I have been a tutor for about 4 years and have helped my French-speaking student get an A* in GCSE-level English. I have also been a tutor for many students from all levels and ages. I can tutor in English and French. The lesson format I use is designed to help build a strong foundation before advancing to more developed elements. I begin by focusing on the basics, making sure that the student is confident in their core vocabulary, carefully review the foundational material with them through constant repetition and examples and then move on to more developed content. Reading, writing, and speaking activities are all used in my teaching style to promote the learning environment. This gradual introduction of challenging language components is structured to feel natural and manageable.

Throughout the lessons, a strong emphasis is placed on building confidence. Students are encouraged to experiment and make mistakes without the fear of embarrassment, and I provide consistent and constructive feedback to help refine their skills. Once the basics are mastered, I encourage students to experiment with new words and more complex sentence structures.

By progressing from a solid foundation to more intricate language use, learners not only expand their vocabulary but also develop the ability to express themselves clearly and confidently. This approach creates an environment where experimentation is welcomed and growth is celebrated at every step.

Overall, this progressive format of lessons not only ensures improvement but also fosters a love for learning and language exploration in a comfortable and friendly setting, which paves the way for future success.
