A-Sophie - Belfast tutor






Information About A-Sophie:


Personal Description:

Hello, bonjour!
I am a French and English bilingual speaker.
My home-country is France but Ireland has adopted me (I have lived in Ireland for ten years)!
I have tons of hobbies, but generally, any creative activity gets me interested, from hat-making to collage. from cooking to photography!

Why do I want to tutor? because I am a people person and enjoy working with people from different ages and backgrounds!

All in all, I feel very lucky to be able to do a job I love!



Teaching Experience:

Teaching French:
I have taught French to children, teenagers and adults in schools and in people's houses.
I have prepared students to state examinations (GCSEs, AS and A Levels) and taught conversation classes to students who wanted to travel, work or even live in France.

Teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages:
I have taught young learners and adults in private language schools and I have also done some private tutoring.
I taught in Poland and in the Czech Republic for three years as well as in Belfast, where I live.
I have taught different levels, from beginners to advanced.
I have prepared students to Cambridge examinations (FCE and CAE).
I am happy teaching general English, business English, or conversational English.

On a different note, I have also taught arts and crafts as well as basic yoga to teenagers during summer schools!



Tutoring Approach:

Here are the words I associate with tutoring:
COMMUNICATIVE- because I believe that's what languages are about!
CREATIVE- I try to use a wide variety of materials to make my lessons as fun as possible!
PERSONALISED- lessons tailor-made for you; whether you need to focus on exam preparation or speaking practice, you will learn what you need and what you want!
POSITIVE- no stress and no pressure, we will go at your pace and we will study in a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere!
