Teaching Approach
|
|
|
I teach on on Google Docs for the writing and skype or ICQ for the speaking.
I have a long experience in teaching in schools and online. My mother tongue is French.
70% of my teaching is speaking and listening, but it is adapted to the learner's need the rest is writing and reading.
Aft er each class my students receive a word file showing every detail of their class and eventually a writing or listening exercise to strengthen what they learned in class

Program Description
|
|
|
School learners of French often feel overwhelmed with the amount of work associated with a list of topics they are supposed to master in a short period of time. The sooner they get support, the faster they get back on track. What I offer is an immediate deconstructio n of the anxious feeling in order to get back into control. Going through these topics and receiving clear and easy explanations of key grammar rules when needed brings about clarity, a sense of interest, motivation... Confidence increases and talents can then freely and fully express. The fear of making mistakes becomes the opportunity to improve. Finally, learners have texts to produce for their exams. We make sure the A grade is reachable and high level of French language expressions are then added in order to reach the A star. For those who already do well, taking the French level to an even higher level with sophisticated expressions will make a great difference in all levels (speaking, writing, listening, reading). People have many other motivations for learning French online, the main one is usually being able to express in the French language on their holiday to a French speaking country. This is something I can really help you with. Freeing learners of limitations and uncovering the talents behind is a big move forward. Learning in a safe environment where feeling free to ask questions but also allowing oneself to make mistakes is key to success. Success is at the tip of your hand! Bienvenue!

Teaching Experience

My experience has been very important so here are just a few testimonials to make it shorter:
I man, UK Aug 20th 2015 Dear Stephen, I just wanted to let you know that I achieved an A* in my French iGCSE. I wanted to say thank you so much for your time and efforts that got me to this grade, I went from a B in my mock exam to an A*! I am now definitely moving on to do French at A level! Thank you again for your help Iman
Just wanted to tell you know that we had parent's evening at school the other night and Katie's French teacher praised her highly, remarking that she might even be the best in the year (126 students). So, THANK YOU!
Annette Rahr, England, May 2013
Steph en is a wonderful teacher and has a great way of teaching- obviously knows what he is doing- amazing and i have gained soo much from today
Kayli, England (Kayli is 14 years old, she has been my student for 15 months, started with me as a poor pupil at school, she now gets A stars at her exams, she got a B at her writing exam a few days ago which was excellent as her writing was very bad when we started together). She is very enthusiastic and she never gives up.
**** **********
After three months of learning French from you in order to pass my DELFA1 test that was required for my doctorate application to the Sorbonne - I did it. Your teaching method helped me to pass this test with a 94% mark. I appreciate how much you wanted me to succeed, which comes from your deep understanding of a human psyche. You are very understanding of the day to day pressures that I experienced while working full time and traveling abroad. You were always very patient and you always believed in me. You understand the process of learning a language, you guided me through this growing hence I feel that my achievement is a team work - I could have not done without you. You became a friend, a rock that I can rely on any time. You were always flexible with time and with listening to me needs. I could have not found a better French language teacher. I love our laughs we had, your intelligent insight to all matters be that spiritual or learning the language. I keep learning it more until I become fluent and hope to keep our friendship too.
Thank you and best wishes,
Gyor gyi, Italy/ Hungary

With Stephen, my confidence has sky rocketed. I used to be quite shy to speak just the few words of French I knew. Now I feel comfortable trying, even if my grammar or pronunciation will probably be incorrect. I’ve probably had about 15 lessons with him so far and I can already speak and read in the past, present, and future tenses. He’s positive and patient, he makes the lessons convenient (via Skype), and his lessons are so reasonably priced. I recommend him to all my friends and family who want to learn French.
