Classes from A1 to C2 level of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). A1 - A2 Beginners Let’s start learning French! With this course you will learn the basic elements and key phrases of the French language from the very beginning. You might know a few words and expressions already, but what about making your visit more authentic by interacting with people once you are there? The exercises and activities in this course will build your confidence with useful expressions, pronunciation, grammar practice, verb drills (present tense of most common verbs) and speaking/listening activities, games and quizzes will be included along the way. The syllabus: French language sounds are unique, so you need to know how to pronounce each sound correctly. This course will aim not only at building your confidence when speaking French but also to sound French! Greetings, formal and informal address; how to introduce yourself/ introduce others, ask for something in cafés and restaurants, giving/exchange details, understanding numbers and prices, talking about jobs and family, where you live; asking and understanding directions and other basic vocabulary when going around shopping; you will also learn some cultural traits and fun facts about French people. B1 - B2 Intermediate Now that you know some French, why not improve your language skills further?The intermediate course is structured around grammar activities (such as prepositions, combined articles and pronouns), verb drills (past tenses, progressive forms, future tense), comprehension activities, short stories, common idiomatic expressions, games and quizzes. The syllabus: describing people, booking hotels, booking accommodation online and via emails, more about numbers, describing places, expressing admiration, enquiring about services such as public transport; talking about homes, finding a house; expressing likes and dislikes, shopping (markets), buying shoes and clothes, expressing preferences, writing invitations, giving your opinion, making suggestions, buying tickets, understanding directions, describing situations in the past; making plans for the future. C1 - C2 Advanced The advanced course is designed for students who already know French but want to take their knowledge further in order to hone their skills in all aspects of the language learning. With the advanced course, the student will have the opportunity to learn the grammar and vocabulary acquired with the intermediate course, but more in depth with more listening and practical activities and role play. The focus of this course is to prepare the student to live in a French speaking country. The teaching approach will also include a variety of newspapers articles (short at the beginning and longer articles as the student progresses further). The articles are used as conversation topics in order to hone vocabulary and grammar skills. Short videos from trusted resources will also be used for speaking practice during the class to boost fluency and to learn new common expressions. This course may include writing tasks about specific topics which the student will discuss during the class with the teacher. The syllabus: Includes talking about saying what you have done recently using a variety of verbs and expressions, referring to events in the past using the imperfect tense and the past tense, understanding the weather forecast, making suggestions, understanding and giving instructions, comparing things, giving reasons, solving problems, discussing preferences, asking for and giving advice, talking about holidays, making plans for the future.

Hi, I’m Susie and I deliver personal, professional one-to-one and group tuition for adults online via Skype and Zoom for English (ESL), French, Spanish and Italian.  I have been teaching since 2013 and is my full-time job.  I am passionate about languages and I absolutely love sharing my joy for languages with others! Whether you want to brush up on your holiday phrases, pass an exam or move abroad, I can help.  Regardless of your language level (or lack thereof!), I will coach you to reach your potential and maximise your results, while having a great time learning. As a former student of the Open University, I fully understand the challenges of studying solo and of juggling work, study and personal life. I like to think of myself as a personal trainer for languages; I will be your guide, show you how to achieve great results, but I can’t do the work for you. You get out what you put in; being able to set aside time to study or incorporate your learning into your daily life will be just as important as your lessons.  During your first lesson, we can discover your current level or start from scratch if we need to, as well as create a learning plan tailored to your skillset and interests. It’s never a problem to adapt our plan to cater for Specific Learning Differences or personal preferences, so please do share your learning preferences with me; you can have confidence that I am never, ever going to laugh or be disappointed in your level.  My experience has taught me that confidence is by far the biggest obstacle on the road to learning a language, not aptitude, as you may think or may have been told in the past. I will be there to support you every step of the way on the journey, so you can stop worrying right now about not being good enough. Stop comparing yourself to others; you are unique and the only thing you need to focus on is your own journey.  I have a wealth of experience in exam preparation, in particular for IELTS & Cambridge FCE & CAE exams for English and GCSE & A-level for French & Spanish. Most of my sessions over the years have been delivering tuition to one or two students at a time, however I have run sessions for groups of up to 15 adults. Included within the price, you will receive exclusive access to all of our online teaching materials – accessible during your lessons and 24/7 for self-study to support your learning. I am a full-time tutor, so I offer very flexible hours for my tutoring services and I always endeavour to reply to all enquiries/ correspondance as soon as possible. I work as an independent tutor, as I like to guarantee you consistency, reliability and commitment to you.  Subjects taught: - French & Spanish: KS3, GCSE, iGCSE, A-level (Spanish only) and adult tuition (beginner & intermediate). - English as a Second Language (ESL/ ESOL students): All levels, including preparation for the following exams: Cambridge FCE, CAE, PET, IELTS General Training and Academic, PTE academic and ESOL access exams levels 1-3.  Since 2020, I have been teaching beginner Italian.  I have a competent level of Italian, including a strong understanding of the grammar, which I use with my Italian friends and when travelling in Italy.  If you are looking for beginner Italian for personal interest, conversation, casual use and travel, I can definitely help.  I do not have any official qualifications in Italian, however my background in romance languages (Italian is a Latin-based language which, broadly speaking, I find to have a very similar vocabulary to Spanish with the grammar of French!) and my methodical nature means I would ensure that every lesson is thoroughly planned and carefully checked; I would never teach you anything I am unsure of, as this can be greatly detrimental.  I am not available to help with exam preparation for Italian or to teach more advanced levels.  My lack of qualifications in this subject and the fact that I am not fluent are the reasons that Italian lessons are offered at a lower rate per hour than my other subjects.     What you can expect: A flexible approach & lessons tailored to suit you. A specialist in young adult and adult pedagogy. Flexible tutoring, Monday-Thursday 9am-9pm, Friday 9am-3pm. Responses to all correspondence within 24 hours (working hours, otherwise next working day). Development of all key language skills - reading, listening, speaking & writing. Follow my recommended course or cherry-pick the topics you wish to cover for specific purposes. Gain confidence with conversation for real-life essential situations, not just in a text book Exam preparation and study tips. Discover the culture surrounding your chosen language too; music, film, festivals, celebrations & traditions. Learn modern colloquialisms, idioms and sayings that will impress the natives  Exclusive access to all of my online teaching materials, accessible in class and at home for self-study.   My qualifications: Open University (2013) - 1st Class BA (Hons) Modern Language Studies Open University (2012) - Diploma in French (Other) Open University (2012) - Diploma in Spanish (Other) 150-hour TEFL/ ESL master course, accredited by ACTDEC Understanding IELTS, British Council (6-week course) Understanding language, University of Southampton (4-week course) Cultural studies & modern languages, University of Bristol (4-week course) Dyslexia & foreign language teaching, Lancaster University (4-week course)
