Teaching methodology :
Welcome! My name is Géraldine. I offer private tuition in French, Italian and English. I grew up in France, lived for many years in Italy and now live in beautiful Pembrokeshire, Wales.
I use innovative teaching methods that I have tried and tested, which will help you learn and remember a new language effortlessly. Our lessons together will be fun, without any kind of pressure. I promise you will never have to slave over a grammar sheet!
The principle I apply in my lessons is based on the way children learn their mother tongue: through observation, listening, imitation and repetition. This learning technique will help you to build a solid foundation, to understand the language and gradually to express yourself. You will learn more than just vocabulary and develop a deep familiarity with the language you have chosen.
As a personalised approach helps students to reach their full potential, I shall adapt the lessons to your level and objectives, respecting your pace and needs. The lessons take place in a welcoming atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy the learning experience with calm and serenity.
A few words from our students
“I have been learning French on and off for many years. I've tried to improve with many teachers. Meeting and learning with Geraldine has been different to working with any other tutors. Firstly, she is so warm and non-judgemental, she puts you at ease and makes you feel at home. She has a great sense of humour and lessons would often be a real giggle. But, there's something else important to mention and that is the unusual method of teaching Geraldine uses. The learner is engaged without effort, using repetition, listening and speaking. Each lesson includes movement with the verbs, which is such a different and intuitive way to learn the different tenses. This finally helped me to get past only talking in the present tense! Geraldine has really helped to melt my blocks to learning a new language. The lessons were so good I would be looking forward to them all week.”
