French tuition either on a 1-1, 1-2 or small group basis - can either follow a school or college curriculum or be completely student-led, working on difficulties or starting to learn the language from scratch, working towards exams or just to achieve personal goals. I use a wide range of materials, from books and websites to audio examples on YouTube, Instagram and other sites. Keeping the language up to date is key to learning so I always prioritise the spoken and written word, focusing on increasing skills and confidence in listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiently in French.

About Me
I'm a Mum of two teenagers so my teaching skills have come in very handy over the years! My patience is infinite and I understand how to relate to students of all ages and abilities through being kind, sensitive to their needs and responding to each individual with care. My love of French began quite late on as my experience at school wasn't very positive - luckily I had a fantastic French tutor who got me through the difficulties, leading to my developing a passion for the language and for all things French! I went on to study French at University, spend a year living in the south of France then I began honing my tuition skills and now I'm over 25 years in the job. Over the years I have learnt how to tailor my lessons to the requirements of each student and have achieved great success - in terms of student exam grades and with adult learners gaining skills and confidence - due to the time and attention I give to creating and delivering interesting, useful and informative lessons. I have strong IT skills and have over 3 years' experience of online teaching via Zoom, Skype and MS Teams.
Education
I attended the University of Reading in the UK which included a year spent attending the Université de Paul Valéry in Montpellier and achieved a 2:1 grade. Before that I completed 3 A levels and 10 GCE 'O' levels at secondary school including French and English (at both levels)
Experience / Qualifications
Apart from French tuition, I have additional experience in writing CVs, general administrative work, proofreading and copy-editing, researching and creating content for social media and managing training courses.

Lucy
My name is Lucy and I live in West Sussex. I am fascinated by languages and communication and I have gained a wealth of experience in teaching and learning French, Spanish and English.

In 2013 I achieved my Level 5 Trinity College London Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I have have 8 years of classroom and private tutoring experience. My expertise is grammar: I am very skilled in this area having spent a lot of time studying. I have also gained plenty of experience in helping students with their speaking and listening skills. I am qualified to teach adults and teenagers, and have also gained experience in providing foreign primary school children with an introduction to the English language.

In 2017 I graduated with a 2:1 in French and Hispanic studies. In my third year at University I studied and worked abroad in Paris and Madrid. In Paris I was the English teacher of a small private school and I was in charge of designing the curriculum, teaching all the lessons, and creating an end of term assessment. In Madrid I was self employed and privately tutored several students with lessons tailored to their requirements. For example, one student wanted to improve conversation skills for her job as she was required to communicate with clients in the UK, so we focused on business conversation skills in English.

In June 2020 I will qualify as a Secondary Teacher of French and Spanish, teaching up to A level (Key Stage 5). I am currently on a SCITT PGCE course (School Centred Initial Teacher Training) which means I have been in the classroom since September gaining plenty of experience teaching the languages. Before beginning my ITT (Initial Teacher Training) year, I completed a 6 month Subject Knowledge Enhancer which involved studying the different modules of the GCSE and A level syllabuses and preparing a presentation on teaching each module to a class. This course has helped me understand exactly what is expected of the students during Key Stages 4 and 5 and I received excellent feedback on my achievements.

If you are studying French, Spanish or English, I can help you to succeed! We will tailor my class and lessons to your individual needs. Whether you want to build confidence in speaking and communicating, or need some extra help with grammar/ written work, I can help.
