• Cambridge, modern languages

I am a recent Cambridge graduate from Belgium. I grew up in a bilingual (English and French) family and I studied French literature and Italian. If you are looking for a native French speaker with an excellent knowledge of grammar and spelling who also understands the nuances of English, you've come to the right profile!

            I am able to help with anything to do with French - grammar, translation, speaking practice... - and I am also happy to help with literary criticism, essay-writing technique, and university applications (mock interviews, personal statements...).

            I am currently tutoring someone who is taking an A-level in French in June and I have been helping her mainly by clarifying complex grammar points and polishing her translation skills.   More informally, I tutored a friend's 13 year old brother who needed help with grammar exercises and French pronunciation. I also offered French speaking practice for English-speaking neighbours' children who had recently moved to Belgium. Lastly, I helped a friend's sister with her application to Cambridge by reviewing her personal statement and doing a mock interview with her.

            I'm a singer-songwriter, I take contemporary dance classes and I'm interested in modern art and philosophy.
