Learning French has always been considered a very difficult task,

but what does it really take?

Well, first of all, motivation is essential. On top of deciding to start learning French, one must be determined. Why ? Because learning a new language, especially during adulthood, requires commitment. Beside attending your weekly lessons, you should spend time revising and practising, this includes : browsing through your notes, doing additional exercises, watching French movies, listening to French songs, talking with your French speaking friends or colleagues… anything that can get you to use what you have learnt during the class, and anything that can get you more familiar with the language, the way it sounds, the way it is spoken.

The more you increase the frequency and duration of your exposure to the language, the faster and easier learning French will be.

Experience: I have been providing language support to professionals and students of all ages, from primary school to university level. Whatever the level I teach, I make sure the resources used are both adequate and challenging. I also break material down into easy-to-understand concepts. I have also designed a 30 days French tuition programme using PowerPoint interactive resources which makes the learning more interesting for students.

I have also created individualised plans and programmes to facilitate a targeted, personalised approach to education while stimulating students’ enjoyment and appreciation for the French language and culture.
I have employed a wide array of instructional techniques, instructional media, and technological tools—including hand-outs, presentations, videos, online activities, and foreign language laboratory assignments—to facilitate improved language abilities.

I know how important it is to make the student feel relaxed, which in turn helps them become ready to learn.
