Matt

I am a 21-year-old student currently studying French and German at the University of Central Lancashire and I am about to start my fourth and final year. I spent my third year teaching English as a Language Assistant in a school in France.
I have always had a passion for languages since a young age and have always wanted to share my knowledge with others.
Having lived in France for a year, I now have a more in-depth knowledge of the language and the culture which I aim to bring to all my lessons.
I have had invaluable teaching experience which has helped me decide that I want to be a teacher in the future.
Ever since I started learning TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in my first year of university, I have known that teaching is the career for me!

Tutoring Experience

I lived for a year in France teaching English to students aged 11-15 where I created activities on pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary for the different age groups in my school. This has helped me learn how to appropriate my lessons to the levels/abilities of my students.
While at university I am also studying TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). This has helped me learn about the theory of teaching which has also helped me throughout my teaching life.

Tutoring Approach

I like to make lessons fun but ensure that the main focus is developing the language. I enjoy doing grammar and creating activities to help my students understand it. I like to create games which help the acquisition of vocabulary and also improve pronunciation or grammar. I am happy to adapt to the needs of the students and focus on the specific areas that they want to do or need to do for school.
