I studied French and Spanish at university and subsequently lived and worked in France for eight years. I continued travelling to France on business for a further five years. I have a love of French language and culture, and enjoy passing this on to those I teach.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught French and Spanish in secondary school and previously taught eight lessons of French per week in primary school for three years. I also have four years experience as an SEN TA, working one-to-one and with small groups. I am currently concentrating on tutoring work in French for all ages.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is two-fold. On the one hand, pupils need to learn grammar and vocabulary to pass exams. On the other, I believe they will do best if they also enjoy their lessons and find in them material relevant to their own lives and interests.
