Jacky C - Tutor in Sea Point
I am a native french speaker, born and raised in France and I worked 15 years in the french speaking part of Switzerland. I am then able to make comparisons and differences between the french used in the 2 countries (and even more with Canada, Belgium and African countries). I wrote and published a sci-fi book in France in 2009. My specialization is the travel industry though, in which i've been working for 20 years in Europe and in Southern Africa. I always had a thing for languages, and learned Russian and Farsi a while ago. More recently i've learned spanish and i am currently learning Portuguese.

Languages are aimed at being spoken, which is why i offer tutoring in how to handle a conversation with confidence, as well as how to make stress-free readings. The courses will be dynamic and mostly focused on subjects the student wishes to approach. Ideally the learner needs to have an intermediate level (or have covered the basics) and be able to stand a simple and short exchange to get the full benefit of the lessons, however i could also focus on bringing someone up to basic conversation level. On the opposite side of the spectrum, i can train the more advanced students with language fluency and technical terms. The aim is to become fluent by improving the day to day language skills, to acquire the best possible pronunciation (oui oui), and also sustain ideas explicitly and question others eloquently.
