French is a very useful language that you may want to learn for work, for holidays, to talk with people you know, or just for fun! It is also known to be difficult... But I will make it easy for you!

I have been an examiner for AQA and am familiar with both AQA and Edexcel GCSE and A-level specifications, having taught the Edexcel spec before. I have tutored French to children (beginner to bilingual) and adults. The planning and delivery of my classes will be dependent on the individual needs of my students.

I have also worked as a primary school teacher and am an excellent teacher of primary school maths and English.

French is a very beautiful language but this one is rather complex.
I offer fun learning, adapted to the knowledge of the apprentice. The goal here is to progress by taking the time necessary to memorize each notion.
The first course will focus on an assessment of the apprentice's level in order to subsequently offer a personalized program adapted to level.

I have studied at the French Lyceum Alexandre Dumas in Moscow and have been learning French since birth.

I teach French and Russian to kids, students and adults.

I have been teaching French/Russian since I was 14 years old. I helped my classmates pass their French and Russian exams by teaching them vocabulary and grammar. I have also helped them understand history, French and Russian literature, philosophy...

I have also helped kids learn French/Russian from the beginning while concentrating on broadening their general knowledge.

I have different approaches and techniques depending on my student.

-If I teach French/Russian to a kid, the lesson usually lasts for an hour. We play games, watch short movies, sing songs and discuss his topics of interest. The lesson is highly interactive, and the child is highly involved in the process.

-If I teach French/Russian to a student/adult, the lesson may last up to an hour and a half. Methods vary, depending on the level of proficiency in the language. We talk about different topics of interest and develop speaking and writing skills in a way that is interesting to the student.
If interested, French/Russian literature is studied by authors such as Baudelaire/Tolstoy and Maupassant/Turgenev. We could also converse about French/Russian history, culture and the country's traditions.

Languages are the key to success. Being fluent in Spanish, French, and English has opened me so many doors. I would deliver classes in French and Spanish to any age gap and at any level. From beginners to advanced levels.
Classes can be delivered virtually and they will be on the format that the student needs, I will adapt to the necessity of the student.

Graduate in Literature and Linguistics and Teaching French as a Foreign Language from French universities with over 20 years of experience teaching French for public examinations or simply for pleasure.
Target oriented and fun! Lessons are tailored to suit students' needs and objectives, interests and learning behaviours. Multi-media materials are used to achieve the greatest effects in the five skills of learning. Suitable drilling is also adopted for best results in public examinations.
I can also teach in Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin) and Italian.

Very casual and friendly class, no need to be formal. Preparing students for SQA N5 and Higher exams. Going over past papers and practicing together for speaking and listening. Plenty of resources available to help achieve the best grade possible.

Whether you like to travel to French speaking countries, or are at school learning French, or maybe you just like the challenge of learning a new language; I'll be happy to help you. As a French native who has been living in the UK for the past 4 years, I helped many friends learn or improve their French. I tailor my classes to my student: I can help you with your homework if you struggle understanding the grammar, I can craft courses to help you learn based on your interests, or we can just talk in French to improve your speaking and comprehension. Just let me know where you are at in your journey to learn French and I'll be happy to help you to the best of my capabilities.

You'll learn and improve your French skills (oral, written and comprehension but also pronunciation). We can work with help of materials such as books, music or movies. The point is to have fun by learning this language and discovering another culture.

German course also available: based on the same model as the French course.

In this class I can provide foundation french lessons in speaking, reading, writing and listening. Depending on what you wish to achieve the lessons will be altered to fit your needs. I try to create a relaxed environment while keeping the lessons as rich as possible so you get the best experience.

French can be a difficult language to learn, especially if you are not surrounded by it all the time. However, a new language can be a useful for a CV, for University application, or even for your own cultural knowledge and experience. I can provide help with existing homework if you are already at school, and, I can be a source of practice (as practice makes progress!). I am very flexible and we can discuss what you feel you need to study. I will be here to offer advice on different things you can do to improve.

I am proficient in English, French, and Latin. If you would like one-on-one assistance with any of these languages, feel free to get in touch with me. As a linguist I am happy to provide 'deep' explanations of each language's grammar and phonetics should you ask for them.

I can help with your vocabulary, pronouciation and a short conversation.
Also if you are intermediate I can help you further
