French, Indigenous, English, & Constructed language tuition with Stuart

Stuart is a Teacher of French, Indigenous, English, and Constructed Languages and he offers private tuition upon request, with fees negotiable depending on the number of sessions that are booked. 

Stuart coordinates the French, Endangered Indigenous Language, and English Program at a private educational centre in Adelaide, South Australia.

Seen in the images above and below using his dynamic new pedagogy Language In Action, Stuart brings  students across age demographics into the magical world of language learning through visual art and storytelling, using sequential art, language meditation, drama and improvisation.  

Teaching both orthography (written symbols) and oracy (spoken expression) is essential, especially for Barngarla, (the Endangered Indigenous Language taught at the centre) which has no native speakers.

Sound-symbol awareness and confident speech empower children to become active participants in revitalising the endangered Indigenous language.

Stuart is seen here lecturing to language students at the University of Adelaide in the field of applied linguistics.

Stuart presents masterclasses to students studying the Japanese language and culture, an investigation of the influence of Japanese animation and Manga on global society.

Stuart is seen here lecturing to French students at Adelaide High School discussing his linguistics thesis investigation of la bande dessinée franco-belge.

He can assist in accent change and correct pronunciation enabling non-native English speakers to be clearly understood in a professional and social environment by everyone, no matter what the situation, and conduct English language classes to groups or individuals to enhance their fluency, writing skills and cross-cultural communication, as well as assist actors with accent change for character roles and keynote speakers and presenters in enhancing their linguistic skills for public speaking.

Keynote Speaker - Nexus Pop Culture Convention - Aug 8 & 9, 2020 

Nexus Con is a youth-orientated event aimed at both bringing people together and presenting diverse and educational topics. Stuart contributed two highly informative panels, with his presentation on Constructed Languages gaining a lot of highly positive feedback from the audience. As the host for Stuart's panels, I found him very professional and able to adapt easily on the fly for any comments and questions I had for him. His passion and enthusiasm are able to bring his presentations to life in a way that engages the audience and inspires interest in the topic.
