French GCSE Learning with a Focus on Grammar and Speaking

A partir de 39.49 $ /h

French GCSE can be challenging for a variety of reasons: tricky vocab, little time spent on irregular verbs at school and extremely particular pronunciation.

I'm here to meet your French GCSE needs. As a private tutor in French and Latin with over 400 hours of experience both in person and online I have raised students' achievements by two grades with practice in pronunciation and meticulous attention to the learning of grammar. As a speaker of four languages I make references between French and other languages to make learning no slog but a memorable hour (or two).

Acerca de mí

I am a London-based Oxford graduate looking to help students of all ages with the study of Latin and/or French. Over the past three and a half years I have acquired over 400 hours of tuition experience. This has included tuition for both advanced learners and those struggling, sometimes on account of learning disabilities such as dyslexia and processing disorders.

My working hours are highly flexible and I would be willing to approach the subjects from whichever angle one prefers; whether a student wants to practise his/her spoken French, learn Latin grammar only or simply needs help understanding the syllabus.

All my homework is tailor-made after each lesson for every student. I take into consideration the student's progress, strengths and weaknesses. This is not the "one size fits all" approach too common in school; it determines every student's work on the basis of their experience. I keep tabs on what and how my students study and ensure their pace and progress fits their needs.

In addition to French I also speak fluent Russian, intermediate level Italian and some German. My knowledge of multiple languages allows me to draw parallels between them for my students: something they find both appealing and relatable.

In my tuition I have taught a range of ages studying at Key Stage 3, Common Entrance (13+), GCSE and A Level. What I've doubtlessly enjoyed the most is being able to get students to identify the patterns that unite all languages. I've never had a student - even the most linguaphobic - whom I haven't managed not just to improve but entertain.

The pace of my lessons varies greatly according to students. I am happy to assume a turbo-charged approach if the exams are looming but I've also had experience giving lessons to beginners or more casual learners at a leisurely speed.

French for Beginners: Choose Between Children's, Teenage or Adult Classes

Voulez-vous parler français?

Mais... pourquoi pas?!

Bonjour, I'm Sophia - and I'm here to reassure you French is hardly scary!

I am a committed tutor of Latin and French with a wealth of experience that's spanned over three and a half years (more than 400 hours of teaching experience both face-to-face and online).

As a tutor it's my foremost mission to instil in students an unflappable command of grammar, a familiarity with Francophonic idioms and an attachment to both literature and cinema. Learning to pronounce correctly constitutes a greater portion of my lessons than it does in the majority of teachers’.

In addition to these, my knowledge of Latin, Ancient Greek, Italian and some Spanish gives me ample opportunity for the comparison of languages: a facet that my students always find appealing and relatable.

Did you know the word for money in French ("argent") comes from the Latin word for silver, "argentum"? And that this is the reason Argentina is so called?

I provide linguistic trivia and more in classes I can promise you will be engaging and informative and never boring. We can set them at a leisurely or fast or moderate pace.

So, what's to fear? Sign on and commencez enfin à parler français.

How will a native speaker understand the struggles of learning their own native language? How will they know what's the most difficult thing about their mother tongue?

Stop signing up with native French speakers and learn from a person who speaks French fluently after having studied it from primary school all the way through to my professional career and speaks it on the daily with a French partner and his family and friends.

Hello,

I offer French, Spanish, and English lessons for all levels. I help with job interview and university exam preparation, as well as lectures and oral and written exams. I assist with correcting beginner and advanced level homework. I offer academic support for children, homework help, and help with grammar, vocabulary, writing, composition, and conversation. The methodology is adapted to the personality and needs of each student.

If you've just moved to London and need some basic language skills to get by, I can help you too, even if you're traveling to a French or Spanish-speaking country.

If you're traveling and only need a few hours of lessons during your stay, then a conversation lesson while visiting London's museums or parks will be nice (let's check the weather first).

Thank you

Jenny

Nowadays, languages have become an important thing in the society and an added value in the work field. In my classes, I'll try to teach them the basics of each language by focusing on grammar ( english tenses , prepositions of time and place.... )and vocabulary. In addition, I'm going to assign the students with homework ( reading and writing ) so that the learning process can goes smoothly.

You will be prepared for public exams (A levels, English GCSE, American SATS, Common Entrance) in French, Spanish, Linguistics (English) and Latin (up to Common Entrance) to a high standard. For those not taking exams, you will be taught via grammar and reading, which assures quick progression. You are welcome to bring your own material to explore with the tutor or your school prep. I do not write essays for students but provide a high degree of research to allow you to shine in your project or chosen module.

Learn the tips and tricks to boost your French and Spanish conversation!
I am an experienced French and Spanish tutor who has lived in Peru, Paris and Barcelona. I have been tutoring for 3 years and over time I have identified what most students struggle with when learning a language. I understand how intimidating speaking in a foreign language can be and so I offer sessions that are tailored to each student's needs - be it grammar, general conversation or learning a wider range of vocab.

I graduated last year from Durham University with a BA in Modern Languages and Cultures, and I am now studying my MA in Broadcast Journalism in London. I love all things to do with language and communication and have 500 hours of tutoring experience.

FOR GCSE/A LEVEL STUDENTS:
I have tutored French and Spanish at both GCSE and A Level and have a good knowledge of what different exam boards require. I can help you avoid pronunciation pitfalls, share resources to improve your vocabulary, and refine your grammar knowledge so that verb conjugations become second nature. When enquiring about lessons, please specify which exam board you are studying.

Hello :)

You have difficulties to understand and/or speak French?
You need to prepare for a DELF/DALF exam?
You need to progress quickly?
Good news ! I can help you :)

My name is Nina & I've been teaching French for 8 years. I have a master's degree in teaching & a certification to correct and examine DELF/DALF exams with Alliance française.
Most of my classes focus on speaking because it is often the most difficult skill to master and requires the most practice. However, I adapt each class according to your level, goals and interests so we can also focus on specific needs (DELF/DALF preparation, business French...)

I love to teach through culture & authentic documents (songs, newspaper articles, movie clips...) because it makes the lessons more lively, interesting & FUN! I take notes during the lesson in order to offer you a corrective assessment and exercises to remedy your mistakes.

Learning a language requires regularity so I would also give you homework & recommend you websites, movies, series, shows so that you can continue to learn outside the classroom ;)

See you soon :)

Whether it is to be proficient in a new language or to watch Emily in Paris without the subtitles, you might want to consider learning French! French is a unique language that seems intimidating but is rather easy when taught and practiced efficiently.

As a French native speaker, I would be more than happy to teach this fascinating language. If you are an art lover, you will be able to experience the arts of Victor Hugo, Simone de Beauvoir, Jean Paul Sartre, without translation! (and much more)
