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.

About Me
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.
Education
BA in Classics and Modern Languages (French) from the University of Oxford (Trinity College), 2015A Levels in the following subjects:
French (A*)
Latin (A*)
Ancient Greek (A*)
History (A*)
Experience / Qualifications
Over three and half years of tutoring French and Latin at Key Stage 3, Common Entrance (13+), GCSE and A Level both in person and online.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).

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.
You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.
My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.
In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.
What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!
In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart.
I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches:
If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options:
1) Learn the schedules by heart.
2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m.
In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster.
My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results.
Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind.
I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics.
What will not be the subject of the course:
learn lists of verbs;
learn lists of nouns with their gender;
learn words with their translations;
memory card game;
doing school exercises;
follow the program in a notebook;
impose French grammar on the Latin language.
What matters to me in particular:
motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm;
encourage creativity;
make friends with language;
letters and their sounds
strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop;
teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart;
explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible;
breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ;
place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice.
In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy.
I look forward to meeting you.

French courses for students in school and students who would like to improve in the language.French is one of the most influential languages in the world. Knowing how to speak, read and write it while understanding the significant accuracy of the words used is an asset that unfortunately very few master.
My lessons are based on my student's expectations, the areas in which he wants to work will be implemented.
