About your french tutor
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!

I mostly take time to see how students need language topics to be structured for them to absorb the material well, fast and for the long term. I like to help them to reason through and in the language as this is a good way for them to acquire it and to use it effectively. I mostly ask students what problems they have, which topics they are having a difficulty with and what they believe they need to do to achieve. I am table to use traditional teaching methods, translation methods and also communicative methodology which I learned while training to teach in France. I often also create specific methods for individual students when they have a difficulty with a topic. I mostly like to teach adult students an exam candidates. I'm motivated by getting results for them and seeing them succeed. I'm lucky to work with many different methods.
