Sidney Nyongesa Teacher of French (FLE)
No reviews yet

I am a certified Teacher of French as a foreign language with up to 4 years of experience teaching. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Education, with French being my major. Furthermore, I have certification from MOOC Cavilam both for teaching French as a foreign language and for teaching first-time arrivals in France, French.

I am patient, self-motivated, ambitious and visionary. Likewise, I love
interacting with learners, which enables me to create an interactive environment for
learning. I apply my range of skills in research and technology to make classes
more applicable to the learners’ curiosities. I am also up-to-date with the changing
trends in education and I adapt easily to the same. My lessons are tailored around my learners' ambitions, motivations, and interests to enable them to improve while increasing their interest in the language.

Moreover, I am understanding of the role played by our different cultures in language acquisition. As a patient teacher, I take my time, which gives the learner room to grow and become self-sufficient. I have helped my students improve both in exams and the day-to-day use of the language. Finally, having learned the language, I can relate to the needs and challenges at an experience level, with myself as an example.
