Melanie Paganelli

My lessons are student-centred, structured, and interactive, designed to meet each learner’s level, goals, and learning style. I combine conversation practice, grammar exercises, reading, writing, and listening activities to create a balanced and engaging learning experience. I adapt my approach depending on whether students are beginners, intermediate, or advanced, ensuring that every lesson builds confidence and encourages active participation.

I focus on making French practical, enjoyable, and relevant, using real-life situations, authentic materials, and topics that interest my students. My teaching style is patient, supportive, and motivating, allowing learners to progress at their own pace while challenging them to reach new levels of fluency.

With over 20 years of experience in education, both professionally and through volunteer work, I have taught learners of all ages and backgrounds. I am passionate about helping students develop their speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, while fostering a love for the French language and culture.

Whether you want to improve your conversational skills, prepare for exams, or learn French for work or travel, I create lessons that are tailored, dynamic, and rewarding. I also include fun cultural activities, practical tips, and real-life scenarios to make learning engaging. My goal is for every student to feel confident, motivated, and proud of their progress after each lesson.

I also encourage students to practice outside of lessons through small exercises, reading materials, video, films and conversational tasks. This helps reinforce learning, develop independence, and maintain steady progress. Together, we celebrate achievements and continuously set new, motivating goals.
