Hello there! My name is Vicky Frost and I am passionate about languages. My goal is to learn as many languages as possible. I was raised bilingual by my French mother and English father. My level of French and English are therefore equal. My experience with other languages goes back to college where I learned Spanish, German and Italian while having literature classes in English and French. Later, I studied teaching for second language learners at University. I'm quite outgoing and love to share my passion for languages. I also like traveling, video games, singing, and playing piano.
Me as a Teacher
I now have 6 years of experience teaching online and 2 years of teaching in schools. I teach to both adults and children (at least 10 years old). I mainly focus on speaking practice on Italki since I think this is the best way to become fluent. I usually use recast as a corrective method but I will adjust my interventions according to each student's needs. I also have many different ways of teaching and I talk about it with my students first to see what they like best.
What I can do for you:
- Conversation practice
- Pronunciation coaching
- Feedback
- Corrections
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons are different for every student since I customize my classes for everyone. I now teach only conversation with students while correcting their mistakes out loud. I also type some notes on skype/zoom while talking and explaining when needed to make sure that nothing is missed. For conversation classes, I usually engage in discussions with a topic chosen by the student for the vocabulary to be more relevant to them after having several classes. That way we won't talk about the same thing all the time. I then make all corrections verbally while having a conversation. The goal is to have an immersion.
If you want to improve your conversation skill she is The best teacher in Italki.

I couldn't have asked for a better French conversation tutor! It was good to brush up on my French with Vicky. She gave me the corrections I needed to practice!
