Aurelie is a native from Marseille in France. She specialises in teaching French to adults at any level, beginners, intermediate and advanced. On top of that, she can tutor children from the age of 10 years old and help with any French exam such as GCSE, IGCSE, A-level, DELF, DALF... She is DBS checked.
Aurelie is on her way to becoming a qualified teacher and before working with us she was a French teacher in a language school in Italy and in France, where she delivered group teaching, one-on-one lessons and Business French lessons.
Aurelie is a bubbly and dynamic individual. She is also open-minded, curious and patient. She believes a good teacher must be able to arouse a passion for the language in the learner to allow them to maintain their motivation to achieve their objectives. A good teacher should also have a passion for sharing culture because learning a language means embracing the culture of the country.
In her free time, Aurelie likes to read, travel, ski and go trekking. But she also enjoys going to farmer’s food markets and discovering new specialities.
On top of French, she also speaks Italian fluently and English. She has learned them at school and by living and working in countries where those languages are spoken.
Every lesson follows the Structured French methodology that we have refined over more than a decade. Rather than relying on improvised conversations or disconnected exercises, our curriculum follows a carefully designed progression where vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and conversation develop together. Each lesson is supported by our collection of twelve books, ensuring every student benefits from the same structured learning experience.
We have taught French to people from different parts of the world, adapting the teaching method to their background, requirements, and consideration of their mother tongue. We had the pleasure to teach French to university lecturers, researchers and doctors, and people working in the cinema, the music, and the media industry such as tv producers, journalists, or musicians. We have as well taught French to business owners, to CEOs, and to members of the European Parliament. Moreover, we have delivered in-company lessons, for English companies working with French ones and, to people working for French companies. Some of them are:
