About Elena
With 6 years of experience teaching French to high school and college students, I have helped more than 150 learners achieve fluency, academic success, and strong communication skills. My approach centres on personalised instruction, where every lesson plan is carefully adapted to match the student’s pace, goals, and areas of improvement.
I incorporate interactive conversations, structured grammar practice, pronunciation coaching, multimedia tools, and cultural discussions to ensure lessons remain dynamic and effective. One of my key strengths is making complex grammar rules simple and practical, allowing students to apply what they learn immediately and confidently.
I focus heavily on building student confidence. By setting realistic goals and tracking progress consistently, I help learners stay motivated and engaged. My sessions are balanced between academic preparation and real-world communication, ensuring well-rounded language development.
For me, teaching French is more than instruction—it is mentorship. I strive to provide a supportive, motivating, and tailored learning journey that empowers students to communicate fluently and confidently in any setting.

My teaching approach to French is guided by compassion, integrity, and adaptability. I believe that language learning should be structured yet supportive, helping students grow step by step with clarity and confidence.
Compassion allows me to understand each student’s individual pace and challenges. I create a comfortable environment where students feel free to practise speaking without fear of mistakes. I provide patient explanations and repeat concepts when necessary to ensure understanding.
Integrity ensures that my lessons remain organised and transparent. I set clear objectives for each session and provide honest, constructive feedback. Regular practice exercises and revision sessions help students maintain consistent progress.
Adaptability enables me to adjust my teaching methods according to age, proficiency level, and goals. Beginners focus on pronunciation and sentence formation, while intermediate and advanced learners refine grammar, writing, and conversational fluency.
My lessons include vocabulary building, grammar drills, listening activities, reading comprehension, and interactive conversations. I also incorporate cultural insights to enhance understanding. In addition to French, I offer support in related areas such as literature, exam preparation, and communication skills.
