I was brought up in the French system which focuses on method and logical rigor. My sessions are therefore organized, and I usually set a program for each session, based on my tutee’s strengths and weaknesses. I adapt quickly to my tutee’s needs and can change the session’s program according to capacities. For example, one of my students had an attention disorder. I then included several breaks and more interactive work, like poetry readings and role-plays. No student is the same, and my work with every individual is different.
I put a lot of emphasis on communication and feedback, knowing what I am doing right and wrong is important to me. I am open to special requests and welcome new ideas to make our session together more entertaining. When learning is fun, you look forward to it!
