Information About Jasmin - Kingston upon Thames teacher

Personal Description:

Hello,
I am a recent graduate of Economics at the University of Warwick and La Sorbonne. I spent a year in Paris working and studying Economics in French, at La Sorbonne (France's premier university). Prior to this, I studied French at A-level, after which I spent the summer in Paris, au pairing for a family.
Overall, my grasp of the French language is much more rounded than the classroom basics and I understand the applicative problems of speaking any language, especially French.

Teaching Experience:

I have previously tutored English school children with the French school curriculum and whilst in Paris, I tutored French students in English. My approach in Paris will be more similar to the one I would approach with prospective students: conversation based with quick grammar exercises and some cultural pointers.
In addition to tutoring in languages, I have also had extensive experience in tutoring kids up to age 20, in Economics and Maths, and so, am well equipped to take on all age ranges and abilities.

Teaching Approach:

I believe that languages are learnt by having a thorough grounding in grammar and vocabulary and content will follow with conversation and aural exercises. Half of the issue with speaking French in France, is not actually building a sentence, it's being able to understand a question and respond quickly to keep the conversation flowing.
