Claire - York tutor






Information About Claire:


Personal Description:

I am a recent Oxford University graduate, and gained a 2.1 in my French and German Degree, with distinction in the colloquial use of French and German. I am able to cater for all levels of language learning, from the beginner up to the university student. I can also teach a broad range of language skills, from reading, writing, listening and speaking to literature study and exam preparation, plus university entry, including Oxbridge.



Teaching Experience:

I lived and worked as an English teacher in France for a year where I was teaching a range of language skills to groups of 4 - 25 students, of differing ages and abilities. As such I am very flexible as to what age, level or number of students I can tutor. I have also undertaken some one-to-one tuition in the UK.



Tutoring Approach:

As above, I can teach a broad range of language skills, all of which are essential to the competent linguist. Students tend to learn best by understanding the language, rather than merely learning set phrases 'by heart', and it is therefore this principle that governs my tutoring. I try to use a variety of language learning resources, from text books and work books to radio and video clips, music and film. I am extremely enthusiastic about my subjects, and so I will try to make your learning fun and enjoyable in a relaxed, but focused, atmosphere.
