Engaging French tutor focused on adaptable language learning

Karine and Ed practiced French vocabulary and grammar, including past tenses (imparfait, passé composé), question formation, body parts, common ailments, and verb conjugations. Ed worked on identifying and using appropriate vocabulary in context. Next session will focus on health-related documents and emergency room vocabulary.

Karine taught basic French vocabulary, including colors, numbers, and animals, along with sentence construction for self-introduction. The learners, who attend Fordham University in The Bronx, practiced using gendered nouns and verbs and discussed French grammar concepts such as verb groups and subject pronouns. Karine assigned a worksheet for practicing animal names and a document for reviewing verbs and pronouns, with corrections provided for comparison.

Karine and Nishka reviewed French verb tenses, including present, passé composé, imparfait, future, and conditional tenses, focusing on their formation and usage. Nishka practiced identifying these tenses in a text and received clarification on their differences. For the next session, they plan to continue working on grammar exercises, focusing on distinguishing between passé composé and imparfait through reading and exercises, and briefly reviewing the conditional tense.

Karine worked with a student on French verb conjugations, focusing on 'être' and 'avoir,' and introduced new verbs through a game. The student, who attends Fordham University in The Bronx, needs to review basic verbs and exam-related vocabulary. The next lesson will cover the passive composite tense and review numbers and dates.

Karine conducted a French lesson with Colin, Cooper, and Megan. The children, Colin and Cooper, were introduced to basic French greetings, numbers, colors, and how to express their place of residence and preferences. Megan, an adult learner, focused on articulating her name, age, and where she lives in French. Karine plans to send follow-up documents and videos, with distinct resources for the younger and adult learners, to reinforce the material covered in the lesson.

Karine and a learner from North Hempstead worked on French grammar, focusing on the passé composé and imparfait tenses, including auxiliary verb selection and past participle agreement. The individual practiced exercises to differentiate between when to use 'être' or 'avoir' and to form past participles correctly. Karine assigned additional exercises for them to complete before the next lesson, with a focus on grammar.
