About Ira
I’m a French tutor with over 6 years of experience and a Bachelor of Education in French as a Second Language. I love teaching complete beginners and helping them feel confident from the very first lesson. My approach is patient, supportive, and often sprinkled with humor to make learning enjoyable. I use games, skits, flashcards, and storytelling to bring grammar and vocabulary to life. Lessons are interactive and designed to make practicing French fun and memorable. I focus on practical communication so students can confidently use French in everyday situations. Watching students gain confidence and start speaking naturally is always rewarding. I tailor each lesson to the student’s pace and interests, keeping learning playful yet effective. Creative activities help students retain new words and grammar effortlessly. My goal is to make French feel accessible, engaging, and exciting. I believe laughter and curiosity are key to long-term success. I invite you to discover the joy of learning French in a playful, encouraging environment. Together, we’ll make language learning fun and rewarding.

My teaching approach focuses on helping students build strong French skills in a structured and engaging way. I support learners with school curriculum topics and provide thorough exam preparation. Lessons include memory retention techniques, test-taking strategies, and practical exercises to boost confidence.
I emphasize reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills, ensuring students develop all aspects of the language. Grammar and vocabulary are reinforced through interactive activities and real-life examples. For students with prior exposure to French, I build on their existing knowledge to strengthen fluency and comprehension. For those preparing to travel or use French practically, I focus on conversational skills and real-world communication.
I integrate tools like flashcards, language apps, and pronunciation exercises to support independent practice. Structured review sessions help track progress and identify areas for improvement. Lessons are customized to each student’s pace, goals, and strengths. My methodology balances academic achievement with practical language use. Every session encourages growth, curiosity, and a lasting love for French.
