We are so incredibly pleased to have found her and our daughter is truly appreciating Florence’s engaging guidance for her French A Level.

From Karen (5/5): I have had three lessons with Florence so far. I am very rusty but needed help in conversational French. Florence has been fantastic.

Reply from: Florence: Merci beaucoup Karen. It's a pleasure to teach you.
Next lesson, more conversation!
A mardi,
Florence

Thanks again.
Kind regards,
Florence

From Mandy (5/5): Always wanted to speak another language, I love France so all i needed was to stop procrastinating and start learning.

I started french lessons with Florence recently and despite languages not being my strong point, I always look forward to our sessions especially as she is so relatable and easy to talk to.
She has the patience of a saint and always answers my incessant and at times inane questions with good humour and encouragement.
Our lessons are always punctual, informative, well structured and I feel I might eventually get somewhere.

Reply from: Florence: Merci beaucoup Mandy. I really appreciate it. It's a pleasure to help you with your French and I think you underestimate your ability. It's all about confidence. ;)

Florence

From Adrian (5/5): As an adult/casual learner, working with Florence has been thoroughly enjoyable. The sessions are well planned and her approach has enabled great improvements in both my written and spoken French. She is a very supportive tutor and I'm looking forward to further improvements as our classes progress. Highly recommended!

Reply from: Florence: Merci beaucoup Adrian. you're a real pleasure to teach with your fabulous sense of humour and your constant willingness to improve. And you give me great homeworks to correct. A vendredi

From Siobhan (5/5): My daughter started Zoom sessions with Florence after we went into Lockdown and she was no longer attending classes at school. Florence has been an excellent teacher of French and has kept my daughter interested and engaged throughout the sessions. Her teaching is very clear structured and has been an enormous help during this tricky time in education. I hope to keep lessons going with Florence even after school life returns to normal. I can not recommend her enough if you are looking for a French tutor.

From Helen (5/5): Florence is extremely patient and she is a great teacher. She explains things really clearly and makes the lesson enjoyable. I would highly recommend her.
Helen

Reply from: Florence: Merci Helen. It's very kind of you. You're a very dedicated and motivated student too so it's easy to be your teacher.
A demain

From Lila (5/5): Florence is clearly an experienced, highly professional tutor. I approached her to improve my French as a requirement to do my PGCE for MFL Secondary in autumn with French as a third language. She knows the GCSE requirements inside out which is very important to me, she listens to my needs and gives good feedback about what I could improve and is good at increasing my confidence about where I already have strengths. She is also incredibly resourceful and supportive when it comes to advising on materials to work with that are right for my level. She is also a lovely person and maybe as my French improves, we will be able to chat in French for longer!

Reply from: Florence: Un tout grand merci Lila. C'est un plaisir de vous aider avec votre français qui est déjà à un très bon niveau. Il vous suffit de travailler votre compréhension et surtout votre confiance en vous. Je suis certaine qu'on pourra un jour converser en français.

Bon weekend et à la semaine prochaine.
Florence

From Mazen (5/5): Ms. Florence is a fun teacher and helps me get more and more familiar with the French language. Having a native french person as my tutor has helped me progress my understanding and has allowed me to think and speak more like a native. Furthermore due to her teaching experiences she has allocated many resources and continues to find new ones.
Merci beaucoup madame Florence

Reply from: Florence: Merci beaucoup Mazen. Vous êtes un plaisir à enseigner. Votre motivation et votre esprit travailleur fait de vous un excellent étudiant.

A la semaine prochaine,
Florence

From Ellie (5/5): Florence is an excellent tutor. Having not studied French since school I have found the lessons to be really accessible and enjoyable. I look forward to my lessons every week!

A demain,

From Sophia (5/5): I would highly recommend Florence as a tutor. She is very professional and explains things very well. She is also extremely prompt and reliable, as well as being engaging and friendly!

From Caroline (4/5): Florence is tutoring my daughter at present and is very supportive and engaging.

Reply from: Florence: Thanks a lot Caroline. Elizabeth is a pleasure to teach.

From Eleanor (5/5): I have been having lessons with Florence for 5 weeks now, we have a nice balance between conversation and grammatical practice so it is not too heavy, nor too light on content. I enjoy our lessons and would recommend.

Reply from: Florence: Merci beaucoup Eleanor. C'est également un plaisir de vous aider avec votre français. :)

A vendredi,
Florence

Florence

From JEAN (5/5): Florence is helping me to develop my understanding of the basic conversational French that I have. I am finding the grammar more of a challenge but a confident that my knowledge is improving with her guidance .

Reply from: Florence: Bonjour Jean,

Thanks a lot for your lovely review. We will try to cover as little grammar as possible to focus on your conversation. :)
A lundi.
Merci,
Florence

From Kimberley (5/5): Florence is a friendly and patient professor. I would recommend her to others in a heartbeat!

Reply from: Florence: Un tout grand merci Kim. J'espère que vous trouverez un travail rapidement pour retourner en France. :)

From Saloua (5/5): We have recently started online tuitions with Florence and so far so good. My son had 2 lessons and he is very pleased with Florence 's help and way of teaching. He told me that he feels comfortable asking questions. In all and all we are happy that we found this tutor to support my son for his French A level.

Big thanks to you Florence on your support.

Merci beaucoup. I wish you all the best with your French.

From Megan (5/5): Florence is a superb and wonderful tutor. I'm so glad I found her, her lessons are excellent. She has a brilliant sense of humour too! It's awesome to have found a tutor you can learn from and laugh with. She makes the lessons very relaxed. I am always nervous and don't trust myself but she puts me at ease and I am slowly learning to trust myself! My French has improved by miles in the time that I have been having lessons with Florence, I always look forward to our lessons.
Florence is the best French tutor anyone could ask for, I 100% recommend her. Just don't play bingo with her, she is a ruthless bingo caller! :-)

Reply from: Florence: Un tout grand merci!! Especially for the Bingo. If I wasn't ruthless, you wouldn't learn your numbers. I am glad you are having fun, it's the best way to learn! Carry on that way and you'll be fluent in no time! Be more confident! :)

From Susie (5/5): Florence is very helpful, and teaches with empathy towards me as her student, which I much appreciate. So far she has proved a very efficient and professional teacher.

Susie Wilson.

Reply from: Florence: Un tout grand merci Susie. Vous êtes une étudiante très agréable et facile à enseigner. A bientôt
Florence

From Elizabeth (5/5): What a delight it is to have found someone like Florence for improving my spoken and written French! Being a native-French speaker she keeps me up-to-date with modern day terms and phrases while I try to become more fluent. She is so helpful when I need to translate into academic French using what for her would be unusual terminology. And when we're not doing serious stuff we can have a laugh together! What more could I ask for?

Reply from: Florence: Un tout grand merci Elizabeth. C'est un réel plaisir de vous écouter parler avec passion de votre métier.
Et vos éclats de rire illuminent ma journée.

Encore merci,
Florence

From Hanneke (5/5):

Reply from: Florence: Merci Hannake. Looking forward to make you and Andrew fluent! :)

From Gill (5/5): Florence has shown me a variety of ways of learning the French language in a fun but informative way. I really enjoy my lessons with her and she is easy to get on with and is polite and friendly.

Reply from: Florence: Merci beaucoup Gill. You're an extremely good student. I am amazed on how quickly you grasp certain things. I am looking forward to seeing you fluent in French.
Merci et à bientôt,
Florence

From Amanda (5/5): Lots of different fun ways of learning. She's got a good sense of humour. I look forward to and enjoy my lessons.

Reply from: Florence: Merci Amanda, c'est un plaisir de vous enseigner…

From Robert (5/5): Very enjoyable lessons!

Reply from: Florence: Merci beaucoup pour vos agréables commentaires. Being yourself a teacher you know the importance of enjoying yourself in a lesson to learn more effectively. A bientôt.

From Leo (5/5): Florence is a fantastic french tutor. Florence has taken the time to find essential learning resources to help aid in the learning process, these compliment Florence's ability to teach french. I thoroughly enjoyed learning french, many thanks Florence.

Reply from: Florence: Merci à vous également Leo. You are made my job much easier with your enthusiasm and hard work. I thoroughly enjoyed our lessons too. Good look in the future.

From Morgan (5/5): Florence is thorough and makes learning French fun as well as stimulating. Many lessons may be necessary yet in order to master the language but finally getting there with Forence's help, will be far from an ordeal.

Reply from: Florence: Merci Morgan et Paul. It's a real pleasure to teach you both as you are such dedicated students. I am looking forward having long conversation with you in French.

From Ann (5/5): Hi, Would just like to say Florence is a very good teacher of French. She goes at my pace (slowly!). Goes through words, phrases etc that I am not clear about and has a very comfortable room where we chat. I am very pleased I chose her and am going to take weekly lessons.

Thank you for your site, I have mentioned it to my friends

Ann Zamorski

Reply from: Florence: Merci Ann, I thoroughly enjoy our conversation in French. It won't be long until I don't have to correct you anymore.

From Anna (5/5): Super communication and very flexible when organising lessons. My daughter is really enjoying her French lessona and wants to continue :-)
Thank you Florence!

Reply from: Florence: Thank you for your feedback. I am glad Ellie is enjoying her lessons. She is a pleasure to teach and I hope she will carry on until she is fluent in the language. Thanks again, Florence

From Jack (5/5): Florence is a very friendly and good-humoured person. She is tutoring both my wife (beginner) and myself (intermediate), and is very flexible in working with both of us at the same time. Florence is both practical and imaginative in the way she teaches. As she travels to our house, I might also add that she is a good time-keeper.

From Pru (5/5): I started my lessons with Forence just a few months ago and already I have seen such an improvement. This weeks lesson was fantastic!! Most weeks there is a lesson plan and homework, but as this was the first lesson this year, we sat and had a catch up… sat and "gossiped" in french and it was such fun. Her lessons are full of helpful hints and tips on how to do things and say things in France, not just speak the language. She only speaks to me in french during my lesson, so listening really helps. I have improved so much, that I can now speak to people in France over the phone and not have to ask the dreaded "do you speak English?" Question!

Lots of fun, very friendly, very interesting lessons and most of all very patient. If you want to improve your existing skills or learn from scratch, Florence is the perfect teacher.

Merci Florence!

Reply from: Florence: Merci beaucoup Pru!! Cela fait énormément plaisir: J’ai hâte que vous me racontiez votre voyage à Disneyland et surtout la parade! A mercredi.

From Wendy (5/5): Florence is an excellent tutor. She has a lovely calming manner and is very welcoming and friendly. My daughter has enjoyed her sessions. Florence has increased her confidence in the subject and improved her understanding of a lot of areas of French that she was unsure of. I would definitely recommend Florence to anyone looking for a French tutor for their child.

Reply from: Florence: Hello Wendy,

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I am really pleased I helped Hanna with her French. Any time she needs some more help, I will be more than happy to do it. If I don't see her before her trip to Paris, I wish her all the best in this what would be a great experience I am sure; Thanks again. Kind regards. Florence
