Alain Dario

I am very keen to teach French to whoever feels the need to learn that language. I am enthusiastic and friendly and ready to help you and make you succeed along the way.
My Motto:
''I'll make you succeed if others have given up on you or if you need some extra help.''
''I'll brush up your knowledge of French or start from scratch to make you confident in that language.''
With me, you will succeed!

Tutoring Experience

I am currently doing daily supply across London primary schools. I am bilingual with fluency in French. I taught French for 10 years abroad. Even though I am a primary trained teacher, my knowledge of french is wide and thus I can teach not only young children, but teenagers and adults as well. I have a very good pronunciation. I believe this is a very important factor to take into consideration when you are a French teacher.

Tutoring Approach

I use different techniques to cater for the different needs of my students. I focus on the listening and responding and speaking skills primarily (conversation, using audio files etc ). This way the students have a working knowledge of the language to communicate readily orally. I make sure the lessons are interesting by questioning and praising the students (encouraging them to use the target language as much as possible). I grade the lessons so that they feel they are apt to succeed. I focus, also, on reading skills and writing skills by teaching the sound system of the language and the grammar, vocabulary etc in a way that make it easier to grasp. I usually give handy tips and tricks to master the language!
