Samira M.

Native French speaker, certified FLE teacher and curriculum designer with 25 years of experience teaching adults from complete beginner to advanced levels. I hold a French Maîtrise in Classical Literature and have formal training in instructional design and facilitation. My work combines strong linguistic expertise, adult language teaching and pedagogical engineering. FRENCH TEACHING & EXAM PREPARATION I teach French to adults from A0 to advanced levels, with personalized lessons built around each learner’s objectives, level and actual difficulties. My areas of expertise include general and professional French, conversation, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, written expression and preparation for DELF, TCF and TEF exams. After 25 years of teaching, I know where adult learners really get stuck. I work on recurring and fossilised errors, L1 interference, accuracy in speaking and writing, and the gap between understanding a rule and being able to use it naturally and spontaneously. FRENCH CURRICULUM & INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN I design, review and improve French language curricula and learning materials for adult learners. My work includes CEFR-aligned learning paths, grammar and vocabulary progression, lesson planning, speaking and writing activities, assessments, revision materials and autonomous learning resources. I also audit existing courses and curricula to assess level appropriateness, progression, pedagogical coherence and whether activities genuinely practise the language point they are supposed to teach. My instructional design background allows me to look beyond linguistic correctness. I focus on what learners need to achieve, what makes an activity effective and where a curriculum needs to be strengthened or redesigned. FRENCH CONTENT REVIEW & PROOFREADING My background in Classical Literature gives me a strong command of French grammar, syntax, vocabulary, style and register. I proofread, edit and review educational, academic and professional content in French, with particular attention to accuracy, clarity, naturalness and consistency. I can also work in English on bilingual educational projects and review instructions, exercises and learning materials in both languages. Core expertise: French Teaching, French Tutoring, FLE, Adult Education, DELF, TCF, TEF, CEFR, Curriculum Development, Curriculum Design, Instructional Design, Lesson Planning, Educational Content Development, French Grammar, French Proofreading and French Editing. If you are looking for an experienced French-language professional who can teach, design, review and improve learning content with strong pedagogical judgment, I would be happy to discuss your project.
