opportunity to teach people from all over the world, which has allowed me to perfect my teaching methods. I prioritize human connection over the traditional distant teacher/student relationship to create a friendly and effective learning environment, which is essential for building self-confidence.
My pedagogy is based on an action-oriented and communicative approach centered. In other words, my courses revolve around authentic documents to create activities that enable learners to develop their oral and written skills, thus focusing on practical use of the language in real communication situations.

My specialties:

Everyday French including slang and idioms
Business French
Exam preparation (DELF, DALF, TEF, TCF, etc.)
CV creation and cover letter writing
French literature and philosophy
Pronunciation correction
Essay writing
Text commentary

I will give you the right tools to improve your level while reducing your fear of learning it. I will also give you a better understanding of French speaking and the French culture.

Whether you’re preparing one exam such as the DELF, TEF, TCF... or have a few years of French language under your belt and just want to practice and improve, I’ll make the basics basic and the harder stuff, well, simpler.
