    French Lessons: Passionate about the French language, I support you at all levels for tangible and motivating progress!
    My Approach as a French Teacher My teaching method is centered on tailored, personalized learning designed to meet the specific needs of each student. From the very first session, I assess the student's level, goals, strengths, and areas for improvement to create an effective and customized program. Who Are My Courses For? My lessons cater to all levels—from beginner to advanced—for adults, children, students, and professionals alike. Teaching Methods: I focus on an active approach, incorporating practical exercises and real-world examples to make learning dynamic and relatable. Whether the goal is improving written expression, preparing for exams, writing CVs or cover letters, mastering business French, or academic support, I ensure that every session is interactive and adapted to the student’s pace and needs. What Does a Typical Lesson Look Like? A lesson usually begins with a brief review of previously covered topics, followed by a new lesson or practice in a specific area. I also provide concrete tools (e.g., practical guides, exercises, role-play scenarios) to help students practice independently and make steady progress between sessions. What Makes Me Different as a Teacher? Passionate and dedicated, I adapt to each student's personal goals and prioritize consistent, motivating progress. My aim is to impart not only technical skills but also confidence, enabling students to use French fluently in both everyday and professional settings.

    Christian
    Planning on studying law? Want to know more about how the law works? Want to know how to write like a lawyer? Then this class is for you!
    Hello! My name is Christian and I am a qualified solicitor back in my home country of New Zealand.I've recently moved to London and before I embark on my next professional adventure, I thought it might be a nice time to give back some of the knowledge I've collected over my studies and professional experience. I took great satisfaction when I helped my younger brother during his legal studies (and even more so when I admitted him to become a lawyer). I spent many years trying to grasp what the law is, how to write a 'legal opinion', how to write 'like a lawyer' - even how to 'think like a lawyer'. Surprisingly, all thise things are actually quite helpful even if you don't want to become a lawyer. Understanding the law can help you know your rights better, it can help you solve problems more logically, it can help you write more concisely and more persuasively. Anywhere you go or whatever you want to do, somewhere along the line the law will be involved - if ever so slightly. And the best part is, there is always more to learn! Even the finest judges, or the most distinguished King's Counsel don't know everything about the law (although they;d be pretty bloody close). So let me know whether you're studying law and want some help with your studies, whether you want to improve your writing or negotiating skills, whether you want to learn abit more about the law that affects you, or whether you want to know what its' like working as a lawyer. There are no silly questions in my class! (Please note that this class is not and cannot be constituted as 'legal advice', it is for educational purposes only!) Look forward to meeting you all, Christian Oh and if I haven't selected available times that would suit you better, please drop me a line and I'll see what can be arranged.
