Advert description
With over 14 years’ experience specialising in French grammar, speaking and listening skills, I have a friendly and patient approach to language learning, and design my lessons around each student’s aims, interests and ambitions, keeping study sessions fun and motivation high.
I am a member of The Tutors' Association (the UK’s non-profit professional membership body for the tuition industry) and I have an Enhanced DBS Certificate. I work with both school-aged and adult students.
Skills
96% pass rate with exam-sitting students, with 45% gaining 8, 9, and A* grades.
Over 5,300 hours of direct tuition experience.
Own extensive library of study documents, exercises and lesson plans.
14 years’ tutoring and language coaching experience.
Native/C2-level written and spoken business and conversational French.
French-to-English Translator of business-related books, websites, articles.
Whatever the student’s age or ability, my calm, patient and considerate approach to tutoring creates an environment where no question is silly, any worries about the subject can be discussed openly, and frustrations can be ironed out, explored and worked through.
With younger students, I offer one-to-one online French tuition for 13+, GCSE, iGCSE, and A Level exam preparation, also undergraduate support.
Students build confidence in the subject, any gaps in their knowledge are identified and filled, and gifted students can be stretched beyond their actual academic level.
I am familiar with all the UK’s major exam boards and their French exam syllabi.
I also work with adults on improving their Business French skills across a wide range of industry sectors. A second language is sometimes a job requirement, and is seen as a highly sought-after skill by management and hiring departments alike.
Similarly, I work with adults who are learning French for pleasure. Learning on a one-to-one basis can often provide the motivation an adult student is looking for if they have had difficulties with home-learning resources or other types of self-study.
