If you're having a difficult time in your French classes or want to improve your French speaking skills, signing up for quality Tulsa French lessons can help you as you reach for your goals. French is one of the world's major languages. Spoken by almost 300 million people worldwide, it is the official or main second language in 55 countries. It is thought to be the language most widely studied, second only to English. There are many reasons why one might want to learn this melodious language.
Perhaps you're a student at a secondary school such as Holland Hall or Booker T. Washington High School. Most students are required to take a foreign language course in order to graduate from high school. With unfamiliar concepts such as gendered nouns, accented letters, and difficult pronunciation, extra French lessons can help you to build a good foundation as you study. French lessons would also be beneficial for older students, such as those attending a college or university such as the University of Tulsa. At this level, French skills and concepts can become much more difficult. Having access to extra lessons with an expert instructor can be an incredible resource as you work to do well in your college courses.
Working professionals may also want to take French as a means to advance their career. French is the working and an official language of the United Nations, the European Union, NATO, the International Red Cross, and international courts as well as many international companies and agencies. If you aspire to work in international business in France or another French-speaking country, being fluent in French can give you an advantage over other applicants.
Maybe you're just hoping to take a trip and wish to learn French as a means to enhance your traveling experiences. The ability to speak even a tiny bit of French can make it much more enjoyable to visit France and other countries and can help you gain insight into the culture and way of life of the areas you are visiting. Maybe you're a student hoping to study at one of the French universities or business schools. Being able to speak French can help open up this opportunity.
No matter what your reason or goal is for learning French, we are here to assist you in getting the skills you need to work towards becoming fluent. With hard work and a bit of help, you can improve your French skills and gain confidence in your ability to hold a natural-sounding conversation in French.
What skills or topics can I learn from Tulsa French lessons?
Learning a new language can be frustrating, and French is no exception. With the help of one of our online courses or a private French teacher, you'll be able to work on building your command of the language. Your lessons can help you work on memorization, pronunciation, speech, listening, reading, and writing. Many of these skills can be worked on simultaneously. For example, when practicing your speaking skills with a classmate or your private instructor, you will also be improving your listening skills as you hear their responses. When you are working on your writing skills in a peer editing group, you will also be working on your reading skills as you edit and critique your partner's story or essay. All of these skills can be improved when taking supplemental French lessons.
How can enrolling in a class for Tulsa French lessons help me learn the language?
When you sign up for an online French class, you'll be able to attend live class sessions using our online learning platform. You'll be able to interact and see your instructor as if he or she is sitting directly in front of you. The online learning environment also allows you to collaborate with your classmates. You'll be able to participate in group activities and take part in various group discussions as you work on your French skills. Collaborating in this way has been shown to help students learn skills more easily. Your instructor can also help you with mnemonic devices to memorize different verb conjugation rules or grammar conventions.
How is working Tulsa French tutors different than being in a class?
Working with Tulsa French tutors is different than taking a class because you gain the opportunity for one-on-one instruction that is catered to suit your exact needs. This will help you to get the most of your lessons. You'll be able to work through lesson plans that focus on the areas you most need to improve. You also have the luxury of working at your own pace. You can spend as much or as little time working on a skill as you need. This allows you to work on your areas of weakness rather than spending time reviewing subjects or skills you have already mastered. Your study sessions can also take into account the reason you are studying French. If you're in an advanced French course, your lessons can fit that level of instruction. If you are simply trying to gain conversational French skills for a trip, you can focus on the types of words or phrases you'll need to use while traveling.
You can choose to meet with your tutor either online or in person. If you choose to meet with your instructor online, you'll be able to attend face-to-face study sessions using our Live Learning Platform. This allows you to access private instruction in your favorite study space, whether that is at the local public library, your favorite coffee spot, or in the comfort of your own home. We will also do our very best to connect you with an instructor who can meet you at the time which works best for your particular schedule. If you choose to meet with your instructor in person, you can also meet at the time and place of your choice. This can allow you to fit private instruction with a Tulsa French tutor in between classes, work, family activities, and any other obligations you might already have.

Robin: Tulsa French lesson instructor
That "click" moment when a student "gets" the material and realizes "I DO understand and CAN successfully advanced" - that's why I love teaching and tutoring. I WANT students to reach their goals. I thoroughly agree with Socrates' famous maxim, "Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel." My desire is to challenge, motivate, encourage and help each student to accomplish the task set for them. I want...... Personal Philosophy of Teaching Robin E. Tinley No matter how well I may teach, if learning is not taking place the purpose of education is defeated. I thoroughly agree with Socrates’ famous maxim, “Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.” My philosophy of education is to challenge, motivate, encourage and help each student to light that flame of passion for learning as a life-long pursuit and application. I want to tap into the knowledge the student already has, to help develop, strengthen, build upon, and apply that knowledge. I want to help them leverage that knowledge so they can successfully learn now, prepare for further learning, and have firm mastery of a tool which will be a meaningful and useful addition to their toolbox, necessary for life beyond the classroom walls. My philosophy of education also means tailoring learning as much as possible to the individual class body and student, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The articulate S.M. Lockridge once quaintly said in a dialect of the times, “If I shoots above the heads of my people, it does not mean I have superior artillery. It means I am a poor shot.” Additionally, I consider it of paramount importance in this rapidly changing world to challenge students to have a comprehensive understanding of their world, to be competent to face these unique times, to become men and women of integrity and strong values who can invest in their community, country, and world. Specifically in the area of language, I believe a bi-lingual or multi-lingual person has an edge not only in the competitive work world but in the joys of learning for pleasure. As a learner myself, and a lover of learning, I want to teach and inter-act with students with such enthusiasm and passion that the student not only learn at the time but also become a self-starting learners for life, acquiring skills, knowledge, and the ability to become independent and motivated learners in the future. I believe in a varied and participatory learning atmosphere. I am familiar with and use principles of TPS (Total Physical Response) for language acquisition. In conjunction with language learning, I consider it of great value and importance for students to also acquire a familiarity with other countries, cultures, and worldviews. I want students to see that their present learning situation has great potential for a practical – as well as enjoyable – effect on their future. I believe it is necessary and right to clearly articulate and convey to the student the expectations, to work with the student in accomplishing those expectations, and to lead the student in cross-cultural awareness. I intend to clearly define for them the concrete course requirements and the concrete means by which they may achieve their best possible results. Why do I teach with enthusiasm, passion, and an understanding of the students? The following brief anecdote demonstrates to a large degree how I formed my philosophy of teaching and why I bring to teaching what I do. As part of my degree plan I was required to take a course in a subject of no interest whatsoever to me: Economics. I took the course merely to complete a requirement and check off a box on my path toward a degree in my chosen area. That same semester I took a course I’d looked forward to with great anticipation: Latin American Areas Studies. What a surprise was in store! My Economics professor was knowledgeable, articulate, compelling, and above all passionate about his subject. A new hitherto unknown window on the world was opened to me. I learned so much in that course. Meanwhile, my LatAm Areas professor, although he may have been knowledgeable, was not articulate, not compelling, and not passionate about his subject. I still resent how he cheated us, his students. I want to be the teacher who inspires to greater learning and practice those who already have an interest in - perhaps even a love of - Spanish and French, challenging them to an ever-greater understanding of other peoples and cultures so that they may gain access to new worlds through mastery of another language. I want to be the teacher who opens a window on a new world for those who think they are merely completing a course and checking off a requirement, so that they will be surprised into new thinking and learning, and perhaps even a new love. I am vastly privileged to have lived and worked in Latin America for over thirty-five years. I have traveled or lived in all of Middle America and some of the Caribbean. During the past 4 years I have worked in, and taught in every Spanish- or Portuguese-speaking country in South America, as well as Cuba. What a wealth of experiences, information, knowledge, and areas for further exploration has been mine, that can now be translated to the classroom setting. What an opportunity and challenge for thoughtful and thought-provoking teaching and learning in a purposeful and meaningful way.

Additionally, I passed with honors an extremely rigorous International Teaching English as a Foreign Language course in Buenos Aires, Argentina that was certified by the College of Teachers in the UK. With this certificate,...... I believe that tutors prepare students for success not by asking if they know the answer but by training them to identify a problem, consult resources, evaluate and synthesize information, formulate a solution that makes sense, and then act upon their decision with confidence because they have evidence to support their thinking. Students are then empowered to be active creators of information rather than passive recipients of facts from books just to make a grade.
