The role of a tutor is to make sure it truly makes sense — and that’s where I can help. I have always excelled academically, but grades alone don’t make a great tutor. What matters most to me is clarity, patience, and real understanding. I take the time to listen, adapt explanations, and ensure that concepts truly click. Learning should feel encouraging, engaging, and empowering. ————————— FRENCH Being good at French means living it — not just studying it. As a native French speaker, I help students go beyond textbook answers and develop natural, confident French. Whether your goal is academic success, fluency, or confidence in speaking, I tailor each lesson to your needs. We’ll work on: Speaking with confidence, even when hesitating Writing clear, well-structured responses Grammar that actually sticks Listening and reading comprehension Sounding French, not translated-from-English French 😉 I’ll also help you build habits outside lessons (yes, including switching your phone to French!) so the language becomes part of your daily life. ————————— MUSIC With a strong background in musicology and extensive practical experience, I offer music tutoring adapted to a wide range of levels and goals. I play: French horn Guitar Bass guitar Trumpet Thanks to this versatility, I can adapt to many musical styles, whether classical, jazz, contemporary or popular music. Lessons can include: Music theory Musical analysis Ear training & listening skills Instrumental support Help with school or university music studies ————————— MATHS (up to Year 9) I tutor maths up to Year 9, as I am familiar with the Australian lower-secondary curriculum, which closely matches the French one at these levels. My approach focuses on: Understanding why methods work Building strong foundations Breaking problems down step by step Developing confidence and autonomy If something doesn’t make sense, we stop and unpack it — no skipping, no shortcuts. ————————— Interests Classic cinema (1940s–1950s) Jazz dance & tap dance Sewing & garment making
