Melanie - Thorpe Hall tutor






Information About Melanie:


Personal Description:

I am French and I am 21.
I studied English at university in France.Indeed, I passed my degree in English last june and during my third year , the university proposed the students to go to England as language assistants.I thought it was a very good idea and that it would be a wonderful experience.
That is why i am working now as a French assistant in primary schools.
I arrived in october and i really enjoyed both my job and the place I live in.The area is really beautiful.
I would like to stay next year and to come back after to France to study advertising and have a master.
Maybe later i will come back and do a PGCE to become a French teacher in England.



Teaching Experience:

-In france i used to give English private lessons to children( 6 months before i came to England)
-I have been a French language assistant in England since october.
-I have been giving private French lessons to an adult since november.
-I was a rythmic gymnastic teacher for young girls in France during 5 years so it is another good teaching experience with children



Tutoring Approach:

use different approaches whether i tutor children or adults.
With children it is good to use the approach "learning through playing" using games..
Children get bored really quickly so if a lesson is lively and dynamic the pupil doesn't really have the impression that he is "working"hard.
Moreover, I know that to have a good sense of humor helps wheter the learner is a child or an adult.
I can adapt my lessons according to the learner.

I can teach any level and i am interested in teaching every level because it is good to have experince in different level.
