About your french tutor
Bonjour! I'm Isabelle, a French tutor/teacher with a Bachelor in Education and a minor in French. I have also a Master in Leadership and Administration. My teaching philosophy focuses on creating an engaging learning environment for students of all levels. I taught French for 13 years now. I believe in using interactive methods to promote active learning and enhance comprehension. My focus is to make sure that my students understand and feel happy about what they have learned. Each student is special and learn differently. As a result, I believe that understanding the 9 multiple intelligences is key for a teacher to be successful. I also believe that anyone can learn if they are motivated. So stop thinking and let's jump together into the magical world of French, la langue de Molière!

Mme Bagassien is teaching Isabel (and "m") French, focusing on pronunciation, vocabulary (house-related), and grammar (passé composé, prepositions, negation). The lessons emphasize sentence structure, identifying verbs, and applying grammatical rules. Isabel struggles with a language exercise, and Mme Bagassien advises focusing on verb identification and negation placement before meaning. The next lesson is Monday due to the July 4th holiday.
