About Sophie

QUALIFICATIONS -
I am a French and Spanish Modern languages graduate, certified at C2 level. I have spent a total of 6 months living in Paris and 12 months in Latin America (Peru and Argentina).
I am currently studying International Development at City, University of London, specializing in gender development in Latin America.

SUBJECTS:

SPANISH -
I teach beginners Spanish - basic vocab, sounds, and conversations
I teach the GCSE Spanish curriculum: grammar, conversation/ oral, topical vocabulary
I teach conversational Spanish - for people who want to practice oral: Beginners - Advanced.

FRENCH
I teach beginners French - basic vocab, sounds, and conversations
I teach the GCSE French curriculum: grammar, conversation/ oral, topical vocabulary
I teach conversational Spanish - for people who want to practice oral: Beginners - Intermediate.

ENGLISH
Thanks to my linguistic capabilities, I can help students tackle English grammar.
I also am a part-time journalist and have worked as a Cultural Editor for my student newspaper, so I can help proof-read essays and English work.
I have also taught English conversation classes during my Year Abroad in Latin America for non-natives.

GENERAL LANGUAGE/ CULTURE - Having lived in South America and France, I also love to help the student understand the cultures of these places, showing pictures, and even bringing in examples of cuisine and cultural activities.

About the lesson

My teaching method depends on the level of language ability:

- For both child and adult beginners language students, I think it's most important to first learn the sounds of the language. This was ignored in my own language classes growing up, and is incredibly important. I use videos and songs to help the student understand different vowel and syllable sound nuances. I also try to speak in the subject language throughout our lessons, even if that means speaking very slowly and repeating in English if necessary. I will pick one topic every week, and the student can definitely request specific topics (directions, fashion, food, shopping, movies).

- For GCSE language students, I follow the curriculum and adjust my classes depending on the student's strengths/ areas they need to work on. I will help them with any grammar and help them understand their workload and homework. I make sure that students come up with their own answers. I also will speak in the subject language throughout the class, going as slowly as needed, and translating where appropriate.

- For conversational classes - each week we will pick a topic the student is interested in, depending on their linguistic level. I do not limit the student to basics, I am happy to talk about whatever the student is interested in. Examples include: Peruvian food, Brexit (!), classic french movies. Again depending on level, I will print out articles/ pictures on the topic for the student to read beforehand which we can discuss in the lesson.
