Book a private class

You can book online private French classes with me or with some teachers that I highly recommend.

Who am I?


I am Margot and I've been teaching English with a passion since 1995. I am French, I live in France and I started to teach French in 2020.

Career

I have taught English

  • in many schools (private and public) including a bilingual nursery/primary school. 
  • junior high school
  • high school (BTS level)
  • at the University of Rennes 1 - IUT students (DUT and licence pro levels)
  • in companies
  • in my language club - Le Mini Club Anglais (from 2012 to 2020)

Today, I teach English and French online and create teaching resources for families, teachers, schools and language clubs. I also offer teacher training and language (English and French) courses for adults.

Training

After graduating with a baccalaureate in literature and art, I went on to study English at the Institut Anglophone Charles V, Paris 7 University, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree LLCE (Foreign Languages, Literature and Civilizations) in English - majoring in Contrastive Linguistics and Translation - in 2001. 

My different 'hats'

English & French teacher: I like to teach practical and useful French & English, but also playful, creative, humorous and in touch with nature.

Author: I'm the author of a bilingual children's book, The Forest Trap / Le Piège Dans La Forêt, published by Lessons & Books4Kids and also available as an e-book.


Family life: I'm an teacher, but above all I'm the mom of two girls who fell into my English language club when they were little. We also have 1 cat, 3 chickens and 2 axolotls. We are a couple fascinated by English and foreign languages in general, books, children and teaching. Our whole family is passionate about nature, music, reading, astronomy, art, discovering the world and so on. Our eldest daughter illustrates all the Lessons4Kids English lessons and flashcards. She's also an amateur photographer and author of a series of children's novels, Enquêtes à Paris, available in French. Discover her world on her blog.

Talking about your dream job - Help to write your 3rd letter to your pen pal

Image
Most of the kids don't really know what they want to be when they grow up. Some do know but change every day, don't they?  I love to listen to what they have to say about their dream job - which is a great way to get to know them and at the same time help them to express themselves in French. JOBS / LES METIERS is the theme of our Bilingual Zoom class today, and also the theme of their 3rd letter to the French pen pals. I have just added the bilingual jobs flashcards in my shop (23 jobs illustrated, 54 flashcards). Pay attention to the way they reply to the question :  What do you want to be when you grow up?  Aren't they super cute?! I love the answer:  "I want to be a super hero".  Why not? :) This week, during our Bilingual Zoom Class, I taught my students how to talk and write about jobs in French: What is your dream job?  Quel est le métier de tes rêves ? My dream job is… Le métier de mes rêves est... Or  What do you want to be when you grow up? Qu’est-ce qu
