About Me

I have more than ten years’ experience as an MFL teacher in primary school teaching French and/or Spanish and I am currently working as Head of Languages at Yarlet School, an independent preparatory school for boys and girls. I actually teach French and Spanish from year 1 to year 8 and I also prepare pupils for the Iseb French Common Entrance Exam at the end of year 8.

I am deeply passionate about teaching languages and particularly enjoy teaching at primary level. I regularly use Makaton sign language and songs (see video) in my lessons, a memory tool I have found to be particularly effective, especially for those who find MFL challenging. I use various language assessment strategies to actively assess the four key language learning skills; speaking, listening, reading and writing. I ensure my online lessons promote independent inquiries, are child-centred, interactive, effective and fun.

Sandra
Spanish as a Foreign Language (From Basic to Advanced)
I am a Cambridge-educated social scientist with extensive experience in the education sector and international communications. Trained as a journalist and academic, I possess a specialised command of the Spanish language and grammar. My transdisciplinary training and my knowledge of various educational systems, given my teaching work in Canada, Chile and the United Kingdom, allows me to provide a comprehensive vision to each student and adapt to multiple scenarios and needs. I teach Spanish as a foreign language from a basic to an advanced level. It will be a pleasure to accompany you on your way to immerse yourself in the language and its cultural context. My motto is always to find a way to motivate my students and make them progress according to their needs and goals. In my class, you will find an abundant use of visual resources to stimulate memory and a flexible approach to achieve comprehensive language command from everyday life situations to specialised topics. My courses include: - Spanish courses for specific purposes (tourism, academic, business). - Spanish grammar / Use of language / Language Skills Practicum. - Language through culture (Hispano-American cinema, music and popular culture)

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
