About Vincent

Contrary to what S. de Beauvoir said about women, I did not become a teacher; I have always been. Schoolboy, my essays, in class, were read, high school student, I was already helping my classmates to compose; after my studies in modern literature at the Sorbonne, I still assisted doctoral students in the writing of their thesis: I am a specialist in writing and text commentary (I participated in the creation of many books, as a English editor and translator). I spent most of my career teaching in college and high school, sometimes in prestigious establishments, sometimes in ZEP; I write, I compose: I do not attach much importance to diplomas, to medals: only the pleasure of reading, of hearing and of understanding guides me. As Ch. Bobin wrote, “I don't like those who know, I like those who love”.

About the lesson

My methodology is based on the experience acquired and the rapid understanding of the difficulties of others.
Rather than using big words about my "method", I prefer to say that it is smiley (and a little scholarly, too).
First aspect: it is a question of de-dramatizing the difficulties, and showing that they are due, most often, only to a few small "blockages", or preconceived ideas, that it is a question of patiently deconstructing, and reduce to simpler operations of the mind, which are those of "common sense", capital in French.
Secondly, I try to guide the learner towards the discernment and analysis of what is salient, carrier or creator of meaning (the thematic focus is one of my specialties).
I attach a lot of importance to the third point, which consists in showing that to be a teacher, one is nonetheless, and always, a perpetual learner: in class, I do not hide my possible shortcomings. On the contrary, I try to make it a strength, and I show others how I learn when I do not know (this practice is essential, because it engages, through the example of the master, the future autonomy of the teacher. 'Student).
Finally, rather than seeking sterile "rigor", I endeavor to establish, on the subject of the literary object studied, surprising or subtle relationships - between works and authors, for example - and I favors intertextuality as well as vocabulary resources, a way of bringing to life, in the eyes of the students, the culture and knowledge of French letters, always seeking to link them through a smile, the pleasure of learning and astonishment: when I teach, I try to make people feel that all this is just a game, quite fun, after all, because it engages curiosity, the mind and the emotions.
