FRENCH TUTORING FOR BEGINNERS AND HIGH SCHOO STUDENTS
course price icon
From 21.54 C$ /h
arrow icon
French is one of the most spoken languages in Africa and in Europe. As a fluent French speaker, I have decided to teach French to beginners and high school students. My experience as a French tutor has broadened my teaching style. I teach according to the student's needs and ability to learn French.

I am qualified to teach English to Non-English speakers. I have a certificate in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). Teaching a language is a passion. I enjoy seeing a student get better at speaking French or/and English.
Extra information
I am very patient, always willing to correct with sympathy.
I can assist with preparation for French tests and exams. I am available after hours, if need be, to discuss course contents further.

About Me
My experience as a tutor has increased my knowledge on the teaching methods that work best to teach a language. I have realised that we are smart in our own way and we learn differently so I have grown to be very patient with my students. I love teaching the languages I speak fluently because it makes me happy to see a student learn and get better every lesson.
I am a native French speaker. I understand that it is not an easy language to learn, that is why I do my best to teach in a way that the student learns effectively.

English lesson plan:
Some of the things that will be covered in the lesson:
Phonics: Refers to the sounds in words and the symbols (letters of the alphabet) used to represent them. It is an important tool in both reading and writing.
Types of nouns:
Nouns are the names of people, places, things and emotions or feelings.
There are four types of nouns:
1. Common nouns names things:
Example: books, pens, schools, teachers

Example: Love, hate, happiness
4. Collective nouns, names of a group of things:
Example: A pride of lions, a team of soccer players, a school of fish
Determiners – articles
Articles are special adjectives that are used before nouns.
• Indefinite article: a book, an apple
• Definite article: the book, the furniture, the apples

Pronouns
Pronouns take the place of a noun and must refer back to the noun.
Adjectives
Adjectives give us information about nouns. They are placed before the noun or after verbs.
Descriptive adjectives
Descriptive adjectives tell us more about the noun.
Examples: Green roofs, yellow bricks
Demonstrative adjectives
Demonstrative adjectives point to a specific noun.
Examples: This dog, that cat
Adverbs, Verbs, Preposition
Prepositions show the relationship between two nouns or pronouns.
Common prepositions include: above, across, at, below, behind, by, from, for, in,
near, though, over, under and with.
• Past tense, present tense, future tense.
• Concord and modal.
• Active and passive voice.
• Logical connectors.

Exclamation mark:
The exclamation mark is used to show a sharp cry, a loud statement or an emotional outburst.

Example: He ran – no matter the weather – every night.
Dashes can also be used to show that there has been a change of idea or thought.
Example: She left – does it matter?
