Catherine

I was born in Albertville in the French Alps. I came to Cardiff as part of my degree to work as a French assistant and ended up staying for ever.

Tutoring Experience

Friendly, experienced and encouraging French tutor

I taught French for 10 years in a school in Cardiff and left to concentrate on my educational website. The site, which is used by teachers in schools, provides interactive activities for language learners. After I gave up my job as a school teacher, I started tutoring in my free time as well, because helping pupils was a side of my work that I really missed.

I teach students from Year 7 to Year 13 as well as adult learners from complete beginners to advanced level.

Tutoring Approach

I know how hard and frustrating it can be to learn Mo a new language. As a native French speaker, I had to learn English as a second language myself. My approach is centred around the leaner and I will adapt my teaching methods to suit your needs, whether it be by preparing you for an exam, helping if you are struggling in class or just giving you the confidence to speak French.
