Adelaide State Library, Adelaide University, Online, SeafordHi, my name is Freya and I offer individual and small-group tutoring in French.
I additionally offer private violin tuition/lessons, where I try to incorporate a wide range of repertoire, as well as music theory and stylistic knowledge.
I have completed a Bachelor of Arts and Music (Honours), with a major in French and classical performance on violin, and am currently working on my postgraduate thesis which examines the work of several French-language authors from the Pacific region.
For the past two years, I have worked part-time as a French classroom tutor at the University of Adelaide. I also tutor several students privately in French and violin.
I love languages, and I have undertaken language studies at both Australian and French universities during the course of my degree. While overseas, I obtained a level C1 of French. I have a good working knowledge of French literary and cultural studies, as well as French grammar. I have a high level of proficiency in both written and spoken French, and I can effectively explain how sentence structure and grammar work from the perspective of someone who has had to learn the rules firsthand.
I enjoy working with both high school and primary school aged students, and I have access to a variety of tools and interactive resources, including online textbooks, worksheets and audio material, that I have gathered over my years of language study. I can help with specific areas of difficulty, and/or interest, as well as helping students meet the requirements of their school curriculum. I can also provide advice and learning strategies to help people of any age succeed in, and hopefully enjoy, their language studies!
