I am a qualified secondary teacher of French. I taught in secondary education in the UK, before going to live and work in Zimbabwe and then in France, where I taught English at all levels for 23 years. Since returning to the UK in 2012, I have worked in a local Medical Centre and am now retired.

Tutoring Experience

1 year of secondary French/English teaching (Zimbabwe)
23 years of English teaching/training in France (secondary, further and higher education, adults, English for business)

Organising many exchange visits between France/UK

Tutoring Approach

I love languages and love transmitting my enthusiasm for language learning to my students. I start by getting to understand the needs of the student and then concentrate on conversation/exam preparation/grammar as per these needs. I like to have a light-hearted but thorough approach, and try to vary the content of each lesson to maintain interest and curiosity in the learner.
