Mathilde

Bonjour,
My name is Mathilde, I was born and raised in Brittany, a beautiful region of France and I am passionate about languages! I speak English and French fluently, I also speak Spanish and I am currently learning Italian.
I have an English degree from La Sorbonne, Paris and I also studied French translation in UCL, one of the top universities in Europe.

Willing to travel: 4 miles

Experience: I`ve supported many children in their education and I worked in various schools.
I currently work in a high school with students either preparing for the GSCE exams or French A-Level. In class or in private tutoring, I make sure that my students understand every aspect of the lesson. I try and adapt to every student`s needs, working on the four important language-learning skills, that is speaking, listening, reading and writing. I make sure to introduce or revise key vocab and basic grammar points, essential before any in-depth work.
I provide my students with various and interesting cultural resources to develop an interest for the language and the culture, so that it becomes fun and easy.
Though I maximise the use of the target language, I never let something unclear, because unanswered questions or doubts tend to make students give up. So communication is key to progress.
I want my students to feel confident in the language and this is done by creating a friendly, adapted and supportive environment.
Contact me if you have questions, I look forward to hear from you!
