Jane

I am a very experienced teacher of French, having been a Head of MFL and an examiner and moderator for a AQA. I work closely with my students to understand their needs and requirements. In terms of tutoring. I am very much led by them in terms of determining whether they want to study a topic or to concentrate on individual skills, such as speaking or listening, which both can be quite difficult and daunting in an exam situation. Reading and writing also have their challenges and I have a wealth of resources and can guide students to the best websites and online resources to help them practice and perfect knowledge. Much of language learning can be quite daunting and requires practice outside of the classroom, I am very happy to help and to support building confidence, much needed if students are to be successful in their language learning. I am very knowledgeable about the AQA syllabi and can help with extracting what it is the examiners are looking for. Revision of a language can be overwhelming when seen as being a ‘quantity’ of information to learn, I can help ‘chunk’ revision so it feels more manageable. From feedback given to me by previous students, both privately and as a classroom teacher, I would say that I am organised, I am empathetic and approachable and that I am willing to give as much support and guidance as is needed to make the student feel ready for their exams. I look forward to helping you!
