Experienced and enthusiastic French native tutor (from beginners to advanced / children and adults learners)
I am a native French speaker. I come from Toulouse, in the south of France, the historic centre of the French aeronautics and space industry and the location of the Airbus Group headquarters. It is also well known for its food (cassoulet, foie gras, etc.) and for its two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Canal du Midi and the Basilica of St Sernin.
My private lessons are customised to each student’s individual needs and are designed to be fun and interactive. I work in a comfortable and relaxed environment.
My current students range in age from 8 to 74, from beginners to A level, including both children and adult learners from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. They live in various places (Bristol, London, Swansea, Plymouth, Leicester, Birmingham, Manchester, Hull and also in France). They are British, Chinese, Polish, Welsh and New Zealander. I build strong rapport with them and put them at ease. They appreciate my positivity and sense of humour, which is why they do not see their lessons as traditional ones.
Learning a language can be tough, especially French, with all its rules, exceptions and spellings. For this reason, my students really appreciate my ability to choose the right words and provide simple, clear explanations. The most important thing is to keep learning interesting and engaging. I deliver high-quality teaching, offering informative and educational lessons with email follow-up. I always prepare my lessons thoroughly in advance, and they are well structured. After only a few lessons, students are already seeing the benefits.
I am an excellent communicator and an extremely enthusiastic, positive classroom practitioner who encourages students of all abilities to achieve fantastic results. Their grades are improving, and they are able to hold a conversation; as a result, they feel more confident when speaking in public.
I am patient and motivating, and I have a strong understanding of how to keep students engaged during lessons.
Passionate about my profession, I pursue continuous improvement. I have a positive mindset, and I always do my very best for my students. I am able to maximise their potential by recognising that every learner is unique and learns in different ways.
I teach online, either one-to-one or in small groups. Online lessons are just as valuable as traditional ones. I use different apps (Teams, WhatsApp, etc.).
Tuition is the most effective form of learning.
Whatever your reason for learning French, I am here to help. It’s never too early or too late to learn or improve your foreign language skills successfully.
