Anne - Sandwich - French

Methodology

I've been teaching French for over 20 years during which time my students have mostly obtained A or A* for their GCSE, AS and A Level exams, as my testimonials show.
Hard copies of recommendations are available.

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

I teach French from GCSE all the way up to Degree Level. I specialize in the teaching of French Grammar.
I enjoy teaching face to face as well as on Skype.

- Tell me about your qualifications.

After living in Paris for 20 years where I worked in Advertising, I returned to London to do a B.A (Hons) course in Film and Video. I am bilingual as my parents moved to London when I was 4 years old. I started to teach French as a private tutor in the evenings to support myself through the Film Course at the London College of Printing and found that I enjoyed teaching.

- How much do you charge?

I charge £30 per hour for GCSE and £35 for AS & A Levels and Degree Level. I will charge £30 for last minute cramming.

The price is less per hour if I see a student for more than an hour a week. 2 hours at GCSE Level = £20 per hour. 2 hours AS, A and degree Levels = £30 per hour.

- Where do you teach?

I teach from my home in Sandwich which is accessible to students living in Ash, Wingham, Eastry, Deal, Walmer and Dover.
I also enjoy reaching on Skype.

- When are you available?

I'm available from 9 am to 8 pm Mondays to Fridays and from 10 am to 12 am on Saturday mornings.

I'm also available throughout the school holidays.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

I teach children from 14 to 17 years for their French exams and adults from intermediary to advanced levels.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

I teach children for GCSE, AS and A Levels French.
I teach adults at University Level.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

Students need to make a preliminary booking for the time they wish their online lesson to be at as well as the duration. I'm also available on Skype.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

It's essential for pupils to know their tenses and their grammar so as to be capable of standing on their own two feet without having to resort to learning a text by heart for their oral exam or having to wade in murky waters for their written test.

For those adults who are not taking exams but simply wish to improve their conversational skills, I believe that they need to show a true interest for the culture they're venturing in. Curiosity and perseverance combined with hard regular work are key to a positive outcome.
