Beginner - Advanced Level
In this personalized French language tutoring session, your learner will receive individualized support, whether they need help with classroom concepts or want to focus on specific areas of their French learning. I use fun, communication-based methods like TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling), comprehensible input, and guided speaking practice to help learners actively engage and expand their vocabulary. What will be taught? Your learner will improve their French language skills through interactive and meaningful communication. We can focus on classroom topics or anything specific your learner wants to work on—whether that’s conversational practice, grammar in context, listening comprehension, or reading. The topics will be based on your learner’s goals. Areas we might explore include: - Vocabulary or language structures for everyday conversation or specific scenarios. - Grammar practice integrated into conversations, without isolated drills. - Reading and listening comprehension using engaging stories and content. Class structure: Each session is customized to your learner’s needs. We’ll start by discussing their goals, and I’ll design activities that allow them to practice using French in real-life, communicative contexts—like creating stories, answering questions, or practicing speaking and conversations based on their interests. How will I teach? I use communication-based methods like TPRS and comprehensible input to immerse learners in French through stories and conversations. While I don’t teach grammar directly, I can help your learner practice grammar in context and guide them in using it naturally. The focus is on practical usage and active language development. Teaching style: My teaching style is flexible, engaging, and student-centered. I create a positive environment where learners feel comfortable experimenting with the language and staying engaged. Learner interaction: This is an interactive, learner-driven class where students actively speak, listen, and respond. We’ll use storytelling, discussions, and exercises to practice French in a natural and enjoyable way. If your learner has a specific area they’d like to work on, feel free to reach out, and I’ll tailor the lessons to fit their needs.
