Maria

Bonjour! I'm Maria, a French-born tutor raised in multicultural London. This unique bicultural background allows me to provide invaluable insights to students learning French or English. With a strong academic foundation from elite institutions like Lycée Henri IV in Paris and studies at Queen Mary University, I combine expertise with dynamic teaching to make language lessons enriching and fun.

Tutoring Experience

My extensive teaching experience includes several years of providing French and English language lessons to students of all ages. I have tutored children and teens for GCSE, A-Level, and Baccalaureate exams, ensuring strong grammar, writing, reading comprehension, and literature analysis skills. For adult learners, I've helped complete beginners develop conversational abilities, while also coaching advanced students in professional writing and speaking. As a volunteer mentor with Debate Mate, I've guided underprivileged youth in building critical thinking and public speaking talents.

Tutoring Approach

Through an immersive, communicative approach, my lessons incorporate activities that get you actively using the language from day one. We'll analyze texts and essays, practice dialogues, build vocabulary, and discuss contemporary topics. Grammar instruction is integrated in a practical way. For literature students, I provide close reading guidance and literary analysis.
