C. NORMAND | Séjour linguistique intensif / Immersion program / Ile de Ré

 

Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Clarisse, a native French speaker, 50 years old, living with my husband Claude and two of my three daughters on Ile de Ré. The two youngest are now on boarding sport schools. We have a eight-year-old dog, Heidi, and two guinea pigs. We live in a house in La Flotte, one of the two "best villages of France" on the Island! I was born in Brussels, I am half French half Belgian.
I left Brussels to follow my husband to Paris, and we moved here, on the island in July 2021, leaving Paris behind to live a wonderful experience on that amazing island! I have been coming here since I was 2! We enjoy having picnics while watching the sunset, summer or winter, it is always beautiful! Claude and I love watching movies in the evening, something we can do together! And of course, going to the beach, biking, horseback (our girls are always away to take care of the horses) We do live on an island but La Rochelle, which is a wonderful city, is only 30 minutes away!

You will have a minimum of 20h of french practice and 15h of french classes. I have been working as a teacher for the last 29 years, initially as a regular teacher in a school, and then via the Internet since 2014. I teach students from 15 to 99 ???? Teaching is a real passion for me, as I love being able to help students who are not confident at first to soon enjoy speaking French with pleasure! I adapt my lessons depending on my student’s needs. All levels are welcome! Perhaps the most important thing for me is that my students never feel bored, so I have a variety of teaching methods up my sleeve to make sure that never happens! My lessons are primarily based on speaking, which I deem the biggest priority. Writing is important too and we tend to do this as homework, which we then correct together and speak about it French again. The homework materials are varied and fun, e.g. dictation, listening to songs, reading a book, making a summary, grammar & vocabulary exercises, ...
