I taught French as a Foreign Language (FLE) for the Directorate of Cooperation and Cultural Development (DSCD) in Tbilisi, Georgia. This experience was part of a diplomatic and intercultural framework, serving the Francophonie and cultural cooperation.

My main responsibilities:

Conducting dynamic classes that encourage oral communication, interaction, and a communicative approach.

Designing multimedia materials and interactive activities.

Providing personalized support to learners in their linguistic and intercultural progress.

What this demonstrates:

Innovative pedagogy: constant adaptation to learner profiles and objectives.

Intercultural skills: teaching in an international context, with a keen understanding of cultural issues.

FLE expertise: mastery of communicative and action-oriented methodologies, preparation for official certifications.

Communication: ability to convey complex knowledge clearly and motivatingly.

Group management and individual follow-up: balancing group dynamics with personal needs.
