Joelle White

As a French teaching assistant, I have a first-hand understanding of the structure of the exams and the expectations for GCSE and A-level. I will provide feedback and indicate what the student needs to know to achieve a better grade.
I am a very patient person and will always find encouraging words to give confidence to students. This is key with verbal skills, to feel in control and confident rather than out of depth with a language.
I will make sure to cover the various topics taught at school and will do regular drills on tenses and grammar points. I will also use resources online to develop reading, listening, and speaking skills.
As a French native, I am in the best position to help with pronunciation and to provide students with useful pointers. I also have a solid insight on French culture, which can come in handy for A-level students when they build up their IRP.
Aside from students, I can also offer 1-on-1 support for adults who wish to learn/revisit the French language. I will arrange a first video call (30 minutes maximum) to go over the level of French, the reason for wanting to learn French and the topics to approach, so that I can prepare sessions as tailored as possible. The duration and the frequency of the sessions can be discussed.
I have availability after 5:30pm every day but can also have earlier time slots on some days. My rates are of £30 per hour. Sessions will be carried out online using Teams.
