Bonjour! My name is Natasha, and I'm thrilled to be your French tutor on this language-learning journey. With a passion for French language and culture, I'm dedicated to helping you achieve your language goals in a fun, interactive, and supportive environment.
Education:
I hold a Degree in French from the University of Leeds and a PGDE in Leadership in Education from Birmingham City University which I obtained as part of the Teach First graduate scheme. Throughout both these courses, I honed my language skills and deepened my understanding of French grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
With over six years of dedicated teaching experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my French tutoring sessions. Having had the privilege of teaching in two prestigious schools for a total of six years, I've had the opportunity to work with diverse student populations and hone my skills as an educator. My roles have ranged from classroom instructor to Head of Department, where I led curriculum development initiatives and mentored fellow teachers. Through these experiences, I've gained invaluable insights into effective pedagogical strategies and have developed a deep understanding of the learning needs and challenges faced by students. I am passionate about fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore the beauty and intricacies of the French language.
My tutoring approach is centered around fostering both confidence and accuracy in French language acquisition. With a dynamic and engaging teaching style, I leverage my natural charisma to infuse each lesson with energy and excitement. By creating a supportive and encouraging environment, I empower my students to take risks, make mistakes, and ultimately grow in their language proficiency. I aim to make learning French not only effective but also enjoyable. By incorporating humor, creativity, and cultural insights into my lessons, I strive to inspire a genuine passion for the language while ensuring that students develop the skills they need to communicate with confidence and precision.
