Experienced Secondary & University Tutor - French native offering lessons!

Bonjour !

I am a 28 year-old French native speaker currently working online as a French Tutor at the University of Sussex. I was a Modern Foreign Languages teacher in a Secondary School in Brighton until I relocated to my French hometown in March due to the COVID-19 context. I now also teach English as well as French (as foreign languages), to children and adults. I have over 5 years of experience in Education and love tutoring! During this challenging lockdown phase, I am currently offering various types of video lessons :) !

I can personalize my lessons according to your needs, tastes and personality. I can tutor students of any ages and levels, individually and in groups. I can offer one-off lessons but also intensive courses e.g. 5 hours per day. I develop differentiated methodologies (using various supports and media), and can offer conversational lessons, exam/test preparation, homework support, one-off lessons, grammar-based tutoring, activities to improve speaking/writing/reading/listening skills, cultural anecdotes, strategies to develop communication and confidence...

Every week the lesson has a theme/objective and I respond to my students` needs/preferences - at the end I can give an oral + written feedback on what we covered well that day and on the weaker areas we could focus on in the future, which enables us to track progress. I can email any useful resources used and vocabulary, and can give homework if you wish.

I always aim to create a safe and friendly atmosphere to put my language-learners at ease and maximise their potential! I think my strength as a teacher are my patience, experience, positivity, humour and empathy.
Any questions please don`t hesitate to get in touch :) !
