Personal Description:
I graduated in 1992 with a joint BA (Hons) in European Business Studies after spending 4 years at Hull University and at the Ecole Superieur de Commerce at Bordeaux in France. I worked in as an Export Sales Manager for 10 years then in 2006, I re-trained with Le Club Francais and became self-employed teaching French to children and adults. I love the work I do - I am passionate about teaching and understand the importance of connecting with my tutees on a personal level so they build confidence and accuracy in learning French as a foreign language.
Teaching Experience:
Licensee for after-school French Clubs for primary-aged children with Le Club Francais (3yrs - 11 yrs)
10 Years experience teaching at GCSE & A level
Small adult groups
Previously employed by several Chester primary schools as a specialist language teacher teaching during PPA.
Teaching Approach:
I will first of all arrange an informal meeting with the client to assess the current level or spoken and written work. This will enable me to understand the tutees current level of French and to establish which areas of the French language I will need to concentrate on.
My aim is to build confidence in my tutees in all the key areas (written, spoken, aural and reading) and to focus on the correct pronounciation at all times.

EmmaFrom Miriam (2/5):
Reply from: Emma: Unfortunately this feedback was given after just one evaluation session where I needed to correct some basic pronunciation and accent rules to improve in the spoken language. No mention was made at the time that the tutee wished to cover some specific work until the end of the session.
From Katarzyna (/5): Emma is a very skilled and enthusiastic teacher. My daughter not only finds her lessons helpful but also enjoyable. The first assessment lesson was free, and after that Emma created a plan for revision and with each lesson my daughter's confidence increased.
Reply from: Emma: Thank you so much. Your daughter is a pleasure to teach and her enthusiasm is reflected in the weekly improvements she is making.
From Bennett (/5): Emma responded very quickly to are request for assistance - which was greatly appreciated as my son needed help with an assessment the following week - he has found her to be an excellent tutor and really enjoys their weekly sessions - I have seen a real improvement in his confidence in only a few weeks ! If you are looking for a French tutor we would highly recommend her.
From Giles (/5): I really look forward to my lessons with Emma. I was quite nervous initially but Emma quickly put me at ease. I like Emma's calm, enthusiastic and fun approach and her gentle corrections :o) My French has come on in leaps and bounds as a result and my confidence is improving with every lesson. Thank you Emma!
From Karen (/5): My daughter will be having her 8th French tuition lesson today. Emma her tutor meets the needs of her learning in every way. Initially helping with the decision of commencing with A level French, Emma assessed knowledge levels and provided clear and honest feed back. She has now tailored a program that suits my daughter's interest and learning style and things are progressing well.
Emma is really easy to be around. She has a happy disposition, is polite and professional and we're keepng her :)

Reply from: Emma: Thank you so much for your comments. Maddie is a pleasure to teach and has a great attitude to learning which I'm sure will advance her knowledge in conversing in French in the future.
From Sian (/5): Emma has been teaching my 15 yr old son in readiness for his French GCSE. My son has grown in confidence and enjoys the lessons. He finds Emma easy to get along with and I am pleased with the progress he is making. I would not hesitate to recommend Emma as a French tutor.
Reply from: Emma: I was so pleased that Ben achieved an A in his French GCSE results this year!! Well done. This was a great effort together and shows that with the right level of encouragement and determination, the desired results can be reached!
From Helen (/5): Emma helped my two sons with their confidence. The elder with his A level.She even got up to speed quickly to help him with his chosen oral subject of hydrogen power- quite technical as it turned out! He says it really helped!
The younger with GCSE- a very reluctant linguist now seems far less frightened of the subject. It was over the Christmas holidays and they both were reluctant to work at this time but both said they learned a great deal from their time with Emma and it was very worthwhile.
She kindly came to the house and was punctual and kept to time well. She was also very accommodating regarding times to suit them both at what would have been a busy time of year for her too.

Reply from: Emma: Thanks so much for the feedback. I trust both boys will do well in their exams and must say they were a pleasure to teach!!
From Martin (/5): Very happy with my choice of tutor.
From Paddy (/5): Emma is great to work with. Her approach is friendly and professional. She uses a variety of methods in her teaching and lessons are interesting, engaging and effective. My French is coming on in leaps and bounds and I am very glad I selected Emma to be my tutor. Paddy Doyle.
Reply from: Emma: Thanks for the great feedback. I am very pleased with your rate of learning and am glad you find our sessions to be very engaging.
From Anielka (/5): My daughter is gaining a confidence in the subject which she did not previously have. She finds the tutorials enjoyable and, because of this, seems to be progressing very well. I have been very happy with the arrangement.
From Lorna (/5): It is quite difficult to feedback after such a short period. However Aidan seems to be becomimg more relaxed with the tutorials, I think this is due to Emma's freindly approach. He has said that he is finding it helpful and that Emma explains things to help him understand. I have noticed that Aidan seems to be regaining his enjoyment for French and becoming more confident again.
Reply from: Emma: Many thanks for the kind comments. I do make every effort to put my tutees at ease as this enables a relaxing environment for learning.
