Personal Description:
I am a native French speaker, born in France but has been living in the U.K since the age of 2. I have a first class batchelors degree in Modern Language Studies (French, Spanish and Portuguese) from the University of Nottingham
I love languages and am passionate about travelling, world literature, music and film. I am also an avid photographer
I have worked as a teacher and teaching assistant in the U.K, France, and Brazil

Teaching Approach:
I revolve my tutoring practice around the needs of my pupils. We can discuss what you want to improve in terms of the language (speaking, writing, listening, reading, translation etc) and I will create specific material based on your needs. If it is to improve your knowledge of French/Spanish/Portuguese in general, then we will focus on the acquisition of vocabulary and oral communication (touching also on the other skills)
I strive to make my lessons as dynamic and interactive as possible, as this is vital to successful language learning! I also love to incorporate French/Spanish/Portuguese Music, literature and film, so you will broader your knowledge of Francophone, Hispanic and Lusophone culture
