Native French speaker offering French tutoring upto GCSE level and beginners French lessons to curious learners

I worked alongside Holly Blain-Rodman at La Petite Ecole in Leeds for a year, who first attended as a student and eventually became one of the teachers. We worked with French/English bilingual students looking to improve their French but primarily to encourage them to speak with confidence and flair. Holly specialised in running theatre-influenced workshops with 12-16 year olds and also spoke in French with children across all ages in one-on-one sessions. At La Petite Ecole the abilities varied greatly, with some students speaking fluent French and some practically none at all. Therefore Holly is capable of tailoring her tutoring to the student and recognising their needs, focusing particularly on strengthening their confidence in communication.

Holly worked at 'La Petite Ecole de Leeds', a French bilingual Saturday school, from January 2015 to July 2016. She taught French to children aged 6 to 14 years, helping them with their speaking, listening and grammar skills. Holly was very patient and calm with the children and found ways to make the lessons fun and entertaining. Her theatre background certainly helped make the classes lively and the children loved her! Being bilingual, she is fluent in French with a very good accent which was a great asset.
