Tutoring...done

It was one of those things that I had always wanted to try. I had thought of myself as a pretty terrible teacher (yeah, I lose patience rather quickly ...) , but then again that had been limited to my attempts at teaching my mum how to use the computer! I mean who WOULDN'T get annoyed (love u mum!). But being presented with the opportunity to earn some cash, imparting a little knowledge of what should come naturally to me (ie. French), I took the plunge.

For those of you that had the benefit of attending the College Charles III with me back in the 1990s you will no doubt remember that my grades in French Grammar never reached those desired levels of adequacy. Basically, I sucked!

Deterred me? NEVER.

I am now an adult with higher education in one back pocket and heaps of experience in the other... Teaching grammar ? YES I CAN!

So there I was, surfing the web a few hours before my lesson, trying to figure out how, why,when do we use the passe compose and the imparfait. Yaaahooo...I am an expert now. Ask me anything!

The actual lesson went really well. I surprised myself, patience levels were sky high... maybe because the mother was sitting behind us in the Starbucks! (although to be fair the child was adorable!).
