Hello!

My name is Matthew and I'm a recent UCL graduate; I was awarded first-class honours in Dutch and French.

Do you have exams coming up? We can work closely to a syllabus so you pass with flying colours. Perhaps you're planning to visit a French-speaking nation or otherwise interact with French speakers, in which case we can work through a whole range of practical scenarios you're likely to encounter so you always leave a great impression.

Our classes can have as much or as little structure as you like; it's entirely up to you. I'll be keen to hear what your objectives and expectations are, and from there we can work out a plan of action.

I look forward to meeting you.

Matthew.

About Me
I graduated from UCL in 2023 in Dutch and French.

I'm applying for graduate schemes in industries such as banking, and what better to do in the meantime than make use of my language skills to help others.

My intuitive and favoured approach is to get to know the student, and make plans according to what is most productive for them. I'm certainly not one to prescribe the same methods or schedule regardless of context.

I like other languages too, although I'm not comfortable teaching them for now! Besides Dutch, I studied Mandarin at school and am now hoping to get my Slovak up to a workable level -- little but often.

Questions? Go ahead and reach out.
Education
I grew up and went to school locally. I started at university in another field but then switched to languages. This included some time studying in the Netherlands, besides France.
Experience / Qualifications
I previously tutored French in 1-to-1 setting, informally, in my local area.
During my year abroad I worked at a French business school.

ONE TO ONE
You come to my home or we can meet ‘on-line’ as I can offer fully Skyped facilities with webcam visual contact.
You will make fast progress, not only because the lessons are intensive and tailored to your needs and as sole student, there is no one to hold you back.
You will receive structured homework to increase your progress. This can account for up to 20% of overall learning.
I assess and aim to cater for your needs, whether beginner, intermediate or advanced level.

GROUP ‘EXAM BUSTING’ SESSIONS
Several students learning together is a most effective way of bringing an added dimension to the class. Students in partnership often form a strong bond, motivating each other, and working well together.
Six is my suggested maximum as it is vital to keep the tuition as intensive as possible.
We practice written, listening and oral exam papers and can also iron out any grammar or vocabulary issues that are relevant to the particular exam at the appropriate level.

MY APPROACH TO TUTORING
I carefully assess where my students have gaps in their knowledge and then build on closing them through grammar and vocabulary. I therefore give my students the building blocks to create their own sentences in writing and speech.
I work with their text books but also provide my own material to make lessons more interesting. I also use interactive material as well as focussing on past papers and oral exams to help gain confidence in the language.
I engage well with all my students and make the lessons enjoyable and less like an extension of school.
My conversation classes with adults are always fast-paced and fun, and my students very quickly widen their vocabulary and gain confidence in the new language.
