About Me
italki teacher since Apr 23, 2017
⦁ I studied French and English extensively for 3 years. I gained invaluable experience of translation practice and was awarded prizes and merit distinctions
⦁ In Sorbonne University (Paris), after 6 years of University studies, I gained my Teaching Qualification
⦁ I hold a MA in Teaching French as Second Language, as well as a MA in History
⦁ At the City of London School for Boys, I have successfully taught students who have gone on to both Oxford and Cambridge
⦁ In my free time, I run meetups in London to practice French language with like-minded learners and native speakers
⦁ I am secretly in love with most types of cheese ;)
Me as a Teacher
⦁ I enjoy getting to know my students and commit to them for regular lessons
⦁ I always do my best to adapt to your needs
⦁ I will give you a structure to your plan your long term learning if that is your thing
⦁ I love to make a difference in my students' lives ;)
My lessons & teaching style
⦁ I think improving your confidence speaking is key, which means I am patient and encouraging
⦁ I like to keep track of your progress
⦁ I like to follow up on what you say and explain grammar with examples from there
⦁ I enjoy getting to know you and your personal interests
⦁ Conversation is an art. I perfected my conversation technique to allow you to:
1. Speak as much as possible
2. Practice some aspects of grammar
3. Give you listening practice
4. Be in a real life situation (in predictable and unpredictable scenarios)

Samy est très gentil et patient, et en tant que professeur, il est bien compétent. J'ai appris beaucoup d'expressions utiles pendant la classe, ainsi que les aspects culturels français. Merci beaucoup !
