About Adam
I've taught languages to all age groups and all sorts of people, in the UK, Spain, India and France.
A passionate language learner, speaking French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, and currently teaching myself Ukrainian, I constantly experiment with different ways of engaging myself and others in language learning. I understand that there are many different reasons why people are motivated to learn a language, and that everyone has different goals and priorities in their language learning, so learning about my students is extremely important to me.

English
I teach French for high school students, and for adults who want to learn for a wide variety of purposes. For this reason, my teaching is highly tailored to the needs of the student and the activities and teaching methods used are decided in collaboration with my students.
For high school students, I focus on building on a core repertoire of language to allow students to create spontaneous answers for the speaking and writing exams. We constantly practice responding to the kinds of prompts found in your exams, using the need to include different tenses, give opinions, and to speak about ourselves and others as a guide to what language to study. For reading and listening, we focus on key high-frequency words which unlock meaning and help students to navigate the traps and pitfalls in those exams.
With my adult students, we will tailor our learning to the individual's needs. I have had students who want to do nothing but practice speaking, who want to read novels or watch TV shows together, and who want to learn with a more traditional grammar-based approach. I'm happy to follow your lead or to suggest schemes of work - as long as our lessons are helping you to achieve your goals with the French language!
I am a qualified language teacher, with ten years' experience teaching English and French to adults and school children in a variety of settings. In 2021, I gained my PGCE from Newcastle University.

Perfect! I have really enjoyed my lessons with Adam, he is knowledgeable and always has something new and exciting planned for each lesson. He is caring and understanding and is always mindful of the difficulty level.
- Adam's response :Adam’s been a joy to teach so far - highly motivated and willing to stretch himself, as well as a really pleasant person to spend time with!
Excellent! I liked the way Adam evaluated my ability through conversation, correcting, giving useful tips and highlighting things to be careful of in the future. I liked his adaptability and his willingness to adjust the lessons to suit my ability and aptitude. He is also a nice person to spend time with, so it makes for a great learning environment.
Perfect! Only two lessons in and I feel my French is already ten times better. Not only are the lessons helpful, but they are something I look forward to. Merci!
- Adam's response :I'm thoroughly enjoying my lessons with Gabriel - he has a good knowledge of French vocabulary and grammar, and of Francophone culture, and we're making a lot of progress by applying that to general conversation
Perfect! Adam is very compassionate about his work and tries everytime to bring something new to every lesson. He adapts each lesson to my current level and always encourages me to do my best. After almost 10 lessons i feel more confident in my speaking and writting skills which bring me closer to my goal of taking DELF exam. I am totally recomending him to anyone who wishes to learn or improve his french skills
- Adam's response :An enjoyable, wide-ranging conversation in French - I'm looking forward to our lessons in the future!

I would highly recommend working with Adam, he was always super kind, super knowledgeable, full of ideas and great resources to work with, and really took the time to get to know me and find out my learning style and needs.
Adam is a fantastic tutor, he adapts his lessons as needed, is friendly and extremely supportive.
With my autism it can be difficult to sit through lessons, however this isn't the case with Adam.
The lesson is tailored to my strengths and level and its clear to see progress!I worked with Adam for several years and always had the utmost respect for his teaching. He continuously sought out new material and new modes of teaching to expand his skill-set, and consistently gained high acclaim from his students.
Diligent, clever, but also warm and with a sense of humour, Adam was always his students' favourite.I have been having 1-1 lessons with Adam for just over two years. I decided to take up French as a hobby and Adam has helped keep it that way, his lessons are fun and enjoyable. Adam molds the lesson around the student and is flexible in his teaching to help process and understand the new information.
