Solenne Jourdain

Bonjour et bienvenue !

My name is Solenne, I am a French native from Paris and I have been living in the UK since 2013.
Holder of a Master’s degree (Universities of La Sorbonne and René Descartes), my education also includes the DAEFLE of the Alliance Française de Paris (Teaching French as a Foreign Language Advanced Diploma) awarded with honours in 2014.

Teaching Experience:

This is my twelfth year as a French as a Second/Foreign Language (FLE) full-time Tutor. I feel equally comfortable with beginners, intermediate or advanced learners. I am also a French language Instructor and Assessor for the british Ministry of Defence (MoD) and a Tutor for the National Crime Agency (NCA).

Teaching Approach:

Tutoring is not just guiding students through their learning but also giving them confidence and enabling them to experience lessons in a relaxed, friendly and yet result-oriented way.
That is why I tailor my lessons to the students` needs and pace (one-to-one or small group tutoring on request), in order to teach French language effectively as well as to raise awareness to the French culture.

My approach is action-oriented, based on the ability of students to communicate (speaking ; listening ; reading ; writing) in authentic situations, according to the Common European Framework of references for Languages (CEFR).

Tuition fees:
AS/A-Level or Highers (£45 p.h.)
Further/Higher (university) (£50 p.h.)
DELF/DALF (£45 p.h.)
Adult/Casual learner (£37 p.h.)

Home tutoring supplement: +£8
