Paris French immersion
Your teacher
My name is Georgiana, your French tutor, language buddy & host In France. I live in Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, in the Paris countryside. As a French immersion teacher, I am patient, warm, and rigorous, understanding the needs and goals of my students.
I am fluent in several foreign languages, including English, which allows me to understand cultural differences and easily adapt to my students.
I love nature, hiking, cycling, and organic, local cuisine. I am also passionate about art, literature, and history, which allows me to organize enriching cultural tours for my students.
I enjoy interacting with people from different cultures and strive to make learning French not only effective but also enjoyable.Paris french immersion with Georgiana
Teaching approach
Experience authentic French immersion
I am convinced that my students’ success relies on a personalized approach to teaching. I take the time to understand each person’s needs and goals in order to offer tailored courses and effective teaching methods. My extensive experience allows me to teach students of all ages and levels, providing them with regular support and personalized guidance.
I also enjoy teaching children, thanks to my extensive experience as a teacher for young students and my patience, honed by bringing up four children, two of whom are now in higher education, and two 7-year-old twins who need a lot of attention and care.
My teaching style is dynamic and student-centered, focusing on interactive and practical methods to facilitate language acquisition. With experience teaching students of all ages and levels, I offer regular follow-ups and personalized support to ensure each student’s progress. No matter your French proficiency, I customize my lessons to meet your specific needs. I incorporate activities from a variety of resources including textbooks, French magazines, articles, and radio programs. I also create unique and authentic materials tailored to your interests and goals. I strive to communicate in French with my students as much as possible throughout our daily interactions and activities. However, I am also flexible and will use English when necessary to ensure understanding. My students often describe me as patient, caring, and generous.Paris french immersion

I studied French as a native language (Master’s Degree in Modern Literature) and specialized in FLE (French as a Foreign Language, Bachelor’s Degree in teaching French to non-native speakers) at Sorbonne University in Paris.
I also graduated in Italian language and underwent training in English, which I speak fluently. I also speak Romanian and some Ukrainian due to my family origins. Earlier in my career, I worked as an elementary school teacher for three years and then taught French as a native language at the middle school level for five years.
Since 2005, when I obtained my « FLE » degree, I have exclusively taught French as a Foreign Language to non-native speakers
