A bit about Guillaume

Hey there! I'm Guillaume, your friendly online tutor with over 5 years of experience. I'm half-French, half-English, and I've made it my mission to make learning French, English, and Maths fun and engaging for students of all ages. What I specialise in French: From ages 5 and up, I'm here to help with everything from basics to GCSEs, IGCSEs, A-Levels, CIE Pre-U, and even adults looking to master the language. English: I offer English lessons up to GCSE level, providing students with the skills they need to excel in this essential subject. Maths: For students aged 5 to 11+, I'm your go-to tutor to boost those foundational skills. 1. Assessment and Goal Setting: We begin each lesson by discussing your progress, any challenges you're facing, and your specific learning goals. Whether it's improving conversational skills, mastering grammar, or excelling in your coursework, your objectives guide our session. 2. Interactive Learning: I believe in making learning fun and interactive. We'll explore the French language through a variety of activities, such as discussions, role-plays, games, and real-world scenarios. This approach keeps you engaged and helps reinforce your understanding. 3. Customized Curriculum: Your lessons are personalized to focus on the areas where you need the most improvement. If you're preparing for a specific exam like CIE Pre-U, we'll work on targeted exercises and practice tests. If it's conversational French, we'll have immersive dialogues. 4. Grammar and Vocabulary: We delve into grammar and vocabulary in a way that's easy to grasp. Complex rules become simple guidelines, and extensive vocabulary feels manageable. I break down these elements to ensure your understanding. 5. Practical Assignments: Homework is a key component of your learning journey. Assignments are designed to reinforce what you've learned, allowing you to practice independently. I'll provide feedback and guidance to help you improve. 6. Encouragement and Patience: I believe that building your confidence is essential. I offer unwavering support, patience, and encouragement. You're never alone in your learning journey, and I'm here to boost your self-assurance. 7. Progress Tracking: We regularly assess your progress and adjust our lessons accordingly. If there are areas where you're excelling, we can dive deeper into more challenging topics. If you're facing difficulties, we'll spend more time on those. 8. Fun and Enjoyment: Learning a language should be enjoyable. I strive to make our lessons not only educational but also something to look forward to. By incorporating culture, real-world context, and a touch of humor, we make the process engaging. I began my tutoring journey over 5 years ago. What I love most about teaching French, English, and Maths is the profound impact it has on my students' lives. Witnessing the moment when a challenging concept clicks, and the excitement that follows is incredibly rewarding. I find joy in fostering a love for these subjects and helping my students become confident, independent learners. Connecting with them, seeing their growth, and being a part of their educational journey is what truly motivates me as a tutor. My teaching style is characterized by creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for my students. I tailor lessons to each student's unique needs, making learning interactive and enjoyable. I emphasize the importance of patience, providing unwavering support and encouragement, while also setting clear expectations for focus and hard work during sessions. My aim is to boost students' confidence, promote independent learning, and help them discover concepts and answers on their own. My teaching is fun and engaging, often using real-world examples and creative approaches to make learning an enjoyable experience. As a tutor, my favorite thing is witnessing the "aha" moments when my students grasp a new concept or overcome a challenge. It's incredibly rewarding to see the spark of understanding in their eyes and their growing confidence in the subject matter. Knowing that I've played a part in their learning journey and helped them achieve their academic goals is what makes tutoring such a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for me. Your teaching philosophy centers around creating a nurturing and interactive learning environment that is tailored to each student's individual needs. You believe in the power of patience, unwavering support, and encouragement to boost students' confidence and foster independent learning. Your approach is marked by making learning fun and engaging through real-world examples and creative methods, all while setting clear expectations for focus and hard work during sessions. Ultimately, your goal is to help students not only understand the subject matter but also to become curious, self-sufficient learners who can discover answers and concepts on their own. The greatest success I've had with teaching was helping a student make a remarkable leap in their academic performance. This particular student started with a low grade and, through dedication and hard work, achieved a D1 in their CIE Pre-U French examination. This achievement was particularly significant because it demonstrated the transformative impact of tailored lessons, unwavering support, and a commitment to their success. It showcased the potential for tremendous growth when students are provided with the right guidance and motivation, and it's a testament to the joy of witnessing such a substantial improvement in grades. Exam Boards: My expertise includes preparing students for various French-related UK exams, such as 13+, GCSE, A levels, and Cambridge Pre-U. Additionally, I offer guidance and support for English and Maths up to 11+ exams.
