I provide verbal feedback in class and short written feedback to the parent after the class.Class Experience
After a One Time class to evaluate your student's level in French, this ongoing class will help them to improve their speaking and listening. Reading and writing skills can also be covered with older children, as required. The classes can function as a homework support lesson, to help them understand a tricky topic and to provide extra examples! The class can also be an opportunity for me to help your child progress with their French learning. I use fun activities in this class. I love French, but it took time to master some of the grammar, so I know the struggle and the benefits of persevering! I try to inject some fun in to French classes at every level, so the class may include games and songs that are relevant to the topic we are covering.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their speaking and listening skills in French. For older students, I am happy to look at some basic reading and writing skills in French. They will move towards mastery of topics they have struggled with.

Hi and Bonjour from the U.K. Thank you for looking at my profile and considering my classes for your children. I love teaching here on Outschool.
I am Kim Wark. I am English. I was born and brought up in London, but moved to Leeds for university and have lived in Yorkshire ever since.
1) I offer French classes to students of all ages and levels, from 4 year olds to 18 year olds, from Kindergarten to High School level. Classes may include singing, role play, storytelling and games. I have lived and worked in France and spend most school holidays there. I am looking forward to sharing my love of French with your child. When I am in France I teach classes from local places of interest.
2) I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and French and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education to teach French and English at secondary school (ages 11-18) and all subjects at Primary Level (ages 4-11).
I also have further qualifications in Special Educational Needs, including autism.
As part of my degree course I taught English for a year in a French school. I have taught pupils aged 3-18 in schools (state, private and Special Schools), students aged 16+ at Colleges and tutored individual students. Here on Outschool I teach students from around the world.
I home-schooled my younger son, who is autistic and has learning difficulties, for 8 years. I discovered the Montessori method and it worked really well for him. I have used a Montessori approach with pupils, including those with SEND.
3) My philosophy has always been to help children do their very best. I have been privileged to teach some amazing children who have made progress beyond what was predicted for them. I was thrilled to celebrate their success with them.
4) When I was about 5 years old my mum took me to a Horse Show because our late queen, Elizabeth II, was attending. Apparently, I piped up in the loud, clear voice of a 5-year-old, 'Mummy, where is the Queen?' She was standing right in front of me, but I didn't recognise her because she wasn't wearing her crown!!! So embarrassing!!!
