Bonjour, I’m a native French student in English studies and I have been a tutor for four years now, to students from the age of 9 to 18 with various learning profiles (dyspraxia, autism, dyslexia).

As a future teacher, the most important thing for me is to learn how to adapt to the students needs and ways of learning. There is no one perfect way to learn a language, and my goal is to help you or your child to find out more about yourself/themself and how your/their brain works ! Always searching for innovative ways of teaching, I will provide a personalised service to help you master French !

I accept beginners as advanced students in French studies who need tutoring or help on their essays.

I had my French baccalaureat in Economics with honours. I am fluent in English and has the IELTS certificate at 8 level.

If you need more details or want to discuss a specific situation, feel free to contact me ! Belle journée à vous ! :)

About Me

Bonjour !

I’m a native French student in English studies and I have been a tutor for four years now, to students from the age of 9 to 18 with various learning profiles (dyspraxia, autism, dyslexia).

As a future teacher, the most important thing for me is to learn how to adapt to the students needs and ways of learning. There is no one perfect way to learn a language, and my goal is to help you or your child to find out more about yourself/themself and how your/their brain works ! I also give organisation courses if required, alongside methodology. I take some time to analyse your manner or organizing your studies and give you advice and help to make the most of your time.

I had my French baccalaureat in Economics with honours. I am fluent in English and has the IELTS certificate at 8 level.

Education

In 2019 I passed my French baccalauréat in social studies and economics with a global grade of 18.1/20 (Honours). At the end of the year I will graduate in English Studies (Bachelor), more precisely in Literature and History. I am currently in international exchange at the University of Edinburgh.

I am studying Social Anthropology and Politics at the University of Edinburgh. Classics are one of the biggest interests of mine; I started studying Latin and Ancient Greek languages and literature 6 years ago and I have been teaching for three years. I think studying these languages led me to be more aware of who I am as well as understand what is really worth.
Latin (Ancient greek too) lessons consist of two different parts: grammar and literature.
By studying grammar you are not going to just receive boring notions about the structure of the language, but you are going to deepen processes and rules that form Latin; with this method we are going to discuss about Latin and Greek mindset and then discuss about important themes studied by ancient people in literature. Furthermore, according to your needs and goals, we can exercise on translation of texts.

This class is for anyone who wishes to learn German from someone with native level skills. Whether it is to learn the basics as a beginner or to hone essay-writing skills. Can comfortably adapt to any curriculum (IB, A-Level, GCSE).
Alternatively, if desired, I can help develop more analytical literary skills and give guidance on how to study German Literature.
In both cases, I prioritise verbal dialogue as well as writing tasks, particularly for more advanced levels.
I am very flexible when it comes to the structure of lessons/their intensity and feel it is usually best to discuss this on an individual basis.

I teach Spanish which is my native language and French. I lived in Belgium for 4 years and I also studied the French and Spanish Baccalaureate.
I teach in a dinamic way in order to improve my students level but also to make them love languages because they are very important.

Hi! My name is Marie and I am a native French speaker, offering classes for all levels. Whether you are preparing for an exam, wanting to develop you language skills or trying to catch up on your school homework, we can make lessons work for you.
I have a collection of personalisable course material at my disposal, extracted from recent example of French-speaking culture, to use as a starting point for each class. It could be either short videos, news articles, book extracts, depending on your level, your interests, and your goals. From this, we will be able to work on all four language competencies: written and oral comprehension, as well as written and oral expression. And who knows, we might even be able to find you a penpal to practice you newly acquired skills.

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.

• Poetry, Prose, Drama
• Personalised and engaging learning materials & lesson plans
• Flexible hours and timings
• Trusted and skilled professional
• Easy communication

• Literature lessons for students (secondary level to higher education), 1-2 hours weekly or as needed.

• Attain desired results while developing a personal connection to the subject (as I did as a student!) My lessons help my students form an appreciation for what they initially found elusive and challenging.

• I I hold myself to high standards as someone who is deserving of trust. I enjoy communicating with parents/guardians and am happy to keep them updated regarding their child/ward's progress, if desired.

• Original learning materials: enjoy studying with worksheets and assessments that are intentionally customised for particular learning styles and learning needs.

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.

Utopian Studies extends the notion from Thomas More's Utopia to the emergence of dystopian literature, highlighting the connection between fictionalized literary works and reality. The seminar is designed for students with advanced reading skills as the primary readings are mainly novels. Students are expected to carry out individual research. Further readings (journals, academic papers, etc) will be provided to support the discussion during the class.

Provisional reading list:
Utopia by Thomas More
News from Nowhere by William Morris
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells
High-Rise by J.G. Ballard
Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
