Me as a Teacher
Le Podcast de la Vie https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/d5Sh32ctQAb
I have developed my own method from needs my students had (recurring mistakes and obstacles) to teach in the most productive way possible.
Even though I use the same method with all my students, it is tweaked to fit the learning mechanism of each individual. Some people need more time to speak, some will need more visual support, some will need extra challenges, some will need to break down learning objectives.
Professional experience:
- Primary schools
- Secondary schools
- Colleges
- Higher National Diplomas
- preparation for Interviews, Conference Calls, etc
My lessons & teaching style
French for FLUENCY :
- We agree on a resource you would enjoy working on (a text / video / podcast)
- You prepare your resource by reading the questions that come with it (no written answers needed from your part), you choose your own vocabulary from the resource to shape your thoughts and things you would like to express in class
- During the lesson we have a natural conversation using the questions and the vocabulary you have worked on
CONSTRUCTING your French:
- You study a slide at home composed of a grammar explanation, a reading practice and a writing expression
- We concept check in class and do a lot of practice, mainly focusing then on oral expression

I've been tutoring with Deborah for almost two years now, and I'll do my best to fully express just how incredible a French teacher she is. She's brilliant at pinpointing what areas need improvement, always on time, always has the right resources and homework to set. Whenever I'd come to her with a specific topic I needed to focus on for school, she would know exactly what exercises and activities could help. She's incredibly reliable and dedicated, and has been able to help me both with casual lessons throughout the years or with intensive lessons in the lead-up to exams or assessments, and has even been kind enough to schedule additional lessons before very important assessments. I've improved massively in French in the past two years thanks to her, while I used to struggle to keep up with my classmates I now feel far more comfortable with the language. Deborah is knowledgable, friendly, very encouraging and simply fantastic at what she does!

Deborah is the best French teacher, ever. She has a gift for identifying the most important area for concentration to improve your french as much as possible in each lesson. Her lessons are interesting and varied and she is warm, encouraging, and energetic. I look forward to each lesson and my french has improved drastically!

I have tired learning French many times before meeting Deborah, but I never found a teacher who personalised a lesson as well as Deborah does. I noticed a big improvement in my French only after a few lessons with Deborah.She has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable in the lessons, and for me this was very important as I was very shy in speaking French with others. I highly recommend!

Deborah is wonderful! This was my first class and I was already conjugating verbs and building sentences. She is very kind and patient. I look forward to learning more French. Merci!

Great trial lesson with Deborah! She did everything I was looking for in a teacher to do. Gently corrected when needed, laughed with me, and made me feel truly comfortable. She has a cool personality. Thanks Deborah!
