Online French Tutor elodie

I am fun, enthusiastic and creative and my approach to learning a language follows these principles - it should be a positive and exciting experience, not a painful task!
I am very organised and dedicated to my students who all receive an all-rounded service from me, in and outside of the classroom. My classes are not ‘pre-packaged’, they are all prepared and structured around the current knowledge, rhythm and need of each student. In my opinion it is really what makes lessons with a private tutor so much more valuable and rewarding in the long run for a student. Everything in my classes is very personalised and I really care about working around the specific interests and specificity of each student too when I prepare exercises, homework or give a book or article recommendation. I prepare all the documents that the student need for each lesson and the process is very organic, smooth yet very structured.
My approach to learning a language is focused on positivity, the time spent together should be an exciting and immersive experience, not a painful task!
Every tutoring lesson has three parts:
• Pre- tutoring homework: generally sent by email, marked and examined during lessons
• Tutoring: step by step analysis of any questions that you might be struggling with, focusing on isolating and correcting the part of the process which you are struggling with.
• Homework: generally given afterwards by email, after being adjusted to suit the student's needs.

I am also currently learning Italian for my doctorate, which I had to learn from scratch with a teacher, and this experience has also given me a unique chance to fill the shoes of my students, as I myself can experience the many challenges, struggles but also breakthroughs that they themselves face on their journey towards French fluency.

I bring extensive one-on-one teaching experience with students of diverse levels and abilities - common entrance exam, AQA, Edexcel, DELF, amongst others. This supported by my academic training from my bachelor’s degree through to my current doctoral studies. This background has given me a deep understanding of both French and English, their structures, and their key differences, allowing me to tailor instruction effectively. Having lived in England for 17 years after growing up in France, I am uniquely positioned to help students draw meaningful parallels between the two languages and cultures, offering them a richer and more practical learning experience.
