About Rebecca

I currently combine university-level linguistics lecturing with private French teaching, and across nineteen years of academic and private instruction I have worked with approximately seven hundred students spanning complete beginners through advanced academic-track learners. My academic position gives me deep expertise not only in French usage but in the broader structural and historical understanding that genuinely serious language learners benefit from significantly. I specialize particularly in guiding ambitious students toward competitive academic pathways, having personally mentored numerous students through successful university admissions and professional certification processes involving French. My teaching style is intellectually rigorous, reflecting genuine academic standards, though I remain warm and encouraging throughout, understanding that structural mastery and genuine confidence develop together over time. I bring real scholarly depth into every lesson, ensuring students understand not just correct usage but the underlying structural logic behind French itself as a language. Many former students have gone on to pursue demanding academic or professional French requirements successfully, crediting our lessons with building both skill and genuine understanding. After nineteen years combining academic and private teaching, I remain genuinely passionate about developing well-rounded, intellectually engaged French speakers rather than students who simply memorize answers.

About the lesson

My academic background in linguistics shapes a teaching approach grounded in genuine understanding of how French actually functions structurally, not just memorized rules applied inconsistently. I begin with a thorough diagnostic assessment, mapping a student's grammatical understanding, vocabulary range, and phonological patterns before designing a genuinely individualized study plan tailored specifically to them. Grammar is taught with real explanatory depth, particularly the subjunctive and complex tense system, helping students understand why a structure works the way it does rather than memorizing exceptions blindly. I integrate phonetics formally, using proper terminology to help students understand pronunciation and liaison systematically rather than through vague imitation alone without real understanding. Reading comprehension work draws on genuinely varied, challenging texts, building academic vocabulary and structural awareness far beyond typical conversational material available elsewhere. Writing receives serious, structured attention, with detailed feedback on argumentation, cohesion, and register appropriate to academic and professional contexts specifically. I track detailed linguistic progress data for every student, using genuine assessment methods rather than vague subjective impressions of improvement over time. For students pursuing academic or professional pathways requiring formal French proficiency, I provide detailed guidance drawn directly from real university-level teaching experience. Every lesson maintains genuinely rigorous academic standards while remaining patient and supportive throughout.
