Information About Delphine:

Personal Description:

I completed an MA course in Translation and Interpreting at Salford University (2009) in both French and Spanish. Before this I worked for 3 years in London for a tour operator then for DK travel guides which forms part of Penguin. I have travelled extensively and am used to working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I am CELTA qualified (awarded July 2010) and speak both French and Spanish fluently.

Teaching Experience:

Whilst I was an undergraduate I gave private tuition in English when I was living in France on my year abroad, teaching a 4 year old, a 30 year old and also 2 18 year olds who were preparing for their baccalaureat.

I then did an introduction to TEFL course as part of my final year degree course in French and Spanish.

At the end of my undergraduate degree, I spent a month shadowing teachers at a secondary shool based near Bristol (Backwell School) where I also assisted the teachers in some lessons and conducted some of my own French classes.

I then continued to tutor languages alongside my full-time job.

In July 2010 I gained the CELTA qualification and subsequently taught children and adults both English and French for a year in Berlin (full-time). This was a fantastic experience and gave me the opportunity to work with learners of all levels.

Tutoring Approach:

I intend to tailor make my tutoring to fit the pupil's needs and goals. This would be ascertained in the first lesson. Then, I will set out a list of subject areas to be covered in the following weeks of lessons, spending time to prepare each lesson beforehand. I will use a variety of different media resources as lesson material along with any relevant coursebooks that the pupil might already be using.

Qualifications:

• BA in French and Spanish (First Class Hons)
• Introduction to TEFL qualification
• MA in Translation/Interpreting in French and Spanish
• CELTA
