Sophie

French entrepreneur, consultant, astrocoach, French tutor and translator. I'm passionate about languages and entrepreneurship, teaching French and French culture to teenagers and adults. I'm patient, empathic and accessible. Now also an interpreter for the NHS.

Tutoring Experience

26 years' experience teaching French in London, GCSE and A level, 11+, DELF, FCO and MOD exams preparation. I taught in secondary schools between 1997 and 2004. Since 2000, I've been tutoring a wide range of people: from 2 years olds to adults, including many retired students. I teach special needs/gifted children and adults. I've taught professionals in the City, at the Foreign Office and Ministry of Defense. Adults who enjoy holidays in France, work for NGOs, doctors who are preparing a move or secondment to a French speaking country.

Tutoring Approach

Patient and calm, enthusiastic and approachable. I'm an intuitive teacher, which means I'll adapt my methods as I get to know my student, as everyone learns differently and at a different speed. I've learnt many languages myself, which has taught me what works in terms of language learning.

Languages that I have studied: English, German, Spanish, Italian, Albanian, Modern Greek, Latin, Japanese, Danish.
