Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to: - consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling - improve their language skills (allophone students) - improve their speaking skills (conversation classes) -profect the written expression - prepare for ECR exams - prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion) - help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation - work on argumentative texts - acquire a method to analyze literary texts - learn how to perform bibliographic research The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing. For help with writing: The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson. For analyzes of oral literary texts: In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage. For the corrections of end of studies work: so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting. Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone. For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages. For adults (FLE): In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website). The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling. Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

1- Customization: In either, an individual or group class, the lessons will be tailored to your needs, your time, and your interests. 2- Stress-free: I'm going to motivate you until you forget you are learning! Do you know that type of “dry content” -grammar, vocabulary, conjugations, etc.-? You are going to learn without noticing it if you are open to make mistakes and laugh! We are going to focus is on the satisfaction of feeling capable of acquiring a new and vibrant skill. And THEN is where the magic happens: confidence is the new protagonist of the journey. 3- Culture: Based on the fact that every language is a living entity, all my lessons’ content is linked to social and cultural factors. Spanish, a widespread language, offers such a great cultural variety, in so many areas, that those who immerse in this language can’t avoid embracing empathy. 4- Love: My own personal goal for all my students is to fall in love with Spanish. I want to spark in them the desire to continue developing the language as a skill for their lifetime, not only for a test. 5- Fun: Teaching Spanish is my passion. When you put your heart and your biggest effort there’s only ONE result: a happy ending.

In these classes we will study one or more GCSE/A-Level texts in detail. Over a two-week period we will look at the themes, context, characters and criticism of a GCSE/A-Level text and work on how these parts of a piece of literature can be brought together for an examination answer. The text(s) studied can be what you are going to be examined on, as a refresher or extra revision help. The text(s) could also be other pieces of literature on your exam board that you aren't going to study, as a way to expand your reading and become familiar with GCSE/A-level texts. Either way, we will practice thinking and writing critically so that you can blow the examiners away for your examinations.

Come and join me and together we can find your voice, get the ball rolling and give you the little starter tips that will help you to unlock your greatest power - your voice. I'm Ché, an actor/writer and director from Manchester. Living in London. When I was 15 a lot of stuff was happening in my life, I felt powerless, like talking about it would be a burden. I also struggled to say what I was thinking and sometimes my mouth couldn't keep up with my brain. So I bought myself some pens and some notebooks and I began to keep a 'diary', these little notebooks I would scribble down in were anything but 'diaries' though. I soon found that channelling my energy into poetry and storytelling, helped me not only put into perspective the things in my life I was struggling with, but I also found my voice, my vocation and what I now do for a career. Whether you have professional ambitions to be a writer/storyteller/poet or just feel stuck in a rut and would love to let off some steam by writing a few quirky limericks, sign up to my class and we can find your voice and GET YOUR WORDS OUT.
