Personal Description:

I am a 29 year-old French. I have settled in England. I love reading and talking about books. I am talkative, easy going and very enthusiastic about the subject I teach.

Teaching Experience:

I studied at Birmingham (2004-2005) and worked there as a French language assistant in two secondary schools. My work there entailed my being responsible for teaching small groups of students and, at times, work alongside the teacher in the classroom. I learnt how to adapt my teaching to different groups and different situations regarding the topics I was asked to cover.
In France, I was employed by two agencies as a private tutor. I taught French and English to students aged from 7 to 18 years old and this helped me develop and enhance my skills and abilities.

I currently work as a French Language assistant in a sixth form where I teach AS and A2 students on a one to one basis. I am responsible for preparing for their French speaking exam. Every week, I plan lessons and adapt myself to each student since we are lucky to offer them an individual time with me to speak and listen thus developing, enhancing and strengthening their oral skills to aim for the highest possible mark.

Teaching Approach:

I work with the students, meaning I listen to them, to what they think and know, how they work in class and alone at home. I always ask them about what their assets and their weak points, targeting those as I plan my lessons.
I work to build and develop the students' self confidence because I believe it is essential when learning a language. I tailor each lesson for each student in order to work on their abilities and reach for their best. I use the student's skills and abilities to develop them and show them that they are able to do their best.
