Laurence

I am a native French speaker working as translator and face to face interpreter. I also do proofreading in both English and French. I taught English as a first language in France and in Japan, French in UK , l do have extensive experience in teaching both adults and children, (my proudest achievement is home teaching very successfully three of my four children from primary to GCSE levels...I instilled in them the love of reading and the desire to study in an autonomous and enjoyable fashion, hence their A* in French, English) All my GCSE students got a A* (or a 9 last year), very proud of them…I also helped my adult students pass their university exams, and interviews where French was a requirement. I have also made it a speciality to teach adults from scratch or revive their long forgotten knowledge of French. Very satisfying for me to see and enjoy the result, when my students finally start to express themselves...adults might need more conversation skills but as with children, they need good grammar as a base (in both French and English, l can tackle both, the key to learning any language)
In person, when going to my student’s home or workplace, I charge £50 an hour

Tutoring Experience

Years of tutoring for exams, all levels, beginner french to advanced, all ages, worked through big agency, was their best language tutor, just find them too expensive, I want to teach everyone

Tutoring Approach

I believe in a flexible approach to suit each student and engaging with their personality, their likes and dislikes, and find a common ground on which we can build a fun and productive tutor/student relationship.
