FRENCH & ENGLISH TUTORING
Foster a love for LANGUAGE LEARNING
“For children, learning a second language is easy.”
NOT ALWAYS. While it’s true that younger brains are more adaptable and receptive, factors such as the amount of exposure, motivation and methodology are crucial for progress! To inspire fluency, the best way is to foster a love for language learning.

3 to 5 years-old
The EXPLORER
Emotions are a crucial component to language learning in the Early Years.
To create a positive and engaging learning experience, lessons are tailored to the interests and personalities of the young explorers.
They will benefit from hands-on and exciting activities such as :
Organised outings
Arts & craft activities
Science experiments
Baking
Imaginative play & songs
6 to 10 years-old
The GAMER
These classes utilise card and board games as a means of supporting the development of language skills, rather than relying on tedious flashcards and uninspiring exercise books! This approach offers a more engaging and enjoyable way of achieving writing and speaking goals.
The benefits of using games for language learning:
An engaging way to develop vocabulary, sentence structure and storytelling
Can emulate real-life context
Motivates the reinforcement of academic skills such as reading, maths and writing
A fun way to introduce a variety of topics
Boosts confidence and allows students to develop other cognitive skills such as problem-solving and decision making
11 to 14 years-old
The BUILDER
At this stage, language learning opens up students to new worlds and perspectives connecting them to other people and cultures. It also introduces them to complex rules of grammar, a panoply of irregular verbs, and the ongoing battle of when and where to add an accent… As a result their motivation to learn tends to crumble, so how do we re-build it?
To help, the classes focus on:
Simplifying complex grammar jargon to enhance confidence in writing
Cultivating vocabulary and conversational skills to for practical real-life contexts
Understanding cultural traditions, celebrations and norms
A personalised approach to adapt to students learning speed and preferences
15 to 16 years-old
The EXAM ROOKIE
AQA, Edexcel and Cambridge GCSE & iGCSE.

These lessons will help with :
GCSE exam methodology
Learning how to memorise new vocabulary
Understanding and applying grammar rules
Past-Paper and essay writing
