Nicholas

Experienced Secondary French teacher available for everything from Early years to Primary, Secondary catch-up to intensive GCSE /A level prep aa well as adult conversation classes.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching for over 10 years and have spent many of those years as a Head of Department in languages and/or Head of Year. As well as having a native-level knowledge and understanding of the French language from growing up in Toulouse, I also know how the education system works and exactly what you have to do to get the grades. I have now had a number of tutees from younger to A level.

Tutoring Approach

How a session runs will depend entirely on the needs of the tutee. As a teacher, I know what is required to pass exams and, if this is a focus for you, it will be at the forefront of what we do in tutoring sessions. However, as a keen linguist, I also understand the value of having a deeper understanding of the language and will encourage conversational ability with the language and enjoyment of the language learning process. A tutee’s self-esteem and positive mental health is always a focus for me.
