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.
