Who am I ?

My name is Isabelle Gougeon and I've been teaching French and French as a foreign language for over 20 years.

I know the requirements for diplomas and the different school levels in the French and IB systems, as well as the expectations of the DELF exams.

I am trained in cognitive and behavioral neuroscience, as well as in the care of young people with special needs and allophones. I listen to my students in order to best meet their needs. I adapt to individual possibilities for online teaching that is compatible with jet lag.

My experience

After ten years in France, where I taught mainly in Lycée Professionnel, I moved abroad by choice, to help my students.
In very different parts of the world, in a variety of settings (French lycée abroad, vocational lycée, Alliance Française, local school...), I have accompanied, with passion, enthusiasm and dynamism, learners of different ages, levels and languages, with their ambitions, challenges and choices.

Thanks to these splendid experiences, I know how to adapt:

optimal learning strategies
listening to learners to understand them better
supports to convey concepts clearly
words to encourage the best in every learner

Listening, adapting, supporting, explaining and helping are the keywords of my teaching approach.

Reviews

Laure (parent and colleague): Isabelle is a teacher who knows how to motivate her students. She enables them to surpass themselves while gaining self-confidence. Her teaching is of the highest quality!

Eline (colleague): Isabelle is above all a good listener, caring and committed, who knows how to combine seriousness and human qualities in her work. Isabelle is easy to work with because she likes to pass on knowledge and skills, while remaining flexible in the way she achieves or helps achieve objectives. A great teacher, you can count on her!
Françoise (colleague): Isabelle is really a great teacher! She's a great listener, and adapts to the student's needs and difficulties. What's more, she's a great educator. Being her student is a guarantee of success.

Jacky Sam-Weng (parent Vancouver Canada): We came across Isabelle during our children's middle school years, and their learning experience was enriching, motivating and more than positive. Isabelle is an exceptional teacher. Through her many years of experience acquired at various international schools around the world, she knows how to adapt her teaching methods to your child's needs and school system. Thank you Isabelle for your commitment.

Christine (parent): Very good teacher who adapts her teaching to her students with a lot of pedagogy. She's a good listener and very experienced. I highly recommend her.

Yasmin (student): Kind teacher, strict when necessary. Knows how to teach according to the child's needs. A teacher like I wish there were many more in the world.

Gabrielle (student): She was my French teacher for grade 12, an amazing teacher who was very attentive and listened to everyone. She succeeded in raising the level of my class in French which was doomed to failure (thank you)🫶
It's partly thanks to her that I passed my bac with distinction. I recommend her 1000%, with my eyes closed.
