Information About Ann:

Personal Description:

My name is Ann. I have a degree in French and German (2:1) and a Master's in European Literature. I have a PGCE post 16yrs teaching German to AS and A2 classes.

I have worked for English Language Schools both as a Tutor and in the marketing of courses to international students. I have co-ordinated a Language School University Placement Service. At Bournemouth University, I have worked as an Educational Access Assistant and provided lecture notes for a variety of students.

Overseas work experience includes a Stage at the European Commission carrying out research for the Consumer Policy Service.

I have tutored French and German since 2009 for academic agencies in Dorset.

More recently, I have taken the TEFL Academy's TEFL Course Level 5 and their short courses for tutoring 1-1 and for teaching yls and vyls (young and very young learners).

Teaching Experience:

To train for the PGCE I taught AS and A2 German classes as a trainee.

I have tutored French students preparing for university entrance exams for entrance to the Grandes Ecoles in Paris. I have also taught EFL to overseas business students and young adults.

Since 2009, I have worked as a Tutor of MFL and some EFL. I have taught French KS2, KS3 and GCSE to school students. I have taught German to young beginners and to KS2 and GCSE students. I have taught beginner French and German to adults.

Over the last two years, I have tutored primary EAL and young adult ESOL.

Tutoring Approach:

Recent tutoring has required close attention to the GCSE syllabus and the four skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Work done has covered the different topic areas alongside the grammar practice needed for the exam.

One-to-one tuition gives the student the opportunity to practise skills which is not always possible in large classes.

EAL learners here benefit from studying with the CambridgeEnglish resources. With ESOL learners, I use the Trinity College London's resources and test materials online.

Qualifications:

• BA Combined Honours French and German 2:1
• Master's in European Literature
• PCGC post 16
• TEFL Certificate Level 5
