About Me

Hello! My name is Zahra, and I’m here to accompany you or your child on the journey of learning French. For about eight years, I’ve been teaching French with passion and enthusiasm to both children and adults, and I find every age group fascinating, each with its own unique challenges. Over the years, working with bilingual and multilingual children has convinced me that language is not just a means of communication; it’s a powerful tool for strengthening intelligence, logic, and even creativity. On the other hand, teaching adults has shown me that mental abilities are never limited—you only need to find the right approach for each learner. That’s why I always try to adapt my teaching to each student’s personality and learning style, so the process is not only effective but also enjoyable. In the end, the true joy of teaching, for me, is walking alongside learners—not for test results or exams, but for those small, brilliant moments when a sentence comes together, a message is conveyed, and even the learner is amazed by the magic of language. It’s in those moments when new pathways of communication open up, and truly, there’s no greater joy than lighting up fresh sparks of understanding in someone else’s mind!

Teaching Method

In my classes, I make every effort to use all available online teaching tools to maximize efficiency.In children’s classes, the *Les Loustics* method is used. Without relying on difficult and tiring grammar exercises, learning is enriched through crafts, music, cartoons, puppet shows, flashcards, online games, and an interactive whiteboard. For bilingual children with a stronger foundation in French, teaching materials from French-speaking schools are also incorporated. For teenagers, the method used is *Adomania*, and for adults, it is *Édito*. Additional grammar and vocabulary books, as well as films, music, and literature, are also employed according to the learner’s needs and the class objectives.
