Ben - Bude tutor






Information About Ben:


Personal Description:

I am a french native speaker. I grew up in Nepal and in France, studied in the Netherlands, France and the UK. Worked in the NGO sector in West Africa, and am now living a relaxed life in Bude, taking care of my daughter, playing music, and learning how to surf.



Teaching Experience:

I have always had a keen interest in pedagogy, and view education as one of the most valuable aspects of life. I have had extensive experience teaching English, French and History to adults and children during my studies in France.



Tutoring Approach:

I think that the best way to learn languages is to practice conversing, even at beginner level. Through the repetition and memorisation of its basic structure, the system of the language can be understood and the vocabulary flows from there. This also makes learning a language enjoyable.

I approach history tution with a strong focus on the curriculum and the needs for historical specialism, critical thinking and source analysis that adapt to Key Stage and subject focus. I use alternative learning tools such as films and literature to bring histories to life and inspire real interest and engagement in the subject.
