Personal Description: FIRST HOUR FREE AS A GOODWILL GESTURE
I can teach in the privacy of your own home or you can come to my home if preferred
I also have a B.A (Hons) Marketing with French.
I have been teaching Adults for the past 5 years and Children for the last 3 years.
I have lived in Paris for 2 yrs and whilst studying for my Degree this played an important part into the French culture and customs.
I will be starting a Post Graduate in Teaching in September 2009.

Tutoring Experience: I have been teaching Adults for the past 5 years and Children for the last 3 years.
I have been teaching French to children with "Lcf" from the ages of 3 yrs to 63 yrs within a group environment Reception, Primary, GCSE, A levels, Degree and Adults. Fun French using music, games, activity sheets, Cd with songbook.
All lesson plans are tailored to suit individuals or groups from beginners to advanced levels using a 12 week structured lesson plan progressing to the desired level that the individual requires.
Homework only if requested for adults and children.

Tutoring Approach: It will soon be compulsory in all Primary schools in England for children to take up another language like French, so get ahead of the rush and get your child ready for the changes which will be implemented next year.
I have a very flexible approach and use phonetic methods as my specialty is in accuracy of pronuncation.

From Mark Simmons (5/5): Helen provided a great service at short notice, tutoring my daughter for her French GCSE oral. She improved her vocabulary and pronunciation to allow her to take the exam with a confidence that she didn't have before.
Thanks,
Mark

Reply from: Helen Mc Mahon B.A (Hons), CIM: Thank you Mark I am delighted Jessica did so well in her French oral GCSE exam and I wish her all the best in her future studies.

From Annette Henn (5/5): I rate Helen as 5/5.

My daughter enjoys her classes and says that she has made things that she couldn't grasp before a lot clearer and also points of grammer that she found difficult to understand at with the teachers at her school she now understands. Helen also makes her classes fun.

Reply from: Helen Mc Mahon B.A (Hons), CIM: Thanks Annette

From Krysia Swierkosz (5/5): Helen has been helping our niece and nephew (aged 10 and 9) gain confidence with the French language and customs prior to their families relocation to France. We have 'listened in' on the lessons and laughter and found that Helen's way of teaching is engaging, enthusiastic and FUN! Both children are rapidly gaining confidence as a result of this. Thank you Helen!

Reply from: Helen Mc Mahon B.A (Hons), CIM: Thanks Krysia

I wish them every success in their relocation to France and I am delighted they are gaining the confidence in French they require to live in France.
It has been a pleasure teaching them and I am very happy at their progress.
