Gaelle Biguenet

Bonjour! I am a London-based tutor from France. I come from the beautiful, lake-side town of Annecy, located near the Swiss border. Whenever I get the chance, I visit my family to swim in the lake's vivifying water, hike up the surrounding mountains and eat lots of cheese, bread and pastries.

After many twists and turns in my professional journey, I decided to devote myself to teaching my native langue. It is a desire to share my love of the French language and culture, and belief that learning is most effective and fulfilling in a one-to-one environment, which led me down this path. It's been four years now, and I still find every lesson stimulating and gratifying.

I was lucky to have received an excellent education from secondary school to higher education. I completed my A-levels at an international school in Geneva, Switzerland, where I studied English Language & Literature, French Language & Literature and History. I went on to do a Bachelor's Degree in Religion, Philosophy & Ethics at King's College London, followed by a Master's Degree in Journalism at City, University of London. I worked as a staff writer for a while, but quickly realised that I wanted to work directly with people rather than sit in front of a screen writing articles I didn't believe in. Now I'm here!
Gaelle has helped me reach my goal of learning French to a B1 level. I wanted to gain confidence in my spoken French before moving to Paris, and her lessons exceeded my expectations. Her patience and attentiveness immediately made me feel at ease. Gaelle created exercises and activities on topics that I’m particularly interested in, which helped me stay engaged and motivated. I highly recommend her!

She is patient, attentive and immediately made me feel at ease. Each lesson was intentional and tailored to my personal interests. I’m very interested in French politics, so Gaelle created exercises on this subject.
