Serena

I am a French native and I’ve been living in the UK for 8 years after passing my degree in Librarianship. I also have a Baccalaureate Diploma - the French equivalent to A-levels - in French literature, Foreign Languages and Philosophy. I first started to teach six years ago and I grew an immediate passion for teaching my native language.

Availability: I`m a full-time tutor and I usually arrange lessons whenever it`s best for both students and me.

I am available for tutoring in Newcastle City Centre and in the surrounding area.

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: I teach French full-time, and I can provide lessons for learners of all ages and levels. I can also tutor academic students preparing for exams: so far I have tutored four students preparing for French iGCSE, AQA GCSE and AQA A-levels.
Students say that I am a dynamic and engaging tutor. I always encourage people to speak and help them to grow their confidence. I’m also very flexible: each of my lessons are carefully planned depending on my students’ individual needs, and I make sure to give regular feedback.
As a speciality, I like to include board games in my teaching, so students can learn and have fun at the same time. I regularly organise local events that combine board games and the French language, and which are very successful.
I’m always looking for opportunities to meet new students. As a learner of Spanish, I’m also looking for somebody who would fancy doing a language exchange with me (preferably with a Spanish native speaker). Please message me if you are interested.
On top of teaching, I provide other services such as proofreading, interpreting and translating. Please feel free to contact me if you want more information.
