Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hello everyone! 
Would you like to communicate effortlessly in French? Perhaps you've been dreaming of traveling or moving to a francophone country? Well, I'm here to support you on your journey of learning French! I specialize in teaching adults aged 17 and above. One of the most gratifying aspects of my work is connecting with people from around the world with diverse backgrounds and cultures. I would be delighted to meet you and help you achieve your dreams and visions. My expertise lies in general French classes for beginners, ensuring a solid foundation for those starting from scratch. I also offer conversational practice lessons. For beginners, I design sessions using materials like podcasts, movie clips, articles, cultural programs, and even restaurant menus. By prioritizing oral communication, we'll build your grammatical and lexical skills according to your current skill level and specific needs. My teaching methodology centers around dialogue and conversational practice, which helps foster oral fluency and the acquisition of language automatisms. My ultimate aim is to make you feel confident and self-reliant in various situations abroad, while also deepening your understanding of the culture and linguistic norms. Fun workshops, innovative grammar sessions, and engaging oral communication activities are the cornerstones of my classes. Conversational practice classes are better suited for intermediate levels to provide an immersive experience. If you let me know specific themes you'd like to explore, I can prepare sessions around those subjects to expand your vocabulary and expressions in those areas. Alternatively, we can engage in spontaneous conversations with a wide range of topics. During these classes, we'll work on improving your pronunciation, sharpening your listening skills, and mastering different language registers. I highly value the unique interests and differences of each learner, which is why my program is flexible and adaptable. We can focus on the key areas you wish to explore. If you'd like, we can begin with a trial lesson where we can discuss your goals, define lesson plans accordingly, and decide together if we’ll make a good team. 
Merci et à bientôt!

Oihana is great! She has a great sense of pace and was able to adjust practice intensity as was needed during the time of engagement. She has a hands-on approach that I really liked because I stopped worrying whether I was doing everything right. I see her almost as frequently as once a week and she keeps every practice interesting - shares new techniques that she is working on, alternates flows and poses, intensity, etc.

Oihana is a wonderful professional. She is well-trained, warm, honest, thoughtful, and able to address my specific needs. At first, I was hesitant to have a stranger in my home, but Oihana immediately set me at ease. Highly personable, she is engaging and courteous. I am very appreciative that Oihana works around my busy schedule, which changes weekly. I am thrilled that I have found such an outstanding personal yoga teacher. I am a 68 year old woman, not a kid any more, and I feel both challenged and supported by her. I can not recommend Oihana highly enough.

Oihana led a beautiful class that integrated not only the physical aspect of yoga practice, but also invited me to look inward to my thoughts and actions on and off the mat. She's very creative, thoughtful and attentive as a teacher and I always felt safe, yet challenged in her class - a beautiful balance! I highly recommend Oihana to anybody looking to begin or deepen their practice.

Oihana enters my home with great ease and worked with me to tailor yoga to strenghten the body of a 76 years old. I recommend her highly.

Oihana taught the best yoga class I've taken in New York. She personalized her instruction, created a very caring and welcoming environment in the studio, and guided a really elegant and effortless flow. I look forward to more classes with her. -- A Former Instructor
