Certified Tutor
What is your teaching philosophy?
Whether you want to learn the basics of the French language, prepare for an exam or strengthen your conversational skills, I am here to assist you. I adapt to all levels, from beginner to experienced and I am very attentive to what you want to emphasize: conjugation, grammar, vocabulary, conversation, etc. My tutoring style is highly interactive and promotes active learning and participation through discussions, presentations, games, and activities. Additionally, I like to expose students to real samples of the language as it's used by French people, by incorporating it into lessons music, articles, advertisements, film clips, etc., that correspond with the subject or grammatical content being learned.
What might you do in a typical first session with a student?
Introduce each other in French, assess the student's level and goals in the class, and make a strategic plan and schedule to achieve the goals together by a certain date.
