French classes overview
My teaching approach is student-centered and tailored to the specific needs of each individual. I begin by identifying their strengths, weaknesses, and overall goals for learning the language, then develop a personalised plan to help them succeed. For beginners, I introduce core concepts in a simplified, accessible way using repetition and engaging activities to build confidence and understanding. As their skills develop, I adapt my methods to suit their learning pace and progress. For students preparing for their GCSEs, I go beyond language instruction by offering targeted exam preparation—guiding them on how to approach different question types and structure their answers effectively for the best possible results.

They agreed to meet again next week to continue working on these concepts.
