About the lesson
MY APPROACH:
In my opinion, a good methodology is the road to success all exams and interviews. I support all my students guiding them through the expectations, giving them clear advice and instructions on how to achieve their goals and coaching them on an intellectual and interpersonal level so they become confident enough to reach their goals with the success they deserve.
Exams preparation can be taught in a fun and efficient way being based on expectations and course book but also on real-life situations with a particular focus on communication skills. The aim is to improve your knowledge of the subject for you to be able to demonstrate your confidence within that subject and to feel at ease with it whatever the expectations and kind of exams or interview process you will have to go through.
YOUR LESSONS:
The lessons are based on your needs and are tailored especially for you.
They cover all aspects of the exams / admission process, included interpersonal presentation. I always make sure to structure the lessons around the 4 language skills: methodology, exam based question and general communication and confidence advice. I incorporate grammar point, speaking practice, formal exercises and games to make sure that your language both written and speaking is at its best.
The lessons are based on the Curriculum specifically recommended for your exams / interview depending what you are applying for. It will be our reference and provide a guideline for your learning.
For students with previous knowledge, lessons are built around your existing knowledge in order to take you to the next level. Whatever the level you start from, I will give you homework and lessons to learn and practice in between lessons to embed the contents from the previous one and to be ready for the next one.
The learning material is provided and I am proud to provide each students with a specific follow-up which can be accessed in an online personal space. There are provided lessons, exercises or homeworks and extra resources for you to further your learning whilst not in the classroom!
In order to achieve those goals, I use a well-structured scheme of work following a step-by-step way of learning the structure which is required for the different exam types such as a dissertation, literary comment or synthesis for example. Thanks to my studies and experience, I am able to explain the technical points and the nuances of the language and exercices in a way which is easily understandable whilst never giving up on quality. I give a particular attention to accuracy and details and I always push my students to go an extra mile in their learning journey.

About Cecile
I am Cecile, a professional French native speaker and qualified teacher, with almost 10 years of experience, included 6 in the UK. I passed a Masters Degree in Teaching French Literature and Language after graduating in Literature, Philosophy and Humanities in France. I also hold a Master's degree in Teaching French as a Modern Foreign Language. I am a friendly and open-minded teacher with high standards and a love for methodology.
Having both taught in France and in England I have got a deep understanding of both cultures and educational system, hence I adapt my teaching according to your needs and expectations. Having worked both in state and independent schools give me a clear insight of the differences and similarities and how to adapt to each and succeed within each system.
I teach all ages and levels from complete beginners to advanced learners I can prepare you with exams such 11+ admission exam, A-level as well as IB and Baccalaureate, University statement and entrance, internship and interview preparation. I followed a PGCE course as well so I am up-to-date with the most recent exams specifications and requirements.
I offer small groups up to 4 and one-to-one sessions.
Groups can be organised depending availability with a maximum of 4 people per group of level to ensure efficiency. Groups are a great way to interact with other students, to build confidence, and to practice in a friendly still challenging environment whilst private session offer the benefit of having a teacher entirely dedicated to you and your needs.

For the last 6 years, I have taught to a wide range of students with a great variety of backgrounds and objectives. Having helped and trained many students I am convinced that my passion will benefit your learning.
Some were French expatriates preparing for entrance exam in British private schools, British children and teenagers integrating French schools, British bilingual young person willing to get to French universities and Preparatory Schools, French students preparing their return into French private Grammar schools or International British schools. They were all from various background and I taught them either as complete beginners or by adapting to their current level to take them to the next one.

Cécile & her team are organised, prepared & most importantly, French!
As the parent I have been impressed with the clear and prompt communication and open dialogue.
My daughter, as the student, has enjoyed the one to one tutoring, allowing her to learn & grow in confidence at her own rate. She has also appreciated the bespoke learning that focuses on areas she needs extra attention on.I would really recommend Go French Yourself to anyone looking to learn French! Cecile has been so great on the communication, setting everything up and making sure I'm happy, and I've been loving my lessons with Faustine. She's really great a adapting the lessons to suit my preferences and I really look forward to our sessions each week. Hopefully I'll be able to understand all my partners relatives in no time :)
Cécile arranged French lessons with Faustine for our 6 year old. Our son quickly felt at ease with Faustine and is happy at his lessons. He has started speaking French more confidently and always likes to share his latest news with Faustine.
Cécile is a very thoughtful tutor - caring in style and personalises lessons both to things she has noticed you’re weak at but also requests. I’ve improved my French speaking confidence no end including recapping important grammar and picking up aspects of modern and historical French culture
Cécile has been a brilliant tutor who has helped me maintain my level of French over the past five years. Her lessons were engaging and the work she prepared was tailored to my interests. Cécile also helped to guide me through my French A-Level in an organised and in-depth manner. I would highly recommend her as a tutor.

Cecile is a very good tutor who helped my daughter throughout her tough preparation of French Baccalaureat in Philosophy, History, Geography and Sc Politics. She is very reliable and has excellent various teaching skills. When COVID occured she was able to switch immediately from face to face to remote tutoring with the same professionalism and without any disruption. I recommend her with no hesitation.
