Information About Christine:

Personal Description:

I was born in France 36 years ago and have been living in the UK for the past 17 years.
I have a languages, art and computer science background and a passion for knowledge sharing.
I work as an in-house designer in Reading, and also volunteer once a week as a carer for adult with learning difficulties.
I have many hobbies, from music to art, from food to dancing, from travelling to reading... but most of all I love my life and have a positive attitude even in the most difficult situations.

Teaching Experience:

I have 10 years experience as a private tutor. I have taught many different age group and many different subject, from English as a foreign language to Spanish and French. My pupils ranged from 3 year old to 65 years old.

I also have corporate experience in training with specific design software such Adobe InDesign and PhotoShop.

Tutoring Approach:

I have different approach to teaching depending on age group and on level of knowledge.

I had to teach Spanish to 2 children aged 3 and 4 years old. Their memory at that age is great, they are like sponges but their attention is quite short, so I had to vary the activities as often as possible to make sure I had their full attention. I was working with flash cards, showing them objects or animals they knew, given them the translation verbally and making them repeat. I also involved the parents, writing the phonetic translation being a flash and making them work with the kids.

I've also work with a 48 year old lady, who needed to regain confidence with her spoken French. So all we did was talk. I would make her speak about her day or about what she did during the weekend and take notes on her mistake or on phrases/word she could have said differently.

Qualifications:

• TEFL
• Multi-media diploma
