Enjoying helping you for 7 years on Italki by giving you all my experience and my energy! I'm belgian, expatriate to Mexico. By my choice of life you can tell that I love travels, culture and languages. Living abroad raised the interest in me of the importance of foreign languages, which is why I love to teach my beautiful own language, french! I do love travels and culture but I'm also interested in current affairs, reading and cinema, among others. I'm curious and always ready to talk about new topics. ✴ I was a teacher, in high school, for 7 years. I used to teach in french to mexican students with different levels of french, which means I know how to adapt to any level. Nevertheless, my experience is now more with adults. ✴ I now have 7 years of teaching experience on Italki, with students of all levels from beginner to advanced. ✴ I believe a language is better learnt through the use of authentic material such as videos, articles, music, and more. Immersion in the language is the best, and the discovering of its structure and rules comes naturally. Of course to immerge yourself in a language, having the chance to speak is just as important! My lessons give the priority to ✴ the discovery of the french through various material and different topics ✴ a discussion about it ✴ the correction of your mistakes ✴ and a structured explanation of the rules discovered. => all depending on your NEEDS! The more important with me is to never be afraid to INTERRUPT me anytime to ask any questions! There is NO rush, we go to YOUR rythm and take the time you need....

I always enjoy my lessons with Valerie. She’s very supportive and laid back, and there’s always something to talk about. I feel like I’ve progressed a lot since starting my classes with her and if I ever have something I encounter outside of class, I bring them to her and she helps put everything into perspective. Plus, we have similar interests and that always makes for interesting conversations.

Je fais des leçons avec Valérie depuis presque 11 ou 12 mois. Elle est très fiable et aide ses étudiant(e)s à s'améliorer en français en les corrigeant et en ayant des conversations profondes sur des thèmes variés. Je ne vois pas l'heure passer quand on a nos conversations. C'est un plaisir de travailler avec elle.
