French 5: langue et culture

I discovered Adult Education a couple of years after arriving in the UK through a friend who taught French. I was hooked; I never looked back and committed my career to provide learning to everybody irrelevant of age, social background, faith. On occasions, I have made a big change in people’s lives and for me this has been the most rewarding aspect. Moreover, I just love teaching. This is a passion. I consider that as a tutor you should always evolve. I constantly apply this idea while preparing for this course, with the aim to provide the best learning environment possible.

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Anais et je viens d'un petit village près de Nice. I have an MA in Literature, I qualified as a teacher in France before living abroad. I have been teaching French as a foreign language for the past 14 years to students of different age groups. I believe that, above all, learning should be a joy. I provide well-structured, clearly aimed lessons with authentic resources to accommodate various learning profiles and learning preferences. I understand the need for students to build their confidence in a relaxed learning atmosphere, with the right level of challenge, guided by constructive feedback. I encourage my students to carry on learning independently, for e.g. with quality online resources. I like to feel intellectually stimulated. Hopefully, my many interests provide the variety and depth to keep my students interested!
