Rachel's profile picture

Information About Rachel:


Personal Description:

I have just finished an undergraduate degree in French at Oxford University (Queen's College, First Class Honours) and I am taking a year out to earn money for further study. The degree not only gave me a comprehensive knowledge of French literature but also allowed me to spend 7 months in France during which I became fluent in the language. I also spent a month in French-speaking Guadeloupe where I studied on an intensive language course and researched the Creole spoken there.



Teaching Experience:

I spent 7 months in France teaching secondary school students English. This involved teaching a wide range of ages and abilities in a class and on a one-to-one basis. I have also done voluntary work at a local youth centre and I am part of the Oxford university Target Schools program which works with secondary school students looking to apply for higher education. I am therefore confident working with young people from a variety of backgrounds.



Tutoring Approach:

I begin tutoring by arranging a trial session where I assess the tutee's level of French language and discuss the specific areas they would like to focus on. Lessons would then be an hour or two hours, depending on what the tutee prefers, and structured around ten minute blocks of learning and small sections of application to allow the tutee to test their understanding of each topic.
