Graham

Lived in France. Worked for Anglo-French companies. Passionate linguist. Every student is different and so receives a tailored approach. My mother taught French at `A` level and from the age of seven I travelled extensively throughout continental Europe. I worked for various Anglo-French organisations and lived in South-West France for several years, becoming immersed in the culture - even learning some patois! Hence I can teach at different levels including oral, written, grammar, colloquial etc. I can teach French as it is taught in British schools and I can also teach conversational French - the way the French actually speak their own language, either in the city or in rural areas. So I can teach you to pass an exam but I can also teach how to avoid sounding like a BBC announcer from the 1950`s! Not only do I tailor the lessons to a student`s specified practical requirements, I also take into account their own unique way of learning, which may include using the VAK Learning Styles Model: visual, auditory, kinesthetic. This empathetic approach allows me to maximise their potential by focusing on their strengths and using those strengths to help them with their challenges.

Availability: I`m available to tutor weekdays between 10:00 and 17:00 UK time.
