Dear students,
I arrived in Tokyo 4 months ago, in order to pursue a double degree as a Master student at the University of Tokyo. My work focuses on biomaterials for medical applications. The goal of the laboratory in which I carry out my research is to develop new drug deliver system to cure certain types of cancer.
I lived in the USA for 7 months, which helped me to become totally fluent in English. Thus I can give French and English classes. In French, I could teach until a professional and specific field level (whatever the field), while in English I could teach up to a C2 level.
I have experience in tutoring. In France, I gave personal lessons during more than three years, to people from 9 to 20 years old, on different subjects such as mathematics, English and music.
The organisation of my lessons depend on the level of the student. For beginners, I like starting with expressions useful in day-to-day life and some cultural anecdotes. I try to favour informal discussion so that the student feels at ease in the language. While doing this, I give the elementary structural rules of the language. Once a minimum of vocabulary is known, we can move on the written part.
For more advanced level, I will favour oral or writing depending on the student's expectations. For students who want to gain general skills, I usually encourage discussions on various subjects. If possible, the student will choose and prepare a subject on which we can discuss during the following lesson. For the writing part, I will give different exercises, such as essays, dialogues, articles,... Finally some vocabulary lists and grammatical tools are always necessary if one wants to get fluent in a language.
These descriptions are for indicative purposes. It can be modified depending on the student's expectations. I am opened to discussions and willing to adapt.
I believe I can help you improve your language level, by giving you the key assets to learn efficiently. I would be happy to give you a first trial lesson for free, so you can see if my methods fit your expectations. Do not hesitate to contact me if you want to become fluent in French or English!
I hope to meet you soon,
Adrien
