Information About Marion - Manchester teacher

Personal Description:

I am a native French speaker currently living in Manchester. Besides from working as a Teaching Assistant I am working on getting the Qualified Teacher Status in order to be a teacher in British schools next year.

I am passionate about modern foreign languages. I studied English and Spanish languages and civilisation at university in France and I have had the chance to live and work both in Spain and in Scotland for, a while. These experiences have enabled me to become trilingual.

I wish to transmit to my students the pleasure to master a foreign language and to practise it wide array of environments ( travels, work, listening to music or watching movies in O.V … )

Teaching Experience:

- Taught English and French to Spanish children when I was working as an au-pair in Madrid: three months in 2013 and three more months in 2015… - Volunteered as an academic tutor for a 14-year-old teenager on a weekly basis all along the academic year 2014-2015.
-Volunteered with the Red Cross giving French classes to beneficiaries in summer 2015.
-Worked as a teacher trainee in a Primary School in France for 9 months during the academic year 2017-2018.
-I am currently working as a Teaching Assistant in a Primary school in Manchester.

Teaching Approach:

I believe that every student has its own way of learning effectively. That's what i wish to find out from the first lessons in order to plan tailored classes that will enable the person to make relevant progress in the fewest amount of time.

It is paramount to me to combine learning with pleasure. It is the only way to keep your motivation alive and to be resilient with your work. That's the reason why i try my best to plan fun classes for the learning can happen in a relaxed and friendly way.

Learning and improving a foreign language is a long and demanding task. The language teacher is not only here to bring about academic contents but also to support, praise and advice. I endeavour to give regular and objective feedbacks to my students and to give them as many tools as possible for they can push themselves further.
