Delfina Azevedo - French tutor in Houston

Some years ago I helped a student in India to an overall exam result of 96%. She started lessons with me at 44% and I got her to 82%. At that point she was teacher independent and got herself from 82% to 96% on her own, completely without lessons. Another had an A Star at IGCSE, and yet another got 90% also at IGCSE. I have been very good over my career at making students independent an able to reason and function in French so that they speak and / or write with fluency. If you apply the guidelines that I can give you, you can achieve excellence in French as well. I have been privileged to work with students that have been able to teach me a lot about my work. I am driven by their need to learn in their own way. I have taught language topics many times over, but never exactly the same way. Each student needs to learn from their particular angle. Bon courage!
