For each tailor-made 60-minute one-to-one lesson, at no extra cost, I will:

  • Provide you with free online learning material based on documents regarding the European/ International Institutions
  • If you wish, give you homework for you to complete before the following lesson
  • Correct your homework (Most teachers do not offer this additional work but it is crucial in order to make real & quick progress!)

Give a small presentEXTRA: In addition to the lessons and the homework and in order to practice your French on a daily basis, I will create online flashcards and games you can use with different devices like your mobile, tablet, computer etc. 

A language cannot be learnt in isolation, and therefore you will also work on your command of general language skills. As part of this, you will take a systematic approach to grammar, vocabulary development, and skills work. All the lessons are truly tailor-made courses and customisable. I will listen to you and adapt and modify them where and when appropriate. To discuss your needs and course content, please contact me.
