Very enjoyable first lesson. Tutor very understanding of my limitations and helpful in many ways. Look forward to my next lesson.
I am a French native speaker and have had over 20 years experience teaching French. I taught French at several private schools around Melbourne, and have been tutoring French privately to both children and adults, at all levels of abilities! I worked three years for Ensemble en Français – Online Japanese school teaching French to Japanese adults and children all around the world. I also have a extensive experience teaching VCE French as a teacher but also as an official assessor for the French exam. Finally, I have created my own teaching program which includes 70 worksheets and will take you from a beginner level to a mature French speaker.
