Bonjour! I have extensive experience tutoring French to both adults and children, and I pride myself on adapting my approach to meet the individual needs and learning goals of each student. With children, I focus on making lessons fun, engaging, and interactive. I incorporate a variety of learning tools, such as games, songs, role-playing, and activities, to help build their vocabulary, speaking, listening, and writing skills in a way that feels natural and enjoyable. I also work to build their confidence, ensuring they feel comfortable experimenting with the language, making mistakes, and learning from them. I believe fostering a positive and supportive learning environment is key to helping children stay motivated and excited about language learning.

For adult learners, I take a more practical approach, focusing on skills that can be immediately applied in real-life situations, such as conversation, reading comprehension, writing, and understanding French culture. I tailor my lessons to each student’s specific needs, whether they’re learning French for travel, business, or personal enrichment. I place a strong emphasis on building fluency and confidence in speaking, while also reinforcing grammar, pronunciation, and syntax to ensure a well-rounded understanding of the language.

Regardless of age, I prioritise patience, clear communication, and personalised lesson plans that allow students to progress at their own pace. I create a supportive and relaxed environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions, take risks, and actively participate in their learning journey. My aim is to help students not only understand French but also develop a lasting love for the language, motivating them to continue their learning and engage with the Francophone world.
