How long will it take?

If you are a total beginner, we will need to spend approximately 6 hours on pronunciation before anything else, after which we’ll move on to vocabulary building and grammar.

If you are intermediate, you will feel the benefits after 4 lessons already (improved confidence, invaluable tips).

If you are advanced, one lesson will immediately bring it all back to you!


Do I need to be good in grammar?

If your English grammar is not good to start with, you may want to consider buying a help book worth £8 which will lay it all out simply for you
and help you understand what is an ‘infinitive verb’, a ‘pronoun’ or what the ‘subjonctive’ is…


Will I really improve?

Whether you are learning one-to-one or in a class, I can guarantee you will improve or else you get your money back!


Do I need to buy lots of material?

If you are a beginner you may find useful to buy yourself a copy of the pronunciation book we’ll be using (worth £8). For beginners and all others you may find useful to buy the grammar book we’ll be using (worth £8).

For grammar phobics, there is a helpful book also worth £8 you can also buy.

No purchase is compulsory.
 
Are you qualified?

I am not a qualified teacher.

I studied French with top marks, philosophy and foreign languages (English, German, Spanish, Dutch).

I have 10 years of teaching experience in England and have had more than two hundred students to date.
(December 2010).

I am approved by the Cactus Language School in Brighton. Feel free to contact Rod Mitchell for references.


Do I need to commit?

I do operate a 24hr cancellation policy, but apart from that you can stop the lessons at any time, either for a break or forever.


How long can you teach me for?


I am permanently based in North Dorset and only plan to go away for breaks and holidays.


Can you also help with translation?

Yes. Letters, administrative documents… tariffs according to the document.
