About Tessa
Hi! I'm a French tutor with over 4 years of experience and a Bachelor of Education in French as a Second Language. I specialize in working with complete beginners and love helping students take their first steps into the French-speaking world. My teaching style is patient, friendly, and full of humor—I believe learning should be fun, not stressful! I use a mix of games, skits, flashcards, and storytelling to make grammar and vocabulary come alive. These tools help students remember concepts more easily and stay engaged during lessons. Whether we're acting out a café scene or playing a vocabulary game, there's always room for laughter and learning. I take pride in helping students build real confidence in everyday conversations, from introducing themselves to ordering in a restaurant. I create a safe space where mistakes are part of the journey and progress is always celebrated. Lessons are interactive, supportive, and always tailored to each student’s pace. If you’ve ever felt nervous about learning French, you’re not alone—but it can be fun and exciting with the right guidance. Let's discover the joy of learning French together, one playful step at a time!

My teaching approach to French focuses on building a deep and lasting understanding of the language through clear structure and engaging content. I start by assessing each student’s level, goals, and interests so I can design lessons that truly fit their needs. Whether you're learning for work, travel, or personal growth, I tailor my methods to help you progress with confidence.
Along with grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, I include creative writing, debate skills, and reading news articles to make lessons practical and lively. For those looking to advance their professional language use, I offer lessons on formal writing, presentations, and conversation skills. I also enjoy working with learners who simply love the language and want to explore it through culture and expression.
Classic French literature is another part of my method, helping students understand tone, context, and deeper meanings in texts. We analyze short stories, poetry, and excerpts to improve comprehension and enrich vocabulary. I also encourage students to write their own stories or journal entries in French.
My goal is to help you speak clearly, write with purpose, and think in French. I use discussion, listening activities, and real-life scenarios to keep the lessons interactive. With steady practice and the right support, you'll feel more fluent and confident. Let’s unlock your potential and make learning French both exciting and meaningful.
