Having gone through GCSEs doing French, Spanish and German, I have had a lot of experience of dealing with the format to succeed at that level. It is the belief of many language teachers at this level that in a modern foreign language GCSE, examiners are looking for the candidate to be able to accurately do the "basics" of the language, that being the ability to understand when and how verbs should be conjugated, and to have a substantial knowledge of vocabulary surrounding various topics. Knowing this, I aim to structure my lessons around this criteria. I aim to first uncover the weaknesses of a student, and then build them up to turn them into a strength. To help my students learn, I prefer to use interactive ways of learning, as I have found that method the best way to learn a language, at least for myself. I also have a strong aim on exam technique, particularly for longer essays and speaking exams, which can be the make or break between a good level and a not as good one. I am aware that as an A level student, I will not have the experience that other tutors may have, however I believe that I am able to bring a more relatable form of teaching compared to those tutors, because I have a recent experience of going through GCSEs and with that am able to relate closer to the pressure that comes with sitting your GCSEs, and I am able to offer a more realistic way of being able to perform well at GCSE, because I have an acute memory of the difficulty of having to juggle so many subjects at one time
