Yann Godbert - French Tutor

Introduction

My name is Yann Godbert. I am from Saint Arnoult en Yvelines, Ile de France, France.
I have both a B.A. and a master's degree in ethnology from the University of Paris X Nanterre, France. I am a certified French teacher with 12 years of experience in classroom, from primary to university. I studied ethnology and did many things: guide in rural tourism, director of my own restaurant, and I also worked for the local government in development planning. Actually I teach in University geographic's topics about Heritage, Agriculture and socio-environmental changes in the territory.
I have also 5 years of experience in individual or very small groups teaching French online courses with North American, European and Asian students of all ages and all levels. I'm certificated as a DELF-DALF examiner and two or three times a year; I participate in DELF-DALF sessions. I also worked in the "French Alliance" of Guanajuato (Mexico) where each grade is based on DELF-DALF levels.
I was born and raised in France for 23 years, but I am now in Mexico, in the beautiful city of Guanajuato.
I'm especially interested in ecological and social actions. I really enjoy traveling and I have been to Guatemala, Ecuador, USA, China, England, Spain, Poland, Hungary and of course Mexico.

Teaching style

My teaching method is always based on students' needs (grammar, conversation, etc.) and I can use various didactic supports: learning books, videos, pictures, games, etc. I try to adapt my lessons to the age and personality of my students.

Hobbies

In my free time, I like listening to cultural programs on radio, going for walks or spending time with family and friends. I'm volunteering in an ecological NGO and I use to participate in several social and ecological projects.

"[Translated from French] Thank you for your training in helping me obtain from my DALF C2 certification. As you know I was not able to pass the first time, but with your assistance I just passed with a total score of 89/100." Erik M. - Pilot

"Don't be fooled by the other sites with cheap lessons. You get what you pay for, trust me, I know from bad experience." Thomas B. - Principal

"I started using Live Lingua over a year ago to improve my rusty French that I needed to refresh for work. My teacher is wonderful, very knowledgeable and flexible with class scheduling. I believe my French (both speaking and written) has drastically improve thanks to Live Lingua classes." Piera L. - Unknown

"• You are going to love your teacher(s) • You will make surprisingly fast progress • You will develop the confidence to speak French I have been taking French classes twice a week for 10 months with two different teachers. Our conversations have gone from my lacking confidence in the simplest of greetings to the sort you would hold with a fascinating friend: travel, movies, daily life, current events, geopolitics, energy policy, and so forth. These one-on-one lessons are invaluable for advancing your speaking skills and confidence. I find the website very easy to use. Just access your teacher’s calendar and select the dates/times that fit your schedule. If you encounter any difficulties, the Live Lingua team is very responsive. I also appreciate not being bombarded with junk email. You will receive confirmation of each class you register for and receive a class reminder the day of. They also offered a holiday discount promotion at Christmas which I took advantage of. Aside from that, the management team seems to get out of the way and let the teachers do their thing. If you want to jump start your French give Live Lingua a try." Karen B. - Unknown
