How to boost your French and/or Spanish conversation

Learn the tips and tricks to boost your French and Spanish conversation!
I am an experienced French and Spanish tutor who has lived in Peru, Paris and Barcelona. I have been tutoring for 3 years and over time I have identified what most students struggle with when learning a language. I understand how intimidating speaking in a foreign language can be and so I offer sessions that are tailored to each student's needs - be it grammar, general conversation or learning a wider range of vocab.

I graduated last year from Durham University with a BA in Modern Languages and Cultures, and I am now studying my MA in Broadcast Journalism in London. I love all things to do with language and communication and have 500 hours of tutoring experience.

FOR GCSE/A LEVEL STUDENTS:
I have tutored French and Spanish at both GCSE and A Level and have a good knowledge of what different exam boards require. I can help you avoid pronunciation pitfalls, share resources to improve your vocabulary, and refine your grammar knowledge so that verb conjugations become second nature. When enquiring about lessons, please specify which exam board you are studying.

About Me

I am an experienced and reliable French and Spanish tutor who has worked freelance alongside my studies for 3 years. I have worked as an English Language Assistant in Barcelona and Peru, as well as an ESL teacher/tutor while living abroad.
I am an enthusiastic and passionate tutor who has worked with young people and adults, as well as SEN pupils. I am based in South London and able to offer online and in-person classes, whatever the student is most comfortable with. Learning a language is so rewarding but I know how daunting it can be at times, and so I offer individualised classes focusing on the student's individual areas for improvement all the while sharing songs/podcasts and other materials that strengthen all-round knowledge of French culture.

Education

MA Broadcast Journalism, City University London 2022-present
BA Modern Languages and Cultures, Durham University (2017-2021)
I will be undertaking a TEFL qualification later this year.

Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

Hello!!! I would be thrilled to have you for student. We offer Spanish and Italian lessons at a native level and always make sure to keep a high-quality learning.

Do you need to prepare yourself for an interview? Well, you have chosen the right teacher! :-) I can make you discover the Spanish/Italian culture through the lessons and make sure that you will be able to speak properly Spanish/Italian once in Spain/Italy (or who knows Brazil... ;-) ). * Students taking their IB/ GCSEs/ A-Levels or other exams can be guaranteed to get the top grades (but you also need to do your homework and revise your notes ;-) ). I can also help students at the university in business, economics... * Students who are willing to learn Spanish/Italian for fun, let's do it! I can make the lessons fun for you and we can talk about many subjects. You have got a question? I'm waiting for you to send me a message. No questions?

Christophe
French: written/oral expression, grammar, conversation
Do you want to start learning French but have never learnt it before? Or maybe you want to perfect your understanding of French grammar, or your capacity to express yourself clearly, spontaneously and with confidence in French? Or work on pronunciation, perhaps improve your accent and learn more about French culture? I can help you with all of these, and not only because I was born and raised in France: after getting my Master's Degree in Lingustics and Anthropology from the School for Advanced Research in Paris - at the time I was also teaching private classes of French and English to high school and university students - I moved to the UK and studied theatre at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. There I worked on the skills any speaker needs to communicate clearly and convincingly: diction, voice projection, etc. These two approaches - linguistics, and theatre work - give me a strong foundation from which to help any student learn French. So jump on: we'll build a learning program tailored to your needs and make sure that the lessons are both dense and fun.

French lessons with a native speaker For every level
As a native French speaker living in such a cosmopolitan and diverse city as London, I believe that a lot of people would like to learn French. we would evaluate your level with a simple conversation to get to know each other and see if we’re compatible as a student/teacher, and start planning a timeline for your objectives. Then I will adapt the class depending on your level, your expectations. It could be either conversations to practice speaking, more school-oriented classes, more work-oriented ones...
