Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

French is one of the most spoken languages in Africa and in Europe. As a fluent French speaker, I have decided to teach French to beginners and high school students. My experience as a French tutor has broadened my teaching style. I teach according to the student's needs and ability to learn French.

I am qualified to teach English to Non-English speakers. I have a certificate in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). Teaching a language is a passion. I enjoy seeing a student get better at speaking French or/and English.

CVCC blends
Beginning and ending sound blends
Reading rules
and so much more...

The satisfaction that comes with tutoring English to children online is the spackle in their eyes when they begin to understand the language. Sharing knowledge and learning about different cultures and countries while learning English also makes the most fun!

I love to keep my students engaged and captivated during the lesson by using total physical response and alot of rhymes to help them keep memory of some concepts. PROPs are the number part of my classes, it helps keep the learners engaged and visually understand what they are learning.

Learning another language is an incredible adventure which opens many new doors and opportunities to students. However, it can be challenging, difficult and frustrating. I teach beginners to advanced students. My goal is to create an environment that is supportive and engaging, allowing students to build English proficiency and confidence. I use the first lesson to get an idea of the level of English the student is at. The next step is for the student (or parent) and I to set achievable goals. I then work step by step with the student to achieve these goals. I structure my lessons to suit my student's individual needs and learning styles. I aim at providing fun and interactive classes. I include many action games and songs, particularly with my younger students. My lessons with teenagers and adults are more formal, but I still use games, film and role play to enhance their lessons. I set up real life scenarios so students can see the language in action. I include pronunciation exercises into each class as I believe that speaking English well is one of the top goals of my prospective students. I look forward to joining prospective students in this journey, sharing in their progress as they achieve their goals.
