I offer French, Spanish and ESL (all levels) to children of all ages and adults

I have been a passionate and empathetic foreign language teacher since 2001, working with every age group. I listen to my student's needs and make an assessment of his or her ability, learning style and personality, in order to personalise my lessons to that person's needs and accelerate their growth in the language. I use all kinds of digital resources, interactive platforms (in the case of English, from many from Cambridge English sources, such as Write and Improve, which offer immediate feedback, and I create a Google Drive folder for each student in order to keep documents, student work, resources and the means to look back at previous lessons when planning forward. I establish goals with the student and the steps to reach those goals, so the student understands what he or she needs to get done in between lessons, particularly in the case of exam preparation. For converstational classes, we refer to previous lessons' vocabulary and grammar before proceeding to the next steps (strengthening skills from previous content, or starting something new, which I find ways to attach to previous lessons, so that there is a natural and coherent transition of content, skills and levels.). If the student wishes, I also play guitar, sing and have successfully managed to get even the most recalcitrant students - teens and adults, not just primary school students - to sing along or even on their own, using songs with the target language and with particular grammar focus. I use these varied approaches with my French and Spanish lessons as well.
