About Devika
My French teaching approach is all about building confident, natural communication. I use rapid-fire drills and interactive exercises to help you think and respond in French without hesitation. Whether you’re new to the language or refining academic fluency, I tailor lessons to your pace and goals. We’ll focus on speaking speed, response timing, and grammar confidence through sentence-building games, pronunciation work, and daily conversation practice. These activities are designed to make your recall faster and more automatic. You'll get used to forming sentences quickly and correctly. I provide tools to help you handle real-world French with ease—whether at school, work, or in the community. If you’re an advanced learner focused on deeper fluency or linguistic accuracy, I’ll support you in mastering the fine points of French grammar and structure. Lessons are active and hands-on. You’ll speak more, listen better, and build strong habits. Mistakes are part of the process—we’ll use them to grow. Every session is about building flow, confidence, and comfort.

With over 5 years of experience as a French tutor and a BA in French Cultural Policy and Arts Management, I specialise in guiding advanced learners through the rich terrain of historical French language and literature. My academic background has equipped me with deep insight into the cultural and linguistic roots of French, which I bring into every session. I work closely with university students delving into Old French, historical linguistics, and the nuanced analysis of early French texts. I have a particular passion for epic poems, chivalric romances, and the foundational works of authors who shaped the medieval and early modern canon. From the Chanson de Roland to the lyrical finesse of Chrétien de Troyes, I help students navigate both the beauty and complexity of classical French narratives. Lessons often explore syntax shifts, semantic evolution, and the socio-cultural contexts that influenced linguistic transformation. For students pursuing research, I offer structured guidance on thesis development, textual analysis, and decoding archaic grammar with clarity. I’m committed to helping learners build strong interpretive skills and scholarly confidence. Whether you're preparing for graduate study or simply fascinated by French philology, I adapt my teaching to your goals.
