Information About Euraste Stephan - Mallow tutor

Personal Description:

I am 31 years with a bachelor degree in International Business and Languages, with the languages being French and Spanish. I am now living in Mallow in County Cork. I am originally from a small country in West Africa called Togo. French is my first language but I can also speak 5 languages with Spanish and Haitian Creole being a couple of them. I passed my leaving cert in St Eunans College in Letterkenny in County Donegal with an A1 in French of course. I then got my bachelor degree in International Business and Languages in Letterkenny Institute of Technology and lived in Amiens, in France, for a student exchange program. I have also lived in Costa Rica and Panama before, hence the reason why I can also now speak Spanish fluently. I have a passion for languages and I love to impart this knowledge to others. It really makes me happy to do it.

Tutoring Experience:

I also have a TEFL degree and have been an online ESL teacher for 5 years and counting. I have also given French and Spanish grinds to primary, secondary and university students.

Approach to Grinds:

French is really a beautiful language to learn. I focus on the needs of the student. My approach is very simple. I create a relaxed atmosphere because I believe that it is the best way to learn. I also let the student participate more during the lesson by asking them questions and guiding them to the correct answer. My lessons are very interactive. One of the things I focus on is the conjugation of verbs. Verbs are possibly the most important part of learning a language. If you can know how to conjugate verbs in different tenses, you will improve so much and feel confident about the language that you are learning. Not a lot of people know this, but you will be surprised by role that the conjugation of verbs play in learning French and different languages.
