Learning foreign languages at secondary school is a very different experience from primary. A weekly top-up, to go over new concepts, help with homework or plug any holes in understanding, can go a long way to smoothing the transition. Combined with a continuation of the 3-10 years "immersion and fun" activities, students will experience a practical blend of conversation, phonics & spelling, vocabulary building, writing skills and, most importantly, enjoyment!
Individual: £30 per hour.
Pair: £45 per hour.
Primary schools provide a fantastic opportunity for children to engage with a foreign language and with the prospect of new and interesting countries where it is spoken.
This is the perfect age to get to know a foreign language; our "language-learning-window" is still wide open and our vocabulary/new concept receptors are at full capacity. Primary school classes are now full of resources and well trained staff, but with only a small time frame per week in which to "have a go".
If your child is raring to go, with a keen ear for French/German, or a love of the country and language, why not try "immersion and fun"?
This combines the primary school approach to learning (including phonics and vocabulary building) with an abundance of authentic French/German stories, music, film and games. All activities and conversation are conducted entirely in French/German, to make it a proper "immersion zone" each week.
Group (up to 4): £22 per 40 minute session.
Individual: £16 for 40 minute session.
Speaking and Writing:
Preparing for speaking and writing can be daunting.
We can help you
Reading and Listening:
Our phonics and vocabulary building techniques, along with plenty of past paper practice, will prepare you well for the listening and reading papers.
You can book weekly lessons to give you a smooth overall learning experience, or schedule them for when you're in particular need (subject to availability).
Tuition:
Individual £30 per hour.
Pair £45 per hour.
The Common Entrance Exam, taken at 13+ in French/German, is an important step for your child. The wide range of subjects in which many independent senior schools expect a result can make the year(s) leading up to the exams seem like a very long haul indeed. Our Common Entrance Exam preparation sessions can help your child fill any gaps in knowledge, improve understanding, gain confidence, practise past papers and develop exam technique.
