A personalised approach for every learner
At Lishana Academy, every student benefits from a tailored teaching plan. Each new learner begins with an initial assessment lesson to determine their current level, interests, learning style, and long-term goals. Based on this, Ophélie designs a structured action plan with clear learning objectives that parents can easily follow and monitor.
Her approach combines structure and creativity:
- Confidence-building communication skills
- Strong pronunciation through phonics and speaking practice
- Grammar and vocabulary taught in meaningful contexts
- Cultural knowledge, including French traditions, literature, and media
- Creativity and games as learning should be fun

- GCSE French
