A one to one lesson often starts with a 5 minutes small talk in French followed by a recap of what was done in the previous lesson tackling possible questions.

New vocabulary or/and a grammar point will be presented in a variety of ways and often depending on the topic and the student's learning style.

Extensive practice will be provided through a whole range of activities, games and role-plays.

Once the student is comfortable with the new material, we go onto writing practice, exam practice and a recap of the focus of the lesson.

This is just an example, some students will want to develop conversational French based on literary texts or current affairs.

I strongly believe that the teaching style has to be adapted to suit the needs of the learner.
