Do you have a personal message for students?
I am aware that modern languages are seen to be as difficult as science subjects, but I am convinced of their importance, and eager to show you a greater level of depth of learning and cultural insight through my position as a native speaker. I am happy to adapt my lessons entirely to your individual needs, but also willing to create my own lesson plans. I believe that a certain level of spontaneity is vital to improve one's confidence in a foreign tongue.
